Location: Cocoa, Florida | I have a super nice little paint mare in for training, I really like her, she's super athletic and has an amazing stop, gets right up under herself. Asked owners for her papers to research bloodiness, I see the doc bar whom I'm familiar with and I believe the whiz horses were reining? Anyone else see anything special here?

| Yes what ^ said about Scamper. Other than that looks like cow horse (reiners) with a bit of foundation maybe. Hence the Leo. Nice though! |

| Well, I see Leo and that's a good thing, a pretty significant name to have on the papers, in my opinion. Click the following link to read about Leo.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_(horse)
As far as Doc Bar goes, you know what they say: "Saying your horse is a descendant of Doc Bar is like saying your child is a descendant of Adam and Eve." Who isn't? Doc Bar will basically be found, eventually, on ever registered qh and paint there is if you go back far enough looking.

| This horse has no doc bar at all, that I can see. He is king ranch bred on the bottom, crossed on race. I like the bottom side. Top side has some old foundation stuff but nothing with any performance records up close, on the paint end of things. |

The person pointing out that they see Doc Bar would be doing so due to the names such as Tonto Bar...Beggar Bars, etc. pulling the Bar part of the name from Doc Bar somewhere back further in the bloodlines. Of course, this horse has Doc Bar. How familiar are you with QH or Paint bloodlines going back to the beginning of the associations?
Not to poke the bear .... but where do you see Leo? Sure there are horses with Leo in their names ... just like their are horses with Bar in their names on this set of papers ... I think of Leo in the same realm as Doc Bar; if you look hard enough and long enough - they are in the back somewhere.  |

| My comment about the "Bar" being in most every QH or Paint horse should of been about Three Bars, not Doc Bar. I misspoke as I often get the two names interchanged. Doc Bar wasn't born until the 50's...however Three Bars is found on just about every pedigree as he was so influential..in his own time so was Doc Bar but not as much.
According to the AQHA pedigree of this horse the Robin Leo horse is Double Leo bred and Tonto Bars Gill actually does go back to the Three Bars breeding. |

Location: Cocoa, Florida | Thanks for all the info and comments, doesn't really matter what's on the papers since I don't own her I'm just riding her for the next few months and seasoning her I knew she wasn't anything big and fancy but that doesn't matter because this is one of the smartest and nicest horses I've had in a long time. She super athletic and easy to train, I wish they could all be like that! |
