It's really unnecessary to tear one horse down to build another up. Different people get along with different types of horses. Build, temperament, attitude, background all play a part in what an individual person prefers. And thank goodness there is a great variety of horses out there to choose from, whether breeding for specific traits or buying a horse that possesses the traits you look for. Kumbayah, y'all. LOL!
I agree and I don't think people take the dam side into account enough ! To me both these stallions bring two totally different things to the table.... | |

I like both, have offspring of both.
Why do you say they bring two totally different things to the table?

IMO they are different in their conformation for one. For example from my experience if I had a mare I wanted more turn on I would go with FWF because you tend to get more turn but with Designer Red from the ones I have been around you are going to get more run. Now that saying we don't know what Slick will produce as I am just going off pedigree for all we know his babies may have a ton of rate and need to be crossed on run. No way to know until they are riding age. I personally bred my DFP daughter to Slick as I think he will put some run in her foal and she is a BIG mare so hopefully I will get some size from her. I have a daughter of Hot Colours that I wouldn't dare cross on Slick because I am not that brave and she is a shorter mare lol but I am going to cross her on a son of FWF that I think will add some turn and hopefully height to her foal. | |

Location: Texas | I picked my 15.2 Stoli daughter to breed to slick by design. I have had two of her own babies before, both by different stallions. Both are structurally correct and have good frames. the first down french colt is really shapey, and the firewater ta fame is going to be tall and leggy. i do think its a little bit of a gamble with SBD to see what his babies will look like, since there aren't many of them and the ones that are there are young. But, so far, I have been impressed, and I know that my mare has produced solid conformationally correct babies so far.. so I'm not worried. I've also seen him in person and don't have any complaints about him either. I know he's not a huge horse, but I'm not breeding for huge size. | |

Gotcha
I think that SBD and I'ma are very similar types.
both about the same size and build, SBD maybe slightly less bulky.
But run, both turn and while one has produced more the the other the other has done more himself.
You have potato, patato
Just my .02 have been around both and having offspring from both.

I have not seen them in person and pics can be deceiving ! I just want to see pics of your SBD baby :) ! I haven't seen many of them besides little babies. How old is yours? | |
