Location: Silver Lake, MN | SKM - 2016-02-18 3:07 PM Red3 - 2016-02-18 1:33 PM I bought an Ivory James from the heritage sale a few years ago. He was 4 when I got him with a speed index in the 90s. My opinion is a little different then most of the others on here. I loved him, but he was a handful! When I first got him it took a year for him to be able to go to a show and stand in the warm up pen. I give credit to his track history to his fractiousness, as his last race he was said to be fractious in the gate. During that year though, I patterned him and like everyone else has said, he took to the barrels fantastically! Within a few months he was running about a 1/2 sec off. Despite this though, he was difficult to slow work and could get worked up pretty easy. I sold him due to time constraints of vet school, and him needing more time then I could give. The guy who rides him now has done great with him!! They finished him out and he even had the fastest time of the weekend at a show that had over 800 entries. They said he still can go 90mile an hour and slow working is still hard for him, but his record kinds makes up for it. With this being said, I would take another one, as it seems most aren't fractious like he was and wow are they talented and pretty to boot! The race horses trainers love the male Ivory James. But they stay away from the fillies. The track guys I've talked with have said the fillies are lazy and don't have the fire that his colts do. All ours have been fillies. 5 total now, lol! That might explain your colt.
Thats really interesting. I love mares so that is what I gravitate towards but I think if I found an IJ I could afford I wouldn't care what it was. |

I really like Pappasito myself. The one I have is really beautiful. She may be too smart though. She's a big filly. I also like Furyofthewind. He produces really nice babies too. |

They are a lot alike. PYC has been priced out of what most barrel racers are wanting to spend. We've had a few PYC's too. As far as the track goes, his colts run better than the fillies (same with the IJ). Personality wise they throw similar. I think PYC throws more of a chest on his foals but both stallions produce very well. |

| I have an IJ 5 year old gelding I just bought in the Fall. He is the sweetest! He is very laid back, smart, and a gentle soul. He is big and beautiful! He is lightly started on barrels, but will get him going more at the beginning of May when college rodeos are done! |

I have a Coronas Leaving You that is a doll. She is out of a Stoli mare. She was riding really nice after her track career but I just bought her for a broodmare. Very sensible, easy going and loves people. |

| I've had several ivory James and pycs also rode a couple of other grand get corona fast dash, Sean Roy, and coronas prospect.
All very willing attitude and great to be around. Can get a little hot if your not careful. The pycs always seem to be a little stiffer in their turns. |

There are several Coronas Velvet offspring that are doing well in the arena. He is a Future Fortunes sire but doesnt stand to the public. They run well on the track so only a few have made it to the arena. |
