| I have a daughter of FWF who needs speed. Conformationally, there isn’t anything major to try to improve. She’s short so I’d love something taller. For 2020, I’m seriously contemplating Tres Seis. What can you guys tell me about his progeny? (Also open to hearing other stallion suggestions) |

| I have one that is almost that exact cross. Grandson of Fire water Flit and Tres Seis. BEST HORSE EVER!!! |

| Famous bugs is a more proven cross and cheaper. |

| She’s in foal to a DTF right now - I was looking to try something different next, but Famous Bugs is absolutely on my list! Thank you. |

     Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I haven't seen one yet that was very tall and I was most disapointed in how narrow made they are. Just not a lot of horse there, but I know there are some out there somewhere. I would really recommend seeing in person. |

| I just parted with a 4yr old gelding last month :( I bought him sight unseen as a long yearling, let him develop before I sent him off to training...very very laid back personality, but he wasn't built to last in my opinion...He will be 5 in Feb and he's still short/narrow/extremely fine boned...was out of a Merridoc daughter. Very pretty bay, but I wanted something bigger. This boy was very trainable |

| Have crossed a FWF GD on View Me Flying (Tres Seis) and they have been big with plenty of bone and very easy to get along with. |

        Location: Carpenter, WY | We stood a son of Tres Seis until we unfortunately lost him to colic surgery. 15.3, 1350 pounds. He was our one in a million. We've had tons of different bloodlines and after owing Slim, Tres Seis is probably my favorite bloodline now. Smart, athletic, built like a brick **** house and so easy to get along with. Crossed well on cow, working and speed lines. I wouldn't hesitate at all to breed to Tres Seis. |

        Location: In the land of peanuts and cotton | I had a Tres Seis and Frenchman’s guy cross. He was dumb as a brick. Ericka Nelson that’s running at this years NFR tried training him but he never was meant to be a barrel horse so I quit spending the money on him. Made a heck of a ranch horse though. He took to cows like that’s what he was bred to do.

       Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm | I've never had my hands on a daughter or son. But I bred a nice Judge Cash daughter to a son of TS called Tres Fortunes. In my case, the colt was a nice big handsome colt. I was hoping for a filly. He was a little more of a handful than I wanted as a colt so I gelded him. Then he settled right down. He was thick and got big. The lady who has him now has loved him from the first day she had him and is doing really well with him. He's coming 4 and she's got a really nice pattern on him already. Let me see if I can find some pics. This pic is when he was a yearling.

     Location: Northeast SD | If you have the funds I would say -absolutely go for it. The ones I have seen are big and they are bred racehorse on the bottom. |

I looked on Facebook and all I have are snips of video. I don't think they will work here.  |
