I was wondering if y'all could give me opinions on this double bred highbrow cat mare? I want to run barrels and pen/sort on her. I can't find much information on double bred HBC off spring. I'll attach her pics and pedigree.

I can't give much info on actual double bred HBC horses, but I did handle one once that was a direct daughter of HBC and the mare was high brow hickory and smart little lena bred. Which is essentially very similar. She was kind of odd, quirky. Veryyyy stubborn little red foal. She flipped herself over backwards nonstop like a whale in water trying to halter break her when she was 3 months old. Split her head open, blood running down her face, and she just kept at it. She had a fighting streak in her for sure, tough little thing. But when she got of riding age she was all about work, hard work ethic. And catty. All the HBC babies were that way, quirky and weird but allll work when it came down to it. But some of the quirky could be they were halter broke at 3 months old, dabbled with leading a bit, then weaned when time and kicked out to pasture untouched until we broke them out at 18 months. So they were kind of like mustangs as babies. I personally don't think anyhting beyond a grandparent has much influence on what your horse is going to be like personality wise/work ethic wise. I never pay attention to papers past that, so who knows what this mare would be like. I would think with being double bred you'd get a better chance at her having some of the traits you hear hbc babies do, but it also could go a whole other route. Babies get around 60-70% of their traits from the mare, not the stud. So keep that in mind too 

Thank you  for your insight. That is very true it's all about the mare power! I have heard they are pretty quirky but workaholics.  I can handle a few quirks as long as they don't try to kill me. Lol  I just like to hear people's opinions on  the certain characteristics of bloodlines that I may not be aware of. 

I never felt unsafe around one. We had one that appeared to be sleeping and then scared himself waking up, or woke up scared (idk if they dream or what) and just panicked and pulled back. But the second he hit the tension he shot forward and broke his upper pallate entirely on the wall. We had to wire and epoxy it back together. But he's the only one that got hurt, other than that filly that split her head open. They were embryo babies and between the stud fee and recip process were around $40k a piece when they were born, I have never been so panicked in my life than when I broke them. And nobody cared. I'm like, are ya'll nuts?!!! But to cutters $40k for a horse is like 25 cents to Bill Gates. I still have guilt for hurting them now over 10 years later lol. But I wouldn't necessarily feel unsafe with one, they just seem to like things a certain way sometimes 

As a cow horse person...

Not familiar with the son of WR This Cats Smart.

WR This Cats Smart, I really like them to ride and a top sire now in the cutting and reined cow horse.

I also dont have a problem with the Peppy, some people don't like them, think the blood is a little cold and thick..lol

Smart Lil Ricochet, the trainer I work for(cutting)a lot of the breeding program is based from that sire. I love them. Smart, quirky, sensitive,   athletic, can be ouchy but I have found them to be honest with a work ethic. They will work their guts out for you even if they hurt, a lot of try.

Rode a couple Neat Little Cat colts too, a bit later to mature maybe? The ones we have now aren't futurity horses. Kind in nature I think they just need time?

Just commenting on the individual lines, not commenting on the cross, take from it as you will.
