Curious....those of you that have one, what are they like?  Temperment, etc?  I have been watching them and like what I see, but want to know what they are like to be around and ride.

Thank you!!  

I have a yearling filly sired by French Streakin Jess. So far, so good. She is really smart and mellow--not at all like her dam, who is cutting horse bred (High Brow Cat and Haida's Little Pep). She is easy to work with and catches on fast. Really nice confirmation. Dam outproduced herself, which is what I wanted. She can also outrun her mama in the pasture. 

I picked Jess over Vegas as I liked his confirmation better. Vegas has a longer back and I have seen some of his foals (not all) with longer backs. 

I have a contract for another breeding in 2021 with Jess and I hope to get another one that is just as nice.

We have a yearling. Really handsome roan gelding. He is obnoxiously friendly lol. Constantly in your business. Fairly easy to teach. A good egg. 

I have two of them. My colt is special effort in the bottom side and my mare is corona cartel. They are great horses but take a lot of time. There are sensitive but sensible is what a friend of mine and I have decided. She is extremely cold backed even at 7 but a worker! He is dependable but very capable of being silly as well. They do not take to having a beating unless it's been earned. I love both of mine but honestly if it wasn't for my friend/trainer they would never be where they are because they take time as does any young horse and I don't have time like they have required. They are naturals on the pattern really really athletic horses!! 

Absolutely LOVE mine ! Very quiet under saddle .. super smart & SO athletic!  Very friendly , loves people .. she is out of a runaway winner mare . She was running 1 d her 4 yo year with limited runs .. it was so easy for her. I love her so much I bought a breeding already to him for next year . 

I bred my mare to him and sold my colt. He was the friendliest guy and such a good looking sucker! The gal I sold him to absolutely adores him. 

I dont have a FSTV but my sister bought a 3YO red roan french streakin jess filly and I am in love. 

I could write a book.....

I've bought 3, but only kept 1.  The first I purchased was a weanling filly out of a Dashing Elvis mare.   This one had a Dr Jekyll Mr. Hyde personality.  She was dog gentle one minute and crazy the next.  She was buddy sour and I watched her run full tilt head on into a fence to try and join another group of horses.  I sold that one as a yearling because I needed one that was even tempered.  The next owner sold her as well because she was a handful.  She finally ended up with a woman that I heard didn't like her either at first but toughed it out and about the time this filly reached 5 yrs old she finally came around.

The second I bought was a 3 yr old filly out of a double bred Docs Lynx mare.  This one was started on barrels and poles so I figured she was solid enough mentally if she'd started training.  She was halfway across the country so she was purchased based upon videos of her riding.  When I went outside to meet the shipper, his trailer was rocking and something inside was screaming......kinda like the caged velociraptors from Jurassic Park.  I unloaded my new horse and she proceeded to run over the top of me and drag me everywhere all the while screaming and totally oblivious that I even existed.  She would cow kick you when you walked by her.  She'd bite when you'd brush her or tighten a cinch.  She'd try to kick and bite you when you entered her stall - I carried a shovel with me for protection.  She was buddy sour and would wheel up in the air and try to run back to the barn.  I was scared to take her to the barrel pattern which was a ways from the barn so I set up poles in a safer location and she swung her butt on the ends and went crashing over the top of the middle ones.  As it was, I was in the right place at the right time with her.  The barn where I was keeping her had a big guy that trained the roping horses.  I hired him for 8 months to ride her before I felt safe enough to get on.  Her name became PITA (acronym for Pain In The Ass).  Once she was safe, I put a handle on her and sent her to Joy Wargo.  She missed her 4 yr old futurity year while she was being made safe.  Joy went on and won a little on her and now I have her back to compete on.  If I hadn't had access to the roper who lined her out for me, I would have had to sell her.  She's coming 6 now and most of her issues have improved and I actually enjoy her and consider her a keeper.

My latest purchase was a 3 yr old filly with a handful of rides on her.  She was also extremely buddy sour and after what I'd been through with PITA, I wasn't up to going through it again.  I now live on a farm and have to ride out in the open.  This filly kept trying to dump me to get to the other horses and I no longer had access to the roper dude, so I sold her.  If this filly is like the others, she too will come around as she gets older.  I liked everything else about her but when being buddy sour becomes a safety issue, they can't stay.

I also have a French Streakin Jess 3 yr old and she wants to be good.  She is the polar opposite of the FSTVs.  I talked to someone familiar with both stallions and was told French Streakin Jess was a gentler soul than his brother.  My takeaway from the horses I've owned is that some of the FSTV horses (all of mine were fillies) do better mentally as they get older.

Sounds familar 

Neither one of mine are buddy sour! That's interesting! Infact my two go out together and play and then when I separate them they could care less. They are both very easy going. There personalities are very easy going and fun actually. 

I have a six year old  mare sired by French Streak to Vegas and out of a Dashing Elvis mare.  She was  2 when I bought her  ( she wasn't treated well) little watchy at the time. I love her now. Quiet, sweet and a lot of heart. Won close to $10,000. On her this year.  Never been buddy sour.

I had one that I enjoyed.  She is a 2018 model and I got her broke in June-July and gave her to a kid that I ride with to ride for me when I got her back from her 60 days.  The kids only horse had foundered over the summer and she had nothing to ride.  She's done a great job with her and really enjoys her.  I finally traded her to the girl for a Streaking Ta Fame prospect she bought that wasnt working out so that she would have another running horse in the future.  This mare was small framed and a bit stiff naturally, but very good minded and willing.  This one is FSTV x Jody O Toole x Fols Native.
