| I bought a 3 year old daughter of Smoke N Sparks a few years ago. She had a very inconsistent personality, sometimes agreeable and sometimes difficult. She took longer to teach than my other horses, and she was harder to bond with, not to mention she'd surprise you with an out of the blue random buck every now and then. I ended up selling her. I blame it on her quirk bump right below the eyes and her roany- gray color. She could of taken after her dam's side, because Smoke N Sparks has had some good ones I'm sure. I was just unlucky. |

| He is one that has to be crossed on just the right mare for it to work.
I've seen really great ones by him. I've also seen really nasty ones.
Would I breed to him. Sure if I had a great minded mare that I thought would really work on him. But I would be very picky at what I crossed him on.
Same for buying one of his get. It would have to be the right bloodlines.
From what I've seen, they are either spectacular, or they are counterfit SOB's with not a lot in the middle. |

| I'd love to see your foal. That's what I was thinking of crossing with him is a blk/white tobiano APHA mare as well. She looks nice! Thanks everyone who responded also! |

| Mine is quite dumb but she is 15 so I just ignore that and try to not pick at her. Idk how she was to train, she is the first one I have bought finished. She still acts like a 3 yo, prancing around/ being herd bound etc. I will say she is the most athletic thing I've ever rode. Can drag her butt and be folded in half around a barrel, super ratey. She is pushing 16 hands and turns sharper than my cow bred 14.2 hand mare. She is a grand daughter of rocket bar on the bottom. |

| I have raised and trained a stallion by sns that has been the best horse i or anyone else would ever want and he was a 1d barrel horse ,until he was injured and had to retire him at the same time he also produced several 1d barrel horses which all had his great mind and always wanted to please,over the years I had many different jockeys ride for me and they all loved the way my horses worked and how people freindly they are,buying a sns horse was the best thing I have done,and would do it again in a heart beat.don.t forget if the mares a witch the foals learn from there mothers,
