Location: Dubach, LA | I'd say you should have enough speed and maybe the "hot" blood is far enough back that you will have a good mind too. |

| I've got an eight year old Streakin La Jolla son and he is lazy! Fast and talented but not an ounce of "hot" in him. Training him he had that, "I'm here for the party", type attitude and I thought, oh boy im in trouble. But he has turned out great. Not sure if Mr. Jess Perry produces the same attitude however. |

| I have an all race bred gelding that I bought off the track. Once I got him exposed to farm life (cows, dogs, birds flying out of bushes, etc.) he has been awesome. Lazy 99% of the time and so gentle. He has his moments but what horse doesn't. And that sucker can flat fly when I ask him to. But he still walks in flat footed on a loose rein and out the same way. |

Location: Heart of Texas | I have a grandget of Mr Jess Perry and First Down Dash. Shes done great. She can have her hot moments but she walks flat footed into the arena. She still doesn't like horses running up behind her but at least she doesn't try to kick them anymore lol. |

Location: Cocoa, Florida | Okay here's another question, how's her confirmation for barrel racing? I've had several people point out that she's very under at the knee and she ties in strange form back to wither. She looks fine boned but any race bred horse I've had have not had great bone or feet either

| She looks weak in the loin area but might be how she is standing/pic angle. And I'd check that back R leg, looks like an old injury? If she is priced right and seems to have a good mind I'd go for it :)

I can't tell if that back right leg is an injury or the camera, because the white on her front leg looked funny too |
