I like those papers, I see more I recognize further back but this horse should be athletic and quick.

I have always been the odd man out on this board about cow horses vs running bred. But I have also seen many cow horses win on a national level so I don't believe a horse has to be bred to run in order to be higher in the D's. Finding a true 1D caliber horse is next to impossible and such a gamble. But if you are looking for a horse with 2D/3D potential then I don't see why this horse shouldn't fit the bill especially if built right and broke nice.

My advice, find a horse that suits your needs and that works for you without too much emphasis on bloodlines. A lot of people have a hard time riding a running bred horse and their style is much more complimentary on a cow horse or vice versa. My current gelding is 2D/3D and is bred for western pleasure/hunt seat. But our styles and personalities work well together which matters more than anything.
