I hate forums, people with too much time on their hands,

and yet here you are.



and so are you. Nasty comments like the "726" is not needed regarding someone's business. I think it is terrible to try to bring a business down before it even has a chance to be started. Why don't you wait and see and let his get speak for themselves before you do it for them.

I'm invested.

Disclaimer right off the bat: I have two beautiful Slick by Design weanlings that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.

Each and every person in this business has their own opinion as well as a CHOICE in who they breed their mares too. It is quite evident that there is a significant interest in Slick from all aspects of the horse industry.

I dont have a mare that has 100,000 in earnings and has been to the NFR, but I still feel that I have super mare power backed behind the two weanlings that I have on the ground this year.

It is very easy for people to judge and degrade pricing and the number of mares that are being bred every year. Dash Ta Fame did not become popular and produce winners by breeding 30 mares a year? Being an everyday working class citizen that enjoys having well bred and proven horses/colts, it is nice to be able to breed to a stallion that has 1. ran the FASTEST time of any stallion at the NFR 2. LTE over 300,000 3. Is the most well mannered and kind individual I have ever had the privelage to spend significant time around. 4. Is promoted by a class act facility that respects their horse and program enough to offer such an outstanding individual at an affordable rate.

His fee could have easily been $3500(based on his statistics alone) and he would have probably made more money for them. The ordinary horse enthusiast would likely not have been able to afford to breed to him though.

Of course, there is no way to know if he is a producer or not as he has not had a chance to prove himself. But I can guarantee one thing is true, I have not had one second thought about breeding two quality mares to this amazing stallion. Was it cheap in the end? Heck no. But was it worth it? Absolutely. Will I breed back to him? Absoutely.

We all have a choice, if you dont agree with it, or you dont like it- the solution is simple. Go find a stallion that fits your program and the price that you are willing to pay and be satisfied. Everyone has a choice of how they run their program- no reason to portray negativity on anyones concept of promoting their stallion or horse.

Wow!!! This thread kind of took a turn! I was simply asking questions from a business standpoint. I by no means wanted to encourage negativity in any way and feel grateful that many of us have to opportunity to breed to such a champion when in many cases we would never be able to. I think the owners obviously know what they are doing... Look at the success they have in many different areas of the horse industries.

I don't think anyone has questioned whether or not Slick was a nice horse. He very clearly is. Some have said they may wait to breed to him until he is as proven as a producer as he clearly has done as a performer. As far as value like the OP was asking, some of that depends but there haven't been many Slick babies for sale so there is not a consistent gauge yet. Every year the market changes. Those of us who watch the market you bet will be watching to see how his get do both in terms of sales and in terms of performance. Most of what I breed I sale so this is of concern to me.

Better performance records produces greater interest in his offspring and greater interest in making his bloodlines part of our breeding programs too. I have said and will say again. I have an interest in breeding to Slick likely for a broodmare prospect. I can afford to wait until his produce have a little more in the way of a record, even if his fee goes up. He is certainly a beautiful animal.

I picked Slick because I've watched him since he was a late 3YO exhibitioning at the local stuff I was at. Then when he started running futurities, he let everyone know what kind of competitor he was. I was at Magnolia when Jennifer Sharp broke the arena record on him.. Was at ANHA when Kim pretty much swept the race, Watched him at the Wrapn3 Futurity running the only sub 15 times of the whole weekend including the open.. Kept up with him when Jennifer and he won the world, and have not stopped watching him the whole time Michelle has pro rodeoed on him. Pretty much, he's held up to every possible level of competition I would want to ever shoot for some day.

I want one of my own, LOL. It will be HARD to sell mine when it gets here!

BARRELHORSE USA - 2015-04-30 4:27 AM Most shy away from Beduino horses because they are scared to death of their speed and hard gathering away from a barrel .... Most of the bad actor stories are from people that have never owned one .. when pressed I have never got anyone to name the bad actor Beduino horse they claimed they owned ... and then in the next sentence they name a Beduino bred stallion they just love .. If you want to add some speed, cut the time off the clock and have a sweet hard working oriented barrel horse ... buy one as close to Beduino as you can ... if they were bad actors .. they would not be so successful on the track!!

My back is the way it is because those Beduino's left the gate! I loved the few that I had crossed on a Leonard Milligan mare and a Doc Quixotte. Kelly Allen crossed one in similiar fashion and it was nice as well.

Back to Slick, he is quality...I would run a nice minded mare up under him however. As I have my reasons - DR studs and fillies they can be head strong. So make sure the minds are going to be able to think while in fast mode.  

I had the pleasure to exercise a stud while at Bandera Downs, I could ride him to the creek behind the track and pony a gelding and swim them for their "off days" exercise.

He was so much fun to watch!  Ms Allene would talk on and on about what a special horse Slick was and how happy she was to see him and Kim accomplish all they did.

I think it is hilarious to hear people say .. I am going to wait until SLICK BY DESIGN is a producer!! ...

How old are you going to be in 8-15 years and
then by the time you finally get you a foal on the ground you have another 8-15 years to find out if your mare could produce anything worth while ...
and then if you have a stallion it is going to take another 8-15 years for him to "prove" himself .....

gonna be a bunch of old wore out nursing home barrel racers trying to ride some fast colts in the next 15-30-45 years ... I hope I am still around so I can start a youtube series of nursing home wheelchair barrel races ... lol

I am so happy to see SLICK BY DESIGN accomplish what he has in such a professional all business work ethic in such a short time!!

His sire is ON THE MONEY RED and is the #3 all time leading sires of money earners and his sire DESIGNER RED is still alive and breeding in Brazil and is #11 .. out of the top 20 sires in barrel racing history ... What more could you want in a stallion??

ENJOY THE STORY OF ... ON THE MONEY RED ... and DESIGNER RED ... while we are watching their great accomplishments of their son and grandson SLICK BY DESIGN!!
http://americashorsedaily.com/on-the-money-red/#.VUUOeth0xwE

I admire the owners of SBD in keeping his fee down to where he is affordable .. but if you are an old retired coot like me ... you have to say your prayers and hope for a phone call that you have won the drawing by his generous owners of a free breeding!!.. lol

My mare is hopefully getting bred again this week. She took on first try but slipped between 15-25. Not his fault at all. For some reason she's not relaxing her cervix in-between cycles so she's not expelling much out of her uterus so she's getting infections. So we cleaned her out again, made 100000% sure she has a clean culture, we're short cycling next week and post breeding lavages after that. And regumate. LOL. Darn mare!

I had to wait 10 years to breed to DTF. I'm doing that this year. In 8 years I won't even be 40. 8 years after that I'll be in my mid 40s. Think I can wait AND afford it.

I think there is alot of truth in that.


I've got my eye on a stud that is only 3 but can't wait to breed too because I know I won't be able to afford him in a few years.

I personally love some beduino horses but I have seen ones that just cannot take pressure and its the pressure part futurity ppl will shy from...

I know not everyone does futurities but anytime you talk about the value of young horses I feel like your target audience is futurity pplΒ 

I don't care for the Mr Eye Opener bred horses, had one that would work amazing at home but take him to a show and he'd be like "squirrel"! Β He finally settled out and made a decent rodeo/jackpot mount for his owner around the age of 8.Β 

I have seen so many beautiful, big Beduino horses but I have also heard horrible things about them. It definetely shys me away. From the different things I am told, they are very fragile minded and hot. Some people this isnt a deal breaker and some people love hot horses. I am not one of them.

This made me chuckle. My gelding that I am running right now, that I love to absolute pieces and would never sell for a million dollars..... Is by MEO out of a Beduino/Streakin Six mare. I wonder what this says about myself? lol

He is a TALENTED horse, unGodly fast, and quirky doesn't even begin to describe his personality. He's also mine, and I love him, and we get along perfectly.
