| We had a lot of Fishers Dash's here in CO. To be honest, they didn't have a very good reputation. The Dash To Chivato's were much more trainable.
We actually bred to both and the Dash To Chivato was a lot more pleasant to be arond than the Fisher's Dash was. I would definately take the Fisher's Dash on a case by case basis and I wouldn't buy one sight unseen. I would have to spend some time with it before deciding. A lot of them are very high maintainence in the mind department. |

Location: Adopt a homeless pet - www.petfinder.com! | I have a broodmare by Fishers Dash, she was bred by Vessels. She's had four foals that won over $50k on the track. I'm planning on breeding her to Blazin Jetolena for a barrel prospect.. Someone has her 3 year old filly by First Comment for sale here on BHW. |

| I have a mare which is out of a Fishers Dash son. LOVE her! She is so nice!! Very trainable and wonderful to be around. She has wheels but is quiet enough for kids to ride and be around. She is out of a Bully Bullion daughter. |

This is exactly my point. The bottemside better be something that can tone down the fragile mind of FD.
Bully crosses very well on those types and you end up with a really nice horse.

Location: Over by those oil wells, TX | I loved my daughter of Fishers dash out of a daughter of Special Effort. I had her going in no time and she was so sweet at home, almost puppy dog personality. When she started hitting the 2D consistently I sold her to a local lady 20 years younger than me and she had her running in the 1D in a month. She acts a LOT higher with this lady but they lay down nice runs with some good wpra gals. I only faulted her for how high she got when she was horsing...which seemed like 2 weeks a month HARD. That's why I sold her...the only reason. **** mares...lol! Sweet and in your pocket otherwise and very fast and talented. She didn't like her first rodeo and bombed it....tooooo busy looking around!

| I personally really like Fishers Dash foals. I really like his daughters.
I will also say, you couldn't pay me to have a Dash to Chivato...I just flat dislike them.
To each their own LOL! |

Location: So. Cali. | I had an own son out of a daughter of Sticks An Stones. Purchased him as a coming 3yr old straight off the track. Big sweetheart, most easy going 3yr old I've swung a leg over. Took novice riders down the trail on him. Ponied my yearling colt for the first time down the trail on him. Would take him out in a halter. I owned him a year, patterned him a bit. He was on the sluggish side. He's currently with an up coming trainer and showing promise on the barrels, and he LOVES him and his personality.

Is there a certain cross that works well on his daughters?
Just take a look at the black type in the pedigree of FISHERS DASH ... it will cross and improve on about anything you can name ... the famous high powered runners in his overall pedigree is almost unbelievable!!
http://www.stallionesearch.com/prod46/FishersDash.htm
Most people are scared to death of the speed and the fast hard gathering the Beduino horses are famous for .... you have to be a good rider with fast reflexes and not nag them to death when they already know the pattern ..... go practice on your Shetland pony and go to the pay window by running one time at a barrel event with your FD bred horse ...
Streakin Six, Mr Jess Perry, La jolla horses or any mixture of bloodlines with DFP, FG, Biankus or FWF would be what I would look at .... do not do any cutting or reiner bloodlines ... the conformations are totally different ....
GOOD LUCK ... |
