Location: Oklahoma | I have a FG crossed with a Mathas Six Moon gelding. I can't say enough good about him. He is sweet and the quickest learner. We sent him off to be broke and the guy called us after 20 rides trying to buy him. Mind you he is a reining horse trainer and my colt is not reining bred. He said 3 different clients tried to buy him. He told me to come get him as he did everything he asked of him in 20 rides. He never bucked. I was so excited!! If I could find more like him, I'd but in a heartbeat. |

I own two FG grandget. They're definately not the type of horse that will fit anybody. They're very sensitive & responsive. But they're also super gritty, work all day & give you everything they have type of horses. I love both of mine & would definately be willing to own more of them. Only mistake I made as far as FG bred horses are concerned is waiting so long to give one a try!!!
Agreed. We have a 9 year old FG grandson right now, he's quirky, has the mentality of a yearling stud colt but works his tail off for us, is double tough and has no quit in him, ready to go every day. He was too immature to make a barrel horse when he was younger and honestly he really wasn't worth the powder to blow him to hell until just a couple years ago. I'm glad he never made it to the futurity pen because we would have an idiot on our hands now probably. |

| If you don't like that they cloned... don't breed to a clone.. simple as that.
He has some very nice and very FAST offspring and I have nothing bad to say about him. I see so many people that blame a bad attitude, conformation, lack of speed etc on the stallion... but if you have a baby with a guy with blue eyes does that mean that your baby will get that from it's daddy? It takes two to tango. |

I WILL NOT breed to anything with FG in the bloodlines anymore. I do not support cloning one bit! Shame on Meyers for RUINING his legacy!
Wish you luck with that. |

Location: wolverton,mn | HotbearLVR - 2014-02-13 1:52 PM I owned a FG daughter and she just wasn't a very athletic horse....very stiff, hard to shape, etc... She was a pretty mare, but just didn't feel very athletic, etc... I sold her to someone who sold her to someone who uses her as a play day horse.
That being said, I wouldn't hesitate to own another, but my hands are already too full! If I had to choose one sire of a dream colt, it would be FG. In my book, he's the "Gold Standard". Besides, I love the fact that he's South Dakota boy. I love seeing people in the Midwest excell.
She was a granddaughter. |

Why would you write off everyone with FG bred horses on a choice that the Meyers made? I'm sure alot of people that stand sons of FG were disappointed about his cloning. I just don't see punishing everyone for one family's personal decision  |

| I know I would never breed to a clone, I just don't think it's a good idea to mess with mother nature. Several years ago I bought a granddaughter of Frenchmans Guy. She was just a weanling when I got her, but she turned out to be the best horse I've ever owned. Very smart, easy to train, fun to ride, and never even thought about bucking (I guess I got lucky and got a good one). I was so impressed that I bred her to a son of Frenchmans Guy. I ended up with a cremello colt, he will be 2 this spring. I'm leaving him a stud, he's super good minded and takes after his mother. I can't wait until he's old enough to start on barrels! |

What do you suppose are the chances they have some frozen popsicles stashed away? I was always going to ask Tigh and never got up the nerve for fear he would and then I wouldn't be able to have one of those little morsals. LOL |

Me too. He was nice, nice.
Here's a kicker, in the back of the Cutting Horse Chatter Magazine this month, someone has frozen semen on Freckles Playboy. Plain black and white ad. I wonder how much that would be? But, my question was - how do or would we know it was his? Did they have DNA back then if you did have the money to breed, how could you be sure it was his get? |

100% agree, we have two grandget from different sons of Sun Frost (a Sun Frost Wonder daughter and a PC Cashing In Frost) both are nice looking horses, SFW is a little quirky and flightly but I blame the Streakin Six on the dam side lol she's going to be a momma June then I'm getting her back into training and will season her next year, she is an absolute lover and will rest her head on you for hugs all day. The other my SO stole from me the minute he came off the trailer and has been the envy of the roping pen for a couple years now. He is also a lover but with walk his butt up to you and lean it into you until you start scratching, if you move, the buttocks follows lol.

Boy, that's a good question . You could probably call AQHA and they would know if he was DNA typed. Last year when we had Slim down at CSU I was talking with some lady who had bought 1 straw of frozen Chicks Beduino for 10k and was estatic her mare had just been pronouced in foal. I bet that if it is Freckles Playboy stuff is isn't cheap :) How long ago did he pass??
