| I know I didn't see the original post but I have gathered enough to see whats going on.
There's this girl I know, she didn't have a lot of positive in her life, and at one point when things got bad she wanted out. She didn't go through with her plans, she just did away with those negative people, even if that was her own family. She had to make her own horses, and studied hard about how to be the best rider. She didn't have anyone to "train" her, but God gave her good horses to teach her along the way. Tragedy happen to the first horse she raised, and was winning Texas Circuit Rodeos, then one summer, that horse fell victim of west nile. She struggled, but finally was blessed with two nice finished horses, one registered, one grade.. Those horses along with hard work got her a rodeo scholarship..... Then what happened, some more bad, a wreck with one horse, then a wreck by herself.... lost the scholarship cause no horse to ride at that level anymore... So she sat down and said what are your goals? To not only win, but to be the best on the pro circuit, and produce great horses. So she decided to sell the one horse she still could compete on and bought a young stallion, who wasn't trained, heck wasn't even broke, but said I have to finish college first. So she trained for 3 years this stallion who was a 14.2 little guy, he had heart,,mind, ability, conformation, but he's bloodlines were good typical cow lines every QH has. Alot of the greats off the papers or goes back to... Then she finished college got a job, and started hauling him, he got hurt, a couple times, playing in the pasture..... So finally two years, a total of 5 years she is finally competing, foals are on the ground, and she is building a broodmare band up. Her stallion is doing terrific handle everything she throws at him like he has seen it 1,000 times. The best horse she has ever swung her leg around...
Yes this is my story, I had to work my tail off, and persevere through a lot. I believe that God allows things to happen for a reason when it is the time for it to happen. Now, you can afford the horse you want, and guess what he does't have to have those "lines",.... here's a little secret the horse makes the bloodlines, the bloodlines don't make the horse. I am with y'all on the prices of breeding that's where I don't want to ever charge ridiculous amounts for breeding, even when we win the NFR one day. I know there are mares out there who are built right and proven, that are not Own Daughters of , that will make a great cross.
Everyday a champion is born, heck it could be the guy next's door trail riding horse, or an oopsiedaisey that someone wants to get rid of. The point is stay positive, set goals, work hard, and COWGIRL UP!

Location: North Central Iowa Land of white frozen grass |  There are some horses out there that just don't have the money behind them to become a great proven horse. My daughters had good horses but I was not going to put the family business at a financal risk just to put them out on the road. If your not trying to make a name for yourself or trying to be a trainer or horse jockie you don't have to have the designer pedigree's. | |
