Location: Over by those oil wells, TX | Hi, does anyone know of any successful barrel horses that are sons/daughters of either of these two? I guess it would be grandsons or grandaughters of Oak Tree Special. Thank you for any input. Also, any knowlege of their temperment or trainability? |

Location: ND | I've got a PM granddaughter but she's only a couple months old right now. So for now all I can say is that she's a gorgeous mover & has an awesome temperment. She literally just floats over the ground. Has tons of personality & just loves to be around people. Yesterday I decided to trim her feet for the first time....she was unhaltered, I had no help & she was just standing in the middle of the corral. Stood quietly for me to trim all 4 feet like she's had it done a million times. There isn't a thing I don't love about her at this point!

She sure sounds like a keeper!! Good luck with her & I hope you post more as time goes on. She must have a really good mind as a baby! |

Location: WI | I have a son of OTS, he ran AAA on the track. He's 6, I'm still working on consistency, but he has laid down some nice runs. Top 15 out of 230 riders at our NBHA state finals this year - also ran in the 2 and 3D at the same race, lol. That's where I'm working on the consistency.

Location: Over by those oil wells, TX | The photos are amazing! That baby has some incredible bone & so gorgeous! The OTS looks powerful! I do have a question if anyone knows.....do these horses get "hot" under pressure and is that why the OTS seems inconsistent? I've heard a rumor they get so massive as 5 year olds that turning & quick speed isn't as easy on them. Has anyone heard that?

I've heard a rumor they get so massive as 5 year olds that turning & quick speed isn't as easy on them. Has anyone heard that? He's not hot at all! He's just inconsistent because I need to haul him more. He missed 1/2 his futurity year due to injury and I hauled him prly 10 times this year.

Location: Royal J Performance Horses, AZ | I've got a daughter of Meter Me Gone ( panther mountains sire) and I have to say I love everything about her build, Solid 16hhs tall and she's as tall as she is wide!
She's a bit of a worry wwart being away from other horses, but she is attentive to her handler as long as you make your self "Known"
Here's her pedigree, she hasnt had any foals yet but i'm trying to decide how i want to cross her. either for barrels or for the track.

Location: Wyoming | I just got a son of PM he has great disposition, conformation and speed is easy to handle and we cannot wait to breed him to some of our mares next year. |

Location: Over by those oil wells, TX | I thought I was finished starting horses and running barrels but you all are making me excited to get the new one going and I can hope his personality is as good as those you have because I'm excited to have one horse and keep him instead of always feeling like I want to move toward the "next' one. I know I have to give it one more shot! |

Location: Texas | I love my Panther Mountain. She is out of Dash Ta Fame mare. Runs 1D times, Pro-rodeo money, and holds an arena record. :)
If you are looking for a Panther Mountain stud to breed to check out the Future Fortunes stud DMNV Mountable.

Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | I have seen Panther Mountain and OTS. They are both nice. I preferred Panther Mountain though. He is really gorgeous and well behaved. |

Location: Over by those oil wells, TX | The ones I'm seeing on here are so beautiful as well as performers so that's pretty exciting. Some are plenty wide so here's a question...do they seem to like turning a certain way even with the size? I like a horse that is rounded around a barrel & wondered if that is easy for these wider horses. Do they seem to catch on pretty quick? I've got a pen all ready & need to buy a new winter blanket now....supposed to be frigid this weekend! |

Location: western ND | I have a grandaughter of Panther Mountain (1/2 sibling of SaraJean's foal) and I have to agree the temperment is remarkable. She is very easy to work with. |
