Flip the run and the cow and you're golden

So running on bottom and cow on top? I've found a few super nice cowbred stallions, but wanting something running for my grey when I decide to breed her |

| I love the run on cow. I have a dual pep granddaughter I crossed on Draws A Crowd and that colt is nice ! I'm going to cross her on Honors Abounding in the spring. I have a cow on run cross coming in the spring that is a proven 1-D cross. Old ranch lines on my AAA Hot Colours daughter |

Location: Royal J Performance Horses, AZ | From my experience and what i see, run and cow crosses seem to be harder to sell than Race X race and CowX Cow
from my personal opinion I dont see why they are NOT more sought after, they seem to have the best of both worlds, ESP if the cow is reined cow horse bred. Those suckers can boogie! |

Location: Central Texas | My best running mare was run on top and cow on bottom. She was the easiest horse I have ever ridden. As soon as she hit the open arena she was hunting the barrel. She could get down and boogie in the turns and she could stretch out between the barrels and coming home. I always look for this cross. I am currently running a running bred horse and although I love him to death he is much harder to ride and took him longer to season. That is not a common thing with running bred I am sure. My crosses have always felt more solid to me and that is just my opinion and certainly not fact. |

| You are dealing with two totally different horses that have specialized conformations ... so don't be surprised at getting less than you expected in speed or turning ability ... very seldom do you get a good mixture of both ... but you get a lop sided type of conformation that prevents horse from doing either ...
You cannot build a hotrod out of a Ford Pinto by adding a steering wheel or a big engine ... 
Someone mentioned this stallion BLAZIN JETOLENA ....>>>

Study the pedigree and you will see he is only 1/8th cutting bred (12.5%) and 87.5% running bred .... (Poco Lena could be considered the cutting bloodlines)

Location: the high desert | run / cow cross is the best of both worlds. You get the speed and the brains along with the bone and foot to last. "lop" sided conformation and the "in-ability" to be barrel horses... really?? Funny how Frenchmans guy is one of the leading barrel horse sires considering he is cow bred and a dash of race bred and is regularly crossed on race bred mares and continues to have winners... strange... |

Location: High heels in the air... | Doc Bar was a runner...I bred my Freckles Playboy mare to Slick By Design..She can fly I tell ya...I like the cross of cow/run. I like a horse that thinks..I don't want pure run...speed without brains doesn't fit everyone.. |

Location: NC | I would love to own a running x cow/working bred horse one day. Not sure if I prefer running on top or bottom since I have never had the combo either way before. I just can't never seem to find that sort of cross... :/ |

Location: Wherever the Army sends my husband | I'm a big fan of cow/run crosses. I currently have two with cow/ranch on top and run on bottom.
Edited to add I picked them both up real cheap.

Location: Canada | I love the cow/running lines on horses, not only do they have the smarts they also have a god given ability to turn a barrel and just fire out of it. I also like being able to take my barrel horses to sorting jackpots, and they work the cattle amazing. So they seem to me that they are a all-round kinda horse. They might not being winning the entire barrel race, but I love them to death for being so versatile in everything. |
