You get what you give Posts: 13030 Location: Texas	Specifically, say you have a run cow cross, sire is a son of first down dash, dam is where the cow is. I'm not talking about sun frost or FG because that's pretty established in my opinion as "barrel blood." What bloodlines are known to cross over from the reining, reined cow horse, cutting, etc world? Edited by casualdust07 2014-01-20 9:26 PM

Living on the edge of common sense Posts: 24139 Location: Carpenter, WY	I like to see power in the stride, length of stride, ability to check themselves and turn and a overall willing athlete. The older I get the more important attitude is :) This filly is only a little over a month old in this video, but if you freeze the video at different points you can see how she works with her rear end and has the long stride. She is quite a bit larger now and her bone is just exceptional, with a short, broad back and still floats across the ground. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bjz3IN7dMkU her pedigree http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/12+hooker Edited by teehaha 2014-01-20 9:17 PM

Georgia Peach Posts: 8338 Location: Georgia	Doc O'Lena's are working fools! You dont see many bad ones. I had been around them before, but now that I have one in my pasture, it makes me want a whole herd of them. As far as other bloodlines, I've noticed that Dual Pep horses can really scoot also. And they are usually good looking to boot!

Heeler Hoarder Posts: 2067	http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/dual+honey+target I have noticed Dual Pep lines to, I really like mine and always get comments on how nice she is. I crossed her on Draws A Crowd and that baby is 3yo and riding great. I have her booked to Honors Abounding this year.

Georgia Peach Posts: 8338 Location: Georgia	casualdust07 - 2014-01-20 10:44 PM what about smart chic o lena or any of his sons? I've heard that Smart Chic Olena's and Smart Little Lena's in general are some of the smartest horses you will ever sit on. (Hence the name I guess lol) I have never been around them personally, but I used to doing reining and those suckers were everywhere and winning. Edited by Runninbay 2014-01-20 9:49 PM

They are just a tad too catty for me :) We do have this one comming in the spring though that will double up on the Smart Little Lena and then we will rebreed the mare to Slim for another speed/cow cross http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/anns+smart+cat

Coyote Country Queen Posts: 5666	We used to have a daughter of Chic Please, who is by Smart Chic Olena. This mare went back to Doc O Lena 3 times. She was not very big, but she definitely made up for it in heart. She really wanted to move out, had good length of stride, and was very quick and catty. I personally like the Colonel Hotrodder lines. They seem to have more size and bone.

Witty Enough Posts: 2954 Location: CTX	So, I guess I have to exception to the rule then... this little mare will go in and give me a nice run, but she is by far the laziest horse I have been on in 2 decades!! Outside the race (yes she knows the difference, very smart!!) she will not move a muscle unless you really get after her.... lol, she is my turtle... Planning on breeding her to a stud with SI of 116.... maybe that will help... http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/peggy+sue+pistol

Poor Cracker Girl Posts: 12150 Location: Feeding mosquitos, FL	After being a straight race bred girl for years, I have fallen madly in love with my little cowbred 3yo: Young Gun, Nu Chex to Cash and Docs Prescription. He's smart, easy-going, willing, athletic if a touch lazy. He's almost too nice because I forget he's barely three and tend to hold him to a higher standard than the silly racebreds I've had in the past.

LOL. She said lazy like it was a good thing. I was like well, add some run in the mix and maybe this one won't be lazy!
