| I have seen a lot of people downing frenchmans guy horses and saying they don't want to look at any frenchmans bred horses. I'm curious why, I know it's personal opinion. What are the cons of the breeding and why would you not buy a prospect frenchmans guy bred? |

Location: You never know where I will show up...... | Well I love mine and the fact that he was cloned won't keep me from buying them or breeding to him. I've got a son and daughter both and they are so nice. I've got a FG baby due the end of March and theres a contract for this year for FG on the good DTF daughter I futuritied in 2012. They still sell well so i
dont guess everyone is downing them.  |

Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | The only thing that would deter me from a Frenchman's Guy would be if I were looking for another stallion prospect. I probably wouldn't want a son of his, because there are just so many out there. I'd love to have one for riding though and wouldn't mind crossing a daughter on Scorcho. |

and just plain pricky. It's a mind game for everything and they have the will to out last ya. Gotta start young with them, before they get a stubborn mind of their own. But then again all the good ones always have a cork or 2 or 3, LOL!!!

I agree that people would see that. I've seen a couple that were "touchy" like that.
Extremely smart horses usually don't do well with the general public and get a bad rep as "crazy" or "touchy". The thing about it is in the right hands, those same horses are usually phenomenal performers.
We've got a FG grandaughter. She does require special handling but she's a pocket pony and will try her heart out for you and has athleticism to boot. I'd take another. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | 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. |

This is what I had heard also as a reason someone wouldnt be interested in one. Hot minded and easily blown. Id say it depends what theyre crossed on for sure. |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | They need a job. I really believe it comes from the Docs Jack Frost, I've had plenty of those over the years. I love them to death. In this part of the country a horse has to be tough and these horses will go all day long and work their tail off. I guess for every one person that is sceered to ride one there's 5 more people that will snatch one up in a heartbeat. |

Location: ND | 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!!!
