| So, all the talk about 'fashionable' or 'name brand' bloodlines has me reminiscing...
What bloodlines were popular for running barrels in days of yore, in your area? Seems like before cooled transported semen, bloodlines stayed a lot more regional.
In my area, in the mid 80's, you were stepping in high cotton if you had a Flit Bar Beggar horse. A girl in KS had one she won all over with, Including at Josey's Junior World, and there were several others that were really nice in the northeast OK, Southeast Ks, southwest Mo and Northwest Ar area. I remember Night Bids and Cat Bids being nice horses. I remember a couple nice Me Quick Too horses. There were quite a few arena horses that went back to Go Man Go, Harlan, Bert and Oklahoma Star, of course back always in the pedigree.
So, who were the superstars in your area?

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | Easy Jet, Unikia, Starbert, Doc Bar up close, Flit Bar, Sugar Bars, Shawnee Bug, Otoes Wonder, Jet of Honor, Three Chicks.
I'm running one that is JOH/Flit Bar on top, out of a daughter of Apocalypse (paint) who was Doc Bar and Three Oh's bred, was a winner himself and produced quite a few. It's older breeding, and he's not name brand, but still nicely bred for barrels IMO. |

Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | One of my first horses was Sugar Bars on top and Red Miller on the bottom. She could flat out fly. She is really the horse that made me start to love speed. The Red Miller's were popular here and they were tough, gritty horses. |

Location: Buffalo, Wyoming | My grandpa owned this stud from the day he was born until the day he died at 34 years old. We crossed him on many mares in Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming and those colts were awesome. We had running bred mares that we bred him too and I still have one of his foals. She is 14 or 15 this year and is one catty fast little bugger.
We crossed him on a lot of Easy Jet and Merridoc bred mares and also a lot of cow bred mares. I ALWAYS look for this old style bred horses when I am looking. You can not beat their work ethic and heart.
