| What are your favorite bloodlines and what do you like about them so much? What are some really user friendly lines? |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | Ones I have had experience around and love (because I don't do anything that is not user friendly) are Burrs First Down, Ivory James, Guys Piece Ofthe Pie, Stoli, Coronas Leaving You. All are very easy to be around, have people pleasing attitudes, and good work ethics. |

| Thank you guys! I can't find any sun frost in my area ever for what I can afford lol but will keep looking! I am afraid of blue valentine and driftwood lol I have heard Valentines are spooky and watchy and that's one of the biggest issues with my current horse, too busy watching everything to work! And driftwoods I have heard are terrible to start but then generally nice. I do know one mare that is said to be driftwood but has no papers to prove it and I do love her aside from her head and neck which are not too pretty lol |

Location: Kentucky | LHDI. Smart, sweet, laid-back but will turn on the heat in the arena. They are diverse - work cows and run barrels the same day. Not hot, don't get worked up, but I don't want to pick on one either. They have a tendency to have big heads, but I don't mind it so much - gives them character. They are pretty under-rated, but they are getting noticed now with some of the NFR gals riding them. I love that I have found this line. Fits me perfectly. |

This is a picture of our Blue Valentine/Hancock/Driftwood 3 year old. Her first time ever sat on and she fell asleep. I love the work ethic of the foundation horses and my program is heavy in regards to that. The horse in my avatar is over 20% Driftwood. My one filly pictured is from Cross Spur, and our other mare is Driftwood/Sun Frost.

Also, just so you know. Sun Frost is Driftwood bred, so your statement truly contradicts itself. |

| I have two smart little lena bred mares that I adore. I have always loved the cattiness of the cow bred horses, but these two are just a pure pleasure. I think I will always want whatever horse to be cow/race crossed. |

Oh yes, I don't know how I left out Firewater Finale. Hoping to get some more rides on my colt this week. 50's and sunny here in WY. That is like Heaven to us that are used to being knee deep in snow.

Location: Northwest Florida | I may be alone here because I know they can be quirky little handfuls - but I love an OTMR bred horse. All the ones I've ridden have just been powerful free runners that once they learn their job, they want to left alone to work.. Rearin' to go in the alley way and never let up through the pattern. My own son of OTMR, out of a Go Man Go dam was one of the best horses I ever owned. |

Location: MN | Love my Top Moon and Poco Bueno bred horses. Id have to say the horse i have now (in my avatar), is my 3rd once in a lifetime horse after my other 2 were tragically hit and killed, both by the same truck, at the same time. He has a heart of GOLD and id take a pasture full of him if i could! He goes back to Doc Olena on the bottom and Leo on the sire side.
Id say my Top Moon/Leo/Doc Olena horses were/ARE the most user friendly. My Poco Bueno was a little hard headed and hard to figure out at first.

I wish I had loved my own son of OTMR that I had. He was huge and gorgeous to boot! But WOW. One of the most hard headed most slow learning, stubborn horses Ive ever had! Sometimes I wish i had kept him longer just to see how he wouldve turned out. I do wish i knew where he was today!
