Location: Wonderful Wyoming | Have only heard good things about him. He has a great sire and super old school dam line. If I ever get to ship semen I want to breed one of my mares to him. His owner is the neatest thing since sliced bread. |

| I don't think there has every been a bad thing said about him or his foals on here. I don't have any experience with him or his foals, but they all seem super cool and their owners all seem super happy with them. |

I don't think I'm missing anybody. They will all give honest opinions of them.

Location: NE Texas | I have two of them, a 3 YO grey filly out of a sprinting TB mare that ran out almost $100K and a 4 YO brown gelding out of a stakes producing daughter of Splash Bac. I will say that the El Scorcho babies have an outstanding disposition and are so easy to be around. The 3 YO had 30 days with Chase Shafer last year as a 2 YO and in the first 30 days of riding, he was hauling her to JR Rodeos running out steers and bulls on her. I hauled her with me to the barrel races all year last year and she was like hauling an old, seasoned rodeo horse. She'd eat an entire hay bag on the way to the barrel race, drink a full bucket of water, tie her to the trailer and you'd never know she was there. She's so easy to be around, very smart, and plenty athletic. I didn't ride her much last year after having her broke simply because she had done everything that had been asked of her and I wanted her to grow and mature. When I picked her up from Chase, we met at a barrel race. He rode her bareback in the parking lot, rode her around and loped circles on her in the warm up pen. She really deserves the opportunity to be a futurity horse, as she's plenty athletic, great minded, and wants to do everything right....unfortunately i'm unable to take off and go to the futurities, so unless someone comes along that can't live without her, she'll have to wait on me. She will be the grey horse in the pictures below. Here are the videos of the day I picked her up from Chase at the barrel race.

The brown 4 YO gelding is just as neat. He too is great minded and easy to be around. I hauled him with me as well last year toward the end of the year. Chase Shafer put 30 days on this colt as well last year, but he had to have a tooth extracted, so he's a little behind. He's my main project once the time changes. When Chase had him, he was riding him to work cows on in the pasture before he came home. He's a big, long strided colt and has plenty of speed. This colt is a big sweet guy and I can't wait to get back to riding him daily. He, too, wants to do things right, but isn't as physically mature as the grey filly. He's a little more sensitive than the grey filly in that if you have to correct him, he takes things very personally and almost gets his feelings hurt. The grey filly is just like ok, got it, let's doing something else wheras this colt is like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me. HAHA Here is the brown colt stretching out in the pasture. He can fly!

I'd take a pasture full of these Scorchos if I had the time to ride them all. I feel guilty because i'm behind on these two, but my other gelding that isn't a Scorcho is a diva and requires ALOT of riding and time, so it is what it is. If you want a nice youngster, don't look past the El Scorcho babies. They will make your life easy and you'll have a blast riding them!

Hungarian Midget Woman
Location: Midwest | I have a short yearling. I absolutely love him. He is super calm and takes everything in stride. I need to get some new pictures of him, but he's just a doll. He is very sensible and smart. Show him once and he has it. I've ponied him off my riding horse and he's great in the trailer. Heck, he rode from LA to IN with minimal stops at 3 1/2 months, and he ate and drank on the road plus hopped off the trailer and ate grain. Nothing bothers him. I can't wait to ride him.
Hes he's out of a daughter of First To Shine/oUt of a Pie in the Sky mare. |

Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | I guess the thing I would say here is come ride him......you, your grammy, your kid and the hip hop rapper he is listening to can ride Scorcho. He is 20 now, so not as fast as the young boys, but he will get you safely around the barrels (you just have to hold on). He throws a brain that is very teachable. He throws sense and a big ol butt AND LORD does he throw his personality. He has protected me plenty. Everyone has a favorite line. We are all different. Come sit on the man and decide for yourself :) |

Oh, we believe mating him with a goat will produce a unicorn. |

I saw him when he was at Southwest Stallion Station, he was not old back then but he was an old soul and a gentleman for sure. He was pretty much an afterthought there, not really promoted and not super popular but he was nice to look at and very kind. Makes me wish I would not have had to sell my LHDI daughter, I would have bred to him this year, still may if my RSE daughter does not sell. Not sure how he ended up where he is now but he is a very lucky boy for sure. |

Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | He's here if you want a breeding. He's everything to me. I don't know what I did to deserve him....seriously. I feel guilty sometimes that he's right outside.....like maybe I don't deserve him. He's been the next best thing to Fred to me for many years. I'd do anything for him :) |

Location: Midwest | I've seen him in person and ridden him when I visited lrqhs and picked up my colt. Scorcho's a total sweetheart and I love his build!
He is very willing and honestly you'd never know he was a stud if you saw him at a barrel race. He stood calm and quiet between two mares all day long. My colt reminds me of his daddy. Great disposition and just full of sense.
Plus, he produces speed and nice builds in his offspring. |
