Location: The South | What is a stereotype that you hear or think of when you hear about a certain line?
For example, Peppy San Badger's are buckers, but really smart. Dash for Cash's are hot hot hot!
------------------------------------------
Now this is just a thread for some fun. It's raining forever here in South Arkansas and Northern Louisiana... Most of our shows are cancelled for the weekend... So let's just have a fun chat. Let's not get panties in a wad okay?
I'd really like to hear about Dash Ta Fame's and Shawne Bugs as I'm crossing those lines this spring. |

| Dash Ta Fame's are idiots with lots of speed. Hot Hot Hot.
Mr Jess Perry's are gorgeous, fast, but wicked attitudes. I've never seen an ugly MJP, nor have I met one with a nice personality.
Firewater Flits are very user friendly, athletic, and have good heads on them. |

| Proudest Efforts are crazy fast, but impossibly hot and hard to train. |

Hancock mares are cranky and we've all heard about explosive Impressive horses. |

| Had a Special Effort gelding, super nice temperament, in your pocket type of personality. Easy to train but he wasn't a trail horse by any means. He was all work in the arena but a nervous wreak trail riding. I could take him to a professional rodeo and he wouldn't bat an eye at anything (i.e. bulls, noises, etc) but if a bunny jumped out while on a trail he would spook.
I heard of Firewater Flits being the "go to" breed when training. |

Funny you say that, I've had several Special Efforts that were all the same way. They had phenomenal personalities but scared of their shadows unless they were making a run. |

Location: Pacific Northwest | I've heard Hancock, Music Mount, and Impressive are known for bucking. Unfortunately I know 3 horses that support the stereotype haaha. But they were all hard workers with puppy dog personalities on the ground.

Definitely heard this one! I did have an ApHC Hancock gelding once though that was the absolute best little youth rode mount. There are exceptions to every rule! But the bucking Hancock is definitely a rule! |

My special effort gelding is a putz and nothing phases him. He will make a good kids horse. Based off how he is built tho, he's one where you "breed the best to the best and hope for the best" but hoping wasnt enough..he's rather sorry looking :)

We have a Calyx grand daughter and she is the sweetest thing also. Topsails Reinmaker's have a ton of run, huge ego's but sensitive and a work ethic as big as Texas. They are all like this. Awsome horses. Our Firewaterontherocks is very sweet and kind and very easy. Everything with him is okey dokey and he takes training very well. He's a no drama kind of guy. |

We have 2 full brothers that are Hancock bred. They are huge boys and rarely get ridden but are so gentle. If you are working in the pasture, you have to lock them up or they will harass you for attention. Sweet, sweet boys. I don't think either has ever bucked. |
