  That's White "Man" to You

| Since RHW has virtually no activity, I will try this here. Have any of you ridden a son or daughter of either of these two stallions? Have any of you seen these two stallions in person?
BTW I'm sure RHW would appreciate a visit from you! |

| ksjackofalltrades - 2016-08-08 2:20 PM I have seen Sixes Pick and bred to him. I had already decided to breed to him when I saw him or I wouldn't have bred to him. My colt was just a horse and he was out of a super nice mare.
What was it you disliked? He looks like he is about 14.3 H in the video. I'm looking for some real solid info here. He averaged over $24K at the Return to the Remuda sale last year. By far outselling the rest of them. |

| I wondered last year why those colts out-sold others by so much at that sale. I thought it might have something to do with "Tres" selling at the same sale and people wanting that same line to make one as good as him.
The highest sellers were rode by the Burson boys and they sure can make a nice horse.
I've seen both stallions in person in when I worked the sale one year, but they didnt have near the following or foals on the ground then. Looking at them in person, PIW would always be my pick, but obviously sale results say different. |

Yeah the paddys only averaged $7000 on the 4 that sold. I do think that Tres impacted the results. Horses with that much coverage always do. The Sixes babies were all out of pretty nice mares also. So I don't think the sale results are a "tell all". That being said, I really liked the way all the sixes babies looked in the cataloge as well. I'm hoping to find someone that is riding some of them. |

Location: Minnesota | I had a daughter of PIW and you couldnt pay me to own another. If you didn't lope that horse for an hour+ per day she would pitch you 8 ft in the air and wouldn't quit until she was dog tired. She would literally snap in half. If you gave her a day off it was like her brain didnt work right. I have heard this about a few others as well. I don't like their minds. |

How old was she?
What is her registered name?
I've heard this before but I'm usually unable to verify the information. |

| It would seem the Whiskeys are more trendy right now. Sixes Picks will alledgedly buck as well in some cases but who knows. I believe he also isn't clear on a five panel?
PIW is much nearer the end of his career than the Pick sire and seems to have more of a trend going his way at the moment. I rode a Sixes Pick briefly last spring. Nice mare but but not a standout in the time I had her.
Sometimes comparing to the top end sales is fun to dream about but not reality. They sold a few of the Pick colts for super high money but around that time some went through other sales for very little. The marketing , reputation,etc behind those top end sales is hard to compare too. Probably not a great barometer. Compare to all the ASOF colts that hit the classifieds after fultons sale and sat forever. Its just a different deal. |

PIW all the way.
Rode a son a few times in college at breakaway jackpots. I got to borrow him from a friend. I will have one of my own some day.
ETA - This was an older (9 years old as I recall) PIW who was not a baby and had been used as a ranch horse for several years before hitting the pen. To be fair, I think you either mesh with them or you don't; similar to the Judge Cash horses, they need a job and to be USED.

| Just from what I know I would go with PIW for roping. I don't have any experience with the other stud. |

Location: Lost in Texas | I was riding horses for a couple ropers and he had a son of PIW that came from the best of the remuda sale as a 2yo... He threw the owner, he threw another guy and I rode him for a month before he gave me the ride of my life. You couldn't pay me to own one after that experience and hearing the same from several different people. He was pretty nice to ride the month before that...as long as you rode him everyday, but super watchy colt. I don't think he ever made it to the roping pen.

Location: In a happy place | There is not enough money in the world to get me to ride another PIW. I bought one from the Sixes that was the colt from hell. He was absolutely untrainable. And could sure enough buck a good cowboy off. Good looking but that is all I could say good about him. Then a friend of mine took on four to break for a lady and I can tell you she won't get near another one either. I have pictures that we took of me with PIW. He is a good looking bay, well put together. I would say he is about 14.2. |

Its true that he is a Hereda Carrier. And I agree 100% with sale results, not a great measure but sometimes the best we have available. |
