| Does he have any high $$$ earning, 1D offspring?
Would you say he crosses better on run, cow, or a mix of both?

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I would love to know a list of his offspring and their earnings since I have a son of his as well. Love my guy. I know there have been a handful out there competing from his first couple of foal crops. |

| I wouldn't say ours has won "big" money but he's won some and is super handy in a ton of different disciplines. Barrels, poles, queen reining patterns, 4-H events, moving cows, he can do it all. Our younger one is 3 coming 4 and slow cantering the barrels, can move cows, and be trick rode off of. My daughters are 12 and 8 so I'd say Dang Nice Horses!

Location: You never know where I will show up...... | A lot of them are rodeo horses so not a lot of official stats.
But Memories Afire won the Colorado Classic Futurity Breeders Incentive a few years ago. And there have been several other money earners especially at the northern futurities.
His oldest crop is relatively young, and not many of them have ended up with big name trainers. However with several coming up of age out of some pretty great proven barrel mares, including Lena May, Milliondollar Secret, Its Complicated, Three And Out, Three Tymes A Lady, & Frenchmans Moon Dash, the best ones are still coming up.
Hilary Van Gerpen is tearing it up at the AZ futurities on two geldings by Firewater Finale. One of which is a full brother to the one I ran and sold last year.
As far as marketability we sell ours privately as fast as they hit the ground. Sometimes we have a waiting list on some of our better mares. We have averaged over $6000 on our weanlings the last several years.
He's also got colts doing well roping, bulldogging, and mounted shooting. And they seem to fit a variety of riders from youth to professional level.

| I've seen quite a few and they are all impressive imo. Built well with good brains. I think because he is economical, there are more in the "normal world" of barrel racing. I have seen a few do really well at the MN futurities.
The breeder of my filly has her Dam booked to Firewater Finale and I cannot wait to see what they produce and may have already called dibs. |

Yep you will have no trouble with marketability. They have a great return on your investment. I have had offers 6x the stud fee and that was before he was even broke to ride. I took him off the market because I was afraid someone might tempt me. |
