what are everyone’s opinions on A Streak Of Fling horses? the good, the bad and the ugly 

I have a 3 year old that might be one of the nicest colts you’ll see. He’s at the trainer now. The trainer said he’s scary smart...like insanely smart. You show him something twice and he’s got it. The bad about that is that he is easily bored. He has a huge personality. I adore him.

SKM...I ADORE HIM TOO, WOWZAAA

I’ve gotten opinions where people love them, and some where people really don’t care too much for them. there was really no inbetween. a few people mentioned them being slow to mature mentally, and hard to get along with. I am just curious. I know every horse is different, I just want to do some research before I commit to something. 

I have a yearling by the Fulton’s jr sire, A Dash Ta Streak. He’s the coolest colt I’ve ever had. He has a ton of bone and substance and the best mind you could ever hope for. My kids have been riding him bareback around the pen since he was just a couple months old. Weaned himself at three months and at 16 months is a solid 15 hds. We wouldn’t trade him for the world. Pictured here at just barely 12 mos. 

I think it depends on what the bottom is. I have no idea if all are like mine as far as brains go, or if mine isn’t the average. His full brother is equally as smart.

mine could be considered hard to get along with since he is so smart and doesn’t forget. It doesn’t allow you to be stupid and make a mistake with him. He definitely isn’t late to mature mentally. Mine was born seasoned. The trainer said he’s never seen a horse as brave as Naughty is. The trainer shows ranch horse versatility and he’s been on a LOT of horses over the years.

I had one I didn't think that much of and one I love.  They arent for everybody.  

We have a daughter that is a nice nice mare. We bred her to our Voo Doo Stud so her foals are A Streak Of Fling, On The Money Red & double bred Sun Frost. They are grandget of ASOF but they are all carbon copies. Very Very smart, athletic and quick. The only complaint we have heard about them is they are so fast they will get out from under you

This is A Streak Of Mojo she is a 5 yr old by this cross. Ali Kate & Streaka took 4th in the 1D with a 14.880 in the NBHA youth finals.

My experience is that they are not easy going. If you don't have ample time I don't suggest. Tendencies to be immature on the ground, pushy, above average reactive. However they've all been *very* talented. They need a handle on them, and early lol.

As someone who works full time I won't have another. JMO.

I own Streakin Joesy-- who is a full sister to Streakin Boon Dox just two years younger.  I bought her has a 2 year old out of the Fulton Sale. I love her. If I had a dollar for everytime I hear how beautiful or stunning she is I would be rich!  She does well for me localling and at the regional rodeos circuits.  She is has made the same run for years. Very easy to be around on the ground and riding. She has great manners. I suppose it does depend on how you work with your horses... but I think she is a very fun, enjoyable, talented horse....

I've owned 2 daughters and 1 son.  All were easy to be around both on the ground and in the saddle.  I was surprised when I heard everyone criticize the ASOFs because mine were so good.

I think the bar none joe makes the ASOF!  Mine is out of a daughter of Bar none joe.  We call her Squaw because of the great Crow River Sioux who is her grand-dam.

I’ve had 2! Sold both of them! The one I bought as a two year old. Found out she bucked so bad hence why she went through the auction. Got her out of the bucking but had still had attitude so down the road she went. My second I raised out of my rodeo mare. She got the nickname Satin! She was literally the devils child. Would rather fight you to the death then give an inch. She ran off with me in the pasture when she was 5, out of the blue, ran herself off a 12 foot cliff. Thankfully I’m ok but she hit the road soon after. Not getting anything ever with ASOF in papers. Lol Good luck!

LOVE our ASOF daughter.  She is the 1st horse that I ever let the Child Gone Wild compete on prior to me ever competing on her.  The duo won over $1k their first weekend out and when I am allowed to steal her. . she has put me in the money also.  She is just a natural.  She has her quirks and I do not believe everyone is going to fit them, but I always keep my eye out for another one.  

Theres some really beautiful horses on this thread 

I have a 2yo ASOF son out of a FG/Shawnee Bug mare. I absolutely love him so far, but he was a HANDFUL when I got him last January. I had read where people either seemed to love or hate the ASOFs, and I was a little worried I was going to be in the second category during the first 2 weeks of owning him. He would rear while I walked him, set back when tied, paw holes to China, spook at everything... just a handful. He spent many hours tied out, and it didn’t do much until he set back one day and then reared up and forward and bonked his head on a good sized tree limb overhead. I swear it knocked some sense into him bc he has been an angel ever since. ????‍?? 

I started him in June. He bucked on the first saddling, but not since that. He is also a tad on the lazy side, but as he is maturing he’s growing out of that. He is super eager to please, sweet, soft, and smart as a whip. He has really impressed me, and weaseled his way to a special place in my heart. My only advice if you get one like him is to be firm yet fair, and always try to end with them on a positive. I definitely don’t think that they are for everyone, but I am a big fan of the one I have now. 

I agree with whiteboy, that is a cross I would definietely be interested in but I have heard they arent super user friendly. 

Emily Efurd has one out of Fantasia Fame.  He is the most amazing horse I have ever watched.  He is wicked on barrels, rider error... no problem they work anyway.   Streak of Flings are hard headed but I like that, just because when they get it, they get it.  Love them

I was told by a few trainers that they buck to high heaven. So I sent mine off to a trainer for 6 months. She still had some buck in her when she got back but she was easy to train on the barrels. She is so sweet, wants to try but on her own terms. I did a lot of ground work with her as a baby so I think that helped. She is so fun to ride and she too gets loads of compliments on her looks! If I got another ASOF, I'd make sure a lot of ground work was established. They are amazing!
