Is my boys pedigree. Love this horse. Though, I did take longer to really start running him cuz I could see he had a young mind. Which I didn't mind, wasn't in a hurry. But he is such a nice horse with how he moves and turns... training him was just a walk in the park...and he can fly! His dam runs at the races around here, and she is pretty much the same. Never once have I seen her get excited or hot headed. Makes the same 1D run every time...and sweet as can be! |

Location: Weatherford, Texas | LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I had an own son. Dumb as a box of rocks but once he learned it he was golden. His first time to ever be entered as a 4 year old was at a rodeo in the perf. He did great. Calm cool collected. I sold him and he ended up with a kid. Now I have been giving some lessons to a girl that just got started riding and she was able to purchase him. He needed one time of me getting him far enough in the turn and his shoulder up (after a kid riding him for 5 years) and he was back exactly how I stepped off him when I sold him. The girl that has him now loves him and is placing at the HS rodeos on him with him just loping. Crazy fast but smooth and easy to ride. Run him in an o ring.
He is dumb, but once he learned things he was great. He got ear shy for a bit and tried to become a set back horse but one week with my homemade no set back device and he is golden since.
He is MEO x daughter of First Down Dash out of Merridoc mare.
If I could have 100 of him I would in a heart beat.
** Note- all the ones I have seen (including him) when you were training went through a head shaking phase when you would pull to turn them. He got thru it, but I used more leg to guide him and a light bit and he is fine. With more bit he will still shake his head. But he will flat stop mid run in an o ring so no need for more. |

Location: White Mountains of AZ | That's how my boy is...super light. I ride him in an O-ring for trails and ranch work, and a wonder gag bit for running. I love my horses light and soft!. And my boys dam is run in a wonder bit as well. Just love it! |

Location: out in Oklahoma | I have an own daughter of MEO out of an Easily Smashed mare and I LOVE her! She can be a pill and isn't one that I would dare pick a fight with but she learns fast and is willing. I have just recently started her on the pattern and am taking it very slowly. The people who had rode her before me did not care for her at all and said she was too silly but she has been nothing but a sweetheart in the time that I have had her. I guess like anything, its a personal preference thing |

That's how my boy was as a 2-3 yr old...I had some nice abs and legs from trying to get him to trot...heaven forbid lope!!! :) but as soon as he realized he needed to get his butt in gear, it doesn't take a whole lot now haha |

Yes, my MEO granddaughter, was very laid back and easy going as a 3/4 yr old.....now as a 4 yr old, she is really coming on nice, lots of go,.....they just need time to develop. |
