Location: Alberta, Canada | I think she's cute!
And for the record -- our colts are usually on the smaller side too. I dont personally agree with feeding them up so they go through their yearling, two year old and three year old years looking 'behind'. it used to bother me alot but by the times they are 4 or 5, they have caught up and you can't tell they were ever behind. Likely she will catch up... and there are alot of badly conformed horses that can smoke the pretty ones... My futurity horse this year is toed in terribly on her front end. She still runs like snot :)
I agree with the majority. Halter break, register... then go from there. |

Location: NE Texas | Can't tell much from the second picture but in the first picture she looks pretty cute to me. A little downhill, but what baby isn't at some point? I think you should just go on and make a horse out of her. Don't worry about what she is or isn't as far as what she looks like and go make the history books! |

| scwebster - 2015-02-05 11:13 AM brlraceaddict - 2015-02-05 11:44 AM I like the breeding and I would register this foal. If it's any consolation, this is my ugly duckling (of an intentional breeding). And I should add here that the foal picture is about 6 hours after he was born.
Very nice looking horse! Thank you for sharing :)
Thank you, and for what it's worth, I don't see what is not to like about that filly of yours. Almost all of them go through awkward stages growing up. I'd give her a chance to see what she can become. |

Location: Gainesville, TX | I agree with everyone else. Register her and halterbreak her at least. She has a decent using horse pedigree. She might even make a nice barrel horse. I don't think Louie has a name brand pedigree and he certainly can turn a set. Many of them are awkward at that age (we've had a couple), especially if they are going to be reasonably tall. Give her time. |

Location: So. California | I actually like the dams pedigree. Lots of good "old blood" there.
Register her and give her a chance. She'll be worth more with papers anyway.

I think she is a decent looking horse. Like others have said, I would halter break her, register her and get her going. She isn't far behind. If its any consolation, I have a big beautiful buckskin gelding that I've owned since he was 5 (20 now). Years ago we met the man who bred him and he informed us that he had to keep him in the very back pasture out of sight when he was a colt because he was so small and ugly. I honestly couldn't even imagine. No he did not get registered, but he is the best horse I have and probably the best in will ever own.

Location: on my horse | Hell I would buy her no problem. I really like the way she's bred, but I prefer a horse with some foundation type blood and a little bit of run. If you want her off your hands you can come visit the beautiful state of Idaho and bring her along 
She's definitely worth registering and halter breaking, unintentional or otherwise, that's going to be a nice little horse someday and I'd be willing to bet she's going to be very good minded. |

Location: Texas | I would definitely register her, even possibly send her to a trainer for 30 days to add value to her. Even if she isn't the next 1D horse, she could very well be a great rope horse, hazing horse or ranch horse. Some of the best horses that we've had on our ranch have been unregistered, ugly or just built funny. Luckily she is young, you can register her and she can go any direction at this point. You have to give her a chance or let someone have the opportunity to give her a chance. |

| I think I would listen to my husband who is concerned with your families financial welfare rather than feeding an unregistered filly. Since you have no breeding certificate there is the cost of putting the dam on a stallion breeding report, stud fee ?? and at 24 months old the registering cost is $305 plus DNA of $40-50, your AQHA membership $40 ... as you can see you are pushing $400-500+ or more just to register the filly.
The sire to this filly is bred to be a roping horse and has several full siblings so apparently the dam is no slouch in the roping pen. Frenchmans Bogie has sired a PHBA world and reserve roping world champion!!
You need to find out who your fillies dam actually is ... LITTLE BIT O LEO is an old mare 1977 model. ... LITTLE BIT O LEO 022 is a 2005 model ... if you try to register her as you have her on allbreed you could run into some big time problems with AQHA with additional DNA and possible AQHA inspector costs ...
I would suggest again ... realize the filly is a cost that may not fit your budget right now since you have a new baby and hyperinflation is increasing the prices of everything big time. .. It is time for you to make a decision for your family with no animosity or resentment towards your husband ... do it for your family ... it is little things like this that fester and could ruin your marriage!!
One of these posters likes her enough to want to buy her ... work out a deal and sell the filly right here on your thread ...

| There where a lot of bar gold stuff down here on halter shows in the 80's and some of them did make barel horses.

Here is a kicker.....my husband trains horses for a living (specializing in roping horses) I may have to pay him to ride her like any other customer lol. Thank you for the feedback |

She has been tuned out to grow. She has worn a halter a couple of times but I would not say she is halter broke, no. |

Location: the end of the rainbow | Lol. Don't judge. A friend just picked up a coming 4 yr old that isn't halter broke. He catches and leads but just had his first tying lesson last weekend and has only had his feet trimmed once in his life (when he was knocked out to be gelded 2 months ago). Your little mare will turn out to be the love of someone's life .. Kudos to you for wanting to give her a fighting chance. |
