| TwistedK - 2015-05-15 3:08 PM I really think the Driftwood/Blue Valentines are great user friendly bloodlines.
Ok - Can ya maybe be more specific please .... because within those lines there are some @$$hats that I have personally had to deal with - And, to be real fair, BV was born in what 1955 or 56? And Driftwood was like 1932. A direct son or daughter of either would be dang old now ....
OP - when I think bloodlines, I think direct daughters or sons of something. When we are looking at the temperament of offspring, the mare has quite a lot to do with it too.

I agree on the Sun Frost... extremely versatile. Must say Sun Frost/Lone Drifter crossed on a speed stallion too is and can be user friendly |

Rafter Blu (Cross Spur stud) on a Sun Frost bred mare and any of the horses out of the Cross Spur Program that go back to Driftwood/Sun Frost/Blu Valentine/ and certain Hancock lines are very user friendly. I agree that there are some that can be buckers, etc... but I ride older lines. I don't want the DTF, etc. I want the all around horse that can go in any arena and do any discipline and is something any member of my family can get on. |

I have a roan filly who's sire has blue valentine on his papers. When I think "bloodlines" I don't necessarily think of direct sons of daughters...because lets face it, your either going to pay big money for one, or your only able to get one by an own son/daughter.
Everyone has their own opinion on lines, there are some race bred lines I don't particularily care for. But then again, I like a little cow in my horses because of versaility.

Location: North Dakota | I have a dash for cash grandson and I'm not sure if it's him or his breeding or what but he's just the greatest thing since sliced bread. He has the best personality, super easy to work with, and seems athletic though I haven't even come close to pushing him. He's definitely a character and has a lot of expression but does ANYTHING I ask with a "yes ma'am" attitude.

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I really like my Firewater Finale so far, but haven't ridden him yet. Hopefully later this summer. Really like my Ivory James mare. We leased a Jackie Bee stud and all his babies were born kid broke. Literally. Their 12 yr old daughter started most under saddle and anyone could ride them. |

I had a colt by Rafter Blu and that horse was the easiest horse I have ever had. Took everything in stride, I don't remember him spooking at anything and it kind of turned into a game to see if he would ever spook at something. He never did. You never had to "teach" him anything, after the first time he just knew it. I had to sell him when I got pregnant and the man that bought him is an old roper and with 30 days on the horse said he was the best minded horse he ever sat on. Never bucked, never freaked about anything. Even my grandpa that is one of those people that can pick a horse apart for every tiny thing brags about how great of a horse he is.
I want that horse back SO BAD! lol Man says he will never sell though :( When I get another horse, if I can't beg, steal, or borrow for my horse back haha, I will be looking for those lines. |

I have one that is a great-grandson of Dash for Cash (still on his papers) and he is pretty much everything you just described. If he gets in a spot, like where he spooks or something, he can be a little bit of a handful, but he is also only a coming 3 year old and I think that has A LOT to do with. After he spooks he just goes back to being his normal self. He's an extremely smart goofball, LOL. |

| Personally I like Easy Jet. Frenchmans Guy horses must be easy to train because the have been edging out the Dash Ta Fames at most of the futurities this year. |

We have had four Dash for Cash off spring. Every one of them are the exact same way. Easy going, not hot. Easily trained. Picks up everything really quick. Love me some Dash for Cash. |

I agree. This is why I recommend you save all your dollars to breed to the best you can afford. They are the best with reason.
I thought Sabra Oquins horse was outstanding. I think there were like 5 or 7 FG's in the finals.
I also wanted to add a stud that is no longer but I found to be very user friendly and that is Bully Bullion. |
