| I know who his parents are and how he's bred but he's grade! Had him since he was a weanling, last horse I have from my parents ranch, he'll be 18 this year. Started as a head horse but quit pulling so he became my breakaway horse, pole horse, and barrel horse. Great breakaway horse, 21 second pole horse, and i'm still running barrels on him. Won the 1D in a spring series this year on him, but big shows he's a consistent 2D horse. My husband uses him to hunt off of, great babysitter, he's definitely my once in a lifetime horse!

Location: AZ | This is Pistol - my Mutt!! He is grade & running 1D & also on the Pro circuit - he had some mighty big shoes to fill & he is starting to do just that!! He is 8 & all I know is that he is supposedly Doc Bar somewhere in his breeding! He was posing for me last night! I bought him sight unseen, never threw a leg over him - bought him, went & picked him up & brought him home <3

EXCUSE ME! I don't know who you think you are but all of my horses are grade and they will beat your registered horses any day! Blue my 16 yr old grade Cermello gelding will out last any of your registered horses any day! And blue has won me 3 buckles, halter, and 2 saddles! Rooster my 12 yr old grade paint has the speed of a open/pro rodeo barrel horse and will out last your horses on a bad day! My "grade" horses are not disgusting cretins they look better than 99% of your registered horses. I am NEVER ashamed of riding MY grade horses. People like you make me so sick! I don't understand how you can be so blind! Papers don't make a horse, its the heart of the horse that matters most. I will take heart over papers any day. YOU make me soooo mad!! I think that post was meant with sarcasm.

Location: Gainesville, TX | Most of the horses I grew up on were grade. We had a kid horse called Little Man that was some kind of pony cross. He packed us all around the ranch. We had a black mustang pony too called Tar. My sister's and my first horse was a grade paint ranch gelding named Rocket. He treated us well. That being said, I don't own one currently that isn't registered. I anticipate having some that are grade when my husband and I have kids again as mutts seem to make great kid ponies. A good horse is a good horse. I appreciate both but I'm not going to breed a grade one either though I might give one a home. |

Agree with you totally! Only reason mine is grade is because I was lazy! Sometimes you know from the moment they hit the ground that they are special and are not going anywhere. When we weaned him, we locked him in one of the stalls to be halter broke the next day. There was a five gallon drum in there, can't remember why, but when we went out to feed the next morning he was down on his knees trying to cut that barrel, he would stick his head in it and sling it across the stall and then try cutting it as it bounced off the walls, I claimed him that day... (Dad has tried for years to get me to trade him so he could have him back) Sorry I could go on and on with some of the stories on him... |

Location: In The Snow, AZ | This is hubbys gelding, Roper. He was and, could still be, a knock up head horse. He is in the neighborhood of 13-16 years old. He is a roarer but will not give up till the job is done. He is supposedly Poco Bueno bred. I've taken him thru the pattern a few times, and with absoloutely no training, he hits in the high 19's. He is smooth as a cadillac for hubby, gentle as a dog to throw our daughter up on, and high spirited enough for me to have fun with. He has earned his stay. Can't forsee him ever leaving.

Wow.
So if your grade horses are so good, why are you not in the Wpra top 15?
Oh you mean compete against adults in the open?
I'm not in top 15 because I can't haul right now but I have the horse power. I do compete against adults thank you very much and I beat them to. I did not realize at the time that it was meant as a joke so excuse me for not liking my horses getting trashed. Have a nice weekend :). |

My comment was all sarcasm! Plenty of people around that beat pee wee's and call themselves accomplished. I just throw it out there. |

| This is my mutt! Just bought him Monday. Both parents are appendix so he is not registered, he is a grandson of Frenchman's Guy. The seller owned both parents, has sold the mare but still owns the stud, he was an accidental breeding. I have all the info to get him registered but don't know if I will or actually can- the seller said she has enough ROM points on the stud. He is little, 14.3, seems to have a great mind for a green 5 year old. I have 3 big 1D horses that I have dumbed down to 3D so was not looking to buy more horse than I can ride. He is compact, short back but I hope he can be 3D. I was able to bring him home to try him. I wanted an easy going horse and he won me over going through obstacles like he has does them every day. I will send him to Jan Powell to put on barrels.

Young lady, you should be admitting you made a mistake instead of childishly carrying on. I myself have had to apologize for misreading a post. Sometimes it hard to read humor/sarcasm on the computer. People on here are usually very forgiving if you have the maturity to admit when you are wrong. |
