| Whiteboy - 2016-03-14 11:36 AM I heard Sun Frosts are too easy to train, Fire Water Flits are too easy to sell and Dash Ta Fames are too fast. But that is just hear-say.
The only time a horse is too fast is when it belongs to someone else. |

| Here's my experiences, but I'm NO trainer..just what i've owned over the years.
I currently own a daughter of FG and she's now 7, very very laid back..she sat all winter approx 4 mos, just started legging her back about a month ago and I had a sassy buck and that was it. Very knowledgable, didn't forget a thing she was taught previously. Not hyper by any means.
Had a FWF granddaughter, very turny all business in the arena, sort of high strung outside in general riding
Beduino both top and bottom grandaughter, hot to try and slow work, and on the muscle, but all business and very fast on the pattern. Easy to trail ride!
Had a two eyed jack gelding that was a cold backed bucker! Tried everything, nothing changed him. Also had bugs alive in 75 on his papers.
Another bucker I had was bred Boston Mac and Doc Bar |

Location: Moving soon..... | I will not get an Impressive bred. I have a very good friend that has one that is not what you would think of when looking for horses. He is by an own son of Impressive and gets a check everywhere he goes. He is 19, but does not act like it. |

Bully Bullion----laid back and user friendly, I have only had four though.
BA-75------Very watchy, and always alert.

As far as cow bred horses, I've heard the Greys Starlight's take a little longer to mature and can be quirky. I've owned one that fit the stereotype, but have seen a couple who were total dead heads.
Shining Spark's are sensitive. They are smart and super responsive, but it doesn't take much to hurt their feelings and their brains go a mile a minute.
Docs Hickory's have attitudes, but are super athletic. I have a 2 & 3 year old right now that take this stereotype VERY seriously. lol |

Location: North of where I want to be | This is years of research and experience with the bloodlines...I know many will disagree with my personal choices.....just what I like.
Impressive- I LOVE THEM!!! The mares do not suffer fools well. They are straight rank when they don't like you but workers if they do.
Easy Jet- Not the prettiest, but smart and easy to handle
Jet of Honor- Smart and trainable
DTF- Pretty, fractious, and a bit spindly...I am not a huge DTF fan
Shoot Yeah- I will take a barn full of these guys! Trainable, fast and consistent.
Special Leader- Smart, but need a good patient hand.
No Mas Corona- Not for the faint of heart. Need LOADS of patience, but the most athletic things I have riddenso far and everyone I have spoken to who has one seems to say the same thing.

Location: So. Cali. | I usually hear the Beduinos are hot and crazy stereotypes. Love all the ones i've had. Yes, could be described as fragile minded and stubborn to a point, but some of the hardest working horses I've had the pleasure of owning.
Merridoc I've heard, and experienced, they are late bloomers (mentally).
Have a friend who believes Colonel Freckles are buckers.
I personally havn't met a, A Regal Choice, I've been overly impressed with. Handful of competitive ones, but the ones I've seen have a screw (or two) loose.

| I have heard Peppy San Badgers are buckers and a little bratty, too smart for their own good. My mare used to fit that stereotype but has mellowed out. She still has her bratty edge and will crow hop every now and then but that's about it. She is SUPER smart as well. Despite what I've said, I would take a barnful!!! |

Location: North of where I want to be | Packin Sixes- I have only had experience with mares of this line and they are smart, and gritty. A little I'm going to do it my way in the attitude department.
I' Really like to hear more on the Game Patriot, Tres Seis, A Streak of Fling, Judge Cash, Zevi, On the Money Red

| I had an own son of Special Effort- really nice, hard worker, sweet!
I had a gd of peppy san badger o/o a dash for cash/lady bugs moon mare-wonderful! laid back, i let kids ride her as a 4 year old, and could fly, however, she did take a lot longer to "get" the barrel pattern.
Also had a pure cow gelding that had doc olena, colonel freckles, and leo and was the most hard working and had the biggest heart of any horse iv ever owned in your pocket type
had a mare out of an impressive/doc bar dam and she had an attitude but would work all day long if you wanted, and fairly easy to train.
Stereotype CENTRAL! The only horses I have never had any luck with were palominos and paints! LOL |

| These threads always amuse me. I run a mare that is DFc/Beduino on top and Two Eyed Jack/Skipper W on the bottom. She did buck when she was a 2 and 3 yr old but once she matured she was fine. I think a lot of time, time plays a bigger factor than anything, people quit one before they invest the time in the them to get something accomplished.
Racebred horses in a lot of cases are the same way, they are wired a little tighter and need the TIME invested in them. I am currently seasoning a filly that was in race training as a 2 and 3 yr old, they never really got anything done with her because she was just another colt in the barn to them and it was slap a exercise rider on her, hot walker, stall...rinse wash repeat. She got sent home and turned out for 6 months and then I started her. She spent 90 days pasture riding and getting broke, lots of time invested by someone who is a great hand. She is the type that when something scares her she is going somewhere else. I spent most all of last year sitting in a warm up pen with team ropers being team ropers and her trying to come out of her skin. TIME. She was patterened slow and everything was done easy and correct. She is very talented and honestly the sweetest kindest horse we own but it took us putting the time into her, she grew up and matured and let her do it on her schedule. I feel like a lot of time breeding gets blamed for people wanting to rush training and maturity, honestly a lot of time its nots the breeding its the training. Some bloodlines are more user friendly without a doubt.
We own a Mr Jess Perry son, who is easy going, takes everything in stride and so far all of his babies have been the same way. They are born wanting to please. My FIL owns a Corona Cartel son and his babies are ones that need the time invested in them, when people put the time in them they work. |

| My PSB gelding would buck if he hadn't been ridden in a week or two, never really a hateful "trying to get you off" buck, just enough to be annoying but it did get me to actually ride him consistently lol... he would still hump up almost every day. Id just tack him up and let him trot a circle or two on the lead and he'd stretch out and be fine, but he definitely helped keep the stereotype alive! |

I have a mare that goes back to Storm Cat - some of the stereotypes about bad attitudes are true. But man oh man is she smart. She's totally unforgiving, so if you ask her for something and she does it, and you don't immediately take the pressure away, she is furious. But boy is she athletic and fast.
I've also heard that Storm Cats have crooked legs - mine is straight legged, but a little over at the knee. Could be coincidence. |

| Peppy San Badger - grew up ridding them, never had a "bucker" but they were all business. Loved to work and natural athletes
Freckles Playboy - VERY natural athletes. Ive seen a 14h mare clock 1d and looked like she wasnt even trying
Go Man Go - hot but pleasers.
Two Eyed Jack - Stubborn!!!!!
On the Money Red - I dunno what to say here aside from we DONT match. Had one crazy talented but he just seemed to try on his own terms and he was watchy. If wanted to run nice, he usually won but a lot of times he just loped and dinked around. If you kicked him, he'd trot.
Doc Bar - raised on this bloodline and they were all althetic, sound minded, built to last and hard workers but some had some issues tying up. Knowing what I know now, I bet there was some PSSM or something going on.
Jackie Bee - hard workers but tend to be kinda lazy. Sweet personalities though, I'd own one for a kid in a heartbeat.
ETA... I had a Dash for Cash/Easy Jet Gelding out of Melvin Ranch and he was so sweet. Such a good boy and so safe.
Also had a Raise A Native / Easy Six mare who was fragile minded. But she also went through a lot. She loved me but didnt trust anyone else.

I have a Howelling Corona yearling. Hs is incredibly smart. I repeat - VERY smart. He is still young, but he's impatient. Pouts when he doesn't get his way. He's very friendly. He is crossed on my LHDI mare. I can't wait to see how he performs in the barrel pen. |
