What about the running horses???
Panther Mountain?
Storm Cat?
Holy Bart?
Howling Corona?
Rare Cigar?
Paddys Irish Whiskey???
Kool Quick Kid??
I just saw Kool Quick Kid the other day, oddly enough. He a sweetie, and drop dead gorgeous. Never hear a bad thing about his colts. |

BigStarBound - 2016-03-11 3:25 PM cecollins0811 - 2016-03-11 12:55 PM Can't trust Hancocks, they are mean buckers but hard workers. Definitely heard this one! I did have an ApHC Hancock gelding once though that was the absolute best little youth rode mount. There are exceptions to every rule! But the bucking Hancock is definitely a rule!
Wanna trade? Lol my Hancock is exactly like the stereotype...sadly.
My Hancock is the stereotype. Bucker and stubborn. Basically a complete ******* but I've heard those are the horses that turn out the best!... Or atleast that's what I keep telling myself lol |

| I have had all the big race bloodlines and we just don't click, so I stick with my cowbredd or cow/run crosses. I love OTMR crossed on a cowbred mare and have had lots of luck with the cross. On straight cowbred, I like Highbrow Cat, Dual Pep, and Freckles Playboy. I honestly haven't found any of the cowbred lines I don't like. I won't ride a Hancock. I had one bust my face one time when he turned into a NFR quality bronc. He would work cows and pasture ride all day long, but if you put him on barrels and made him work them, he would get ignorant. It might have just been him, but I won't ride another again to try my luck, lol! |

Location: Some where I haven't left yet | I'm one of the one's also who isn't a giant fan of DTF, had 3 total, loved them, but they totaled 4 too many. Experienced a Judge Cash, and without going into detail I'll just say pass. Murrtheblurr and Music Mounts are the two bloodlines who have bucked me off. My Mr San Peppy's to date were the hottest to ride. I like Special Effort, but I can't say that I'd go out and buy one. I like cow bred, but have trouble finding any that are my "size" ie Big. lol Most of the Race lines I love including Beduino, they are tough and gritty and most of the time quirky. It's so funny too me how some swear by one bloodline who another hates. I always laugh at the "Impressive" threads, usually those who hate Impressive love Doc Bar, which makes me laugh. It's all personal preference and I've got some lines like Murrtheblurr that I won't touch, that others completely love.  |

| I have Poco Bueno running through the veins of many of my mares and have owned a bunch and have never had a bad footed one. But I also like the old school skipper w before the halter people ruined the line.

Mine, ALL MINE...lol I love Juno's Born broke. I will take ALL of the Juno's I can find and for me they are a hard to find commodity. Lucille was a Juno daughter - she was simply amazing, had another that was my main shooting horse and the last one that I could find is my Paris and she's a turning fool. |

Mine are both hardcore workers. The mare is a crabby butt...that being said she has won more than any other horse on the place. Our gelding Loves to run barrels and is an excellent cattle dog. Can be a little "quirky" but for as hard as they work in the arena I'll take it

Location: Ohio | horsiace1025 - 2016-03-15 8:28 AM 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
Same! I've never owned a palomino that wasn't an airhead or meaner than a snake lol
I've got a 4 yr old that is a Docs Prescription grandson on top and Peppy San Badger/Dry Doc grandson on the bottom. Great little horse but he is still young and can be a little scatterbrained at times. Has bucked a few times but nothing to write home about. He is almost too smart for his own good though and was VERY accident prone as youngster because of it.
I have 2 Impressive bred mares in my barn. One has had the snot beat out of her at one time in her life and mentally shuts down easily. She came bred and her filly (ahem... palomino) is a total WITCH! Waits until people get close to her stall and tries to bite, used to get nasty around feeding time and very dominant in a herd). Both are on the sensitive side and are prone to rearing up and spinning around if spooked or the pressure gets to them. Wont own another one... they think on a totally different wavelength than my cow ponies. |

This is funny, I have an Impressive bred (very far back in the line but its still there) and mine is completely mentally unstable and rears up and spins if shes in a high pressure situation. Wow! |

I've seen a few that are awesome kids horses but mine are very fragile minded. My older mare is by far worse. If you push her too far she will go from a small rear and spin to a full on "lights out, no one's home" mental meltdown. I would have blamed it on past owner/trainer experiences before I got her but her filly is the same exact way. Beautiful horses, both have amazing conformation and athletic ability but holy cow they are either mean or mental lol |

I had an Impressive bred one that was a great kids/beginner horse. Loved her. Her last foal (who is now 10 years old) you couldn't give me. She is bratty and dominant and pushy, and still likes to try to buck on occasion. She makes me nervous to be around her because she has tried to kick at me in the past. I'm just glad I don't own her. |

Location: Nebraska | Doc O'Lenas/Smart Little Lenas are sweethearts. They try hard to please. Peppy San Badgers are incredibly smart, but that also means they're crafty. This includes the "Big 3" cowbred full brothers- Gallo Del Cielo, Paddys Irish Whiskey, and Grays Starlight. My little ranch horse is a Lena on the bottom and a PSB (Peppy Badger Chex) on top. She'll let you know if she gets frustrated, but once she figures out what I want she sticks to it. She learned flying changes and spins insanely quickly. High Brow Cat horses are touchy and from my experience can get a little hot, but they're super athletic. |

Location: Nebraska | I've also noticed the Lenas liking to nibble on things. Not necessarily cribbing, but if they're tied they might chew on their lead ropes or throw blankets if they can reach them. Once I left a practice bridle within reach of the mare mentioned above. Turned around for 30 seconds to get my spurs and I came back to one of my split reins in her mouth  I'm just glad my own stupidity only cost me some damaged practice reins and not any of my good ones... |

Location: North of where I want to be | I had the pleasure of riding a Gallo De Cielo, who was PSB also......SMART!!! The gentleman that owned her had a way of frying her brain. My best friend rode her and she was a dream. She has since sold and she is burning things up with the lady who has her now. Blocky little powerhouse with looks to boot. |
