           Location: Kansas | Can you just post a link to his pedigree? It's very hard to read the pictures when when downloading them |

I don't think it is too much Doc Bar, but I personally wouldn't like the same grandsire on both sides. |

           Location: Kansas | well he is line bred, which personally I'm not a fan of but some are. But I do like that he has shining spark and smart little lena on his papers. |

| Too much smart little Lena, doc bar too far back to make a difference.
I have rode smart little Lena top and bottom, the horse was as stupid as they could be, couldn't retain anything, no cow sense, took 3 times as long to train.
From what I heard with line breeding smart little Lena you either get an amazing horse or a horrible dud, and some studs throw all duds |

       Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm | Here's a better look at it. http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/mnj+hc
It sounds like the grandsire Smart Like Juice was kind of a big deal. I don't keep up on cowhorse bloodlines much because I always think they MIGHT not have enough speed. I prefer racebred with a line of turn in their pedigree.
The Doc Bar linebreeding is kind of intense. I'm not fond of that much of anything. If you add up all the percentages it become considerable in the proposed baby. Almost 20% Doc Bar.
If it were ME? I'd outcross rather than cross those two horses. Especially if you're trying to get a barrel horse. |

    Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | I don't like it. I see NO reason to breed a mare to a stallion that has the same sire she does. There are 876546899 OTHER stallions, pick one that isn't that closely related too the mare. Unless said horse was an aged gelding and was the perfect kids horse, I would pass. |
