He's not out of a reining mare, in fact, I like the bottom side of his pedigree better than the top side. I guess for me (if I had a mare) it would depend on what he looked like and how I thought he would cross with my mare. He is a great grandson of FDD, not a grandson, so with FDD in the 4th generation that really doesn't count for much. I think this horse would need to show something himself, or have a pretty nice colt come out of his first colt crop for people to look at him much. |

Location: South Central Florida | I don't want to put the stud down, I have never seen him. IF his confirmation was excellent, and he offerred somethying to a mare I believed would cross on his confirmation AND the price was FREE or almost free, maybe. But it would not be based on the blood lines, it would be based on temperment and confiramtion. Dash for Cash and First Down Dash are amazing, but they are so far back. . . |

| If confirmation and attitude are nice then I'd consider it.. After all how do these horses become well-known!? To start a new 'it' line this is what happens... It would also depend on the mare I was crossing him with. |

Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm | The mare's side may have been a reiner, but this horse is almost 100% good race breeding. I think he merits more research. Is his sire AAA? Is his dam an open reining money/AQHA point earner? Is his conformation and disposition excellent? There are worse bred stallions being stood to the public that have done a lot in the pen. Just sayin' take a closer look. Just don't expect high marketability because of the responses you received.  |

Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm | It's not unreasonable to think this horse might be very nice. He's got a lot of AAA horses right up close and a solid pedigree. I'd be more inclined to give him a chance than just write him off.

Location: Alberta | I did bred to an unproven stud 4 years ago...he now is a rodeo winning, 1D horse, a son of Firewater Flit & out of a proven producing Packin Sixes mare.....
As for the pedigree posted, based on paper too far back on most names for me.
