Location: Where its cold and hot | We have a daughter of smoke n sparks. Won $20K Her futurity year. Runs 1d, gritty rodeo mare as well. She is pretty hot when it comes to running. Total sweet heart on the ground. She's 15.1, black, heavy set. I've seen a few others as well that were very similar to our mare. I'm planning on breeding a mare to him this year. Love him. |

Location: Buffalo, Wyoming | If you have facebook look at Timmi Ward, that is pretty much all she has been riding for the last few years.
I have been around a bunch of them, never personally rode one and have not seen Smoke N Sparks in person. I did live in the same town he is in so there were always a few at any barrel race I went to.
What I have noticed is the the harder you use them the better they are. Treat them like a horse and don't baby them at all. I lived on a friends ranch and she owns a daughter. She used her for everyday ranch stuff and the more she used her the better she ran. |

Location: Vinton, La. | I have a 19 year old broodmare by him that I raised from birth. Track broke only, injured herself as a two year old, and just makes me very nice babies. She is HOT. Ok that's putting it mildly, she's the spawn of the devil. But she's tough, gritty, and her foals are super nice. I'd take 5 more just like her. |

| Mine is smart, smart, smart!! Show him once and when he does it correctly, move on. I was told his colts were "Bold and Arrogant" when I bred my mare to him. I say that statement is true . I like everything about the colt, but he is mouthy. No spook and not easy upset. |

Location: Desert Land | I remember a friend of mine had a nice SNS daughter out of an Azure Te bred mare. That filly was BEAUTIFUL but wound tight. I rememenber one time she has asked me to help blanket horses...when I got to that filly she was running around like a nut and would NOT let me even get near her with the blanket, let alone blanket her - you would've thought it was her first time. She was talented though in the arena, not sure where she ended up after she sold her.
I know Kelli Tolbert's good NFR mare was by SNS as well. |

Location: Running barrels or watching nascar | I ride one and she is not hot. In fact, she's a total dead head until you point her towards the barrels.

Location: Sweet Home Alabama | I know this post is old, but I have to add how in love I am with my 2 yo SNS! I bred the mare in my avatar to him and she was a total witch back before she was turned into a head horse. Like when we first got her, she would randomly buck and kicked my dad in the knee causing him to have knee replacement at 39. She was a nightMARE. But we made it over her witchiness and she turned out to be an awesome all around athlete so I wanted a baby out of her. I liked Smoke N Sparks' height and build, and pedigree obviously. And Cleo stuck out to me at the 2010 NFR so I said when we retired my mare I would breed her to SNS. I finally did and I just love this baby. He is so laid back and I haven't found anything that really bothers him yet. He's got an old rope horse mentality. I'm thinking of breeding my mare back to him next year. Maybe I'll get something other than a sorrel again...  |

| Bred one of our best broodmares to him too this year! Our daughter of Disco Jerry didn't check in foal so we bred him to our Special Effort bred mare who is a proven producer and we are hoping for a filly! Hopefully in a few months I can post pics! :) |
