Streaking Ta Fame is a very nice stallion and I adore his colts. They are always big and beautiful. I contacted Joleen back in 2013 about breeding my mare to him and honestly, I felt like she blew me off because my mare didnt have a great set of barrel racing papers. So I took my business elsewhere and it ended up being a great decision for me. I figure there are plenty of other nice stallions and appreciative owners who would rather have my hard-earned money. Others have said she is nice to work with so maybe she was just having an off week. I think at this point if I had to choose a DTF son I would go with either Lions Share of Fame, Firewater Ta Fame or Eddie Stinson. Good luck with whatever you decide!
That's a real bummer! I bred to him in 2013, and the mare I bred won NCHA money but had never even looked at a barrel and Joleen was wonderful to work with! Perhaps she was having an off week, although that's still a shame to have that experience. |

I hate to hear that. I bred to him in 2013. Actually by accident. I had a contract on Rare Bar. He died the week my daughter got married. So, the next week when the mare was ready I called Jolene for setting up, refreshing vet info etc. She was willing to refund all my money, but let me go with Streaky instead. I didn't know her from adam. I took her word on it. She shipped, worked great with my vet. You can imagine not having a contract and not having bred in the last 7 years what kind of jitters I might have had. I have never worked with such a great person.
Sorry you had a bad experience. I am extremely pleased with my cutting/race cross and with my relationship with her. |

| I really like him and have stalked him from afar lol I really don't want any more babys. BUT might make a exception. A friend and I looked at a yearling by him last year.. really nice set of papers but guessing he didn't get the care possibly should have.. was small, thin boned and just kinda rough looking. I watched his runs last year with the other jockey and at the American. Watched the new jockey in kinder this weekend and they must be having growing pains together. Sure didn't clock like he has in the past but like a above poster said.. they can all have off days. |

Location: USA | You can make a stallion look awesome with a good photographer. Unfortunately, there are a lot of studs that I feel have been made to look better than they are in person.
Streakin Ta Fame sure isn't one of them, he is very impressive in person IMO.
To top it off he is out there competing and being competitive.
He qualified for the American, let's hide and watch to see how many other Stallions do that.

Oh that would be so exciting! We pasture foal so my boys, mostly the youngest, goes out with me to check them. Even though he is with me every time, I tell him it is because he is lucky when we finally do go out to find a new foal. He loves that. He's 3 and horse crazy. |

Same thing happened to us! Our mare was at Jolene's to be bred to Rare Bar when he passed. Such a bummer but we also went with Streaky. Joleen waswonderful to deal with considering the circumstances and now that cross is a beautiful 3yr old filly. |

| He was at the barrel race this weekend and I really didn't see anything that you might want to change in a photo. Pretty darn nice. By the way, that pattern was so small that any tiny bauble or stumble would cost your dearly. Also, the pen was really geared for small horses, which he is not. I didn't see the horse run so I can't comment on that. |
