WoW everyone has some very nice horses! I thought I would add my 2 cents with a few pics.
This is my (hopefully) cow horse to be Olenas Dun With Doc. A.K.A...Honey, shes my rags to riches pony(free weanling) She has Doc O'Lena, Doc Athena & Buds Doc Olena on her papers and Doc Bar, Waggoner Royal, Son Of A Doc, and Sugar Bars to name a few just off (4th gen) The first pic is of her when I got her @ 5 months old
And this is her after being in my care for 60 days
Her playing cowhorse all on her own in the pasture.
1. Spies the COWS!
2. Sizes em up.......
3. Spies something a bit more 'her' size. She pushed this lil guy around for awhile nice in slow and steady, then the lil bugger thought he'd had enough and tried to make a break for it and she quick as a cat hopped in front of him spun him and cut him off.
Shes going to be 3 this year...so when it warms up here and everyone looking slick again I'll have to take some newer pics and show her off a lil, she really has grown into a nice filly and I cant wait to get her started( either this fall or next spring as she doesnt turn 3 until july) |
Chickshunt2,best thing that ever happened to that filly and you,when yall found each other.
She is a looker,post a picture of her when you get a saddle on her.
good luck

I agree with the others, this is a fun thread. I can see there are a lot of folks here who ride good horses. I'll add some of mine.
We raised a gorgeous, really quick, cowy mare by Frosty Feature out of a Stage Bar Ted mare that qualified for the 2006 AQHA World Show in Tie Down Roping. Some of you might remember I posted the story and pictures after we got back from Oklahoma City in November, 2006.

She's raising colts now. Here's Pepsy:
 
 
Following the World Show I bred her to Night Time Shiner, a Shining Spark son out of a War Leo daughter, raised by Carol Rose who was a 3 time World Qualifier in Working Cow Horse where he came in third once:
The mating resulted in this filly. She is two now and I will start riding her this spring:
 
The mare gave birth to another Night Time Shiner foal a year ago, a full sister to the palomino filly but is black this time.
 
The black mare, her mother and a half sister are bred to foal this spring, to Bill & Deb Myers' stallion, World Speed, a Streakin Six son out of a Dash for Cash daughter.

Needless to say, I've been counting the days all winter!
A full sister of the black mare with a nice line-bred colt by a Frosty Feature stud of mine. I started riding him last summer and fall. He is coming along very nicely:
 
Here is a Feature Jack daughter we raised out of an Easy Six bred mare that I ride and really like. She's darned cowy and a real sweetheart. I've tried breeding her twice but have been unsuccessful so far. Although disappointed, I've enjoyed riding her instead. If someone better than me took her, she could follow in the black mare's footsteps:
 
Sarge is out of the black mare's mother by my Frosty Feature stud who goes back to Easy Six on the dam side. This is the horse I was riding at Soapweed's Spearhead Ranch last week in the blowing snow. I've borrowed this "chilly" photo from Soapy. This is just a really nice ranch horse, as level headed as any that walks on four feet. Like someone else said earlier: not great at anything, just good at everything. A little bit too tall though, for a short guy to crawl on with heavy clothes:
A glance at several others that are solid ranch horses. The gray is Bandit, another Feature Jack son out of the black mare's mother. He and Sarge are 3/4 brothers:
A tough ole booger that tossed me and broke some ribs, just moments after these pictures were taken:
 
Since I raise 4-5 foals each year, I've got about 25 others eating a lot of hay, some we ride, some are brood mares, colts, yearlings, etc. but no other pictures available at this time.
