Faster horses said:
I have heard of him. He sired some awful good rope horses.
They had lots of speed and were real stout made. Good-withered,
good footed horses.
We need more of that kind!!
In 1981 we bought an own daughter of Baldy Barnes that was 18 at the time. She was exactly what you describe. The old fellow we got her from was selling her because of her age. We bred her to an own son of Peppy San that my BIL owned and got a filly. BIL kept the filly until she won a BC breeders Snaffle Bit Futurity and then let us take her home.
The old mare never bred again and the filly turned into the best all-around horse I have ever owned. One of her colts we had trained as a cutting horse and he was one of 18 semi-finalists at the 1999 PCCHA Futurity in LA out of 180 entries. She had 9 foals in her life (including a set of twins) and all but one turned into good using horses.
The bad one we blamed on the sire. :wink:
Sorry I stole your post Robin, wish you luck with your colt, he's bred to be good. :wink:
