(34,136 posts)Most of mine are heavy Poco Bueno blood. My stallion had Poco Bueno showing on his papers twice and King once. The fourth line was Three Bars - the only TB blood he had.
Here he is as a three year old (from 1983):
He sure shows his Poco blood, doesn't he?
I had a daughter of Two Eyed Jack and granddaughters of Sonny Dee Bar and Blondy's Dude with some Leo blood and Skipper W thrown in. The favorite mare I still have is registered AQHA, Foundation Quarter Horse Association, International Buckskin Horse Association, American Buckskin Association and American Warmblood Society - she got a silver medal at her warmblood inspection.
Here she is with a 2005 filly by a World Champion cutting horse stallion:
I'm not breeding any more - foals are not selling and I can't afford to keep them all. I've got four mares and one gelding that was from our last breeding season. No good pictures of him, but at three years old he's over 16 hands. Right now he's being ridden pre-hunter since he's too young to jump. He's big and rangy and while he can do the Western jog, he just doesn't look the part. He's got a wonderful big trot and a gorgeous canter. If I were still riding, I'd want to take him dressage but the girl that is working him prefers hunter so I'll let her campaign him.
