Coming or Going This Guy'll Do It! Cow on top/Speed bottom-Dam has Easy Jet on Papers

[The Western Web]

If I was in the US I'd buy that foal right now and be on my way to get him. I'm not all about actual papers but I sure am about the blood in them. I've rode everything in that bloodline and this one will ride. He has a head just like a Doc O'Lena mare I raised one time.
 
I always said, you don't ride their papers, but their papers have to ride. I'd buy him grade, does he have white above his knees?
 
I'm supposed to put together a run of a load of horses from the north country (which I'll probably have to go buy myself) coming down here, but it's just way too much to put on a young horse through this trip, or he'd be in that load for me personally.
 
I'm always looking for younger broke (or started at least) horses at a reasonable price, and I know there are lots in that North hard grass country from CO, WY, MT, NE and the Dakotas. Keep an eye out for me? I may start hitting some of the sales like Corsica this summer.

I know what you mean about selling. I don't think we ever raised one that we WANTED to sell, but .. you can't keep them all.

I accidentally posted under the nic as TWW. I usually only log in as TWW when I have administrative duties like banning a spammer. I post as cowboy and I have less admin rights = less potential screw ups.

I can see the pics. You posted them perfectly, and they're automatically thumbnailed. I love a paint with a solid head. When we were in Colorado we were taking care of 84 head total, work horses and saddle horses included. Almost all our mares were Doc Bar somewhere along the way, mostly out of South Dakota and Wyoming and we got 6 head from the 4 sixes in Texas. The rest were big boned foundation, lots of Driftwood and Hanponies and we had 3 homozygous Tobiano stallions.

I made my living for 20 years either watching the world from between a set of ears or with my arm in a mare. I miss it a lot and I haven't owned a personal horse in about 5 years.

I live in Southern Mexico with my wife and youngest daughter. There's a pretty good market down here for GOOD horses. The local horses they have here are like some kind of runt Paso Fino, I don't know whmarehe genetics are. can't really ride them, they use them for pulling coach taxis, they're kinda like an Amish horse but a bit smaller.

I want to bring down some QH type, color is a + anywhere of course... papers are worthless. If you can swing a rope on them or they'll work for any kind of rodeo sport they'll bring big $ and people have the money to spend. I'm looking for some of those $600 - $1,000 hard grass colts that are started and also some broke warmbloods/sport horses.

I can haul 6 at a time down here. I was going to go to some west/midwest sales and put together some loads of 18 head and make a deal to stage them in McAllen TX, then take 2 days to go up and get the inspects and paperwork done and haul 3 loads across into Reynosa MX and stage 12 of them there and haul 6 down, then make 2 more runs.

It's going to take some organizing to pull it off correctly, but we have green grass 12 months and I just need to bring down a couple of guys from North Mexico to ride every day. No one down here in the South could train a horse except me and I don't want to do it every day any more.

I just want to smell them again. I miss their breath and I miss looking marehe world from between their ears. + the cash benefit of bringing in good horses is a big motivator :crazy:
