He certainly looks good in the picture from what I can see, hes priced decent and I really like how hes bred. Reminic has certainly proven himself and I have a daughter of Dry Doc thats prodcuced one great foal after another. Dry Doc wasn't as famous as a sire as his brother Doc O'Lena but he has proven to be a really good brood mare sire.

You could certainly do worse then this colt as a stallion prospect and Lord knows theses plenty out their that are.

I guess my question would be what are you looking for? The problem with your initial question is that cutting and reining are not the same nor is reined cow horse ... so what are you actually wanting? What is your budget and what are your plans for the horse you buy?

PS there is a bulge in the first photo that bugs me. I like the pedigree... but there are lots and lots and lots of horses for sale right now... so your answers to the above questions would be helpful in finding the perfect horse for you...

I think more and more people are not limiting themselves to just a " cutting " horse or just a " reining " horse theres no reason most of them can't be both. With young stallions like Boonlight Dancer and many of the Shining Sparks just for examples were seeing more horses that perform in more then one areana which is a good thing IMO. I think we need to get back to the more versitile horse in the QH industry which was the mainstay for so many years.

County I agree BUT we both know that it is MUCH more expensive to create a cutting or working cowhorse with a show record than a reiner with a show record. I still want to understand why the OP wants to buy a prospect when there are good broke horses selling for the same money. Also why she wants to buy a stallion instead of just paying the stud fee. There are too many good stallions proven in both cutting and reining available for the same or a heck of a lot less than what it is going to cost her to get one there. Proven means a whole lot more than a prospect and you do not have to feed one for three years and have an injury make all that money a waste.

Why? I would imagine theres any number of reasons a person does. Personally I don't think its more expensive to train a cutter then a reiner. The colts I've had in reining took much much longer to get ready to show in the NRHA arena then the colts I've had in the NCHA arena. And the thing with a cutter it doesn't take long to know if its going to cut or not, if it isn't find it another job rather then try and force it to learn.

But why? To me its why not?

Notice the "with a show record". It IS much more expensive. You have cattle fee's in cutting along with the class fee. Reining, you only have the class fee. So yes, creating a cutting or working cowhorse WITH A SHOW RECORD is MUCH more expensive. Cattle fees have gotten quite outrageous. (However, personally, I like cutting better

)

I'm not saying its not more expensive for some I'm saying it hasn't been for me. Not everyones the same not every horse is the same. Around here they won't even put a reiner in a show till its been trained for a year. I've had cutters earn checks with only 100 days under saddle. Theres a very wide range with horses nothings set in stone that I've seen.

He is nicely bred. Looks gentle, but like some have said, it'll be 4-5 years before you know if he's really stud material. You could probably buy a 2 year old, ready to start for about the same price, and he could already have the personality that he'll maintain if kept a stud. Manageable or not....

arabianlover15 · 09-16-2008, 04:06 PM

ok since everyone is like we need to stop breeding just for one thing why dont i just go ahead and look for an all around colt? yea ill just do that..................
