She's priced to sell considering there's not much market for brood mares in the paint horse lines and she needs to go to a trainer. Jack, if you have any more concerns or opinions, feel free to pm me. Otherwise, go start your own thread designed to awe and amaze folks with all your knowledge.

Its been a while since I kept up with assoc. rules, but I'm pretty sure its been a while since you could get papers on a horse that tests positive.

Oh and Jack since you're concerned, she's also negative for Lethal White. Come have a look at her Jack, and while you're here, please trim the neighbors stallion, his hooves look awful. Hey I can get you tons of business on the west side.

+1 Being that she is "Impressive" bred is she negative for the HYPP gene? She's N/N for HYPP.For those unaware of HYPP, it's a genetic mutation that can affect one or both sides of the genetic strands of the animals DNA The infected animal is unable to metabilise Potassium causing muscle tremors or even paralysis. It's an inherited mutation and Leggy's dam and sire are both N/N as well making it impossible for Leggy to be infected. I've seen the N/H and H/H horses have episodes. Old school halter breeders actually bred for it, not knowing they were spreading a mutation, because the tremors of infected horses also created dang muscular show winning horses.

Yes, was sarcasm from us both Its cool. Love talking horses and long ears.I'm headed north or else I'd post pics of her foals.

Lark, Great lookin critter, name? Jack, The blondee started with halter shows and with those bloodlines and color genetics, she was more valuable as a brood mare. Bred at 3, 11 months gestation, year off, repeat. I know she can clear a 5' fence cuz I've not only seen her jump out of her stall, I've seen her jump back in. Lunging in the arena, she self rates and collects over obstacles and standards just like a veteran eventer Clearing 5' with an elk on the sawbucks? Sure, right after downing 5 gallons of RefBull.

Thanks Jack, horse trading is fun.Some, maybe most horse traders have earned their reputation and that horse trader stigma. Being ethical, I will not sell this mare to someone who is the wrong fit, otherwise I could have sold her yesterday. As she stands, this mare needs to go to someone interested in having her bred, packed, a pasture pet or has the ability to train her or send her to a trainer for saddle riding. Please, no more calls asking if she is suitable to ride your 4 year old in the Parada Del Sol. This is not a kids horse. A kid safe horse that doesn't have 3 hooves in the grave, is a tough, tough creature to find and I have a long list of parents looking for one. I would recommend trainer Twister Heller out in Congress, he gets great results for a fair price.

I strongly concur.

BeautifulI always enjoy seeing our youth involved in horses. Great going, well done sir!

No. She's just APHA and a tobiano pattern. She can't be registered aqha and I don't recall the other paint registry. Marilyn may be eligible for aqha papers. I just don't keep up with the association rule changes anymore. My neighbor back in Utah was crossing mammoths on foxtrotters. Gaited mules would be the ultimate, but your pack animals would have to be also in order to keep up.

Sweet. But I'll need the exact coordinates if I am to check on your cameras well being tomorrow.

I used to have a thing for the brunettes till I met my DeAnn. Mules name is Carlos Reavis Dos. Me and MulePackHunter Mike found him abandoned in the mountains last year. Mike has been working a lot with him and Carlos has come along ways. As you can see, Carlos is compact. But then most equines, buildings and battleship's look compact next to my big paint mare.

My experience tells me any horse can buck, can spook. But having had this mare 7 years, haven't seen it. I have seen her stomp a charging pit bull into the dust. Rather than take flight, she took a measurement and double barreled that dog in the head. That dog had gotten away with attacking horses before, but she quickly put an end to him.

I just looked at palominos on equinenow.com They are starting at $1500 for yearlings!

Put AZHog on the list. He bought a side of pork of us Fri, was prompt and friendly too. Didn't even have to twist his arm too hard when cold ones appeared.

Ooops, forgot to mention, thanks. Can't recall what she sticked at, but I'd guess 15.2 or 15.3hh But she'd be a good 17hh with heels, lol. She easily clears a 5' rail jumping and has just enough cow pony in her to give her attitude around steers. She's not a timid horse, have never seen her spook. We're trying to cut down on the herd size, 10 is too many and this one is prime for a job. Will be selling and leasing others. Besides, I'm picking up a very sexxy mule from Mike Hughes today.

It's been years since my truck looked as good as yours does now.

Was a good read. I believe Del only had a junior high school education but the contents of his horse packing and outfitting adventures kept my attention. Sending half broke pack horses on zip lines over raging rivers; heck yeah! Thanks, Mike

Haha, Chooma bucks! If these were paid out at the welfare office, fewer would want handouts. Yo bro, dat apropos!

The last time I saw a buck dead at the bottom of a hole, the hole was a dry AZGFD watering hole.

I'm with you there, bro. USAF Luke AFB, AZ 1979-1987

Oh crud, how'd that happen?

This thread should be pinned for future references since surely additional hunters will share the same concerns. Now, back to the important work of clipping my toenails.
