What I don't like is when they no longer resemble a Quarter Horse at all, and end up looking like this...
Again, just my opinion and I hope I don't offend anybody. I am sure the people with the "greyhound on stilts" type QH's love their horses as much as the rest of us love ours! Besides, I am sure they can jump a lot better than our shorter cowhorse versions!

absolutely love it Pedigree Fanatic!!! and i totally agree. im aware that our bull dog brick sh*t house horses cant jump, but i aint no little girl, so i dont wanna sit on something that feels like it is gonna break when i sit on it!!!  
this is my "little guy", im sure you've seen him before, i tend to brag a little too much. he doesnt have as much foundation as you guys are talkin about, but I dont hink he looks like any other 'kind of QH'. http://www.allbreedpedigrees.com/watch+sonnys+zipper
i posted this in another thread, and got some responses, but since you seem very educated on foundation bloodlines, how much % foundation blood do you think this mare has?? b/c i think its rather high, and so do some others. http://www.allbreedpedigrees.com/berts+poco+harlan

Ken, Just got a call from Tom and Sonny still has some swelling and is still sore. He will be going in on Monday for xrays... sure would appreciate it if you all would continue to join us in prayer and ask for healing, but most of all that God gets the glory and honor in and through all of this.
Thank you!
Sheila

I think your filly is at least 95% "foundation bred".
Danny Star Bert (sire) appears to be 100% foundation bred.
Harlan's Man (broodsire) should be 100% foundation bred also.
The second dam, Shelly Dodds, is high percentage of foundation blood with only 2 crosses to Three Bars through 2 of his excellent descendents, Doc Bar (75% foundation, I think) and Baronet Bar (75% foundation). I think she's like 93% foundation, so your filly's dam is more than 93+% foundation, a very high percentage.
I don't really care much about foundation blood "purity" stuff because I don't think that a bit of TB blood hurts a horse, but I personally am partial to the Joe Hancock/Red Man and Joe ReedII/Leo bloodlines. You can't do too badly with the Oklahoma Star and/or Bert bloodlines, either. Very useful QHs with good conformation.
BTW, I love following damlines, and Bert's dam was a great mare that produced some good AQHA sires and damsires: Bert, George Clegg, Greyhound, JB King. |

absolutely! I love dam lines as well. and I think that more and more people are beginning to realize that they are important!! Thanks for your help as well. I figured she was kind of a higher % but wasnt sure! So thanks. I also dont think that adding some TB in lines is bad at all either, but some is the opperative word. No offense to jumpers, but i like big horses!! lol
anyway, thanks for your help!

I intended to post but then thought I'd wait till he finished the meds...
December 31, 2007, they put him on meds and every other day sweats... he seems to be re-growing bone. He went back today and they are recommending going back in. Their vet has tentatively scheduled another surgery for Thursday (January 10, 2008) if it will work ok with Tom and Lorna's schedule. They are continuing the antibiotic through surgery and a week or two afterward. (They are saying the same as last time for the recovery time. And are still projecting a complete recovery.)
Please don't stop praying! WE APPRECIATE IT, ALOT!
Sheila

Ken.... update
Tom phoned and they have postponed the surgery for a week to ten days, tentatively.
Sonny has a runny nose and temperature. (As does the colt in the stall next to him... the vet said they were seeing quite a lot of it now.) He will continue the sweats and meds till then.
We are continuing to pray. The Lord will work it all out... 
Trust and Obey
Sheila
ps Tom said he was ready to get started back with Sonny  And I told him I imagine Sonny is ready to get started back too... he loves interaction.

| Hello Ms Shiela this is an update Blake won both saturday and sunday double judged In AQHA reining. He placed over a son of Smart Chic Olena that has 2 ROM's and thirty something thousand won. People just need to give the foundation horses a chance. How is Sonny doing? We are still praying for him. God Bless and have a good day Ken |

That is so great !!! Glad to hear Blake is continue to do well! YIPPPEEE!
So did he get his points needed for ROM with that competition?
Sonny had his second surgery Thursday. They sent off samples (bone and tissue) to Colorado State University in hopes that the pathologist can tell them what was going on. Lots of ugly angry bone there and some of that was growing into the canon itself. The surgeon is scratching his head - no idea. The other vet told me that as a precautionary move the surgeon didn't put any internal stitches in this time, in case Sonny might have a reazction to them. He also said they would probably bring him back in to re-wrap at a week after surgery (again trying to take precaution, given the situation).
The surgeon told me that they probably won't have any word on the tests for a couple of weeks since the bone samples will take longer.
Your continued prayers are very much appreciated.
Blessings,
Sheila

Ken, Dr Foland telephoned last night and said that Colorado State University is basically scratching their heads too... they don't know what the deal is.
HOWEVER they didn't see any signs of cancer or infection!!!! PRAISE THE LORD!
I have updated Sonny's journal on our site as well as the blog.
Thank you for you continued prayers.
Now tell me, is Blake retired now? He has accomplished much and I know you are so thankful!
PS Tom is riding in the NRCHA Derby and we are hoping to go up next weekend for the NRCHA Worlds Greatest Horseman and get pics of Sonny while we are that close - regardless if he is in bandage!
