I raised this filly and showed her as a weanling she did not do so great as a weanling at the shows, then I sold her and the new owners continued to show her. as a yearling this year. This is her at a show this weekend in an AQHA Double Judged show, she got Grand Champion under one and Reserve Grand under the other. Anyhow what are her strengths and weaknesses? I am trying to figure it out because I plan on breeding her dam again this next year and am in the process of picking the stallion now. I want a halter show prospect.

Those where the best pictures I could get at the time.

Oh here is the dam. This is the one I want to breed this next year.

This is the sire of that filly:

You think it is a good match? Or you know of a better one?

Kassie, I was wondering where you find out about some of those smaller open shows you go to. I would like to show at some smaller shows to get me and the horses some more experiance. Come spring anyways. I've been to ill for awhile and haven't done anything since June. It's killing me to not show at the Pinto Congress next month. I'm hoping to be off work and be able to drive down to check out the APHA Fall show next month. I'm in withdrawal Crying or Very sad

Hoping to be better by spring.
Cute pally filly,btw.

The filly is cute, but does she have a splint on her left hind leg (right in front, upper part of cannon bone)? Or is am I seeing something wrong in both of the pictures? If she happens to have a splint the judges will knock her majorly down for that I'm affraid.

I just watch the local paper, when a small open show close by is comming up they advertise in the paper. Also some of our friends that are really big into showing know when all the shows are and he will tell me when I knows of one I might be interested in.

About the splint, I did not notice that in person, she seemed fine. It might be the pictures. I am not sure. She no longer belongs to me, when I took those pictures, that was the first time I had seen her in about 5 months. So I am not sure about that. But I do see what you mean in the pictures.

The mares pedigree is here:

Oh the filly was injured a few months ago. They said she was ripped open from girth to flank, they said any little bit farther would have killed her. She does have a scar on her belly, but you can't see it unless you look under her. So she was without much conditioning in these pictures, She had just come out of stall rest about a week before the show.
