The above colt is my yearling. I'd like comments on him please. (conformation, etc..) He is Blue Valentine bred. He will be a performance horse(barrel racing, roping.) Thanks alot. His pedigree is under Six Shoe Hancock. Thanks alot!

Personally, I haven't found a "Blue Valentine" that I liked. Too much of a reputation for being hard headed. At least in this part of the country. They typically seem to have a nice build though. This guy isn't as musculed as I've seen around but he is also just a baby. He looks BIG.

We have had good luck with the Blue Valentines. We rode Chance, the 2 year old, for the first time on Sunday and he didn't buck or act silly at all. I do alot of ground work with mine and start saddleing them as yearlings to get them used to the feel of the saddle. So far, so good. We've been very lucky with the Blue Valentines we've bought. Thanks for your comments!!

I have also heard the same about blue valentine's around here so it must be nationwide... I worked with a blue valentine mare once that I swear was so pig headed I couldn't wait until her 60 days were up. She could give me a glare like you wouldn't believe too, just a nasty little thing she was!

Your yearling is very pretty though, as all of those horses usually are! I agree, he doesn't look like a working horse though.. He looks like some sort of pleasure horse or something at this stage in his life, but I just can't put my finger on it!
