I have a paint mare that will be 7 years old in June. I bought her from guy in August and started her under saddle shes got about 15 days on her now (the winter weather slowed us way down). Shes coming along real nice and has a great disposition, but I don't have the time for her that she deserves. I can only get out to the barn about once a week and at her age she needs someone to hurry up and get her finished so that she can start showing. Her papers are listed under the name Cocoa Jet (if anyone wants to take a look: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/cocoa+jet ), but I have no Idea what to ask for her. Paints are not my thing, I've always had quarters. She is a really pretty bay Tobiano, but I don't know anything about the mothers side of her pedigree. The top side I know well, can anyone help me. I am curious to see what she might be worth. Thanks for the help in advance.

crysann,
I'm in Okie City. I haven't been shopping, so you might go online and see what is listed in the Sunday Oklahoman Classifieds to get an idea of what is being asked. Seems like the last I looked there were quite a few listings, but it has been a couple of months ago.

How is her speed? Several fast horses in that pedigree on both sides. Do you think she is too big to chase cans? Does she have the attitude and speed to go that direction? Are you looking at her as halter or performance material? I only saw what I took to be a couple of horses that were much better at halter than at racing.

Look back in the posts 'cause this lady's handle evades me at the moment, but there is a lady who posts on this board that raises paints here in Oklahoma and she could probably tell you best places to look for info on prices, plus, she may be more familiar with the paint aspect.

Thanks for the info I'll take a look at the past posts and see if i can find the lady you're talking about. I tried to answer a few of your questions:

"How is her speed? Does she have the attitude and speed to go that direction?" shes quick, but I think her dispostion would be better as a competative trail or western pleasure horse
"Do you think she is too big to chase cans?" She is 15.3 but put together well, not too leggy, evenly proprtioned

Once again I appreciate the help. Thanx

i really like her pedigree. but like you, i dont know much about paints, so her bottom side is pretty unfamiliar to me. but pictures would be alot helpful to evaluate her price.

**plus, I really wanna see her!!

thanx I'll post a few pics when I get to my computer sometime later this evening (i'm still at work). The pics aren't that great but will give you an idea of how nice she is. The weather around here has been horrible and its hard to take nice pictures when your pony stays muddy all the time and youre lucky if it gets above 40 degrees Smile

. Give me a few hours and I'll get those pics for you.

I posted pics of her under general discussion "trainer need in Ok" if you would like to see her still pics aren't that great the weather here is not on our side (i.e. I should be riding instead of on the computer today LOL)
