This is the stud we chose for our Impressive bred Mare

bburrus

After an interesting previous thread, sometimes with many different opinions on our Impressive/Two Eyed Jack bred mare, I have posted some pics of the stallion we have just bred our mare with. I only had a few minutes to get the shots of him as the horseflies were terrible in the pasture. Any thoughts on him and the prospective foal? He always throws light babies. He stands around 15-3.

As far as the foal, you have a 50% chance or a "red" (sorrel/chestnut) and 50% chance of a palomino.

As far as the stud: You don't want to know what I think.

Go ahead RACINGQH, everyone here I have discovered has opinions. I know this studs history and he has all the personality qualities we were looking for. He has been used competitively on a local level and done very well. I realize that these are not good confirmation pictures but I think most people here are only looking for general comments. Glaring confirmation problems still show up in pictures that are posted here. Tulsa is certainly no cripple, has no health issues, is a big strong stud, very gentle and manageable and if we have a foal that is somewhere between him and our mare we will be delighted.

alrighty, this horse IS NOT a halter or western pleasure prospect but that is not what Bob is breeding for. the stallion that I see above has a hardy and sturdy build horse that looks like he could trail ride all day and chase a few cows and not break down on ya.

the only real fault I can see in him is he is a bit long in his back and is built a bit down hill. this horse is not a horse I would choose for my breeding program but I think for what bob has in mind, it is a good start.

You know how you go and look at a used car and someone has cleaned the engine, new oil, cleaned the inside....everything is gorgeous. Doesn't matter if it is a lemon or not, you are not going to know because any leaks and flaws have been covered, patched and hidden.

This is how I feel about a lot of the pictures of stallions you see in the books, the big prices bring a lot of digital changes, hidden flaws, things like that.

This guy is as you see him, I like it. I would like to see him cleaned up and glossy too, but that is for my own visual enjoyment, the mare doesn't care and if he is built and bred to produce a nice foal combined with your mare, well, enjoy? You are seeing his field beauty and talent. Is he what you like?

I know there are a million stallions out there and they say, don't breed unless you are helping the breed, well if you are going to keep or train this foal, and then sell or what ever, if you have a plan, go for it and enjoy.

We just had our mare bred to a Cremello, Pale Zan Parr. Nice looking Stallion all cleaned up, I have seen him field dirty too, likee him then too. Laughing

I agree with comments from the others too, depending on what you were going to do with this foal, you might want to pick a different stallion, but from what it sounds like, this is your guy.

Bburrus-can you e-mail me...Im in Ontario too-the stud you bred to was bred by Slim Noseworthy(all Bar SN horses are before 2002) known for breeding good using palominos. And I thought Bar SN TUlsa King had disappeared thinking there was only one pal. stud still standing bred by him(I know of 2 others out of one of his mares/studs).
Here is a link to the stud I named/raised til sold to these folks up near North Bay http://www.geocities.com/wanddfarm/Montyspage.html He just didnt fit into my program...heavily race bred on top.
Just curious where hes standing is the point i was getting to.
