http://horsetopia.horse-for-sale.org/classifieds/ad305358

Dont like the foal at all. Id like to see more photos of her standing still, Looks to be basewide. For a broodmare, Id like at least, AT LEAST 15 hands.

Preferred the 1st one but i want something a bit more flashy.The others just look like the average coloured horse over here.

I was looking for conformation... Not just color.

I like her

something more wild than that,sorry guys.

Sorry Tj,she is a nice mare but im looking for loud overo

I understand the color you are looking for. I think the mare looks good.. But, she is way to short. The paint people want them TALL.. And, just because they are loud color does not mean they produce that.. You can still get a BS out of that. She is just not tall enough for me.

I did not care for any of those.. If you are looking for loud here's one.. 16H, good confirmation, loud, big boned and nice big feet.. $1500.00

wow i like her,where she and whats breeding.

Im not to worried on size anything from 14.3hh - 15.3hh is ok.
Not after anything to really show in APHA classes over here as quite frankly its not worth the entry fee and travelling.
She is purely for fun,riding and showing in English coloured classes of which my kids want to do.Later breeding.

I believe she is standing in Bluejays pasture.

Yes mare is correct..

She is 4yrs old and goes to Bright and Bold and Macho Mount (on her papers). No HYPP.. She is a very nice mare and has a great mind. I have owned her since she was a yearling. She is only for sale do to health issues with my husband and a reduction in income..

Here are some other shots out in pasture.. She can go any direction. And, would be easy to take there.. That is why I am not asking much for her and need her to go to a home where she will be loved like she has been with us.. I love her pink skin..

She loves the color Green.. Big boned and nice big feet. She is also very correct. 16H with two blues eye.. She is a sweet heart..

Prissy..The one I sent you pics of, is registered tovero dun.

Well Bluejay, gee sorry you didnt like my choices, I really liked the big first mare,
Love her hip, size, and seemed like just a pretty nice mare, neck come got really nice and clean out of the chest, long neck pretty headed, and well broke with a show record.

I understand, I prefer Overos as well, Ill keep loolking for you.

Bluejay,she really is a nice mare but for us here she going to be to tall.Riding her in forest we would get ourselves knocked off by trees and there branches.She little to old for me aswell really want something from this year or a yearling.Unless a broodmare that rides good too.SORRY

Other than that i like her.

TJ, I didn't dis like the horses you put up here.. I thought they did not have enough color.

Shaz, I thought you said young one I did like the foal on the one you sent. And, agree that the mare looked base wide. That could be from all the chest she has on her. Over here if they are not tall they do not even get a look in riding or halter. Around here anyway.

You should be able to pick up a nice one if you do not want them very tall and looking for a younger horse..

i certainly am looking for a baby.

To be honest ive got a dual reg mare and if it wasnt for her being such a nice horse to be around i would sell her as she to tall.
A nice filly to make 15.1 ish would be perfect.

I like the stock type horse shorter.. They were never ment to be tall. The were short and stocky so they can work. And for some of the same reason you talked about. The cowboy needed to go under those low limbs and they never liked having to get back up on a tall horse. They just make more sense being shorter..

I only go tall because of the political stuff and people do not even want to look at one that is not at least 15.3 and up around here.. Funny thing is that my first horse was a solid 17H.. I was younger then and had no problem getting on and off.. I couldn't do it ..

Where we live,if we lucky enough to go drag hunting for i think its a season we are allowed to go on the pony drifts which is where we round up the new forest ponies.Great fun but not on a 15.3hh or above horse where you have to duck and dive all the time.

What made it fashionable for these tall horses.I was always led to believe that the quarter horse could do anything.Like you said Bluejay the old stocky type did all that and then some.

What made it fationable was the bigger the horse the better chances of winning in halter and performance.. If you watch a pleasure class around here you would swear hey were all TB.. I like a bull dog bodie, nice arab shaped head.. Those skinny things are just not what I want to see in a stock type horse..

I have stood beside some gelding I swear were half elephant. I just cannot believe.. So, what do you do with that after halter is over.. You guessed it, through them away or let them die since the insurance is so great.. Yes, I have seen this many times with the so called big timers we are all so impressed with and the AQHA write the articles on them. I stand by what I say when AQHA promotes this..

The big breeders breed for it, the big time trainers choose those horses, and the judges pin them. If the judges would start pinning the real QH's, instead of the "half elephants" (I love that one, by the way), then the trainers and breeders would get on board. But guess who has the money? And that is why the horses are such monsters.

Gosh, I dont know, I wouldnt want to go back to foundation horses of years ago. JMO.. Rode them and love and prefer the ride of the modern Quarter horse of today. Just do.

I do think we have lost the versatility of the Quarter Horse. I know people say the breed is still versatile. Some do HUS. Some do WP. Some do halter, etc. However, I like the horses that can do it all. Nick is really that kind of horse...ya know, show him in SMS, walk/trot, pleasure, barrels, poles, go round up the cows, etc. I don't think there are many around like that anymore. I would buy a few more like him if I could find them, but they don't seem to be as common. Of course, he is 29 so that's what he was bred to be. Cletus is not that kind of horse. He does not have the mind for it.

What I do not like about the foundation bred is the inconsitency in how they look. I have not seen many that I think are pretty at all. There is too wide of a range for the lines.. I do like the modern look. However, I do not like to look at a QH or Paint that looks like a TB.. I am old school and like the roached mane, tail to the hock, big cheek and rounded off bull dog look.. Some of the uglest horses I have seen are foundation bred, small and some HUGE person riding the hell out of them. Not a pretty picture to me at all.. They also brought HERDA, in to the picture along with HYPP and the other crap the breed has..

Then there are the monster horses.. I like that look in a draft..
