Hello,

I was doing research on sired horses from Bonanza Can back to Brother Can and I found your forum post about how you have a horse out of Bonanza Can.

My grandfather owned Bonanza Can and is looking for a stud with the bloodlines of Bonanza Can and Brother Can. He had a mare out of Bonanza Can, but she never produced any studs for him.

I was wondering if you had any information that might possibly be helpful in finding a stud?

Thank you so much!

Good Morning to you! How are you doing? Haven't seen a post for awhile, so glad to see you back. We're having lots of wind & will get some rain & snow in the next few days-not my favorite weather. What's happening in your neck of the woods?

She is that ,super sweet!! I could never let an inexperienced person ride her though unless I was leading her unless I had a lot of sweaty pads on her over several days time before letting someone else get on her.

I completely understand....she's a beautiful girl and she seems super-sweet!

Kathy, I got a message that the reply I had for you was way to many words. Please don't think I'm ignoring you, I just got to "long winded" in my reply. I'll try again...

I just fed the horses & now I'm having my coffee. I "retired" @ the end of December, then spent January packing doing some demolition (FHA Requirements), & getting things ready for the final move to AZ. We did have to go back a couple of days later to get another trailer load. Oh, the things we accumulate. I do not recommend moving to anyone & having to move horses, pens, shelters & LOTS of tack is a really big chore. So,tell me more about your horses & do you do anything w/them? Do you follow the foaling threads? I love seeing the new foals & watching them as they grow up. I've raised a few, but I won't do it again. I like to buy & ride. My mare was a bit of a pill yesterday for awhile, but she calmed down & we did have a nice ride. I'm hoping we warm up a bit-I'm so tired of being cold.

Hello fellow baby boomer! read you post on the "mature" thread. I'm so sorry you no longer ride, but you still have the horses? Does your family still ride? I just moved to AZ from CA, & it sure is an adjustment. I was lucky enough to move across the street from another horse crazy gal & we try to ride most W/E/s. hope your day goes well! Kathy

Hello back to you. I've actually been a horseperson all my life. Wasn't until I was 45 I actually got my own horse to keep here at home. I am originally from Oklahoma, but live in Missouri now. Glad to meet you also.

Hello! How are you? I am new here and noticed you said something about trying horses at 45+. I am also along that age, and happy to meet you! Don't know where you're from, but I'm from Texas. Nice to meet you! Stop by sometime~

My husband and I had rode together quite a lot. He was a novice rider and when I would give him suggestions he would respond with, "I want to do it my way". Even when he didn't have a clue as to...

I am another one who has no problem with starting a 2 year old under saddle, but for only short rides in the beginning. I had my mare's first born colt/gelding started as a 2 year old and rode him...

^^^it looks like she will foal this year sometime and sooner than anticipated. I say that, because of the look of her lower abdomen. When the mare's abdomen drops to the shape of your mare that is...

My QH mare is Bonanza Bred on her top side/sire pedigree. She goes back to Bonanza Can by Brother Can and further back to Coys Bonanza. She goes back to Leo, Go Man Go and Three Bars-TB on the...

What a beautiful baby boy!!!

What a fun video to watch!! It is obvious the girl and her horse have a fantastic bond going on.

You really shouldn't lay blame on yourself for your friend receiving the bunt end of your horse's kick. I know you feel miserable for it happening. Thinking about taking a fall from a horse is...

I also have used zinc oxide for years with no problems at all. It only takes a thin coat of the zinc oxide to do the job.

Biting Gnats is probably what is bothering your horse. Lots of good suggestions already on how to deal with them.

It is very true that grass footing can be and is slippery, but where we erected my round pen is in a heavily shaded area where no grass grew anyway. Then with constant use it became even more...

The date of your above post was this morning of 5/24/2012. Did you buy the horse with the wound/cut already present or did it happen sometime in the night hours after you bought the horse? ...

This may not be in direct correlation to subject matter, but it may well be in fact. I had never trained my QH mare to lay down or forced her to do it and remain quiet while she was down. A...

Going in person to ask if the horse owner's could use some help or let you help with any chores would be the way to approach them. Rather than knocking on their door wait until you see someone...
