So, I've been having western training and my trainer went with me last weekend and we picked up two barrel horses. Both lovely and talented (and expensive!). What do you all think??

Quick Jetts (Jenna):
Quick Jetts
5 y/o barrel mare,

Otoes Twistin Bueno (Cowboy):
Otoes Twistin Bueno Quarter Horse
12 y/o barrel gelding,

Oh my, the palomino is just stunning! The other one is nice too

 

[chika1235]

wow! they look like they cost more than my house!!!

 

[lacyloo]

Whoa... Your so lucky !

 

[JustDressageIt]

They are both gorgeous.
Though.. I am confused. Everywhere I searched, it shows Otoes Twistin Bueno as being a stallion, was he just recently gelded? OTOES TWISTIN BUENO

 

[ridergirl23]

THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL oh my gush!! they really stand out to me! haha even tho im a english rider, they are amazing!!! good luck with them! you will have to give us updates!!! i cant wait to see more pics of them soemtime!

 

[Honeysuga]

WOW, they are beautiful. What are their times?

 

[Tennessee]

Since when is Otoes Twistin Bueno a gelding?

 

[Painted Hotrod]

I can't see Otoes Twistin Bueno being gelded, and sold..
As I seem to understand he is still a stallion.

Otherwise, he has awesome bloodlines.
King, Poco Bueno, & Jet is there too..
I just can't see him being gelded :?

Their both beautiful..

Do you have any pictures of them in their new home?

 

[Tennessee]

Also, do you have any previous experiences with barrel horses? I have a horse sired by Otoes Twistin Bueno, and knowing his owners I know that they would not sell him to just anybody, not only that, if you really did buy him and have gelded him they probably wouldn't see it fit either.

Are you totally sure your purchased these horses? I just can't see an English rider purchasing two very VERY well accomplished barrel horses without any formal training. Do you even know how to barrel race?


Do you have any current pictures of them at their new home place? I am just a little suspicious of this.

 

[lacyloo]

^^^ good point...

Him being gelded may have been a term of the sale... also, since he is Poco Bueno bred, he could be a carrier of HERDA, and if he was tested positive to be a carrier (he will NOT contract the disease himself) he could pass it on to his get, and if bred to another carrier, the foal could become afflicted and would have to be put down. It may be a recent thing, a foal may have shown to be afflicted, which would mean he IS a carrier.

Maybe not, maybe the owners had another stallion and couldn't manage him too, or didn't want the hassel. Kevin, a close friend of mine was planning to show and use my gelding, Spur, as a stud, but cut him because he didn't have the money to show him and prove him as a stallion, and sold him as a gelding to us, and we haven't had the papers transferred yet, so his stallion status hasn't been changed yet.

They are BOTH beautiful, however, I think I'm a little more drawn to the mare... I think because in the picture, her face looks like it may gray out, and I am a sucker for grays!

They are both beautiful. I really hope mare was not run on barrels though (and you'll hold for another couple years with her).

I like the mare, saw her on barrel horse world Barrel Horse World Sounds like shes done a lot.

Do you have any more pics of her? Pretty lucky getting 2 new horses!

I am curious too. Since I have a bunch of AQHA bucks that I never use I went onto the site and see that there is no transfer from Trails End Ranch where he stands. All the pics of him are from that site. Could have been sold and transferred though and they wouldn't have the record yet. He also has 11 babies on the ground so I can't imagine he is herda since he was DNA tested. What a horrible shame if they gelded a stallion with the show record he has. Maybe his babies just weren't up to par???

 

[girl_on_black_pony]

My bad, stallion ^_^
Idk exactly what its called, but its sorta like a co-ownership.. does anyone know what im talking about? or do i need to explain..?

Oh and btw Quick Jetts isnt very accomplished..

 

[girl_on_black_pony]

Partnership! Thats what its called.
Heh -brain fart-
But technically its my parents who own them..

 

[upsidedown]

I'm a bit taken aback and a bit unbelieving that you own these horses as well as are from Avalon and own Manhattan and Co... Not saying that your lying, just saying that its all a bit unbelievable.
