So I find myself in a pickle. We have a yearling that it cutting bred, that we bought from a friend of ours, in fact she was the breeder of the filly, it was more of a favor to her that we bought the filly, cause we weren't really looking, we run barrels lol, our current barrel horse is a half brother to her, and her full sister runs barrels so she could be a nice barrel prospect, but the more we work with her and the more I watch her move the more I think she should cut, we can't afford to send her to training for that (we train our own barrel horses). So my prediciment is should we sell her to someone that will cut on her? And risk hurting the relationship of the person who sold her to us (she has first refusal), Or keep her and barrel race on her.
She is by a son of Freckles Playboy and out of a daughter of Bob Acre Doc

I know this is a little late, but I just saw this old thread.

Freckles Playboy horses can make some awesome barrel horses, particularly the taller ones. Is this filly short and compact like most cutting horses or does she have more daylight under her than most? Is she short strided or does she have a longer stride. These things would determine what I did with her AFTER offering her back to the breeder.
