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 would be tempted to wait until she is old enough to ride to make a decision personally, but if the breeder doesn't want to buy her back then she's your horse and while your friend may be sad that you sold her, if you make sure she goes to a great home I don't see why there would be any hard feelings.

Sometimes those cutting genes would be helpful with barrel racing, I would think?
I think we really need some photos to help accurately aid in advising you... :wink:
