That I bred my mare to

Holland Hollywood

That's a darn nice looking horse.

Nice looking. I thought you were a Cutting guy. I'm guessing that monster is Running Bred? by the looks of him, but his name might indicate Reining. How about it?

Yes he was a race horse that won 136,519 dollars running against top horses. He is out of Holland Ease and is a 1/2 brother to Corona Cartel. Remember that Doc Bar revolutionized the cutting industry and Doc Bar was sired by a race horse Lightening Bar out of Three Bars a thoroughbred. Doc Bar never saw a cutting pen and is famous for one thing siring cutting horses.

IMHO a quarter horse should have explosive quickness. I think that outside blood can be a good thing

I like the way this horse is built, he is 15 2 1/2 hands tall, a bit taller than I prefer but not a deal breaker. The horse is stand in Compti, La. How far is that from you?

If they can run, they can theoretically stop. Turning around is another matter. I would bet that Stud can't turn around.
However; I like him a lot. Barrel running fool on the top of a good mare. Roping sire too on top of a good mare. Good sense on both would be a plus.

I'd bet he can turn around. I know my mares can in a heart beat

Your Mares will then make the difference either way I would bet. As you know, it is all in the shoulders and looks can fool. That Stallion might be very flexible and agile side to side in the shoulders despite his looks and his track history. Most track champions that are that strong from the shoulder into the neck have their ability going forward and back not side to side. But; you never know until you sit on them. Also: My turning around is defined as 4 left and 4 right. If your a cutting man, then 1 left and 1 right will do. I have a 6 year old Colonol Hotrodder son standing out in the pen that under my measure,can't turn around either, but he can sure stop and go the other way in a hurry!
Love those big red running horses either way! Let me know how your foals hit the ground!

He is a 10 year old that only breeds mares they will thicken with age.

I hope that they cross well. The Holland blood line is also used in performance events, only time will tell.

best of luck. Nothing wrong with that cross. Even if it isn't suited to cut, it'll likely do something worthwhile.
I've ridden some of the best bred cutting horses that exist, and some of those colts are dinks. I'm sure that you already know this, but breeding is only an increase in probability, but nothing like a guarantee. Hope you get a really nice one.

If you mean Campti (don't know of a Compti), just outside of Natchitoches, then it's about 2 hours away from me. Len Dalton is from there and is breeding some of the best cross bred cowdogs in the country.

You are correct. Breeding is just as you say good parents means a good probability but certainly no guaranty. My older mare is 15 hands and weighed 1100 pounds when I weighed her. The younger one, Is an inch or so shorter and about 950 to 1000 pounds. Both are smart and easy to handle. The stud was easy to handle and they are hand breeding

A racing bred stud horse by the name of Doc Bar totally revolutionized the cutting industry. I do not show in cutting but do team shorting and working cow horse cutting and reining. My older mare is a bit of a freak in that she is very fast at the top end and any event speed never hurts especially timed event IMHO.

IMHO any horse that like to play, is athletic and is smart can be trained on cattle. According to the people handling the stud horse he is both

New blood surely will not hurt anything IMHO

He is the kind of horse I look for in a Team roping head horse, or a ranch horse, without cross breeding because IMO the first thing I want in any horse is speed, without speed it makes little difference how smart he is or how pretty he is, add brains and looks to that and you found the best..

I would rather stay with a cross that leans toward the throughbred..We crossed some ranch quarter horses with Throughbreds one time and they were awesome colts but they broke down in their legs in the mountains of West Texas near the big bend park..bone was light and they got too big..

I like your horse as he is, you can't improve much on his looks anyway.

BTW, how many hands? hypp test?

I breed for a different purpose. I rarely push cows and expect my horses to cover lots of ground when I'm out on the trail. This is the stud I bred my buckskin mare to last month. He is still pretty young and not done with his growth



And this is the mare I bred to him


Now to wait and see what I get.

Name of the stallion? Pedigree?

Why is the buckskin cobbled in the front legs?
