SLIDE:
I can’t recall the name of the other foundational horse - Poco something - a really good cutting horse, and sort of stocky/short.
I sold most of my horses when I hit age 60, and was diagnosed with osteopenia. Didn’t want to take a chance on breaking the bones. I had promised the family to do it no later than 60.
I gave my grand daughter who was part of the local saddle club her choice. And my niece got the next choice. The others I sold.
Poco Bueno? I had a mare. She was a good one. Got old and had to put her down.
That would be Poco Bueno, foundation sire for sure.
Sorry to know that you don’t ride anymore, I would really miss doing that. I’ve stopped showing, but I like to ride out to check the cows and then go up into the hills. My escape. This is the time of year that the deer herds are forming, and strangely, they aren’t spooked by a horse. I can get a good idea of where the bigger bucks are establishing.
But now I have to find a couple more horses, but not a young one that will have foolish notions.
waaaay too small to ride:
