Whats not to love about this horse? LOL I'm a quarter horse person myself but this horse just grabs your eye and catchs it. Hes gorgeous and has everything else that counts too. One in a million.
Its the horse's natural way for his head to go,in reining it doesn't matter where the head is, the horse just has to be comfortable. The horse's tail isn't nerved-blocked either, you can see how it freely moves.
I bred a 24 year old mare and got a great filly from her. She's now 26 and still riding and learning. Horses are too old when they are too old and you can't put an age on them. They will tell you when they are ready to retire.
Actually, it's very common for reining horses to have their tails nerve-blocked. This is done in many ways, but the main effect it has is a partially or fully paralyzed tail. This is done because "wringing" their tail is undesirable when they're showing and the horse looks more relaxed. I personally don't agree with it but it's extremely common in the US.
True. It is pretty sad, I do see much of it in my area. But I have heard of people adding weights to the horse's tail instead of nerve blocking. But still, very disappointing.
Actually, they are getting taller. QHs were originally bred to be small and stocky. You're right though, the HALTER horses are extreme. I think this guy is lovely and useful.
@atvkyra it is my impression that the mare was perfectly healthy when bred. as long as a horse has no health issues u can breed them till their late 20's...even into their 30's. before you go jumping to conclusions maybe you should read up on your facts.
@atvkyra if she was producing horses like this and was healthy at the time, they aren't going to retire her. you can breed mares into their 30s if their health permits. things like that happen all the time, you only really hear about it when its a really nice horse and it is very sad, but unfortunately it is unavoidable most times.
+maggiestardust His mama was probably healthy when she was bred. Something happened during the pregnancy. So glad they were able to save the colt. My mini horse's mama is nearly 30, and she's still going strong, but has not had a foal for years. My boy was her next to last, and he just turned 9.
What does the woman mean with: "Jays Ace was 23 years old and had no chance to survive." Does this mean that 23 years is too old for a mare to have a foal? Why did her owners decide to breed her anyways if their was a high risk for the mare?
Quarter horses are looking smaller and smaller. And there heads are getting lower and lower. All breeders, don't mess up a good breed by making them more and more extreme
I'm not saying he isnt nice.. just saying I had to laugh when it says "one of a kind looks" lmao.. other than base colour he looks exactly like his dad and SOO many siblings...

WOW!! This horse is just....WOW!!!

What a handsome horse! Yowzahs!
The deafness comes with the color.. Splash white overos are prone to deafness, especially if the white on their face covers their ears.

He's so gorgeous. I wish I owned a horse like him
omg they need to make a Breyer horse of him, he is so beautiful

Just because it's illegal doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It's very common in my area and I think that's pretty sad.
i love his tail!

@Amandais13 not the way i meant it

Do you ship his stud to Brazil?
Did they say that the broodmare was 20 yrs old?? Why do that at that age? I think it's irresponisble.
some horses can breed soundly until the age of 25 not that it's recommended but it has happened depending on the horse.

she was 23 most of them if they are healthy still do really well but sometimes things like this happen

@RellSaysRawr If you care for them correctly, 20 is not all that bad. I've heard of much worse, it really all just depends.
WHAT A LOOKER!!!!!!!!!
Mmmm I would love to get into that bloodline
i have a foal sired by him. hes deaf
