    I bought a red chestnut yearling colt who had been thru untold sale yards in country NSW for $600, , he was thin and had a bad wound on one leg, and hated humans, ( not that I blamed him) nobody wanted this lil gangly boy but I saw something in his big beautiful soft eyes that won me over. When I got him home and settled him in I checked up on his pedigree, to my wonderful surprise he was a double cross of Doc Bar. My favourite QH was Three Bars so imagine how happy I was. 12 mths of work later when he was 2yrs old I took him to his first show and the man I originally bought him off could not believe he was the same horse, he now stood 15.2 and built like a brick shit house ( I'm from Australia, excuse the definition 😂). He won the halter event. He won or placed wherever he went. I eventually sold him at 15 for someone else to continue other pursuits on. A few years ago I looked him up he was now 31 and living with a beautiful elderly lady who loved him dearly, she showed me a photo of Johnny Farnham riding him and brought me up to date on his life after me. I cried when I saw him , he was still a big handsome chunky boy , he recognised me and put his head in my chest. Best day ever spending that time with him. He lived to 33 when he got bad arthritis in both front knees and went to the big green range in the sky. 🐎💞
    Moral of this story, don't judge a horse by his or her cover.

    But Three Bars was the foundation of all these legacy's. I bred my mare to a 3 Bars grandson. Stunning

    Many years ago. I shared a young 2 year old non spotted appaloosa with 2 friends. That filly was given to us ,Free, from people who competed in barrel racing
    Why free: the horse : when filly was 2 weeks old- she was running down a slight wet incline & took a 3 in a row somersaults.
    Then at age 18months- the owners noticed she could not collect. Took filly to u. c.davis equine dept: : she broke her neck from on those 3 somersaults. The break fused together & her next was 3 inches shorter than normal.
    That horse lived to bec30.
    She had ferocious speed & we played at barrel racing with big rounds if pampas grass in a field.
    And she taught many children to ride. And gave 1 little girl many blue ribbons prizees in English riding gymkanas!

    Had a great-granddaughter by him. She was by Lynx Lowel, who was by Doc Lynx. She was a small gal, made a young lady a terrific 4-h horse,
    and won many ribbons, especially in reining.

    He was a great sire and I loved Dry Doc. I would like if you could cover Ricky Bonanza. The Bonanza line was such a wonderful quarter horse bloodline and so rare to find one. My friend had a gelded son of Ricky Bonanza in the early 70s but I’ve never seen another offspring by him ….ever.

    I had a free horse from a neighbor. His papers were found and doc bar was his great grandpa. My boy was Docs chock bars jr. His dam was Docs jen n tonic. My name is Jen. He was my heart horse. Liver chestnut beauty who restarted my horse life. He was 22 when he was bought at a benifit for 50 bucks. My neighbors were clueless about horses. Doc escaped and came to my house. Skinny and lonely. They gave him to me. He was the best! Had him till he was 31. Everybody loved him . He was a charmer. And Fast!!! Unlike his grandfather! He had throurobred build and a confident attitude. Miss my Docco boy

    He was the leading sire of halter horses and AQHA Champions on the West Coast before he went to Jenson’s ..

    It was rumored at one time doc bars real dam was a Arab mare. That's why he was so small. A lot of his offspring have high tail sets. Dunno if it's true but who knows. Up until genetic DNA was required it was common to swap papers around.

    For a shorty he sure spread the height of 3 Bars on to his lineage. Great Halter, Western pleasure and barrel racing as well.

    Enjoyed the video, mucho dislike for the cap on your head . Doc bar played a humongous part and I rode many descendants. I preferred sugar bars though.

    If you’re quoting lineage it’s “by”if you’re talking the stallion and “out of” if you’re talking the mare.
    Get it right.
    And just in case, a half sister or brother is out of the same mare, not by the same stallion.
    I hate it when people butcher pedigree language.
