horses.

does any one have any? If so what type/or blood lines?


I have AQHA's and the line is mostly "handcock" on the mares side. and my stud is off of "highbrow cat" and one off the old king ranch line.. you can trace her line all the way back to englind from the 1600's

Sounds like you have some good ones there BT. I love horses but have never owned one myself.

thanks----i was just starting out rasing them for ranch/ropeing/cutting stock.

then the horse market fell. when the animal rights people got the kill plants cllosed.

I got a heck of a deal on the stud. I got him for less than his dads stud fees. 2500 but now a colt 6 months of age "how old he was when i got him" would be doing good to get 500 around here. The market for "blood line" horses seam to still be up some out west and mybe in tx... so i gues i am going to try to sell over the net or maybe go to Tx lol

I grew up in Central Ky and raised/bordered horses (T-breds mostly) until I left. I actually got my degree in Animal Science w/ emphasis on the equine side. But then the horse industry went downhill and I got my job and haven't been involved since.
