She is coming 3.
Sire is Zippos Mr Goodbar and dams sire is One Hot Krymsun - that all means nothing to me though. I know nothing about QH's.

She's cute! I loff bay roans, I have one and she's constantly changing color, it's really cool!

I have two Appendix QH's but don't know squat about QH bloodlines, so no help there. As far as suitability for hunters, the key would be her stride-- a lot of them can't make the lines at the rated shows. So, it'd depend on what your aspirations are-- if she moves halfway decent and can jump, you should be fine at the local level shows. In my experience, a lot of QH's aren't the best movers-- luckily both of my guys have enough TB in them that they move "bigger" but neither are super fancy. One thing I do know as far as QH's-- pay close attention to the feet-- little feet are no good and a lot of the halter bred horses, especially, have them.

Good luck and let us know how it goes today! :)

She's cute! Fantastic color, you'd definitely stick out.

There's something about her butt that I don't love, but it could be the way she's standing, the giant saddle in the way, or just that she's very young.

Tiny feet on a QH scare me. If you like her, I'd definitely have a trusted farrier take a look in addition to the PPE.

She looks like she might be a little sickle hocked/weak in the stifle to me but it's hard to tell from those pics.

How old is she? Any other info you can share?

Never hurts to get some rads done of her fronts especially if you decide to go forward.

I still like her tho!

She's coming 3. Trained western pleasure.

My friend actually vetted her and her vet said there was something on one of xrays up front but he couldn't say whether it would cause a problem later. I don't really recall but I'm certain she'll share the xrays with my my vet if I wanted to pursue it.

Well I will tell you she is EPICALLY bred for WP. Her sire's sire was huge when I was a little girl and a dear friend of mine breeds to One Hot Krymsun to sell at $20k-$30k at birth. Don't hold out for the hip improving though.

I <3 her color you will certainly stand out in a class....Quarter horses are notorious for having super dainty small feet....I hope she works out of you....EVERYONE needs at least ONE Quarter horse in their barn... I missed how tall she is????

I'd guess she's 16.1 +/-

I don't think she's as big as I thought earlier. I felt large on her. She went more forward than I thought she would so retraining might not be so bad. But her can't felt really small to me. She felt surprisingly good considering it was muddy, her feet needed to be done two weeks ago and she had lost a front shoe. So she had one long foot and one short foot up front :no:

I'll try and put up video if my internet cooperates.

You know what...? As cute as she is, I'd pass. I just don't like how her hind end is put together, combined with the itty bitty feet :no:

I've known a couple of the bigger WP types and they haven't stayed sound enough to jump...
