[QUOTE="Alan, post: 52964, member: 378"] Hey Bill, I love those Paso!, My problem (and some of my horse history is) I'm 6'4" and about 250Lbs, "Paso too small" or "me too big". My wife and I have 1 Thoroughbred gelding (first horse we bought, never will own another, but he is a love on the ground, with a NFR buck and he is my wive's horse). We decided after my wife was bucked off for the last time by him, we would get into Quarterhorses. So we looked and she fell in love with a Paint Mare, bought her. Still determine to buy myself a good QH gelding We looked some more I fell in love with a well bred yearling filly, yes another Paint. As this Filly grew to a 2 yr old, I saw she would not be big enough for me (3 yrs later I ride her on trails, rock solid as a 4 yr old, she grew). So once again we set out to look at this 16.2 hand QH gelding with halter breeding. Came home with a very nice weanling colt, (yes another Paint, breeding stock I fell in love with). We love all our horses and are determined to get into showing, We have taken the Paint filly to some shows, she did pretty well, but not good enough to "run with the big boys", My wife says I'm too competitive. I really wanted nice QH so we went out and bought the breeding stocks mom (a Western Pleasure breed QH) in foal to a very nice stallion. In April we got a very nice colt with great lines, Oh yea a Paint... So the question to myself is why can't I buy Quarterhorses? My recent horse history, I have owned, riden, and raised horses off and on most my life. I love horses because they are relaxing and a challange at the same time, and no matter how much I think I know they always teach me somthing new. A little off subject with the post, but reading the other post inspired me(?) Alan [/QUOTE]
