[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 3230"] Beth, My hubby and kids and I do the same thing. We try to do it with the younger (3 or less) ones that the owner needs to get "rid" of quickly,,,usually for health reasons. I have a now 2 yr old overo Paint gelding that I bought at eight months old,,,both sire and maternal grandsire have superiors in HUS and WP and both have ROMs in trail, barrel racing, reining and points in halter and a few others.
