My little sister owned two horses years ago. Between feeding, training, riding, cleaning stalls, shots, worming, and yes an occasional injury, she spent a lot of time taking care of them. She loved every minute.

You know why Indians always rode paints and Appaloosa’s?
So they’d be good and pizzed by the time they got to the battle.
Been around stock since I could walk and was a law around our place not to ever waste good grain on a paint or an APP

I can’t argue with you, they have been a handful. The girls started with those two paint horses that had been pasture pets for over 10 years and never ridden. It was a dogfight for them to get them trained which is what I wanted. Once they got them right they got good old QHs and my oldest was like dad, these horses are SO much easier to work with.... Lmao!!

Smartest horse I've ever had. Easiest horse I've ever started. Smoothest horse I've ever ridden. Too light in the britches to make a head horse, I'm not a healer. Made a great cow horse. Sired by Color Me Smart. Mare side has Sea Biscuit on papers. I've had many full QH and Paints. I've never seen any difference in temperament. Apps are another story.

That’s good to hear ReelSlow. My girls have those paints lined out as I said but people keep telling us they’re terrible.... I think some operator/rider error comes into play. Guys I grew up with that had ranches around Sterling City used to dog paint horses as well so who knows.

I know one thing, if I had the $ I’ve put into horses and horse related items for the last 5 years I could buy any bass boat on the market cash money.... I’m sure y’all can relate to that.

Toaster, I don't know many Cowboys that work on the back of a horse that give a hoot QH or Paint. A lot of hobby horse folks hear someone talk about Paints in that vein and it sticks on them and they pass it on. Seriously, Paints are pretty much a QH with too much color to qualify for QH registration. I'm no breeding / genetics expert by any stretch, but pretty much every Cowboy I know will tell you the best color for a horse is whatever color a good horse comes in. Temperament is a difficult trait to predict unless you really really know the temperament of both the Sire and Mare and have witnessed the results of the breeding over time.
good luck Bud

Thanks, they are doing great here and the girls really enjoy them. Funny how things seem to stick after people say them enough. I judge animals the same as people and retain judgement until I form my own opinion. I coached 6 years before defecting to the oil field and if I learned anything that’s the most important take away.

Never heard it told that way. What I was always kidded about was the reason Indians rode paints was, they were the only horses slow enough for them to catch on foot.

Just curious but how do you guys rate Arabians? Same as a Brazilian, but with more sand in their hair. Both infinitely better than the Dutch.
