As always. You are giving awesome information. The horses I have I buy from one breeder and her horses are highly foundation breed. All registered with the FQHA and amazing horses. Extremely cowy and great minds. You right on the ball when you say know the breeding. Thank you 🙏
I picked the 50/1 winner Nobel Yeats of the Aintree 2022 Grand National based on it's sire having won the Ascot Gold Cup a record 4 times, so yes pedigrees are key
Great topic for a video. Not many people get into the bloodline conversation on youtube. I couldn’t agree more with you on bloodline. Many times I have heard people say papers aren’t important with dogs and horses. I understand someone not registering a gelding that they intend to keep. However it is important to know what you are getting if you are the buyer.
A lot of the quarter horse owners have gotten wise to what you’re discussing. They formed foundation quarter horse associations, that means they had to be traceable back to some of the initially registered quarter horses before it became fashionable to introduce thoroughbred blood into the mix. It’s supposed to be about saving some of the traits that made the quarter horse the go to horse for ranch work etc... personally, we have all foundation bred horses, and I can see the benefit to this line of thinking.
Loved your talk today on bloodlines. When I purchased my horse I couldn’t have cared less. My gelding is the most laidback guy, opposite of fast or skittish. On his papers he has Zippo Pine Bar. Zippopotamas and Pepsi Poco. Explains everything 😊Thanks
There's always been thoroughbred in the QH breed. Three Bars was a TB and a foundation sire. But imo AQHA is allowing too much TB in. The QH/TB cross is called and appendix QH and the papers are a different color. If that horse is bred it has to be to a non appendix horse. But here's the kicker: that horses sire could've been appendix so you're getting lots of close generation TB. What pains me about the breed now is all of the specialty stuff. The English types are over 16 hands, halter horses don't stay sound to ride with 000 feet and I could go on. The breed has lost much of what made it great: the versatility. Bitd (I'm 56) you could do halter, pleasure, rope and run barrels off the same horse and do well. Btw your horse would top out at 14.2 or smaller but be a tank. The hottest thing going now is ranch horse versatility so that should show AQHA that we want to go back to that type horse.
I agree with not bothering doing the paper work on a Horse that they say is a purebred. How can you ever really know 💭 You explaining how to look for certain traits and personality, is the best way . Like you said , People have behavior personalities usually like one or both of their parents . I was never raised by my own dad . He went to Heaven when I was 2. But I have been told , I am just like him . The wonder of God’s Hand in our lives , is so amazing to me . What my Dad wasn’t able to do , God found a way through me , And you are right , that breeding a German Shepherd to a Golden Retriever, cannot be sold as a German Shepherd. Laura 💜 Bear 🐴💜
Dewayne, it is good to see another video, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I have yet to try a Partagas, I'll have to track one down and give it a shot. I'm hoping to be in your neck of the woods this October, fall time in that part of the country is beautiful. Thanks again, all the best.
Very interesting discussion. I've always been interested in horses, but other than a couple of Shetland ponies I had as a kid, I've never owned any. I've not had the time or resources to do so. I did help a friend show his Leopard Appaloosa at the Houston Livestock Show a couple of times. All I recall of the bloodlines was one gelding he had was a grandson of Joker B and his filly was from a horse called Cherries Jubilee I think. What I recall most is that my friend really shouldn't have been allowed to have horses at all. He didn't have the patience with them that was needed and did a lot more harm than good. I guess I had a decent eye for horses because one year we were watching the Appaloosa auction and my friend asked me to pick the one I'd buy, hypothetically of course. I picked a yearling stud that was a really flashy black with a white blanket, high head and lots of spring in his step. He sold for $5000. That was 1978 and a pretty good price for a yearling. I've often wondered what happened to that Colt. He sure was handsome. Thanks for your channel. I really enjoy it.
Hi sir my name is Maximo Sanchez I currently subscribe to you I know nothing about horses but I really enjoy how informative your channel is please continue you sir are a dying breed America's true cowboy
Another great video Dwyane. Nailed it as far as I'm concerned. l raised and broke a lot of Hancock's. Tough, stay sound, good minded, and just straight up real reliable . Great ranch horses. That's breeding and bloodlines right there.
Thank yall for doing such amazing videos. I haven't had horses for the past 2 years cause I'm in the service right now but soon as I get out I hope to get me a place and some good horses and settle down.
You coat your blessings you are of a particular age you know a lot of people wish they could get up and get out and be in that weather anywhere you don't your blessings, young man.
I like your analogy 😀 Love your channel, look forward to your videos. I'm an old cowgirl in my 70s and love evey bit of your content . I had a beautiful appaloosa, was my old gal.
Hi Dewayne. I immediately noticed the leather handle cover and that you were holding a cigar before you said anything about them. Two things that I love are cast iron and cigars. Thanks for the interesting information about the bloodlines. Looking forward to the next video. Say hi to your wife.
HOLY! You’re offering school?! Gosh…. I’m a little forlorn about having to leave Prague but it would cheer me up to go to your school someday ! Just gotta get through the last bit of college :)
Great video as always! My favorite videos are the cigar videos. How about having Momma do a video on the cigars she likes? Anyway-thanks for the great content!
You have a lot of good information Dwyane. I'm down to a nice calm but tough gelding out of a Poco Bueno mare that I had from a foal. She was good natured and so is the gelding. I can't think of the stallion name because the lady never got the paperwork to me. But I like the old style quater horse. Paper don't make the hoss. You make them unless they are just too wired. I like your videos and mama is a good woman. Keep up the videos
Well... I tend to think of them bloodlines like wiring. sometimes it like sharp as control panels wiring diagram other times axel wrap... That skillet leather is slick...great idea. Unless I'm mistaken... Careful with that percolator the viewing glass is made of plastic and will melt into your coffee I ended up taking a couple of swallows in mine before I figured out the brew was toxic. Now... I'm wonderin' if my control panels gone haywire or if I'm on par with my clock work... I'm not sure which idear I prefer.
That's interesting--makes me curious about the Thoroughbred registry. I worked at Ruidoso Downs and Remington Park for a couple of seasons to get some varied experience with lots of different horses. The trainer I worked for that trained Thoroughbreds got some 2 yr. olds in to condition, and one of them I swear was a mis-labeled draft horse. We nicknamed him Little Huey, LOL, he was enormous--nearly 17 hands already, huge neck and hooves the size of dinner plates. He was such a handful it sometimes took three of us to bathe him. He wasn't mean, he was just full of himself, a big old galoot. We worked hard to get his groundwork done, get him started under saddle and get some manners on him--I loved him, but it was terrible hard to get his weight down to racing trim. I really think Huey (don't remember his registered name) had some strong draft blood in him. Good video, Dwayne, thank you!
Interesting you brought up Justin Morgan. When I was a kid, my Dad bought this flashy little horse at the auction (he knew the former owner) and brought him home. He was just a joy to look at. Dad went and dug out this book he had on horse breeds, and we went and compared this horse to the book--he was definitely Morgan or Morgan-bred. Deep, deep blood red line-back bay with faint golden dapples across his hips, high tail-set. A little extra at the poll, and a shapely head with big soft eye. Could be a bit spicy, LOL, but if he got exited--he'd flag that tail like an Arab and boy the leg action on that boy, naturally gaited! Such a breath-taking sight. Really miss that horse.
Hey Dwayne, try partagas #10, not a strong cigar but verrry flavourful, I am a 6x60 guy but I make an exception for this cigar. I am cigar rich and horse poor 🤣 which I intend on rectifying some.
I'm new to your channel. I realy enjoy your content. Could you do a video on types of horses such as mare,gelding, stallion, etc. Thank you, keep up great work.
Thanks for informative video. As always lots of wisdom there. Since you recently acquired some new horses and a mule for your stable/school what are some of the mannerisms you look for in a horse after learning his blood line. I'm curious about herd dynamics in selecting a horse. Is the most dominant horse in the herd the one to look closely about? Is the more timid bottom of the hierarchy one to think about? Does this even come into play when you assess your new horse? Thanks in advance.
I'd be curious to know also, is there a bloodline or personality trait that would be a "hard stop" or definite "no". Just curious. My cousin breeds Polish Arabians (straight Cabbett), and her best friend had a gorgeous Egyptian stud--just drop-dead gorgeous. Damned Egyptian stud would have colic every other month, nearly died several times while I lived down there, and every single foal of his had the same problem. By the time I met her, he had no living progeny, they had all died of colic. My cousin's studs produced fine offspring with no health issues. I don't know if there's any such thing as "hereditary colic" but if there is, that Egyptian stud had it, LOL.
Great content Duane. For what you do and what you need, I invite you to check out the American Blazer Horse. I owned one for 24 years and am a lifetime member of the breed association and served on their board.
I would love to hear what blood lines you have found that works for you as a good reliable trail riding horse for a beginner / novice adult. Back in the 90's, I found myself teaching riding lessons to beginners and finding their 1st horse. I kept a folder of keepers and No No's registration papers, wondering if their would be any consistent pattern to the blood lines. Ironically, Jet Deck and Top Moon. Showed up quite a bit. As keepers. And Skipper W. But Hancock,McCue or any of the Doc O Lena's or halter bloodlines, Two Eyed Jack, were either too smart or too tough or could buck. But this was before AQHA went extreme with too much Thoroughbred. And before before the internet. I shopped the Sunday Newspaper want Ads. I was pretty limited to a small area not much to choose from.
Probably the most successful bloodline I have found for a good reliable trail horse for a beginner or novice has been Zippo Pine Bar. I’ve also had some very good Leo bred horses. I really like the Leo bloodline, especially if the mare goes back to Leo. I have found that any of the iterations of Doc Bar can be iffy for the novice. It’s not always true but often they are kind a hot, which is not unfounded seeing that they were bred to be athletes.
Sir. As soon as i go back to USA i will buy myself a ( Dewayne sampler pack ) - Brick house maduro -Partagas black label - Oliva V - Charter oak - Kentucky fire cured Muwat 🔥👍💥
I've always been a papered Quarters Horse guy Dewayne, very interesting info, but I've been out of it for awhile and didn't know this happened over the years with that rule change you mentioned about Thoroughbreds being introduced. What's your thoughts on the Appaloosa Breed? I had nice Appaloosa Mare once, I'd to train her myself for what wanted in a horse, liked her because she was very smart, and easily trained with a little bit of work, called her one of my best creations yet, I bred her to a Quarter Horse, raised that foal and then sold them both. She was only 7-1/2 years old when I sold her to a young lady, and sold the foal a colt too another lady, they both tell me from time to time how great both horses are. Couldn't get the mare papered because the father died, but looking at her blood lines for Appaloosa's she had some pretty good blood in her. I did all the above for a challenge so I could put that down as part of my achievements with horses. Thanks for another great and informative video.
I remember when all the apps looked like apps: broom tails, great big feet, big heads and they all had color and that fantastic shuffle gait. Sadly those things have been mostly bred out of them, but some smaller breeders are once again breeding for those qualities. I used to say for toughness and longevity, if I couldn't have a mule I'd have an appy.
Hello Wade! Thank you for the video! what would be the benefits of a foundation quarter horse over the more synthetic processed cutting/reining quarter horse breeds. I have small ranch and focus on ranching an trail ridding. Always appreciate your time and videos -T
I used to ride for a ranch here in CA that has a lot of Doc Bar blood. I've been out of the horse game for a while, but trying to get back in. Would you say for a regular old trail horse knowing the bloodlines is as important as a working ranch horse?
What you say regarding the quarter horse/thoroughbred cross breeding is correct in a manner of speaking. If one studies quarter horse breeding, they would find that all quarter horses have thoroughbred blood. Even all foundation quarter horses have thoroughbred ancestry. I would agree that if you are just starting this equine journey, the farther you can get from an appendix QH, the better. A few generations down the line might suit you better.
You also have to take into account that 100 years ago, when horses were bred to work the types of thoroughbred that were selected to be used on QH/ranch mares were quite different than what is used today to breed a QH/TB cross show horse for the hunter under saddle show ring. I'm fairly certain that even among purebred TBs you find individuals that make really good ranch and using horses.
@@petrairene I just commented earlier on the Thoroughbred thing. Worked at Remington Park years ago, one of the 2 yr. old we got in was enormous--already almost 17 hands and huge feet, great big neck on him. LOL, we nicknamed him "Little Huey". I swear that horse was a mis-labeled draft horse. Not sure they ever made a good race horse out of him, don't think he tracked well, he'd probably do much better as a saddle trail horse or under harness. He was a hand-full, not mean but just full of himself and a little goofy. Loved that big old galoot.
Morning sir, love your videos just wondering what town are you close to just trying to figure out where you are located I live on Mississippi and Tennessee line just how close we where to y’all, thanks…
I don't know what none of this means but you're fascinating as hell I just inherited some crap I don't know what it is suddenly keep it or what this man is in a whole another nationality.
What about if you're adopted night you get a horse through inheritance for you to trust to tell you about that. But the paperwork said another language this seems like this is going to be too much work
Very late to this video, but I have a quarter type horse who isn't registered, but I swear he has thoroughbred or something in him. Maybe paint too. He's not spicy but he's big... 15.3, lean, and a brown/white pinto color. Sharky withers too. I keep thinking about DNA testing him through Texas A&M, but I just haven't done it yet.
Did you know that the Camargue horse is the most antique one in Europe and the line goes throught the mare. If a Camargue stallion mates with a non Camargue mare anything can come out, but if a Camargue mare mates with any other stallion the foal will only be full blood Camargue. The line goes through the Camague mare.
I'll be totally honest I don't know anything about horses I've only been around them a few times and have only been on a few rides. So can someone educate me on what a quarter horse is and they difference between it and a thoroughbred and why a lot of people say you don't really want to ride a stud horse?
You know I already caught with my friends they they got to see you you are a man's man we don't know nothing about that except my grandfathers and their dad some of them didn't even know that Grandpa not me love myself my great great grandpa and my grandma
Kinda along this topic are the people that just ride on weekends that buy ranch horses. Then they're surprised when their horse is broncy because they paid out the nose for a broke ranch horse. Ranch horses are worked 6-7 days a week and most are turned out. They don't stand up getting tons of feed and ridden on weekends. As Duane said, Hancock horses are famous for being broncy if they don't get worked 4-5 days a week.
Funny how much everything is influenced by bloodlines. I use to raise gamecocks and often found that the pure bloods were often the less of 2 for the show but sometimes you find that 1 that's a gift from God but in the chicken world I always found the hen to be more important to the rooster
Not your wish disappoint me but I had to cancel last year and if you don't want radiation stop as soon as possible in that way you can scan to or just came up there and he's losing all your hair and if you have any mustache or hair on your face and relaxing time doesn't grow anymore it's really weird I just looked at the plus put it all you know I mean that fatigue you know it was scary you know but I used to walk around bed I don't know how I'm not dying in this bed and I'm going to walk out of here and I did thanks to father Elohim Christ and the holy Spirit I hope you be as lucky my friend.
Once you get to a particular eggs doesn't your back in your testicles bother you you can tell I have been around me running around them once and that or smells cancer and it was right ever since then they creep me the hell out why am I here because I want to learn a little bit why I mean you would think that was a blessing and actually it was I made it
My background in breeding Rottweilers for the AKC show ring has given me a fair knowledge of breed conformation and temperament, same as horses. Try as I might over the years, I can't talk sense into people about what breed might be the best fit for their lifestyle situation. There are always exceptions with animals, of course. But you can't fix stupid people.
They were severe with my brothers but they were severe with me because I took that squirrel youngest child to extreme that's why they left everything to me my brothers and sisters are so stupid I would do things but I never got caught that's the sign of a stupid child no I've inherited all of this crap but I do have a soft spot for animals and and I wouldn't want to put them somewhere where they were going to be mistreated after living this last time I rather just keep them.
Very interesting! Guard dogs like Cane Corsos! It's all in their bloodline! These dogs are born to protect! You better know exactly what you're doing with these dogs! 700 psi bite its more than a lion! In my opinion these are the perfect guardian dogs in the world! Very easy to train ! Wake up America
That's a nice way of saying that I've never heard that but that nice I was told opinions are like assholes everybody has didn't really care for the person you would say yours no wait I got that wrong between yours and Mars's your stink yeah that's hey this is been enlightening I want to look at some more thank you my entertainment especially watching your pants I was fascinating I'm in California I told you
Does it sounds racist or maybe that's just your book I made it that's just because I'm a family and I still shittery feeling about white people well I lost all my credibility as if I care
