...The growth of today's barrel racing industry, brought on by high paying barrel races and futurities, has created a shortage of high quality prospects.  This has caused barrel racers to realize that having the proper bloodlines in barrel horses is just as important as having them in cutting horses, race horses, reining horses, halter or pleasure horses.  They discovered that good pedigrees gave them the conformation, athletic ability and speed that was neccesary in their horses to have them win in today's tough competition.....

  ...On the whole, novice riders have been able to successfully compete and win on Leo and Jet Deck-bred horses, so those pedigrees have proven to be outstanding....

  We think that there are many reasons for you to consider breeding to "Sly".   For further information on pedigree analysis and research we recommend the following articles:  Blood Lines and Pedigrees...Inbreeding and  Reading a Pedigree by Larry Thornton, and Heart of the Matter by Marianna Haun.
  Sly will stand to a limited number of outside mares for the 2009 breeding season.  His 2009 breeding fee is $750, please call for details.  Special consideration will be given to producing mares and to folks like us...go figure.  If you raise them to ride them then we are running down the same street.
    "Sly" had a good year in 2003.  Having already earned his ROM in reining, he added to the list with ROMs in Barrel Racing and Pole Bending.  He also qualified for the Wisconsin Rodeo Cowboys Association Sate Finals, and won Two Category Championships at the World Wide Paint Horse Congress.  And he's only seven...
Sly has 14 crosses to Peter McCue....
