Are you living in Charleston?  I see in your profile that you are from Texas.
I know the Charleston area is very happy to be the newest Boeing plant location.

I worked for a guy back in the '80s that had a bunch of very good cutting horses.  His stud's breeding eludes me know, but I know it's daddy was a World Champion.  This guy's name is Jack Marvel and he lives in Rodney Michigan.  I'm not even sure if he's still around in the cutting biz.  He used to have Michigan events at his place back then too.

All I know is that when, in that previous life, we would go to the Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus every year, I'd always have to go watch the cutting and reining horses.  In my mind this was more horse based than political.  Although I'm sure some politics played into the reining but cuttings was more black and white, did the horse do it's job or not...

During the time I was around horses, I rode a bit and was Michigan Amateur Champion one year in reining (trust me I say my competition was worse than I was and I wan't very good).  When I left that preious life I didn't want to ever sit my arse on another horse.

My son is keeping his head above water right now, but I can't see him every really getting rich doing this.  But he does love it very much and I guess if you can do something you're great at and love it at the same time, I'm not going to rain on his parade.

 :)  :)  :)

You never know in the Horse Trading business. Last week I bought a Yearling stud colt out of the great Color Me Smart. The NCHA Futurity in Ft Worth has several sales. This little colt was very late in the auction and I gave $2200 for him. The seller was talking about $10,000 being what he figured he would bring during preview. I just got lucky that the one I was after was very late on the auction block and everyone was out of money :orange:

I'll probably make him a gelding and turn him into a Reined Cowhorse. I should be able to put a year on him and if he shows well get $10 - $12,000 for him. That is speculative, risky, a lot of work ...........I LOVE EVERY SECOND
