you are an awesome cowboy. i bet your family is very proud of you. as a young single women in the early 80s i had to make a living somehow so i got a job as a ranch hand and also ended up doing the same thing as you did. before i knew it i was greenbreaking and training horses all over my part of the country. fast forward and boy i wish i would have been more careful. but i wouldn't change that life for nothing . my son went on to become a good trainer and has a beautiful ranch in TX They just don't make cowboys like us anymore .. thanks for your videos. .
The silver gene reduces the intensity of black pigment. If you noticed, his legs are lighter in color as well, but he is a bay horse. The red pigment is unaffected, and will express normally. Chestnut/sorrel (red) horses can also carry the silver gene, but it won't be noticed because they have no black. (Jan Griffiths).
My apology to anyone who has brought this up before, but the extreme yawning is a sign of submission. Other animals display the same behavior, like our pets. What a good-natured stallion this boy is!
My little mares name was Dandy Flit Bar... she was a ballet dancer of a horse! She just flowed around cattle! She loved cutting and had a great temperament... your stallion is wonderful!!! Thanks for sharing him♥️🙋♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌟‼️
He seems like he hears and smells a mare and wants to do something and is trying to talk the guys into playing or letting him go play with her, so gently though :)
Good God most people's comments on your video are REALLY terribly sad to me! I enjoyed every minute of your video. When I was 18 I bought my 2nd horse to own, care for, and train myself. He was a 22 month old Registered Quarter horse named, Roma Traveler, born June 10, 1974 and he was 14.2 hands tall (perfect for me, I'm 5'3) a sorrel stud with a perfect blazed face, two perfectly matched hind stockings, with a flaxen mane and tail, and damn he was beautiful. Roma lived to be 30 years old. He was absolutely gorgeous just like your stud is, and with almost the same exact disposition! These people criticizing you both for everything in the world need to get a freaking life! He's a really nice stud and you did a great job at showing his abilities and his good and relaxed disposition to me! You're a good trainer, my trainer for my cutting horses was Matlock Rose. I want one of Silver's foals. Seriously. I will be in contact with y'all. I live in East Texas.. Lindale. P.S. The link you provided in the description box isn't working.
Thank you, Your stud sounds like a true gentleman too! You are welcome to email me questions at joel@barJLhorsetraining.com or go to barJLhorsetraining.com/sterling to access the first stages of the breeding application.
I agree with you. I have raised and trained for 50 years. My Silver blue Grillo stud is the same. His mother was triple chick daughter super gentle. Sire HB COOL KAT. He likes cow work and hunting. I breed 3 mares 1 peppy San mare. A daughter of Freckles Ike. A daughter of Highbrow cat. The babies all have had his gentle attitude.
THANK YOU FOR THIS !!!! I can't stress enough, how much it bothers me the number of horses bred with the same bloodlines. Just to say you have that bloodline. Even before this video, I told myself if I ever could afford a horse, I would step outside those bloodlines. There needs to be more to choose from, like this special guy right here. I wouldn't even hesitate after watching this and learning all about this stud, to breed a special mare to him or buy a foal by him. And continue the bloodline, because this stud is incredible & deserves a legacy.
I have a silver bay mini gelding, who looks a lot like Sterling in color. He is 13 years old, 33 inches tall. He is also homozygous, but could only sire colts, no fillies. That's why he's a gelding now. Sterling is absolutely gorgeous, and you're lucky to have such an amazing horse. Hope to see many more silver bay quarter horses in the future. (Jan Griffiths).
Who says that cowboys aren't that bright? This trainer is one of the most well-spoken individuals I've ever listened to, and he sure seems to know his business, and the owner has enough sense to not step on his presentation which has this podcast being a tribute to the integrity and the intelligence of today's cowboys. For what it's worth from a city slicker who now understands that I knew absolutely nothing about horses, good job men.
Stirling your a gorgeous looking stallion with a big neigh. You get what you pay for as well being with your horse everyday to work and play. Thank you
The Quiet Mind.Wow you sound like you are talking about my old pal of 33 yrs,McGee.He was half Morgan half Quarter.Followed me like a dog.had my daughter.at 40,McGee was her best friend. I wish You.Ppl AND.Your Horses the. Best and I am Grateful...Kat,ct.
I had a half Arabian half Quarter horse gelding. He was my heart's horse of a lifetime. Miss him always. He was only 14.3 H, but when I looked at him, my love and esteem saw him as big. He was perfect size for this small woman !
I hear ya! I went to the AQHA Youth Congress with my trainer 30 years ago and was shocked and dismayed by what we saw. We were into the solid tanky looking QH’s, but we were the only ones there with that type. All the horses being campaigned (except our mare) looked like TB’s fresh off the track! People went out of their way to tell my trainer that our horse was too fat! I’ve been too disappointed since then to follow or compete on the QH circuit ever since. 😔
I too like the stocky build of the AQHA, however the bead seems to be going midget. The horse in this video looks to be 14 hands at best. When I was growing up this was considered a pony. I never felt outmanned roping anything off a 15 hand Quarter Horse. Always felt better on the 15.2 guys when roping bulls. This little guy would make me nervous roping a milk cow.
@@markfrancomano2389 There is actually a Quarter Pony registry for the shorties, and back in my day it was quite popular. The average Quarter Horse was less than 16H!
@@ohcliff1030 Now some are 17 hands and over, with lots of TB in their bloodlines, and look more like TBs than QHs. It's a shame really. (Jan Griffiths).

LOL
What I love is that this beautiful stallion is being given a life of mental/physical stimulation and at least is working among other horses, (and hopefully sharing pasture with geldings ). Too many breeding stallions are bored and isolated, only used to breed. Sterling's beautiful mind, personality and size would be perfect for a small woman . Perhaps you might show him with one ? Btw, with his versatility, is he trained for cart and English saddle ? Best of luck to Sterling, his progeny and all in his life !
If I ever had a do over in life it would be to a horse “listener” just like you!!! I’ve already shared this video with a family here in Palmer Alaska looking for a horse for their daughter...
You should definitely check "Kathiawari Horse" its an Indian horse breed and totally resembles the horse shown in this video. Another indian breed called "Sikang" is predecessor of Mustang. If u want the horses I mentioned plz lemme know.
Love the trainer being involved - I am 100% behind his opinion on healthy temperament (and physique) and quiet mind being the most important consideration with a horse (or dog). The dangers involved in getting an unbalanced horse (or dog) are terrifyingly obvs. A healthy body is important if you want a sound horse apart from no pain for them and stress (because of their pain) fewer huge $$$$ veterinarian costs for you. The 'pretty' and 'flashy' are IMO least important. However, a stud owner must guarantee certain things inc a healthy foal (as judged by a vet) for full payment.
Man, I grew up on a farm and ranch in south east New Mexico.... Was raised with horses and donkeys and mules.... He looks amazing, great conformation, little shorter than I am used to for a quarter horse but amazing. We grew them long and lanky.... But like you said they were the 5 to 6 hundred dollar horses. Prolly a little Thoroughbred in there, sometime we had to chase cows a long way. If I was breeding a horse for where i am now I would defiantly be interested. I love his demeaner.... Very calm, like what's next boss.... Or I am board haha. Which can lead to problems if you don't put that mind to work. Over all I will give him a 9.95. Only cause I haven't put hands on him. But I definitely think you have a one in a lifetime....
Mares often control the size of the offspring. So if you use a mare the size you want or larger, the foal is likely to be her size. That doesn't always work, but it will 3 out of 4 times.
Wow! He’s amazing........ I feel an understatement. Are you willing to breed him to AHA? We have a registered Haflinger mare. Her great-grandpa was first Haflinger flown to US from Austria. She also is amazing, kind, gentle, smart, easy keeper! Never spooky, which always fascinating to me. Little Bit is definitely eye candy, she’s majestic looking & only 13.3 hands, which is perfect for my family. I’m 5’2 myself and want my horses safe for everyone. Family horse for sure. I grew up with outstanding Quarterhorses, in Carmel Valley California. When I was 10 I road a palomino Quarterhorse mare, she was 18 had had 2 foals and my parents trusted me to ride her bareback with halter and lead-rope. We live in Coarsegold, California, the Yosemite foothills. God bless you and yours, loved watching your video! 👍💯💜 Watching Sterling with his trainer was extremely impressive!
Yes we are considering the right mare of any breed go to www.barJLHorsetraining.com/sterling and start your application, there is also a space there if you have any more questions. We are looking forward to further discussions about breeding your mare to sterling.
He's 14.2? I figured he was around there, maybe 15 hands at most. I ride a friend's warmblood who's almost 19 hands, but I ride hunter/jumper. Have since I was a kid. (Jan Griffiths).
My wife has a 4yr old Triple registered Buckskin Pearl QH stallion he's only 14 hands, but he's super sweet and you'd never know he's even a stud because she raised him around her mares to have manners. Doc bar, old foundation QH, and a few other lines. He's a lazy potato out of saddle, but he loves attention, food, and trail rides.🤣🤣
Silver seems to be a hypomelanistic color restriction---only affects black color by reducing it, and leaves the red color. I also raise ball pythons, and one of my snakes is like this. Her markings are much lighter than a normal ball python. (Jan Griffiths).
@@BarJLHorseTraining Yeah, I am very interested in genetics, and have done a lot of research. Also bred Sphynx and Siamese cats (all colors). (Jan Griffiths).
So what would be the results of this stallion with a homozygous black roan mare? I love my mare out of a poco mare and sired by Col freckles, incredibly smart, but I’d love to add the quiet nature of this stallion to her babies.
How many hands is this horse? Either these men are VERY tall or this horse is about 14.2 hands...and for anyone who might not know, a lot of the foundation quarter horses were between 14 and 14.2 hands, so they were not the big horses we see now.
A lot of people prefer the older breeds, bloodlines like the Poco blood lines for example. They are good horses but when you train with the older bloodlines then train with the newer bloodlines like High Brow Cat n Pepto bloodlines for example it’s a whole different world. The newer bloodlines are so much easier to train. They tend to learn n retain the training so much faster. The newer breeds are in a class all of their own.
I would be interested if I had either a foundation QH mare, or a TB to breed to him. I only have a mini mare (have 3 minis total--1 gelding , a mare and her yearling filly). My mare did produce a silver black colt 5 years ago. He's a gelding now, and owned by a friend's daughter and her kids. They have a blast driving him. (Jan Griffiths).
Maybe the meaning of foundation stock has changed. I believe that the foundation sires of the Quarter Horse, were alive in the late 1940's and into the 1950's. So to somehow have foundation QH mare she would be around 70 years old. LOL
@@patzeuner8385 There are people who breed foundation AQHA horses. They are often double registered as FQHA (Foundation Quarter Horse Association). "Only horses that are 85% and above Foundation Quarter Horse blood are eligible for FQHA registration." (They limit TB blood to next to none in these horses.)
@@Growmap like I said, the meaning of foundation stock has changed. It really isn't foundation as it was intended years ago. I'm sure the cross bred horses that are currently in the marketplace will eventually become some sort of purebred something.
I agree. It's too hard when horses are tough. This guy looks like a caracter. The horse I mean. So... are you guys tall or is this guy short? Kind regards from Colombia in South America.
Pretty boy. Could you post pictures of his conformation or post a video of him standing square on a flat level surface. His front looks buck-kneed,, but I could be wrong and it could be just the camera angulation.
@@BarJLHorseTraining no thank you, why not update your website to include conformation pics or post a video? Also, I'm very curious why are you charging a 2500 breeding fee when he has no show record, LTE, awards, etc and none of his get are successful in the show world. To me it seems you're breeding him for the wrong reasons 🤷♀️
( using husband's YT account ) There are many other reg . QH studs this color & the variations of what are all termed & recoognzed by the breed as " silver " . UC Davis has done much research on this homozygous color & has often found problems w/ the eyes being able to see well / correctly , regardless of which breed . This guy seems quiet & kind & of course disposition is first & foremost , color second .
I have a homozygous silver bay mini gelding, and he has to have his eyes checked twice a year. So far so good, and he's 13 years old. Hopefully, we'll never have issues with his vision. (Jan Griffiths).
@@douglasgriffiths3534 Interesting & glad you take such good preventive care of your guy . Fortunately , i've had very few issues w/ my ( non-silver ) QH 's , but my Labrador retrievers were often checked for possible hereditary things ( just a couple easily dealt with ) so I understand the concerns . It's good to share our experiences . Hope your gelding continues to do well !
@@eddemoss8228 I hope so too, but if anything shows up later in his life, he will still be loved and cared for and made comfortable. He's a pet, first and foremost. (Jan Griffiths).
Absolutely. He's been checked by a veterinary opthamologist and he does have a reduced field of vision from a normal horse; however, we have also checked many of our single silver carrying horses, none of which have reduced vision. All that this stallion ever produces is single silver gene progeny, because we don't breed him to mares that carry silver.

Yawning in a horse is not a sign of tiredness. In this day and age, there is little excuse for such a misconception. Perhaps you need to read up on this if you wish to be considered a good horseperson? The yawning this horse is exhibiting is not normal behaviour in well adjusted equines. Horses in natural surroundings such as ancient breeds and wild horses do not behave in such a way. therefore, something in your management strategy is not allowing this horse to exhibit hisnatural behaviours. Stabled horses and non socialised horses can behave in this fashion. Stress, nerves and frustrations are voiced in this way by horses. Horses with gastric ulcers and liver problems yawn repeatedly, like your horse is displaying. They can yawn to release tension, or as a by product of muscle tension release. Whatever the reason for your horse to be doing this, it is not from tiredness. Best advice would be to establish why, and change his circumstances to remove his trigger.
I always suspect a broodmare will foal not long after I see one yawn a lot, just presume they are e periencing cramps as foal moves into position and contractions start
@@catherinewoodsellerbeckhor7560 What an interesting observation. I have no broodmares here but will certainly store that away for future contemplation. Thank you.
@Sqrley L. He's shorter than the average AQHA horse, but if he is over 14'2" as they say he is, then he is considered a horse. But he'd be perfect for breeding quarter ponies out of smaller mares. And AQHA horses are shorter now than they were decades ago due to the popularity of certain cutting horse bloodlines.
Not all of them. Some may be 17 hands or more. Unfortunaely many of those have a lot of thoroughbred blood, and look more like thoroughbreds than QHs. (Jan Griffiths).
Is Silver Assured full grown? How old, how tall & what does he weigh? He seems very well dispositioned but looks like a little dink. That's fine in an arena for a couple hours, but I doubt he or his offspring could hold up to packing a full grown man day in, day out.
Quarterback horses are amazing, the always look great. Why did he do that at 6:56? I thought I heard something right before it. Never heard a horsey doing that. He looked pretty scared, poor thing.
LOL...I guess you haven't had any stallions. Mine does that every day when I go out to feed. It always makes me laugh that he talks to the feed buckets like he would to a mare.
Absolutely. He's been checked by a veterinary opthamologist and he does have a reduced field of vision from a normal horse; however, we have also checked many of our single silver carrying horses, none of which have reduced vision. All that this stallion ever produces is single silver gene progeny, because we don't breed him to mares that carry silver.
www.allbreedpedigree.com/silver+assured We are updating the site and will have his papers on the ASAP.. thanks for checking it out, is there any other questions or things you would like to see?
i have been riding horses for well over 50 yrs. been on some very bad so called registered papered horses and some really great grade horses. also been on many different breeds. now that i am a grandma i want my grandchildren to be safe. i raised quarter horses for 30 years and my children rode very well with them.. i bred to a halflinger stud and find that i really like the honesty of the breed. my grandchildren get along great with this mare. In the beginning of my breeding program i did paper and register all my horses. But as time went on I did find that none of my horses could learn to read nor could I get very far trying to ride their papers. Especially on a very windy day. So my question to you is: Do you sell semen for unregistered mares? Or is the talk in the video about family and being safe for kids to be around all just a sales pitch? Im all about the family and when I find a good horse I dont intend to sell it off or get rid of it. I dont have to have papers to tell me i have a great horse. And a great horse is a part of the family whether it can read or not.
We will definitely consider a horse without papers. Go to the link and tell us about your mare! I really do believe every word I said in that video. I have two colts by sterling this spring that I’m planning to keep for my family. I’m riding a daughter of Sterlings right now and she is the same way.
you are an awesome cowboy. i bet your family is very proud of you. as a young single women in the early 80s i had to make a living somehow so i got a job as a ranch hand and also ended up doing the same thing as you did. before i knew it i was greenbreaking and training horses all over my part of the country. fast forward and boy i wish i would have been more careful. but i wouldn't change that life for nothing . my son went on to become a good trainer and has a beautiful ranch in TX
They just don't make cowboys like us anymore .. thanks for your videos. .
Still need to breed to calm quiet mares. Mares temperament is very important she raises the foal.
I totally agree! My foals I have gotten by sterling have always been out of mares I hand picked. It’s exciting.
Sterling reminds me of a chilled out Surfer Dude, down to his sun-bleached out looking mane! LOL! Handsome horse! 🐴💕😘👏👏👏
The silver gene reduces the intensity of black pigment. If you noticed, his legs are lighter in color as well, but he is a bay horse. The red pigment is unaffected, and will express normally. Chestnut/sorrel (red) horses can also carry the silver gene, but it won't be noticed because they have no black. (Jan Griffiths).

Prolly a little Thoroughbred in there, sometime we had to chase cows a long way. If I was breeding a horse for where i am now I would defiantly be interested. I love his demeaner.... Very calm, like what's next boss.... Or I am board haha. Which can lead to problems if you don't put that mind to work. Over all I will give him a 9.95. Only cause I haven't put hands on him. But I definitely think you have a one in a lifetime....
Thanks Brandon!!
Beautiful horse.
He's so cute!
He is a pleasure to be around too.
Perfect size for a heeling horse !
It’s like the horse version of a tiny house!
Not really. That would be a mini horse. I have 3 of them. (Jan Griffiths).
I love the mind that they are building into these Quarter Horses, but could you please start making them man size again?
Mares often control the size of the offspring. So if you use a mare the size you want or larger, the foal is likely to be her size. That doesn't always work, but it will 3 out of 4 times.
Fairly easy to change with height being a consideration when choosing mares to breed to him.
Wow! He’s amazing........ I feel an understatement.
Are you willing to breed him to AHA? We have a registered Haflinger mare. Her great-grandpa was first Haflinger flown to US from Austria. She also is amazing, kind, gentle, smart, easy keeper! Never spooky, which always fascinating to me. Little Bit is definitely eye candy, she’s majestic looking & only 13.3 hands, which is perfect for my family. I’m 5’2 myself and want my horses safe for everyone. Family horse for sure.
I grew up with outstanding Quarterhorses, in Carmel Valley California. When I was 10 I road a palomino Quarterhorse mare, she was 18 had had 2 foals and my parents trusted me to ride her bareback with halter and lead-rope. We live in Coarsegold, California, the Yosemite foothills.
God bless you and yours, loved watching your video! 👍💯💜
Watching Sterling with his trainer was extremely impressive!
Yes we are considering the right mare of any breed go to www.barJLHorsetraining.com/sterling and start your application, there is also a space there if you have any more questions. We are looking forward to further discussions about breeding your mare to sterling.
@@BarJLHorseTraining Many Thanks! I like what I heard and saw from you both. Like your philosophy, like your style. 💯
@@Mainecoon_Izzy Thank you for the kind words!!
Definitely not a QH person. He's pretty, but my god is he short.
14.2. He a good hight for what I like.
@@BarJLHorseTraining That's all that matters! I'm much more partial to the tall and stocky horses myself, but I also don't do QH-esque activities. :)
He's 14.2? I figured he was around there, maybe 15 hands at most. I ride a friend's warmblood who's almost 19 hands, but I ride hunter/jumper. Have since I was a kid. (Jan Griffiths).
@Sqrley L.Why do you feel the need to add "..for a pony"? If he was taller, he wouldn't consider him beautiful anymore?
14.2 is horse size. I love him!
He is just gorgeous!
I totally agree! I love riding him. This link is to the most recent video I made of him.

@@BarJLHorseTraining I bet! Thanks for sharing
My wife has a 4yr old Triple registered Buckskin Pearl QH stallion he's only 14 hands, but he's super sweet and you'd never know he's even a stud because she raised him around her mares to have manners. Doc bar, old foundation QH, and a few other lines. He's a lazy potato out of saddle, but he loves attention, food, and trail rides.🤣🤣
Beautiful horse!
Remember, it costs just as much to feed a good horse as it does a bad one.
Amen.
He is beautiful!
Silver seems to be a hypomelanistic color restriction---only affects black color by reducing it, and leaves the red color. I also raise ball pythons, and one of my snakes is like this. Her markings are much lighter than a normal ball python. (Jan Griffiths).
That’s exactly right. Pretty cool!
@@BarJLHorseTraining Yeah, I am very interested in genetics, and have done a lot of research. Also bred Sphynx and Siamese cats (all colors). (Jan Griffiths).
So what would be the results of this stallion with a homozygous black roan mare? I love my mare out of a poco mare and sired by Col freckles, incredibly smart, but I’d love to add the quiet nature of this stallion to her babies.
Is he working cattle, nice size
How many hands is this horse? Either these men are VERY tall or this horse is about 14.2 hands...and for anyone who might not know, a lot of the foundation quarter horses were between 14 and 14.2 hands, so they were not the big horses we see now.
He is just over 14.2, we are pretty tall
@@BarJLHorseTraining is he foundation?
www.allbreedpedigree.com/silver+assured
A lot of people prefer the older breeds, bloodlines like the Poco blood lines for example. They are good horses but when you train with the older bloodlines then train with the newer bloodlines like High Brow Cat n Pepto bloodlines for example it’s a whole different world. The newer bloodlines are so much easier to train. They tend to learn n retain the training so much faster. The newer breeds are in a class all of their own.
It's called being "born broke". (Jan Griffiths).
Exquisite! But a little short?
I would be interested if I had either a foundation QH mare, or a TB to breed to him. I only have a mini mare (have 3 minis total--1 gelding , a mare and her yearling filly). My mare did produce a silver black colt 5 years ago. He's a gelding now, and owned by a friend's daughter and her kids. They have a blast driving him. (Jan Griffiths).
Maybe the meaning of foundation stock has changed. I believe that the foundation sires of the Quarter Horse, were alive in the late 1940's and into the 1950's. So to somehow have foundation QH mare she would be around 70 years old. LOL
@@patzeuner8385 There are people who breed foundation AQHA horses. They are often double registered as FQHA (Foundation Quarter Horse Association). "Only horses that are 85% and above Foundation Quarter Horse blood are eligible for FQHA registration." (They limit TB blood to next to none in these horses.)
@@Growmap like I said, the meaning of foundation stock has changed. It really isn't foundation as it was intended years ago. I'm sure the cross bred horses that are currently in the marketplace will eventually become some sort of purebred something.
Got to love a horse with a personality 😂
Awesome!
I agree. It's too hard when horses are tough. This guy looks like a caracter. The horse I mean. So... are you guys tall or is this guy short? Kind regards from Colombia in South America.
Good quesion, Alexis! Both of us are over 6 feet tall, so it makes Sterling look shorter.
wow... in total love!!!!! he is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!
He is so neat!
I totally agree! I wish every horse I trained was like him.
How tall is Sterling? He seems short next to you guys. (Jan Griffiths).
Yep, saying the same here. Looks like a pony about 14 h
gorgeous stallion. 14.1 hands?
Pretty close. 14.2
Small
Pretty boy. Could you post pictures of his conformation or post a video of him standing square on a flat level surface. His front looks buck-kneed,, but I could be wrong and it could be just the camera angulation.
Send an email to joel@BarJLHorseTraining.com so I have your contact and I will get you more pics and videos.
Yep
@@BarJLHorseTraining no thank you, why not update your website to include conformation pics or post a video? Also, I'm very curious why are you charging a 2500 breeding fee when he has no show record, LTE, awards, etc and none of his get are successful in the show world.
To me it seems you're breeding him for the wrong reasons 🤷♀️
@@LolatheACS If that's what you think, then this video and horse aren't for you. Thanks for stopping by!
@@LolatheACS he can charge what he wants for whatever reason he wants.
Lovely horse ! Very, very bright and sweet ! What is his height please ?
Ok this is a nice stallion with some rare color genes. What would a baby cost from him, or a stud fee ??
www.barjlhorsetraining.com/sterling-breeding-application1620235770567
Feel free to drop us a line too, Kim!
Looks like he has good feet too. Nice job.
I agree.
Good feet, good bone, proper alignment of the bones into strong joints...
Honestly under 4k a year is actually a fair bit less than I thought it would be.
You guys are extra tall or that is one small horse. Do you breed Welch or hackny also.?
We will consider any breed. Go to www.barJLhorsetraining.com/sterling to apply
He is 14.2
Well then you guys ARE tall !😊
( using husband's YT account ) There are many other reg . QH studs this color & the variations of what are all termed & recoognzed by the breed as " silver " . UC Davis has done much research on this homozygous color & has often found problems w/ the eyes being able to see well / correctly , regardless of which breed . This guy seems quiet & kind & of course disposition is first & foremost , color second .
I have a homozygous silver bay mini gelding, and he has to have his eyes checked twice a year. So far so good, and he's 13 years old. Hopefully, we'll never have issues with his vision. (Jan Griffiths).
@@douglasgriffiths3534 Interesting & glad you take such good preventive care of your guy . Fortunately , i've had very few issues w/ my ( non-silver ) QH 's , but my Labrador retrievers were often checked for possible hereditary things ( just a couple easily dealt with ) so I understand the concerns . It's good to share our experiences . Hope your gelding continues to do well !
@@eddemoss8228 I hope so too, but if anything shows up later in his life, he will still be loved and cared for and made comfortable. He's a pet, first and foremost. (Jan Griffiths).
Absolutely. He's been checked by a veterinary opthamologist and he does have a reduced field of vision from a normal horse; however, we have also checked many of our single silver carrying horses, none of which have reduced vision. All that this stallion ever produces is single silver gene progeny, because we don't breed him to mares that carry silver.
Too small. He's a pony. Love his color & mind.
He's just over 14.2. He's a horse. (Jan Griffiths).
AQHA. He is a horse. Pony isn't just about size.
@Sqrley L. any horse 14.2 and up is considered a horse any under 14.2 is considered a pony,unless you live downunder.
What happens when you breed him to a perlino mare?
Perlino is a double crème dilute with a bay base, it would 100% be a silver buckskin
@@BarJLHorseTraining i have that AQHA perlino mare ❤️🔥⚡️ what im saying is… that would be fire🔥
Beautiful stallion with a great temperament and looks like a little gymnast. Bit short for me.
I have never heard a horse make donkey sounds lol!
I think 14.2 is stretching it. Looks like a quarter pony.
He actually is a half-inch inch over 14.2 So it wasn’t really a stretch.
I’m interested, I found no button? Could you please send more info?

Little stallion!
Yawning in a horse is not a sign of tiredness. In this day and age, there is little excuse for such a misconception. Perhaps you need to read up on this if you wish to be considered a good horseperson?
The yawning this horse is exhibiting is not normal behaviour in well adjusted equines. Horses in natural surroundings such as ancient breeds and wild horses do not behave in such a way. therefore, something in your management strategy is not allowing this horse to exhibit hisnatural behaviours. Stabled horses and non socialised horses can behave in this fashion. Stress, nerves and frustrations are voiced in this way by horses. Horses with gastric ulcers and liver problems yawn repeatedly, like your horse is displaying. They can yawn to release tension, or as a by product of muscle tension release.
Whatever the reason for your horse to be doing this, it is not from tiredness. Best advice would be to establish why, and change his circumstances to remove his trigger.
I always suspect a broodmare will foal not long after I see one yawn a lot, just presume they are e periencing cramps as foal moves into position and contractions start
@@catherinewoodsellerbeckhor7560 What an interesting observation. I have no broodmares here but will certainly store that away for future contemplation. Thank you.
@@payntpot7623 I agree with Catherine. When your mare starts yawning, her foal will be arriving soon. (I used to foal out about 20 mares a year.)
He looks way too big to be riding a horse that small though?
@Sqrley L. He's shorter than the average AQHA horse, but if he is over 14'2" as they say he is, then he is considered a horse. But he'd be perfect for breeding quarter ponies out of smaller mares. And AQHA horses are shorter now than they were decades ago due to the popularity of certain cutting horse bloodlines.
The stallion; " YAWWWWWN!!! o boy, these two cowboys are so, really booooring hehehehe".
Haha yeah, he would of been working if we weren’t filming so he was enjoying the break lol
@@BarJLHorseTraining : movve on then.
Move in then. Talk moving
Gives good information and i can keep it on the down low.
Move in then?
Quarter horses are tiny. He looks so sweet.
Not all of them. Some may be 17 hands or more. Unfortunaely many of those have a lot of thoroughbred blood, and look more like thoroughbreds than QHs. (Jan Griffiths).
No this horse is smaller than an average Quarter horse.
The statue on the left is that Ryan? Why is he even there?
He's a registered Quarter horse he seems very small. What is 13 hands?
How many hand is this handsome stallion?
14.2
Is Silver Assured full grown? How old, how tall & what does he weigh?
He seems very well dispositioned but looks like a little dink. That's fine in an arena for a couple hours, but I doubt he or his offspring could hold up to packing a full grown man day in, day out.
How tall are these two Fellaz?...
Is this horse 14 hands?
The horse is 14.2
@@BarJLHorseTraining Thanks!! ya he looked on the little side.
I had a Quarter filly with the Bar B Bar pedigree..she was the BEST horse I ever had!! Miss my lil Chancy Lee Bar..
Quarterback horses are amazing, the always look great. Why did he do that at 6:56? I thought I heard something right before it. Never heard a horsey doing that. He looked pretty scared, poor thing.
He's a stallion. Maybe a mare was in the vicinity. He was "talking" to her. (Jan Griffiths).
LOL...I guess you haven't had any stallions. Mine does that every day when I go out to feed. It always makes me laugh that he talks to the feed buckets like he would to a mare.
@@Growmap My mini gelding used to be my stallion. He was rather quiet. My old TB stud--completely different story. (Jan Griffiths).
I'm curious how many hands is he is he even 14 hands or are both of you guys really tall?
He is 14.2. We are just tall haha
He looks to be a very small horse but beautiful
When training him you aren't using any leg protection in the front or the rear? If he happens to knock himself then you will be sorry
Looks like my duaghter's rocky mountain
Are you not concerned about MCOA?
Absolutely. He's been checked by a veterinary opthamologist and he does have a reduced field of vision from a normal horse; however, we have also checked many of our single silver carrying horses, none of which have reduced vision. All that this stallion ever produces is single silver gene progeny, because we don't breed him to mares that carry silver.
Nice little pony, but now I need a nap.
how tall is this guy
14.2HH
Where's his bloodlines? I only saw his stud fee and that he hadn't been shown.

We are updating the site and will have his papers on the ASAP.. thanks for checking it out, is there any other questions or things you would like to see?
@@BarJLHorseTraining thank you!
How did you get the mane and tail that color
i have been riding horses for well over 50 yrs. been on some very bad so called registered papered horses and some really great grade horses. also been on many different breeds. now that i am a grandma i want my grandchildren to be safe. i raised quarter horses for 30 years and my children rode very well with them.. i bred to a halflinger stud and find that i really like the honesty of the breed. my grandchildren get along great with this mare. In the beginning of my breeding program i did paper and register all my horses. But as time went on I did find that none of my horses could learn to read nor could I get very far trying to ride their papers. Especially on a very windy day. So my question to you is: Do you sell semen for unregistered mares? Or is the talk in the video about family and being safe for kids to be around all just a sales pitch? Im all about the family and when I find a good horse I dont intend to sell it off or get rid of it. I dont have to have papers to tell me i have a great horse. And a great horse is a part of the family whether it can read or not.
We will definitely consider a horse without papers. Go to the link and tell us about your mare! I really do believe every word I said in that video. I have two colts by sterling this spring that I’m planning to keep for my family. I’m riding a daughter of Sterlings right now and she is the same way.
Kelly, drop me a line if you'd like to discuss further.
Is he a pony or are you guys 7 feet tall?
