I have a reined cow horse that the second I climbed in the saddle, instantly knew I wanted him! Got him for $8500 and I would not take a million for him. When you have a good horse, you keep them. Mine is VERY well bred, his Dad is Smart Chic Olena...he is amazing, but all that aside, he is special to me. I love him, not for what he can do, but for the incredible horse he is. This is a great story, and insight into the horse trader world.
Thanks for sharing your story.. do hope your knee is healing well... after both my knees needed replacing....i know how important physical therapy is. My best to you. Gorgeous horse by the way !
Love the story. I was interested in an endurance horse years ago… she had a good endurance record, way of going, conformation, and attitude. I paid to lease her for 30 days to see if we really got on well together and we did. A Farrier who knew her before, said she always struggled with staying sound, so I ended up passing on her even though she was in work and was currently sound. I thought I had the inside scoop. Somebody from the Middle East came and paid top dollar for her and shipped her over there… ended up making some great rides on her at FEI levels (way higher than I complete). I almost had her for the cost of peanuts, but I blew it- ha.
@@ltrocha In the end the horse accidentally claimed his own value therefore creating his own future security. So many artists say that sculpture was already there in that piece of stone I just removed the unwanted bits to reveal what already three. Many humans don’t have that opportunity. This video has a lot of humanity in it if you really listen Thanks Larry for posting it.
That's a really GREAT story, Larry. Man, you can't make this kind of stuff up! And that palo is just a beautiful horse. I'm happy he turned out to be everything you thought he was. PS That "gut feeling" you talk about is real. Our stomach anatomy is almost identical to our brain anatomy with the same shared neurons. A few years ago, when we were cavemen and cavewomen, the brain in our stomach was more highly developed as we relied on it to kill our food. Over time, the brain in our head became more developed, but the "feelings" in our gut remained. You were smart to follow your gut! :-)
Larry what do you feed your performance horses ? as opposed to pleasure horses ? also what do you use to clean and oil your tack ? I just found your video's and really enjoy them . My parents started me riding when i was around 3 and I'am 70 now and can't get on a horse but I raise them and train them to halter then sell them . Thank you Ricky
Hi Ricky, Easy keepers get grass hay. Hard keepers get alfalfa. Both get Safe Choice 3 times a week. Cutting horse trainers don't clean their tack : ). Oil with olive oil. Glad you like the videos.
Cool story. I just saw a filly that gave me that guy feeling you were talking about. But turned out he had a slight parrot mouth. Do you have any experience with that? Thanks!
Hey, Larry, you ask Billy Phariss or his dad Jack if a horse is for sale and both of them will respond, "They are all for sale!". Ask me how I know...Problems with the papers? Yeah, no surprise there...
So, you called him a gelding at one point, then you said he was a stallion, so I thought you were going to say the guy you bought him from had him gelded and you didn't find out til too late. But, anyhoo ... wow! you were so busted when that guy and his family showed up. ha ha! But then you're in a pickle bc YOU'RE the one who helped the horse out of his fear. Oh, man! Crazy! At least you got to keep the horse and had your chance to compete in the big show. Thanks for telling the story. There's a movie in there, somewhere.
I think that horse is yours by destiny , much too sad what had happenned to your knee , just before the big time , I hope you are all right now Boss , ...A beautiful horse by the way , greetings
I'm in Southern Oregon and I'm trying to find a good cutting horse trainer. Do you know of any? This is just for sport and fun. Not for any other reason.
Why did you cut him sense he was so great . May have been a good producer stud also . I've seen an old style qt. horse stud that looked like a big fat standard bred pony , but through modern type qts. that won big !!?
A contract should have written out prior to accepting the horse, including reimbursement for what boarding, upkeep and training would have cost this guy should you not take him. The seller wasn't being very fair, your time is worth something. Now the lady has a supposed claim on him. That $2k for his papers should have been deducted from the 9k price.
Thanks for your feedback, Cheryl. Unfortunately, a contract is only as good as the people who sign it. And most won't sign one. Plus you spend thousands of dollars going to court. Usually, not worth the trouble.
@@ltrocha true on a person's character, but this likely would have been a "Small Claims" issue given the amount, and usually handled in one session. A contract is supposed to keep people out of court, 😉by each informing the other as to their expectations. Anyway it was a good story and a lovely horse. Have a nice day!!
The first opportunity for negotiations; “I’ll take the horse for 30 days. If I decide to buy him, the price is $3,500”, agreed”? If so, we’ll write it up.

Great story Larry you are a joy to watch

Smart Chic Olena is one of the best sires. I've ridden two of his stud colts. Both were awesome.
@@ltrocha I agree! My boy is an amazing horse for sure!!
Had to listen again! 😂. You are giving out trader secrets. Lol. He is a nice horse!
Every time I watch your videos I learn something new. Thanks for everything you do for the people that want to learn about horses.
Thank you. I'm happy to do it.
that is a gorgeous horse...so interesting to watch him work !
Thanks for sharing your story.. do hope your knee is healing well... after both my knees needed replacing....i know how important physical therapy is. My best to you.
Gorgeous horse by the way !
Thank you Pamela. My knee is now fine.
Yes we have a deal !
Great story, he's a beautiful horse. Looks like he ended up exactly where he was meant to be.
Hi Lauren, I agree. I'm glad I got him.
Thanks for sharing the story. Glad you are on the mend. It's always hard to know if the offer is good, when your horse has so much potential.
Hi Sibyl, Thanks a bunch for your feedback

Yes, that happens sometimes
Lll
Hi Larry. Love your videos! You might not remember me…Dave Collins. We met at Harlan Radomskies in Elensburg Wash. many years ago!
This is a great story about having al, the same human emotion we all have.
Thanks

@@ltrocha 😂😂😂
Beautiful horse!
Thanks Meri
@@ltrocha you're so welcome :)
Love the story... learned lesson "when you see something or someone that you want it... just get it!!!" Otherwise it will be gone!.

What an incredible story!
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it
Wonderful 😊 story 👌
Cool video.. awesome story ...
Thanks Joseph
You never disappoint..get story.
Heartbreaker, glad to see you can laugh about it.
Hi, fantastic story, yep some horses aren't "royally Bred" but they are exceptional one...
Very true
2 funny- thanks for sharing
Feel for you Larry,what a bummer.
Thanks Mick
You never ride the papers is what my grandpa always said. Look at the horse that is what you are buying. Then you decide on what you have. 🐎🐎
Your grandpa was right
Wow what a story! I'm sure your knee is getting perfectly strong.
Thanks!
That was a great story
Thank you
Cool story. I just saw a filly that gave me that guy feeling you were talking about. But turned out he had a slight parrot mouth. Do you have any experience with that? Thanks!
Yah, probably don't do it unless you want to deal with constant dental maintenance.
Did you keep that palomino cutting horse?
Yep
Hey, Larry, you ask Billy Phariss or his dad Jack if a horse is for sale and both of them will respond, "They are all for sale!". Ask me how I know...Problems with the papers? Yeah, no surprise there...
how did this beauty make out at futurity competition ?
Ugh Larry, dang bad luck. I hope you're all healed up and working on that colt again. Good thing I think you said he is a stallion?
Thanks. He was a stallion but he attacked Billy one day so he was immediately gelded.
So, you called him a gelding at one point, then you said he was a stallion, so I thought you were going to say the guy you bought him from had him gelded and you didn't find out til too late. But, anyhoo ... wow! you were so busted when that guy and his family showed up. ha ha! But then you're in a pickle bc YOU'RE the one who helped the horse out of his fear. Oh, man! Crazy! At least you got to keep the horse and had your chance to compete in the big show. Thanks for telling the story. There's a movie in there, somewhere.
What do you mean "for futurity.."??? Thanks
Google "cutting horse futurity"
I think that horse is yours by destiny , much too sad what had happenned to your knee , just before the big time , I hope you are all right now Boss , ...A beautiful horse by the way , greetings
Thanks. I think you're right!
do you still have that gorgeous blonde gelding ?
yes
Lol. You should never admit your trading tricks. 😉. Sounds similar to a situation I had. :(. Still trying to get started again.
I'm in Southern Oregon and I'm trying to find a good cutting horse trainer. Do you know of any? This is just for sport and fun. Not for any other reason.
Yes, I do. Email me.
Do you still have the horse?
Yes, I do
So what became of the horse?
I still have him
Live and learn, great story though. Tell me what did you learn from it if you don't mind.
👍
What a god story
Thanks
Why did you cut him sense he was so great . May have been a good producer stud also . I've seen an old style qt. horse stud that looked like a big fat standard bred pony , but through modern type qts. that won big !!?
There was no good reason in keeping him a stallion
Did you ever see any of his get !
@@jefferyschirm4103 He was never bred
@@ltrocha what was his bloodline
what is his registered name?

Sorry Max, I've never seen that work. People are going to do what they want to do.
@@ltrocha Really? People won’t stick to their word? I’m sure you’’re right, unfortunately.
That sounds like my luck.
After you trained him doesn't seem fair. I would have took it out of the 9000 and wrote him a check for7k
How is he bred. Have one look just like him…. He is a 7 year old
Nothing bred really
Goes to show that breeding isn't everything :) I guess his dam had some secret good genetics in there
Very true
