Why was ridden all summer and fall (2007) by Leza and did everything
that was asked of him, willingly and calmly.
He was ridden alone and with other horses, including open mares. He was an absolute pleasure
to ride each and every time. He competed in the Thayer Saddle Club's Ozark Cowboy race, and for a green colt, did well on
most of the obstacles and completed the course just as quietly as he started it. He has been trailered in our open stock trailer
with mares. He has also been ridden in a crowded arena several times. He knows when he can be a stud and when he cannot.
If he can pass on even some of his excellent temperment to his get, he is going to be an outstanding
sire.
During the summer and fall of '08 we were riding Why but he was
being difficult about it. Several folks had told us that a stud is at his very worst at 4 years old, and we just chalked it
up to that. Early fall his left eye turned dark and we had him examined and it was determined that he had a growth in
the eye and needed surgery to remove it. Our good horse had been telling us how uncomfortable it was for him to
be asked to work faster than a walk for months and we just didn't speak horse well enough to to hear him.
He has adjusted very well to being blind on one side, we just have
to remember to talk to him if we approach on that side. When leading him we still walk at his left shoulder but
touch him with our free hand so he knows where we are.
HE'S A VERY GOOD BOY.
We feel very lucky to have such a kind and steady minded
horse.
(Fall of 09) Gary has had a "wake-up call" about his health. There are things we want to do
that don't allow for morning and night feeding. With many regrets we are offering Why for sale. He's one of those horses you
look a long time for and usually, don't let go of once you have them.

For Why only, the rights to his frozen semen will stay with us unless you

the necessary paperwork with APHA for frozen.
Both types are available for AQHA mares.
Why's
2009 breeding fee is an introductory price and does not, in any way, reflect the amount of value we put on him as a sire.
We would like to see him put some foals out that are as good or even better than he is. We are thinking that, in this
current economy, we would make it comfortable for you to get a breeding from him.
His
fee will go up again next year.
Please email us if you wish to use PayPal and we will send you an invoice.
Why has 90%+ foundation breeding. Why's sire, Cheyenne
is a fine working roping horse. His grand-sire, Tiffdigger was a cutting whiz, we've had more than one person tell
us that "he might not have been the prettiest horse I ever saw, but he sure could cut a cow". Tiffdigger goes all the
way back to Wimpy in just three generations, it doesn't get much more foundation than that, Whimpy's registration # was 0001.Why
also has Thermo Sock, King Fritz, Bueno Lad, Leo and Otoe, all strong foundation lines. There is also a good dose
of Doc Bar and his various get in Why's pedigree.
We've run the #'s and come up with 91.41% for Why. If
your mare has any foundation lines at all, your resulting foal should also be eligible for foundation registry as
well as for AQHA or APHA.
His pedigree and pics of his sire and dam are on the Pedigree page. There is also a
link to AllBreedPedigree.com for him, you can check way back in his lines and also see photos and stats on some
of his ancestors.
In some of the photos his mane and tail may seem darker than in
others. That is because he has a fairly oily mane and tail and it shows the dirt more than his body does. When he is clean,
freshly bathed, the mane and tail are just slightly darker than his body.
