Beau O Banjo, Foundation-bred, but not just a Cowhorse! 

I grew up on the East Coast and had bred Thoroughbreds.  Although I had done some team penning, I was fundamentally an English rider wanting to get into reining.  I had leaned towards the Appendix crosses because I wanted a bigger horse than the traditional  “bulldog” Quarter Horse.  However, the Appendix crosses tended to be “hot”.  I had never owned a Foundation-bred AQHA horse.   

Early in 2000, I started looking for a Quarter Horse Buckskin stallion for a show prospect. I found one in 2001, and another in 2003, but neither one grew into my standards, so both were gelded.  In April of 2004, I attended a ranch horse sale in Torrington, Wyoming.  I was looking for young geldings to start and turn over.  Instead I came home with my stallion prospect; a dun yearling AQHA stud colt named Beau O Banjo carrying 89% Foundation Blood. 

Beau O Banjo has foundation cutting and reining blood through his Texas-bred dam (Banjo Shine), and roping blood through his Dakotabred sire (Doc San Peppy Beau) with 12 crosses to King in 10 generations.  However, in the 6th and 7th generations you will find five crosses to the Thoroughbred stallion, Three Bars.  The foundation blood of King contributed to the compact, muscular conformation and the Three Bars contributed Thoroughbred size, refinement, heart, and length of stride.   

After working with this colt for a few months, I know I had the horse I wanted.  He was all “boy”, but so sensible and kind.  He not only had the color, pedigree and ideal AQHA conformation, but as time would tell he also had the kind, intelligent, trainable Foundation mind. 

The “bulldog” Quarter Horse was developed for working cows and short racing.  Hot and cold blood has been blended into the modern Quarter Horse.  Many breeds contributed to the Quarter Horse of today, but the Foundation mind is what has prevailed.  This mind is what gives the Quarter Horse the ability to be an allaround versatile horse. 

I had wanted a colored Quarter Horse stallion that could show in halter, Western and English disciplines.  This stallion, Beau O Banjo, has done it all for me.  Whatever this stallion is asked to do, he does so willingly and looks good doing it!  A show winner in halter, reining, dressage in each association we show: AQHA, IBHA, FQHR, and NCDA.  Beau O Banjo is also a reliable, willing trail horse and a kind companion.  As a weanling, an injury left him blind in one eye.  I took a chance on him anyway.  I believe he has done all I have asked of him in spite of his disability because of his Foundation mind.  He is also a proven sire and will continue to be shown and exhibited.
