We bought Romeo August 30, 2005 as a stallion and riding prospect. We gelded him as a 2 year old because conformationally he wasn't what we were looking for in a stallion prospect. But Romie is well broke to ride and safer than most aged horses. He is by far one of the easiest, if not THE easiest of the horses we have ever trained. He is good on a cow, brave on the trail (won the Ultimate Cowboy Challenge in 2008), runs hard in the barrel arena, stops hard and spins fluidly, yet he's quiet enough for lessons... 2009 was Romeo's first year competing for a full season, he placed 3rd in high point for the year, falling behind two seasoned barrel horses. In 2010 he came back, placing third again for the year against another good bunch of horses, and he missed two shows! He has far surprassed our expectations. If you ever have the opportunity to own a Hes To Dun Tuff foal, do not pass it up! We've always felt this way, and now that we have owned Tuff ourselves and several of his offspring, we have no doubt these horses get their minds from him!
