This big, stout 1250 pound 16-year-old homebred and raised gelding has a wonderful disposition. Flax has been used to pasture rope all sizes of cattle to doctor or pull into a trailer. He has also been used to work at the stockyards to pen cattle and work gates. He has the size and wide chest much like The Ole Man did. His granddam on the top side was by our stallion Squaw Bug by Lady Bug’s Moon. He was unusually one of the nicest stallions or cutting horses that anyone could ask for. He was bred and raised by a well-known breeder, Marvin Barnes. Flax had the conformation resembling The Ole Man. Lota Fire was a granddaughter of The Ole Man owned by Roy Browning of Ada, OK whom lived just down the road from Marvin Barnes. During the mid 1980s, I got to meet & visit with Marvin Barnes. Marvin owned Mr. Master Bug who won first place in the All American Races in 1981 and Miss Squaw Han that took 2nd place at the same race. Later in the years, Squaw Bugs had a 99 speed index in the trials. At the time, I would have never dreamed that I would ever own some of their bloodlines in my future of our quarter horse business. The Zil’s Tomboy came from the Bert bloodlines of Don Dillinger during the late 1980s. The Omeda Jet Money was from another friend, Guy Ray Rutland. He was such a great resource and advisor to me when I decided to raise quarter horses. Flax fits in well with the easy going and hard working type of horse like his ancestors. (620) 778-3348
