beautiful horse and wonderful horsemanship. Don't see how people could dislike this. Jealousy sucks I guess lol. Anyway, wonderful job! :)

@ranchycowgirl88 - thanks for your kind comments. Who knows why people click thumbs down.

You don't have to have a quarter horse. This one is a paint and in fact the 2011 NWSS Freestyle Reserve Champion is an Appaloosa!

do u hve to hve a quarter horse to do reing r the judges lookin for the powerful hindquarter of a quarter i dnt do reining so i dnt know thnx

[horsesaremylife31899]

he is a sabino

[usarabians1]

is he a arabian or quarter i cant tell

[mcmetc]

@usarabian - He's a paint with quarter horses in his pedigree. When he loves to do freestyle so much that he gets excited and prances and shows off - like an Arab!

How cool! I just went to go see this event last weekend, and my friend and I were trying to recall past performances. This one was the most memorable for both of us!

[Dreamingangel8]

The theme is a little cheesy but the horse is AMAZING!

[mcmetc]

We like to have fun. Next time maybe we will do drama!

Megan & Devin: I have been seeing your babies on your website, but this was exceptional to watch.

Awesome job! Looks like you guys had alot of fun with it!

[mcmetc]

We love to do the freestyle. And that horse loves to do it as well.

[blu3horse17]

Haha i love this. the costume and song are priceless

[XxTheNewGenerationxX]

Question. How is it to ride in the dark at the complex?

[mcmetc]

We had a practice the night before so the horse got used to it. That horse loves to perform and he is not afraid of anything. The performance is a sell-out event so you also need a horse that is okay with so many people.

[royaldakotabreez]

haha very clever! loved the whole idea! :)

[mcmetc]

Thanks! It was fun to perform and I thought I might pass out from the heat (or fall on my face because I couldn't see) in that pig costume but I managed to make it work!

i just saw this horse sold at an auction a week ago!

[mcmetc]

That is very funny. No you didn't. He is in my barn and he will never be sold in an auction. Perhaps you saw a horse with a similar name. There are others that have Boonlight in their name or Boon. And you rarely see full papered Like A Diamond horses run through an auction. What auction did you see that horse in? (And thanks for watching!)

[kansasbarrelrunner]

excuse me? no need to become defensive! I probably know more about horses then you! and um the horses' name was boonlight in diamonds and it looked just like this so.... excuse me for thinking that it was this horse. And sure maybe he is at your barn? Maybe not how am i to know you are telling the truth??

[mcmetc]

No, no, no defensiveness here. Just clarifying. I didn't question your knowledge - you may well know more than I do. You can verify ownership by checking on the APHA online to see who owns Bubba. Or call APHA. What auction was it and where?

[kansasbarrelrunner]

Ok, no need to look at it, obviously you own it. It was a tom mcbeath auction in mississippi two weeks ago.

[buckbaby44]

OMG i saw this horse at stock show last year is he compepting again this year

[diamondmrranch]

I LOVE BUBBA
