Discipline: Western Pleasure, Free Reining, Halter, Cutting, Barrels, Poles

Personality: Spirited, lively stallion. Has great cow sense and loves his job. Has been turned loose with cows, and cuts for play. Very sweet boy when being handled, but should be worked by experienced horse people only. Has a tendency to play bite and paw when grooming. Needs work on his manners, but should round out to a sweet, fine stallion that could retire as a lesson horse.

Career: Vice has lived a long and successful career. Placing 1st and 2nd in nearly every show he's entered, Vice is a fierce competitor. While his official ranking hasn't been recorded, Vice reached Hall of Fame* status before reaching the age of 10.

While we initially planned on opening him for a second stud season after retirement, the plan changed after charting his lineage. He has a long and powerful line of foals that will leave a mark on the western HArpg world for years to come.

Vice is now in permanent retirement, and will live out the rest of his days in the open fields of TR's inland facing pastures.

Miami Vice's history and lineage can be found here.

*_{The HArpg WD has been inactive and it's point system is down. Vice's status is an approximation. He was totaled up and I set a goal to reach him to Hall of Fame. I have since passed that goal, but have no way to verify it.}}

Thank you ^^

I think my foal is his grandson, but when I applied for premium with him they rejected me because "Miami Vice is not an official BoB, since his reference is not posted here - foal owners should talk about that with the owner - as far as we can allow it, he's elite because his ref is posted as elite."

~EarthboundEquinox Jan 6, 2013

I'll fix his ref and check with the group. I know I never made the BoB ref, but he has earned the points. What foal are you referring to? I can check to see if it is indeed his grandson. ^^

^{He's such a handsome stallion, sad to see him leaving. Was it Best in Show he got from the Superhorse Show? I thought it was something else, either way, he's still gorgeous! The titles and money all are just that, titles and money, but the heart inside is what matters}
