For the foreseeable future, GOTTA GOOD HABIT will no longer be available to the public for breeding. We have decided to make getting our own mares bred our priority from now. We will, of course, honor any requests from those that we have already spoken to. Otherwise, our 2022 public book is closed.

Any future breeding requests to GOTTA GOOD HABIT may be conducted via private treaty only by texting or calling 225-954-1702 or by emailing [email protected].

Photos taken 11/7/2021 at almost 21 years old after FOUR competitive careers.

Tried to get some nice pictures of GOTTA GOOD HABIT today for everyone, but he was having a lazy old man day. So, this is what I have for you. I did manage to capture his happy easy-going expression though. I'll try again tomorrow.

Almost 1000 days ago, our truck blew up on the way to pick up GOTTA GOOD HABIT who was 18 hours away from us. We were stranded in the middle of nowhere with our trailer and a blown up truck. An amazing friend, Bruce Norwood, drove 5 hours to get us and our blown up truck. When we got home, we picked up my vehicle, turned around and headed back to pick up our trailer (left sitting in a parking lot) and to buy a new truck. The one good thing going for us at this point was that we found a truck that was perfect and a car dealership, Texas Motorcars, that was wonderful to work with.
But, as if enough bad luck hadn't already occurred, as soon as we buy the new truck, a freak hail storm hits outside the car dealership right as we're about to leave. My car was parked outside. I'll never forget that as soon as the hail hit, the staff grabbed the keys to my personal vehicle and pulled it onto their sales floor while they were moving their own cars. That was just one of the really great things that they did to make what was such a horrible situation into a good experience.
Today, JJ, at Texas Motorcars called and left my husband a voicemail just to check and see how we were doing and how our horse business was doing. Not only is the truck doing great and has done all the farm things that you could ever ask of a truck, but it's maintained it's original purchase price. They may be 5 hours from us, but we certainly won't ever buy a truck from anyone else if I have anything to do with it.

Show me another AAA stallion that you can still breed to that rides English and Western both and ropes and looks like this at over 20 years old. These are CURRENT photos of GOTTA GOOD HABIT, taken today in pasture condition. No fancy photographers, no special setup, just exceptional genetics.

There are those who think that you should get that one special photo and never share another photo of a stallion, just that single perfect shot. I don't believe in promoting a stallion based on one single perfect photo taken at two years old, though we do have those (see below). I believe that longevity is of the UTMOST importance in breeding, and as such, I think you should see what the stallion that you are breeding to looks like in his every day clothes in the pasture at 20 years old. Here is a candid photo of GOTTA GOOD HABIT just taken yesterday (Sept 2021). He will be 21 soon. Even after, not just one career, but 4 different competitive careers (racing, halter, huntseat, roping) and years in the breeding shed, if you compare the current grazing photos to his perfect two year old ideal, the silhouette is mostly unchanged. This is longevity.

We are always happy to provide current photos at any time.
