Very nice. Glad he arrived with no mishaps.
I'd call him a bay roan as well. Color doesn't make much difference to me either, but lots of folks look for his color. Enjoy him!

Dang nice looking piece of horse flesh Mike. I'm not much of a horse guy as you, but I think you did good. I hope he performs for you.

He looks it. Hancock a ways back through Two Eyed Jack (if I looked the right one up). Roan input from several others. I do like the black points. http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/bitter+road+ahead

The Hancocks (imo) have that shoulder angle going into the strong loin/back and particular hip and tail set (ok, and head). I suspect that if that pedigree is researched that boy is going to go back to Hancock a bit. The 2 eyed Jacks I've seen tend to have a rounder hip (just imo, what do I know). I actually was very partial to the jacks NE neighbor, the Jae Bars. Rode a lot of Leo Question breed horses and had a lot of luck with them. Weren't for everyone, but you'd wear out your jeans before you rode one down.

Leos Question, by Leo (double breed Joe Reed) and out of an own daughter of Question Mark who if I remember right went back to Plaudit (sp?) Had about a dozen or more of Leos Question grand daughters, lot of horse all of them. That was when Mr Wilkins was still alive.

That'll work. I like him. If he doesn't work out, send him down. I suppose the name Widow Maker has already been taken.
