Overall this article is good. I just have one thing I want tweaked:
I'll put this on hold, and will pass it upon fixing. Wizardman 03:59, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Question: Should a couple of wikilinks to go the glossary or to the article? Specifically "Foaled." We have the article "foal" but I do understand that here the verb form is used. And the glossary does link to the article. I guess I'm sort of asking for thoughts for use in other articles too. Montanabw (talk) 20:25, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
I am frankly amazed at the literary standard of this which is due to appear on the Main Page tomorrow, and bewildered as to how it got past FA.
I'll start a proposed re-write shortly. Kevin McE ( talk) 18:01, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Most of the above, plus the miscalculated length of stud career and a couple of other issues that came to light from the sources, would be addressed with this intro:
Lightning Bar (1951–1960) was an
American Quarter Horse which
raced and later became a
stud stallion. He was bred by his lifelong owner Art Pollard of
Sonoita, Arizona, and was the offspring of
Three Bars and a mare from Louisiana, a stronghold of the breeding of sprint horses. He raced ten times, with four victories and four other top three finishes, but his racing career was cut short by illness after only one year. After racing, he became a show horse for two years, and had some success as a
team roping horse. As a breeding stallion he sired seven crops, or years, of
foals, among which
Doc Bar was the best known. Lightning Bar died of a viral infection in 1960, at the age of nine. He was inducted into the
American Quarter Horse Association's
Hall of Fame in 2008.

The lead paragraph identifies the dam as an un-named mare from Louisiana, but the pedigree chart identifies the dam as Della P. Is Della P the dam? LarryJeff ( talk) 21:17, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
What do the little stars in front of Midge and McGee's names mean ? Thank you, have a nice day. 85.169.175.167 ( talk) 11:29, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Ealdgyth Hi, I was in here August 20 and updated the Hall of Fame link. Going through my list today, I realized I needed to adjust the format per the one you wanted per your edits yesterday. Everything is good here now in this featured article. I made minimal changes. I am trying to be very careful with featured articles. Thanks for your help and patience. dawnleelynn (talk) 21:46, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
I'm not seeing where the statistic of seven crops of foals is cited. Marking as satisfactory with those note at WP:URFA/2020. Hog Farm Talk 16:42, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
