PERFORMERS
Having started with horses later in life we never had the opportunity to ride and show ourselves, but opted instead for a program dedicated to raising top-level riding prospects for those that did. It is therefore particularly gratifying when any of our "babies' distinguish themselves with their new owners and we appreciate so much what you all have done! You have given us so many nice stories and memories of our babies after they have left home. THANKS!

GOOD BAR SMOKEY TOO
1995 Red Roan Mare
Sire: Zippos Mr Good Bar
Dam: Smokey Miss Tonto
Exhibitor: Julie Benter, Seymour, IN
Performance Record: SELECT WORLD SHOW QUALIFIER. Performance ROM; over 40 AQHA points in Hunter Under Saddle, Hunt Seat Equitation, Halter.
Our very first baby, we lost track of her after she sold as a yearling and left a void in our hearts. Then, in 2013 we received a statement from AQHA that she was a point-earner with Incentive Fund earnings. We contacted Julie and learned she had purchased her as a broodmare in 2011 and began showing her when she was already 16 years old. Julie, thank-you so much for what you have done for "Sadie" and us. The void has been filled.
