2008 is here and the reining horse industry appears to be stronger
than ever! Sales and traffic are brisk.
- Congratulations to David Aitken and family from Scranton, Arkansas
and agent-trainer Doug Millholland for the purchase of Totally Dun
Twistin. Twistin is really a nice mare and should be a good fit for
Doug and the Aitkens.
- Congratulations to Randy Paul from Cave Creek, Arizona on the
purchase of Wright On Wimpy, a three year old Wimpys Little Step gelding.
Randy won the 2006 NRHA Open Reining Futurity and is nearing the million
dollar mark in NRHA earnings. Wright On Wimpy will be in good hands
with Randy and his family.
- Congratulations to our good friend and good customer, Dennis
Frieder from Santa Fe, New Mexico, on the purchase of Fiesta
Del Cielo, a four year old reining gelding. Dennis could not be
more pleased with "Howdy" and came home from their first
horse show with a win
- Thank you Ron Thompson of Whitesboro, Texas on the purchase of
two great 2007 stud colts, Homer Wimpson and Quistador. We are proud
to have Ron "join our program" as a buyer. Ron has a great
eye for young horses and consistently buys yearlings and sells them
for a lot of money as broke two year olds on the NRHA Futurity Sale.
This program has been very successful for Ron, having sold a Shining
Spark two year old stud colt on the 2006 NRHA for $197,000. Last year
Ron's two year olds on the NRHA sale averaged over $100,000. Ron and
I looked at these colts in the pasture for 5 minutes and they were
sold, he knows a good one when he sees one!
- FLASH!! There is no better feeling
for us than to see a horse we have bred, raised, started under saddle
and sold go on and do well at the big shows. At the 2008 NRBC reining
in Katy, Texas, This Chicsdundreamin and George Lawrence did just
that! George and This Chic won the Limited Non Pro Derby, were second
in the Int. Non Pro Derby and tied for 10-11 place in the Non Pro
Derby, winning over $24,000 in less than a week. Congratulations to
George and his fine mare to a job well done! Also, Shad Parkinson
and Smart Little Stepper made the Open and Int. Open Derby finals
at the 2008 NRBC.
- Congratulations to Santa Hill Farm in upstate New York and their
trainer, Craig Johnson, on the purchase of Shinin In Hollywood. This
mare has allot of "look" and will really fit Craig's style.
We look for big things from this pair in the future. Shinin In Hollywood
has the same mother as This Chicsdundreamin.
- Congratulations to The Mayer Cattle Company of Houston, Tx. and
trainer-agent Troy Koehl on the purchase of Wimpys Little Tucker.
With his conformation and his mind, I think he is one of the best
Wimpys I have raised!
- Congratulation to Arcese Quarter Horses from Arco, Italy and
Weatherford, Texas on the purchase of the good 2007 filly, Trick Or
Treats. Mr. Arcese is a big time player in the reining horse industry
and is the owner of Chic Please and Walla Walla Whiz. Also, Arcese
Quarter Horses owns Wimpys Little Chic, the winner of the 2007 NRHA
Futurity. Mr. Arcese knows a good horse when he sees one!
- Congratulations to John Frank of Oberlin, Louisiana on the purchase
of the fine mare, Cee the Cats Mewow.
- Congratulations to Stoney and Stuart Russell of Longview, Texas
on the purchase of the 2006 filly, Wimpys Dun Twistin. Stoney and
Stuart have been longtime friends and customers, they should really
enjoy this filly.
- Congratulations to agent-trainer Jordan Larson for selecting
the two year old mare, Out Shinin Wimpy for the Dorminy Plantation
in Fitzgerald, Georgia. The Dorminy Plantation and Jordan know good
horses and we are honored that they purchased this fine mare.
Remember - The difference between Champ and Chump is U.
