| Alors voici des sujets qui risquent d'être vraiment passionnants et autant vous dire que "Origines & Génétique" sont des bébés que j'entends choyer !!!
Et voici qu'en fouinant sur internet je tombe sur les nouveaux Quarter inclus au Hall Of Fame.
Je vous rappelle que pour être Hall Of Fame un cheval ne doit plus être de ce monde donc je pense qu'une certaine Carole Rose doit être triste d'avoir perdue la jument phare de son élevage : Diamond Sparkle.
Grande poulinière qui ( et ce n'est peut-être pas la peine de le préciser ) est la mère ( entre autre ) de Shining Spark, Genuine Redskin... Saillie un coup sur deux environ par Genuine Doc ( Doc Bar ) et Zan Parr Bar mais aussi Doc O'lena.
Enfin tout ça pour dire que cette année 2007 rendra hommage à :
- Barbara L
- Bert
- Chicks Beduino
- Diamonds Sparkle
- Expensive Hobby
- Goetta
- Grey Badger II
Volà, dans le détail ça donne ça : ( pour les courageux )
AQHA ANNOUNCES 2007 HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES
Amarillo, Texas, March 24, 2006 –Five individuals and seven horses will be inducted
into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame during the 2007 AQHA Convention
March 2-6 in Houston.
The American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame was established in 1975 to honor people and
horses instrumental in the development of the breed and the American Quarter Horse
Association. Induction into the Hall of Fame is one of the highest honors bestowed by
AQHA.
Horses:
Barbara L
Barbara L, a 1947 bay mare, produced 14 foals of which 11 earned Registers of Merit.
Total, Barbara L’s produce earned more than $260,000 on the racetrack and claimed 52
wins. Considered a blue-hen mare, her name is found in hundreds of racing American Quarter Horse pedigrees.
Goetta
Goetta was the first undefeated American Quarter Horse to win the All American Futurity. The 1961 mare was the AQHA Champion 2-year-old Filly in 1963 and the AQHA World Champion in 1964. She went on to earn the Champion Aged Mare title in 1965.
Diamonds Sparkle
Diamonds Sparkle earned points in six AQHA classes, won the AQHA Superhorse title in 1978 and is the National Reining Horse Association’s all-time leading dam of NRHA money-earners. The 1974 palomino mare produced 18 foals that earned more than 2,600 performance points.
Expensive Hobby
Three-time World Champion Expensive Hobby, a 1971 buckskin gelding, is most remembered for his stops and turns in the reining and working cow horse arena with 1996 AQHA Professional Horseman Al Dunning aboard. Expensive Hobby competed in
western pleasure, western riding, reining, working cow horse and cutting.
Bert
A 1934 brown stallion, Bert was legendary in the roping arena. Bert sired 292 foals, four of which were AQHA Champions. Bert’s versatility is illustrated in his foal’s records – they earned 438 halter points and 545.5 performance points. Twenty-six of Bert’s offspring earned Registers of Merit.
Grey Badger II
Grey Badger II, a 1941 gray stallion, was said to have had legs of steel. Many thought of the legendary horse as the gauge against which the fastest 220-yard horses were tried. He sired 250 foals.
Chicks Beduino
A 1984 gray stallion, Chicks Beduino sired more than 2,000 foals and remains a
prominent figure in American Quarter Horse racing today. The legendary sire’s foals have earned more than $31 million, and include seven AQHA Racing World Champions.
