Ann Admonius had purchased Butch from the late Rodney Miller, and sent the gelding to trainer Troy Compton. Troy and Butch won all three legs of the Two Year Old Western Pleasure at the Tom Powers Triple Challenge after showing in Michigan, North Carolina and Florida in 1991. Zippos Tiger Bar would become the first horse to grace the cover of The Way To Go in June of 1991. Butch earned AQHA Superior awards in Open and Amateur Western Pleasure as well as numerous futurity and Congress championships. The trio once again placed in the top ten in Open and Amateur Western Pleasure at the 1993 AQHA World Show.

Our sincerest condolences following the passing of the parents of horse trainer, Pat Parelli, who were killed in a horrible car crash late Wednesday afternoon in Marion County, FL. Sadly, it was believed that they were on their way to a celebration for Pat’s 67th birthday. 

Our sincerest condolences go out to those who have been touched by the life of More Radical, the 2004, AQHA gelding that was a multiple Congress and World Champion.

She was the full sister to the stud, “Painted Details.” She was started by Carl and Trisha Yamber and shown successfully as a two and three-year-old. The Double-Maurer family bought her as a four-year-old and she was in training with Jason Duquette and Suzanne Pickard for Heather’s years in amateur showing. She had a superior in Open and Amateur Hunter Under Saddle.

I.J. showed others what it meant to truly be a life-long horseman. He was still caring for and breeding Paint Horses on his 60-acre property well into his nineties. He is listed as the founder of the South Dakota Paint Horse Club, earned the APHA Distinguished Service Award in 1992, bred more than 200 Paint Horses and still acted as a state director for South Dakota.

She was once quoted as saying, “I know there’s money in horses, because I put it there!” Cecilia made history in 1999 when she harvested an egg from her beloved mare, Widow Rider, after its passing and then had the egg fertilized with a deceased sire to become a viable foal. This was a first in history.

Cecilia not only helped grow the industry by contributing to reproductive research, granting funds […]
