News October 2010: Hussy is currently in Tamworth to be bred to Peptos Stylish Oak.
Hussy was
started under saddle as a 2yo in 2008 by Barbara and showed great
talent early on. Unfortunatly Barbara broke her ankle soon after, and
Hussy did not get ridden for the next 6 months as a result. We then
sent her to Steve Elks for cutting training (2009), and once again she
showed great promise as very cowy, if very little mare. However, she
injured her hip, and as a result needed to be ridden with a lot of
collection to keep her sound. This ruled out a career in cutting as we
had planned for her. As a result of her injury she also lost her
awesome stop, which ruled out reining as an alternative career.
I decided
to breed her as a 4yo, so I spent 2010 taking her out there, having
some fun. And fun we had, as she demonstrated her trainable nature by
competing, and winning at Western Pleasure, Western Horsemanship,
Trail, Reining and Halter. At only 14hh she could hardly deny her
cutting pedigree, but what she lacked in size she made up with
smoothness and trainability.
After only
6 months of showing she dominated the High-Point titles at the North
Coast Western Riders Club, taking home the top awards for Junior Horse,
Western Horse, and PHAA Halter. I also decided to take her cutting once
(at 3years old), just to get a feel what kind of cutting horse she
could have made, and she rewarded me with a gutsy 69 on tough Brahman
cattle (1/2 point out of the placings), but her soreness in the hind
end returned after some of the hard stops.
Hussy is now retired to our broodmare band, and is currently being bred to Peptos Stylish Oak.
Hussy was born
on the first of September 2006, a brown tobiano filly. She is a 3/4
sister to "Acres Of Class" (Multi-NP-futurity finalist NCHA & Gold
Cup 4rth place, lte $4000+ also campdraft winner) and "Acres
Kate Kelly" (3rd highest-priced led filly at the NCHA select sale 2006).
Her grandparents include a NCHA futurity champion, an Open NCHA futurity
champion producer, and a US NCHA futurity semifinalist.
