In halter classes, Zan Parr Bar earned 245 lifetime halter points and three world championships: 1977, 1979 and 1980. To show off the stallion’s athleticism, Rose chose roping, with legendary trainer Billy Allen showing him. Rose found that Two Eyed Jack mares crossed best with Zan Parr Bar, however American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame member Diamonds Sparkle might have been his best nick. She produced her first Zan Parr Bar foal, Sparkles Rosezana, in 1982. Sparkles Rosezana went on to win the National Reining Horse Association Futurity in 1985. She was the AQHA world champion junior reining horse in 1986, a world champion in junior tie-down and a three time All American Quarter Horse Congress champion in heading and heeling. Zans Diamond Sun, another Diamonds Sparkle foal, earned 356 AQHA points, was the 1987 world champion junior reining horse and earned many high-point awards. Sparkles Suzana, another Zan Parr Bar cross with Diamonds Sparkle, was foaled in 1985 After focusing on cutting horses like American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame member Peppy San and Peponita for many years, American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame breeder Carol Rose wanted to move in a new direction with a stallion that had both looks and athleticism. and earned 968 AQHA points, the world championship in senior tie-down roping, several AQHA high-point honors and was the NRHA Derby champion. With Zan Parr Bar on his way to breaking all sire records, the stallion died of colitis X on November 25, 1987. The 12 foal crops sired by Zan Parr Bar did it all, earning nearly 25,000 points in almost every AQHA event. He sired an AQHA Superhorse, an NRHA Futuritychampion, an NRHA Derby champion, and 72 reserve and world champions in eight events, as well as 126 high-point award earners in four disciplines and 14 different events. Zan Parr Bar was inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 2010.

Our mare Blues Red Berry, Betcha Shes Sweet, Guns Poco, Sombrera Playgirl are Descendant of Poco Lena a Photos courtesy of Quarterhorserecord.com Poco Lena, was the daughter of AQHA Champion Poco Bueno and Sheilwin, by Pretty Boy. Poco Lena was not only an AQHA Champion and Superior Halter Horse, she was also the first horse to be inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association Hall of Fame. She was the NCHA World Champion Cutting Mare in 1959, '60 and '61. Between 1954-1961, she was the NCHA reserve world champion cutting horse five times. By the time her cutting career ended, tragically and abruptly, Poco Lena had earned nearly $100,000 in NCHA competition - during an era when purses were little to nothing. So great were Poco Lena's accomplishments, she was also inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame. On June 21, 1967, Doc O'Lena was foaled on the front lawn of the Jensens' Double J Ranch. The following year she gave birth to another bay colt sired by Doc Bar, Dry Doc. Dry Doc was the last foal the legendary Poco Lena would produce. On Dec 16, 1968, a few months after the colt was weaned, Poco Lena was put to sleep. Poco Lena's legacy, however, continues to be carried on through the many champion performers whose pedigrees boast her name.

Our mare Shessonita, are Descendants Of Poco Tivio
Photos courtesy of Quarterhorserecord.com Bred by E. Paul Waggoner’s Three D Stock Farm, Poco Tivio was foaled in 1947, and was the first foal out of a then 4-year-old mare named Sheilwin. His sire, Poco Bueno, was also owned by Three D. When “Tivio” was 3 and already started in cutting training under Pine Johnson, he sold to Fort Worth car dealer Cliff Magers for $5,000. Milt Bennett took over the horse’s training for a year until Don Dodge bought the stallion for $15,000, reportedly the highest price ever paid for a cutting horse at the time. Immediately, the pair started winning. In 1951 and 1952, they placed fifth in the National Cutting Horse Association year-end top 10. In 1952, Dodge showed Tivio to his AQHA Champion title, consistently winning in both cutting and halter. Soon Dodge retired Tivio and stood him to outside mares for $300. But it wasn’t long before the trainer had Poco Lena, Tivio’s full sister, in his barn. So, Dodge sold Tivio to California horseman Charley Araujo. As a stallion, Poco Tivio was known for passing on his low-key temperament and flashy working style. His offspring showed as well in halter as in cutting. Tivio received the NCHA Certificate of Ability Bronze Award, had $11,000 in NCHA earnings and is a member of the Working Cow Horse Hall of Fame. He sired 308 registered foals in 25 crops. Of those, 81 were AQHA point earners, 10 AQHA Champions, 26 ROM earners, and six Superior award winners that won 10 Superior performance awards in five events. Tivio’s daughters have produced the winners of more than $2.2 million in AQHA, NCHA, National Reining Horse Association and National Reined Cow Horse Association competition. The foals of those mares have earned 6,641 AQHA points in halter and performance, 10 open and youth world championships and two open reserve world championships. Araujo stood Poco Tivio for several years and then just before his death gave the stallion to his farrier, Floyd Boss, in 1971. Poco Tivio died in 1976. He was inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 2013.

Our Mare Guns Poco is a Descendant of Freckles Playboy
Freckles Playboy’s first foal crop hit the ground in 1978, and it was soon clear that he wasn’t just a stallion; he was a sire. It was the day before Groundhog’s Day in 1973 when Freckles Playboy was born, sired by Jewel’s Leo Bar, a money-earning son of Sugar Bars, and out of Gay Jay, a spicy-hot cutting mare. Terry Riddle started the sorrel colt and trained him for breeder and owner Marion Flynt, a Texas oilman. The two men pointed “Playboy” to the 1976 National Cutting Horse Association Futurity, where he was the co-reserve champion. At the 1977 NCHA Derby, he was third, and he also won an AQHA world championship in junior cutting that year. In 1978, he was second in the NCHA Finals and third at the AQHA World Championship Show in senior cutting. He earned 25 AQHA cutting points and $59,976 in NCHA competition. But the show-pen successes were cut short when Freckles Playboy was diagnosed with navicular syndrome in 1979. Flynt gifted the stallion to his ranch manager, Kay Floyd, who decided to promote him as a sire. Today, within AQHA, Freckles Playboy is among the top 10 all-time leading maternal grandsires (by points earned) for both cutting and working cow horse. In NCHA, Freckles Playboy is ranked third on the list of all-time leading sires, by offspring earnings. His sons and daughters tallied an amazing $24.5 million in NCHA earnings. Freckles Playboy offspring also earned more than $285,000 in the National Reined Cow Horse Association, more than $125,000 in the National Reining Horse Association and nearly $177,000 at the AQHA World Championship Show. From 2,084 foals in 26 foal crops, Freckles Playboy sired 13 AQHA world champions and 17 reserve world champions. When you move to his daughters’ foals, then you’re talking about an additional 13 AQHA world champions, 15 reserve world champions and more than $35 million in earnings with AQHA alliance partners. Freckles Playboy was euthanized due to kidney failure in 2003. He was inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 2013. |
