HEADING OUT TO THE NRHA DERBY

Mar 11, 2024
Hello guys, welcome back to the vlog. We just wrapped up the Mother's Day slide here at Westworld, which was our first event after this whole shutdown deal. It was great to tell you that it was like 107 all week, we had 19 horses. down there and we had a good showing, you know, I'm not going to say I was excited because we didn't win, but all the horses were really good, actually, speaking of which, here's a rooster, I showed it there. America's gunslinger was my first draw rooster, come here, come here rooster, it's like leave me alone, huh, he was 219 and a half there in the

derby

, I thought he was pretty good, we went early and you know, myself I thought you know there are just a couple of little things, maybe we could have tweaked them, but I thought it was better than what they scored on it and I thought it was so solid that I'll show it to you in Oklahoma City at the

nrha

derby

that It will take place in approximately 10 minutes. days, I guess it was before the first round, so the rooster was amazing, he came out very healthy, he didn't really put too much pressure on him, he was really good, which has always quietly been very good, he's an upcoming Walla Walla Wiz of United States weapon.

I wouldn't be surprised if he went out and did something really big at Oak Big in Oklahoma. He really did amazing, so this week, you know, after that show and all the preparation and everything. Those guys are going to have a lot of r r I'm going to have a spa week. They will get on the hot walker. They will have some time to attend. We'll put ice on their legs. We will massage all those good things there. max max fell three year old here's apache she was the best dog in our barn there she scored 221 she was the last one i showed in the derby there and we'll have to show you that video And i'll let you guys see what you think, but I'm not sure there's a horse that stopped better than you, huh?

Then she, of course, will go to the derby and we also got the draw. She was the last one to go to the slide on her mother's day. She will be the first to go to Oklahoma. It's very fun to show it. She is like someone. You just put your hand there. Tell him where you want to go. and she's always there, she's got a couple of cute babies that hit the ground this year too, one bright crop and one gunna trash on both palomino colts here it's tough, tough, tough, i got the week off on the day slide from the mother, you know, I can only show three and he, so, he's sick, so he's rock solid, so I just did a little studying there, which you know, school is just the place where you go through kind of a cruise, basically, hey buddy, it just pretends to follow a pattern and there are some adjustments to do it.

It was really hard, we yelled at him earlier this year, I don't know, we've talked about it, but now he's over it and it's like he was sweet before he was. He's even calmer now, so he's on his way to Oklahoma. town also coincidence he's apache's half brother he goes to apache it's for walla walla he's sick she's five so we'll have a little sibling rivalry here in our own barn who do you like more? That's a good question, it's just as equal. It's because Janna owns them both and we've had them both since they were babies and they've both been very good.

He won the seat at the Sun Circuit this year. Apache was fifth at the world show last year, so I don't know, I think it will be a good, it's a good match, I'm a winner either way, so I think it will be a good match. I don't know, there's something about that Apache the last time he competed in Oklahoma City. the futurity when he was three years old, he made it to the finals, he did amazing, he made a lot of money, so I feel like maybe it's his territory, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
She's the one in the introduction to the path of the future, that's right, she's, you know, here's Rio, so Mary Beth showed him in the non-pro derby and he did a good, he did a very good job, a couple of little things that it cost him and we have been, you know, we give it to him. a few days off and we've been working on that stuff, she's been working hard on it and she's actually tying 21 or something on Monday in Oklahoma, so Rio's coming, he's coming to the derby with us and we're bringing too. six horses so I showed you I showed you three of mine I showed you Río Carmín was here on Mother's Day and Carmín was good he is all healthy now cured of that castration last year he got a score of 2 16 and a half and you know that I was just coming out to see where we were with him, it was like you know, almost like a pre-sat, so to speak, where it counts, but not really, and he had moments of brilliance there and then he had some points where I think he is a little immature he still needs a little more time, he is only four years old so we have a lot of time, I don't know when we will see him off again, maybe the nrbc at the end of August or maybe the big Fourier event , the high roller in Las Vegas in September, I think that's probably where we'll bring Carmine back and test them again, here's one, here's the player, so Thiago, oh, we won't interrupt the player.
The players here are sleeping, so Chiago is going to show George's horse, the player in the derby, he took him to the mother's day slide, he just did some pig warm-ups, he schooled him, he looked great, his players are seven years old and, like, they know the game. I just felt like I didn't need to go to the Mother's Day derby, let him have that week off, just make some adjustments and then take him back to Oklahoma City, where last year Thiago was a level three finalist in it and I think he missed level four by only half a point so we'll definitely be back to try to get to that level four final this year yeah the last horse going to Oklahoma is lefty he went down to the mother's day slide just for school he is a full brother to rudo so we actually have a big sibling rivalry chiago is going to show zurdo zurdo is a seven year old full brother to rudo he is a half brother to an apache zurdo is one of them one of He is the most athletic, if not the most athletic, I have ever ridden.
This horse is absolutely amazing. He has so much feeling it's unreal. It's almost like it's really difficult. It's hard for him to keep things between the lines. It's as if. Well, you know, almost like a sage, it's like, it's amazing how intense this horse gets. Thiago got to the level four final with him in the derby last year, so of course we have to let him come back and see if he can repeat it. Guys, notice all the horses here have those nice leather halters. The lefty has this really pretty turquoise rope halter and the reason is because he's like Houdini.
If you put a regular leather halter on him he'll be out, I think he's the fastest we've ever seen. It was like four seconds that he just took it off, so we put this rope halter on him because he can't seem to take it off, so if you're wondering why the ugly left-handed rope halter, that's why it's our six horses that they were taken to oklahoma they all felt great on the mother's day slide, so that's our six horses for oklahoma. I see a horse out there right now that I really want you to see. I want to show you, jessie, that this is a four-year-old horse. -old Shine Online mare, she came out of the Jessie thing and this is a Philadelphia in which Thiago and I are partners.
We bought this Philadelphia in December of last year in the Futurity. Tiago actually found her and thought she looked like a real It's a good prospect that if we bring her here and put some time into her, she could make a really good horse for someone in the future, so we bought her exclusively for resale, how is the old Jesse? I'm just telling the story that you and I are partners in We bought her to resell, you found her in the Futurity, what did she have? Well, you know, I just like first, I like how she was raised, being Shine online, that horse that Gunny showed, you know, and Jessie's adventure.
They're all big obstacles, right, yeah, and that's what she is. The first thing I thought was that, well, first she was very calm walking around and you know, and that's always a good thing and then she had great breaks, yeah, you know. I just thought you know, uh, she's four, she was three and she's coming four in no time and do something, you know, turn someone into a known professional, a really good horse and then you know, and she can do everything too. the rest. being so quiet so young, I really like that about her and her sound looks really good, yeah, good top line, I mean you know I bought, I wanted to buy, that's why I asked if I could jump in the middle with you, this is the first time. that anyone has the opportunity to see it, we've had it at home, it's been great with the coveted things, you know, we've had a lot of time to, you know, you've been on it riding it, I haven't really written. her a couple of times when, when the fish caught her, we first got her a couple of weeks or whatever, but I haven't been with her since yeah, yeah, and I think now she's ready for someone, I think yeah I bought her and she's going to show and compete in the derbies I mean she's only four years old yeah well let me absolutely jump in yeah see what you think it's been so long I want to show it to everyone and I'm trying to ask the questions that I absolutely know people are going to ask. um, the main thing is I want you to know, uh, she, you know, riding it since December and I just want it to be simple, yeah, you know, and, uh, and no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's easy for anyone, anyone can get on and ride her, absolutely, very smooth on the face, she's what she wants. to be soft, she wants to be discreet, very natural that way, yes, Karen had her eyes on her, oh yes, I told her, I told her no, for you, not for you, she's very nice that way , that's one of those things that we don't do.
Think about it a lot because we ride a lot, but a gentle step, I mean, that makes a big difference, absolutely one that doesn't shake your back, yeah, and then, if I remember correctly, she doesn't have front shoes, you know, She is barefoot by nature. in front barefoot in front nothing special behind just normal sliders she actually doesn't have a very big shoe behind her nor does she make a very strong movement towards the ground yes, she doesn't need much shoe behind she feels very good walking yes I know she looks very good, Alright, oh, alright, we gave you a little taste of what Jessie is like.
I think she's doing very well. She is a solid, well-bred four-year-old mare. I think she's on her way to showing up. the derbies later if you have any questions if you want to schedule a test drive you know give me a call or send me a private message just you know send us an email let us know you'd like to come and check it out it looks ready to go and you know, I think that's probably all for today for the vlog too.
