'Trixie' was an own daughter of On The Money Red, all time leading sire of money-winning barrel horses. She was out of an own daughter of Biankus, Callie Kay Biankus, that Pat Smith campaigned on. Callie is a full sister to Bogie Biankus, Randi Rae Britt's stallion that was 5 times WPRA Columbia River Circuit Finals Champion, and that Katie McCoin rode at the NFR in 1999. Trixie truly was a Biankus, as she inherited the Biankus characteristics. You can see the bushy mane and the Biankus head in the photo. She also had the hip and shoulders, and quick, snappy moves.

She showed great promise as a baby. She would spin in her stall on her hindquarters, round and round, and never tear up the straw. We had great competitive hopes for her, but she suffered an injury to her hip as a foal that prevented her from competing. She then moved into our broodmare band. Over the years, the muscles in her injured hip continued to shrink and tighten, making it difficult for her to take her leg forward. Still, she would gallop across the pasture with the other horses. She was a wonderful mother, and was very careful with her babies, encouraging them to nurse from her "good side". Foaling became more difficult and dangerous for her in her later years, and she produced one foal via embryo transfer.

This mare's oldest offspring is High On Biankus, or Toby. He is a 2001 bay gelding that is winning big time on the east coast. Toby is impressing all who watch him with his power and his deceptively fast clocking ability.

This mare was a strong breeder and really put her mark on her foals. They have all had her Biankus characteristics: steep hip, small head, bushy mane, snorty attitude, and lightning quickness. Check out her 2006 filly, Sixey Biankus. She is so much like her mother that we are calling her Trixie Junior.

Trixie was a full sister to HaveMoney WillTravel. "Willy" is another Sunrise West success story.
