Hi Pat & Ken,
I just want to tell you how good Twist and I have been doing! We have been winning
everywhere we go! I just want to thank you for selling us such an awesome horse.
Thanks,
Sierra Jones
Twist was purchased by us as a yearling from Hilker's Sunrise Ranch in Nebraska. He was the product of breeding one of their good mares to Ashes In The Fire, an own son of Fire Water Flit. We liked his overall good looks, his heavy bone, and straight legs. As he grew, he matured to display the bulging muscles of a born athlete. He has inherited the Flit Bar athletic turns - hind quarters low in the ground.
We have been very pleased with his talent, and have twice bred one of our On The Money Red daughters to Ashes In The Fire.
Twist has demonstrated his dexterity and athletic ability not only in barrel racing, but also in pole bending. His fastest recorded time to date on a standard AQHA pattern is 20.001.
His winnings during his 5 year old futurity year include:
- Rocky Mountain Barrel Racing Futurity, Ogden, UT, Amateur Champion
- 5-State Breeders Futurity, Rapid City, SD, Reserve Champion
- Fizz Bomb Classic Barrel Racing Futurity, Gillette, WY, 6th in the average
- VGBRA Breeders Futurity, Walla Walla, WA, 5th place
- Barrel Breeders Incentive Futurity, Great Falls, MT, 1st in the average
- Triangle Barrel Racing Futurity,Great Falls, MT, Reserve Champion, Open
- Triangle Barrel Racing Futurity,Great Falls, MT, Amateur Champion
Barrel Racing and Pole Bending Earnings to date over $11,000!
