FOR THE ARENA

We have seen what First Down Dash does for his son's in the arena. He has sired many well known stallions whose produce are going on to make BIG names for themselves, especially in barrel racing. First Down Dash is the leading paternal grandsire of barrel horses.

He has produced:

Dash Ta Fame si 113 has dominated the barrel horse world, especially on the futurity front. His offspring are in high demand and have been been ridden by famous barrel horse jockeys such as: Martha Wright, Kassie Mowry and Troy Crumrine. He currently stands at MJ Farms for a 2009 fee of $6500

Knud With Wings maternal grandsire has also produced competitors in the arena.

Angels Policy has sired performance horses such as:

POLICY BUGS si 98

Dam: Mozee Bugs

POLICY BUGS si 98 was a stakes winner and placer and earned $ while racing. In the fall of 1993 she was taken off the track and bred early in 1994, although it was thought the mare didn’t take and she was then sent on to Gary Junt in Dickinson, ND in March for riding. In May she went to Robin Hoffman to be started on the barrels. With limited training the mare placed 3rd in the 1st Go of the 1994 ND Breeder’s Barrel Futurity and 3rd in the 1st Go of the 1994 Oklahoma Limited Futurity. She also won the $1000 Novice Champion Buckle at the OBRA Two Rocks Ranch Summer Series and placed at the following open rodeos Choctaw, Tuttle, Clinton and Tecumseh. Considering the mare hadn’t even seen a barrel prior to May 15th and by June 15th she was clocking 1D times, rider Robin Hoffman was quite impressed.

There were plans to haul the mare to the fall futurities and the she had been entered in the Admore Fall Futurity and OKC World Championship but around October 1st it became very apparant that she was in fact in foal. That was the end of her barrel racing career. She had won a total of about $5,000 in futurity, open rodeo and jackpot money.

Thank you Robin Hoffman for the background information on Policy Bugs.
