One Zippin Rocket
by Nancy Whittley
One Zippin Rocket is a 3 yr old Appaloosa filly by One Smart Ace ApHC and out of Whos Zippin Now ApHC
We knew she would be competing against older and more seasoned horses, so this was for the
fun of it. We went with NO expectations, and despite not placing, we were still so proud of her performances. She took it all in stride, and was as at ease in the big Coliseum, as though she had been there all her life and it was only her second show! This filly has an exciting, bright future ahead.
She has Multi Medallion Producer Boogie’s King- Bee and AQHA Elderberry Ace on her Top side, and Zip Code One, Zippo Pine Bar and Dreamfinder on her Bottom Side.
She is currently with her Trainer David Davis in Hardinsburg, Indiana, we can’t wait to see what more she can do.

Bred by John and Nancy Whittley of Mt Orab Ohio, Rocket is a lovely 2017 solid bay appaloosa mare who is already showing great promise in the show ring. She has been training with David Davis
in Hardinsburg, Indiana, and he has been so impressed with her progress, he entered her in her first show after only 8 months under saddle.
Her very first show was October 24th 2020 at the KRHA 3 Year Ranch Horse Challenge. She won 1st place in Ranch Riding, 3rd in cattle work, 3rd in Conformation, 4th in trail obstacles. Wound up 3rd place over all.
With the qualifications waived at the Appaloosa World Show in Fort Worth, we decided it would be fun to take her to see how she would do in a big show setting. She was entered in three classes.
