Three Chicks
Full brothers Triple Chick and Three Chicks are two of the four sons of Three Bars and out of
Chicado V. The roots of these two stallions begins with their breeder Vessels Stallion Farm, the home they would leave to take different paths to make their mark on Quarter Horse racing. We will travel through their life to see how they and their dam are still influencing our horses today.
Foaled in 1955, Triple Chick foundered as a yearling and was unsound to race. So, he became a sire for the Vessels Stallion Farm based on his pedigree credentials. He joined the stallion roster that included Go Man Go and Anchor Watch TB.
The Vessels sold Triple Chick to Mel Hatley in 1966 to stand
at Briarwood Farms in Purcell, Oklahoma. Hatley sold him
in 1969 to Stephen J. Shovoly, where he went to Sho-Valy Farms in Ortonville, Michigan. His next move came in 1970, when he was purchased by Marvin Warner for his Warnerton Farms of Cincinnati, Ohio. Triple Chick was later purchased by Robert

This is just the tip of the iceberg when we look at pedigrees today and the influence of Chicado V and her sons Triple Chick and Three Chicks. Our profile of The Brothers shows us how they have contributed to Chicado V’s influence as one of those superior females and the many benefits we see from inbreeding to her genes.
