ull 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.

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.

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 Weir
in 1975 to stand at Citation Farms in Jenks, Oklahoma, and by 1976, he was owned by Gerald Wells of Mounds, Oklahoma. His last home was in Geneva, Nebraska, when
he was purchased by the partnership of M K W Quarter Horses in 1978. The partnership consisted of Don Kimbrough, Victor Meyer and John Wilkins.
Triple Chick sired 779 foals, 457 starters and 222 racing ROM, including 28 stakes winners and 23 stakes placed runners. His foals earned $1,265,650 and his leading money earner is Chickamona. She won
six of her 21 starts earning $111,671 and was second to Go Dick Go in the 1966
All American Futurity. 1963 Autumn Championship winner Scooper Chick is Triple Chick’s second leading money earner with $60,543 and 13 wins in 35 starts, including five stakes races. Some of Triple
