“If we had more Brad and Robin Harts in the business, it’d be a real easy business to be in.”

THEIR BUSY YEARS
While Brad still operated his sheet metal business and Robin cared for their son, Cody, now 33, and daughter, Cassidy, 25, the Harts built up their operation to breeding 12–14 mares a year
and sending the bulk of their horses to big sale consignments, keeping a select few to run themselves under trainer Blane Schvaneveldt and others.
In 2003, their homebred 3-year-old gelding Coded Signature, by The Signature and out of the Casady Casanova daughter Earls Deer Eyes, won the Purgatory Cup at Dixie Downs in St. George, Utah, setting a New Track Record for 870 yards and posting a 110 speed index.
The next year’s foal crop brought their all-time star, Sensual Lady, by Chicks Beduino and out of The Signature daughter Policy Signed. The filly won the Dixie Downs Futurity, her Bitterroot Quarter Horse Futurity trial and the Grade 2 final at Les Bois Park. She went on that year to win the Corona Chick Handicap-G3 at Los Alamitos and was named Idaho Champion 2-Year-Old Filly. Her sophomore year, she won her Bitterroot Derby trial and took third in the Grade 3 finals. She tallied a 14-6(3)-1-4(1) career record with earnings of $84,116 over two years on the track, earning multiple graded stakes winning status.
