Page 39 - Barrel Stallion Register 2016

This mare is the Firewaterontherocks leading money winner from the Barrel Futurities of America with $23,586.26 in earnings. She is the 2015 Old Fort Days Slot Race Champion and the Old Fort Days Finals Reserve Champion. She had the fastest qualifying time in the round.
Hip Swingin Gypsy is out of Buckle
Up Bunny by Leaving Memories by First Down Dash. This is our introduction of First Down Dash in the pedigree of a foal by Firewaterontherocks. The dam of Buckle Up Bunny is Shesachamp by Shirley’s Champion by Noholme II. You will recall that Pass
‘Em Up, the sire of Nava Pass, is sired by Noholme II, giving us a blood affinity to Noholme II. Here is another interesting blood affinity in this pedigree. Shesabo, the dam of Shesachamp, is sired by Ettabo by Deep Sun by Depth Charge.
The sixth leading money winner on
our list is Make No Assumption, winner of $21,359. This horse is a full brother to Hip Swingin Gypsy.
The fifth leading money winner is Rock On Ta Fame with earnings of $24,797.22 as a finalist at events like the Diamonds & Dirt Futurity and the Reserve Championship at the Lance Graves Pro Classic Slot Race.
Rock On Ta Fame is out of SB Helieva by Dash Ta Fame by First Down Dash.
The interesting part here is that Dash Ta Fame is out of Sudden Fame by Tiny’s Gay, giving us another cross to this stallion in the Firewaterontherocks’ foals.
When we go beyond the top five money earners, we see some similar findings like we saw with the sixth high money winner Make No Assumptions. The #7 money
Firewaterontherocks is destined to be part of the barrel horse racing history.
winner is Johnny On The Rocks, who is out of Thisdialsalady by Little John Dial by Johnny Dial by Depth Charge. The #8 money winner is SR Missfirewater and her dam is Masters Lady Jet by Mr Master Bug by Master Hand. This returns the blood
of Master Hand by Bold Ruler to the foal produced. The #10 money winner is Flame Of Fame, who is out of Louton’s Jet, who is out of Louton’s Fame by Dash Ta Fame. This
gives us another tie to the blood of Tiny’s Gay through Dash Ta Fame.
It doesn’t matter how it happens, when
we are destined to be a part of the horse industry we do it. This is the case with Robyn Herring and her pursuit to have a horse.
She is now a successful horse person as an owner, showman, trainer, breeder - and the success of her pursuit is found in her stallion Firewaterontherocks.
Firewaterontherocks is a seasoned WPRA barrel horse and in 2014 he was RFD TV’s American Rodeo Reserve Champion in barrel racing.
