and the AQHA H all of F ame By Larry Thornton .....................................................................................................................................................

he stallion, Harlan, was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame in 2019. It has to be noted that in 1954 when a horseman named Bob Robey bought Harlan, he was looking to make him a roping gelding. So how did this would be gelding make the Hall of Fame as a stallion? Let’s find out from Mr. Robey, “Well, when I started this thing, which was a long time ago, there were two mares that I thought were the apex of the quarter horse breed, and they were Dee Gee and Squaw H. They were the kind of mares that could do something.” Dee Gee was one of the first AQHA Champions named when the association started awarding this honor. She was sired by Bartender and out of Scarlett by Little Fort. Squaw H was an AAA-rated race mare that was a stakes winner. She was sired by King P-234 and out of Queen H by Dan. Robey continued, “Hank H was a full brother to Squaw H, and I was a big fan of this great mare. So we went and bought a Hank H filly from Jack and Paul Smith of Indianola, Oklahoma. They owned and stood Hank H. We even took a mare down for a friend to be bred to Hank H. Then Hank H died, and I wrote a letter to Paul. By this time, Jack had gone with the Highway Patrol, and Paul was living on the old place. I asked Paul if he had any Hank H foals for sale, and he wrote back that he had a three-year-old stud and a Hard Twist gelding out of their ole King Mare for sale. So me, my wife, and my father-in-law went, and we bought Harlan. We bought Harlan for the Hank H with the intention of gelding him and roping calves on him.” Robey explained why the roping career was permanently put on hold, “Well, at that time, I was an amateur calf roper, and we weren’t interested in showing horses. But Harlan was quite a roping horse, and that’s what I bought him for. But the vet said I shouldn’t rope on him and then breed him. So we just bred him and raised colts. Of course, when his colts got big enough, then we started to show them.” When asked about what kind of performer Harlan was, Robey responded, “He

did everything quick. He was not an easy horse to rope on. He broke out of the box with a lot of gas. And when he stopped, he stopped. Everything was quick about him. He’d made a great roping horse if we’d went on with him.” A HALL OF FAME PEDIGREE When Harlan entered the AQHA Hall of Fame, he brought a pedigree that was steeped in quarter horse history. So today, he represents that history through his membership in the Hall of Fame. Harlan was foaled in 1951 as we said he was bred by Jack and Paul Smith of Indianola, Oklahoma. His sire Hank H was an AA-rated ROM racehorse. His race record included ten starts with two wins; one second and three thirds. He was a proven sire of ROM race and arena horses, including Little Bay Lady, an AA-rated race mare, and Hanky Doodle, a ROM arena horse that was an AQHA Champion. One of the great show horses sired by Hank H was Hank’s Sue. This great halter mare was the 1957 AQHA Honor Roll Halter Horse. Hank’s Sue is the dam of Leo San Hank by Leo San. Leo San Hank was the sire of Grulla San, dam of leading cutting horse sire High Brow Hickory the sire of the all-time leading sire of cutting horse. Hank H was sired by King P-234 was sired by Zantanon by Little Joe by Traveler. The dam of Zantanon was Jeanette by Billy. The dam of Jeanette was a Sykes Rondo mare by Sykes Rondo. The dam of King P-234 was Jabalina. Jabalina was sired by Strait Horse by Yellow Jacket. Yellow Jacket was sired by Little Rondo by Lock’s Rondo and out of Barbee Dun by Lock’s Rondo. The dam of Jabalina was a mare we know today as the Bay Quarter Mare. She is believed by many to be sired by Traveler. The dam of Hank H was Queen H by Dan by Joe Bailey. The dam of Queen H was a Nail Quarter Mare, whose breeding is unknown. Queen H was bred by J. H. Nail of Albany, Texas. She was a foundation mare for J. O. Hankins, brother to Jess Hankins, the owner of King P-234. The first foal out of Queen H and sired by King P-234 was Duchess H. Duchess H was shown but had no points. She is the dam of such noted horses as Balmy L Too by Balmy L, Black Texas by My Texas Dandy, Double Trouble

H by King P-234, and Bay Reba by Leo. The next foal for Queen H was Squaw H, the mare Robey thought a great deal of. She was rated AAA on the racetrack. She was a stakes winner of the Tucson Speed Stakes. Squaw H has had a major impact on the working horse through her son Squaw King, by King P-234. This would make Squaw King 1 X 2 inbred to King P-234. Squaw King was the sire of Squaw Leo. Squaw Leo was the sire of the NRHA Hall of Fame stallion Be Aech Enterprise. Be Aech Enterprise is one of the NRHA Million Dollar sires. His foals have earned in excess of $1,000,000, including Trashadeous, the famous paint stallion that is an NRHA Hall of Fame member. Squaw H is found in the 7th generation of the tail female line of Apollitical Jess, a leading racehorse sire of over $45 million and the sire of three of the last four All American Futurity winners in Apocalyptical Jess (2018), Mr Jess Jenkins (2019) and KJ Desparado (2021). The third foal out of Queen H and by King P-234 was Hank H. Then, in 1944 Flapper H was foaled. This daughter of King P-234 was the dam of the AQHA Champion Flapper’s Breeze and the ROM racehorse Hard Twist II. Booger H was Queen H’s 1945 foal. This stallion was racing ROM with an AA rating. He won eight races in 23 starts. Booger H was a successful sire with AQHA Champions like Booda Bar, Boomer Isle, Cue Stick, and Jericho Lark to his credit. One of his daughters, Redwood Ruth, is the dam of Boogerette Chex, the dam of multiple AQHA World Champion Peppy Badger Chex. ...................................................................

Jon Mixer son of Orren Mixer tells us that this Harlan picture has its own story. “I had been shooting some horse pictures for a few years and some friends of mine ran across this picture at a yard sale and they bought it. They were telling me about the picture of a horse that they thought was great and showed it to me. I told them that’s the picture Dad took of Harlan back in the 50s. They gave it to me. Dad later signed it.” - Photo Courtesy Jon Mixer

The Working Lines continued Queen H’s next King P-234 foal was Your Highness. This mare was AA-rated on the race track with her ROM. Your Highness was the dam of the ROM racehorse Eterna. The next performer from the King P-234 and Queen H cross was Joe Hank. This stallion was an AQHA Champion with 29 performance points with a ROM and 14 halter points. He was an NCHA money earner. Joe Hank is a proven sire with foals like Hank’s Jet, an AQHA Champion. Queen Dawn was Queen H’s 1955 foal sired by King P-234. This mare earned 11 AQHA halter points. She was the dam of the ROM runner Kecia. This AAA-rated runner was sired by Top Deck (TB). The last King P-234 foal out of Queen H was King’s Queen Ann. This mare was the dam of three performers, including Bill’s Queen Ann, seven performance points, Miss San Ann, NCHA money earner, and Hollywood Gloss, NCHA money earner. The dam of Harlan was Dixie Beach. We will let Mr. Robey tell us how his respect for Dixie Beach grew, “Well, one time I was down to the Smith’s, and they showed me a little ole buckskin mare. They said this is Dixie Beach. That didn’t mean anything to me. I just looked over the stall door at her and saw this little old buckskin mare heavy in foal. So when we bought Harlan, we didn’t know who Dixie Beach was. But when I got home, I did a little research, and I made up my mind that Harlan may be out of as good a mare as the stud he was sired by. So we started breeding him, and his roping career never came about.” Dixie Beach was sired by Beetch’s Yellow Jacket and out of Mayflower by Nail Driver. She was bred by Mike Beetch and his son Harlan of Lawton, Oklahoma. The Beetchs were Oklahoma horse traders that counted the Burnett Ranches and the Waggoner Ranch in Texas as clients. The Burnett Ranch through the Triangle Ranch has such mares as Triangle Lady 17, the dam of the Burnett Ranch bred Hollywood Gold. Triangle Lady 17 came from the Beetchs. It was Harlan Beetch that related the following about how Dixie Beach came to be bred by the Beetchs. Harlan Beetch told his story to Franklin Reynolds in the article “Mayflower, Grandam of Bert and Matriarch of the Breed, Parts I and II” that appeared in the November 1957 issue of THE QUARTER HORSE JOURNAL. It all started when the Beetch’s saw Dixie Beach’s dam Mayflower race at Altus, Oklahoma. 18 Working HorseorMmore agazine Winter “There were a dozen horses in

that race, and when the barrier went up, Mayflower was left at the post. Bobby Tiner was the jockey, and I’ve never seen a mare run like she did. She soon caught the field and then came right on through it and right into the lead. Where there wasn’t an opening, she made one, and she won easily. The race was an eighth of a mile, and as they finished, my father turned to me and asked if I had seen what he saw. I nodded, and then he told me we had to have that mare.” The Beetchs bought Mayflower for $500.00. They continued her race career for six more years. Her race career ended with an injury. She went on to produce five foals, three colts, and two fillies. All five foals were sired by Beetch’s Yellow Jacket. The fillies were Dixie Beach and Lady Coolidge. The pedigree of Mayflower is very limited. She was sired by a horse known as Nail Driver. The pedigree of this horse was unknown. The pedigree of Snip, her dam, was unknown, but it was reported by Reynolds in his “Mayflower” story that she was of “Steel Dust blood.” She was owned by Billy Fowler, a rancher between Marlow and Lindsay, Oklahoma. Nail Driver was owned by John Millwee of Marlow, Oklahoma. The circumstances of how the Beetch’s obtained the stallion that became known as Beetch’s Yellow Jacket is very similar to how they got Mayflower. They went to a race meet at Lawton, Oklahoma, and saw a colt run “green.” But they liked what they saw and bought the colt. He went on to reportedly win 24 of 25 races. Beetch’s Yellow Jacket was bred on the famed Waggoner Ranch of Vernon, Texas. The official pedigree of Beetch’s Yellow Jacket shows that he was sired by Yellow Wolf. Yellow Wolf was sired by Old Joe Bailey or Weatherford Joe Bailey. Old Joe Bailey was sired by Eureka by Shelby. His dam was Susie McWhirter by (Old) Ben Burton. The dam of Yellow Wolf was Old Mary by (Old) Ben Burton. This would make Yellow Wolf 3 X 2 inbred to (Old) Ben Burton. The dam of Old Mary was Mandy by Old Dutchman. Old Dutchman was sired by Lock’s Rondo. The dam of Beetch’s Yellow Jacket was a mare sired by Yellow Jacket. This is the Yellow Jacket in the pedigree of King P-234. Yellow Jacket was the sire of Strait Horse, sire of the dam of King P-234. This gives Harlan a 5 X 4 breeding pattern to Yellow Jacket. It also gives him seven 2021 crosses to Lock’s Rondo through Hank H

and Dixie Beach. Dixie Beach was the dam of 14 registered foals, and many of them have had an impact on the quarter horse as a breed. Her first foal listed on her AQHA Internet Record for Produce of Dam was Trigg by Tom Benear. Trigg was registered in the National Quarter Horse Breeders Association. The NQHBA Stud Book tells us that he was a bay gelding. He was foaled in 1943 and bred by a Dan Trigg of Amarillo, Texas. The AQHA Internet Record on this horse has no birth date. The first Dixie Beach foal registered was Tom Benear. He was foaled in 1936. This makes Trigg the product of Dixie Beach being bred back to her son Tom Benear. Tom Benear was bred by Bert Benear and owned for many years by Guy M. Troutman of Tucumcari, New Mexico. Tom Benear was sired by Tommy Clegg. Tommy Clegg would play a major role in the life of Dixie Beach and her sister Lady Coolidge. He was bred by George A. Clegg, the famous South Texas breeder whose name is associated with such outstanding individuals as Little Joe, Hickory Bill, and Sam Watkins. Clegg was the breeder of Old Sorrel, foundation sire of the King Ranch line of Quarter Horse. Sam Watkins was bred by Samuel Watkins of Petersburg, Illinois. Watkins was the breeder of Peter McCue, the sire of Hickory Bill. George Clegg bought Sam Watkins and eventually used him as a replacement for Hickory Bill. The next Dixie Beach foal registered in the AQHA was Little Jodie. This 1938 bay stallion was sired by Little Joe Springer, a foundation sire of the C. S. Ranch in New Mexico. Little Joe Springer was sired by Old Joe by Harmon Baker by Peter McCue. The dam of Old Joe was a Jim Ned Mare by Jim Ned. Jim Ned was sired by Pancho. Pancho was sired by Old Billy and out of the famous mare Paisiana. The dam of Little Joe Springer was the Old English Mare by Ute Chief (TB), and she was out of a Brown Mare by Uhlan II. If Dixie Beach would have been the dam of only Little Jodie, her place in quarter horse history would have been set. This great stallion sired Jodie The Tuff. The sire record of Jodie The Tuff includes the AQHA Champions Tuff’s Baldy and Tuff’s Becky. The greatest contribution of Jodie The Tuff could very well be the mare Sutherland’s Miss. Sutherland’s Miss was the dam of the great sires Bueno Chex, My Lady Chex, and Fritz Command, all three AQHA

Champions. Sutherland’s Miss was out of Tangerine W by Bert P-227. Bert P-227 was sired by Tommy Clegg and out of Lady Coolidge, the full sister to Dixie Beach. Next on our list of horses sired by Little Jodie is Muskogee Red. Muskogee Red was out of Trixie Blake by Bert P-227. Muskogee Red was the sire of Marler’s Blue. Marler’s Blue is the dam of the ROM performer Unikia. This good cutter was shown four times in AQHA cutting classes, winning two of them. Unikia is an NCHA money winner in cutting as well. Unikia was sired by Roman Nose by Bert. Marler’s Blue was out of Cricket W, who was out of Lou by Bert P-227. This makes Unikia a cross of Dixie Beach and Lady Coolidge. Pudden Head is the next Little Jodie foal we’ll talk about. This stallion was the sire of Sapp Head, who was the broodmare sire of Bob Acre Doc. Bob Acre Doc was a two-time NCHA World Champion Cutting Horse, once in the open and once in the Non-Pro. Bob Acre Doc is a proven sire with foals like Bobs Smokin Joe, NCHA Futurity Champion. Bob Acre Doc sired Abrakadabracre. This horse was the 2002 AQHA World Champion Junior Cutting Horse. Abrakadabracre is the sire of Sweet

Abra dam of horses that have won over $1.7 million, including Metallic Rebel, the 2017 NCHA Horse of the Year. Sweet Abra has a full sister in My Little Abra dam of the 2016 NCHA Horse of the Year Ichis My Choice. Red Star Joe was another prominent son of Little Jodie. This stallion was the sire of Ready Money W, Tiny Brown, and Monsieur Joe, to name a few. Ready Money W was the sire of Miss Carver and Ready Monika. Miss Carver was the dam of Ready Monika. This makes Ready Monika 1 X 2 inbred to Ready Money W. Ready Monika was the dam of Monika, one of the first great reining horses shown by Bob Loomis. Monika was sired by Okie Leo. Ready Money W was out of Money by Bert P-227. This gives us another cross of Dixie Beach and Lady Coolidge. Tiny Brown was the dam of Sonny Champ; an AQHA Champion sired by Poco Champ. Monsieur Joe was the second horse to be named the AQHA High Point Halter Horse. He earned his title in 1953. We have to add at this point that the sire of the dams of Tiny Brown and Monsieur Joe was Bert. P-227 is giving us two more examples of a mixture of Dixie ZANTANON ch 1917 QUARTER HORSE U0081745 JABALINA br 1920 QUARTER HORSE DAN 1 sor 1920 QUARTER HORSE U0070045 NAIL QUARTER MARE

Beach and her sister Lady Coolidge. Dean Oliver was an 11-time PRCA World Champion and Tie-Down Roping Champion. His two primary horses were Mickey, a gelding whose pedigree is unknown, and Nancy or Nancy Red Star, as she was registered in the AQHA. She was sired by Red Star Joe by Little Jodie son of Dixie Beach. The dam of Nancy was Nancy I by Bert P-227, the son of Lady Coolidge. The last Little Jodie foal we will talk about at this point is V’s Mocha Jo. This mare is the dam of Dark’s Leo by Leo San. Dark’s Leo is the sire of Paul’s Fancy. The dam of Paul’s Fancy is My Gay Fancy by Dark’s Leo. This makes Paul’s Fancy 1 X 2 inbred to Dark’s Leo. Paul’s Fancy is the second dam of Bowman’s Fancy. This mare is the winner of the Reserve Championship of the NCHA Open Super Stakes. She has earned $287,243. Bowman’s Fancy is the dam of several noted cutters, including Dualin Jewels, an NCHA Open Futurity Reserve Champion. The next foal out of Dixie Beach was San Siemon’s Dixie, a 1939 bay mare by San Siemon. This mare is the dam of Dixie Siemon by Star Deck. Dixie Siemon is the dam of Silver Siemon by Silver King.

Silver Siemon was the dam of Cutter’s Dixie by Cutter Bill. Cutter’s Dixie is the dam of Uno Dixie by Jose Uno. Uno Dixie is the dam of Brinks Hickory Joe. This Doc’s Hickory stallion is the winner of $105,859 in NCHA Cuttings. He is the sire of Spirit Of Five, an NRHA Reining Futurity Champion and All American Quarter Horse Congress Futurity Reining Champion. Uno Dixie is the dam of First Little Lena and Fives Hermana. First, Little Lena earned $62,431 in the arena. She was the Reserve Champion of Tropicana 4-Year-Old Open Futurity Co-Reserve Champion. Fives Hermana was the Sunbelt Non-Pro Futurity Co-Reserve Champion. She is the dam of Dixie Dual, AQHA World Champion Junior Cutting Horse and Smart April, Abilene Western 4-Year-Old Open Reserve Champion. The 1940 foal of Dixie Beach was Bailarina. This mare was sired by Tommy Clegg. She was the dam of several ROM arena horses and racehorses. Her top performer was Short Spark by Short cut. This palomino stallion was an AQHA Champion with a Superior in Reining. He was the 1960 AQHA Honor Roll Reining Horse and the 1959 AQHA Honor Roll Western Riding Stallion.

Dixie Ann B was a 1942 dun mare. She was sired by Tommy Clegg and out of Dixie Beach. This mare was the dam of four performers with one ROM and one NCHA Money winner. The ROM was Poco Glenn by Poco Jacket. The NCHA money winner was Mora San by San Siemon. The next foal for Dixie Beach was Little Dixie Beach. This 1943 brown mare was the dam of a number of performers, including Paul A. This stallion, sired by Star Deck, was one of the first AQHA Champions. He was a noted sire with AQHA Champions like Star Spangled, Paularine, and Paulalika. The dam record of Little Dixie Beach includes the AQHA Champions Dear’s Cheta, and Dear’s Matinee. These foals came about when Little Dixie Beach was owned by the Birdtail Ranch of Doug and Nancy Dear. The mare Little Mayflower was foaled in 1944. She was sired by San Siemon. This mare has no performers to report in the AQHA. Next came M’s Tom Benear II by Tommy Clegg. This stallion earned two halter points and one performance point. He was an NCHA money earner. This stallion was the only official point earner in the AQHA out of Dixie Beach. Dixann was a bay mare foaled in 1947.

She was the dam of four ROM racehorses. They include Dixie Anna, Gandy Dancer, Miss Teen, and Three Degrees. Dixie Mike was foaled in 1948 out of Dixie Beach and sired by San Siemon. He has no show or sire record to report. Dandy Girl was Dixie Beach’s 1949 foal. She was sired by Little Mike. This mare has no show, or produce record. Bay Pee Wee was also sired by Little Mike. He was foaled in 1950. This stallion sired several performers like the AQHA Champion Sammy H McCue. Some of his ROM performers were Boy Booger, Chock’s Pee Wee, and Mr Cravit. Harlan was the last registered foal out of Dixie Beach. As you can see, this mare has been a great influence on the quarter horse as a breed, especially when teamed with her sister Lady Coolidge. She was truly a foundation mare for the breed, and we have only scratched the surface of her descendants. She is one of the reasons we have come to know that “great sires have great mothers,” and now we know why it was important for Bob Robey to give up his idea of gelding Harlan and then allowing his stallion to become a member of the AQHA Hall of Fame. Next time we will look at Harlan, the sire.

When top performance requires the right nutrition, HorsLic® is the supplement solution

HorsLic® supplements are Nutritionally Engineered through unique, patented manufacturing process. This process results in a supplement that delivers essential vitamins and minerals, while providing balanced omega-3 fatty acids. HorsLic® Supplements mimic grazing habits of horses in their natural habitat. Our purple tubs offer sweet, cooked molasses blocks packed with readily available and balanced nutrition to supplement forages or other nutrient sources such as grain, pelleted feeds, or oats. HorsLic® supplements work in two ways–delivering essential vitamins and minerals and providing balanced omega-3 fatty acids (ALA) supplementation for all classes of horses. HorsLic supplements provide high energy levels through a patented process, and the best part is our supplements are self-fed and self limiting. The continuous flow process creates a nutritionally balanced and consistent supplement without chemical binders, fillers, or hardeners. Research shows that feeding HorsLic® provides balanced nutrition and helps improve forage utilization, and that combined with HorsLic’s low intakes and high levels of omega-3 fatty acids make a convenient and nutrient dense supplement solution. Worried about sugars/carbohydrates/NSC? NSC (nonstructural carbohydrates) are often referenced in relation to sugar content. NSC, as partitioned by digestibility, would include mono‐ and di‐saccharides, starch, oligosaccharides, and fructans. NSC are readily broken down and absorbed in the small intestine providing a good source of energy when provided in the right proportions and times. For hardworking performance horses or breed stock such as stallions, pregnant or lactating mares, this added boost of energy is necessary in order for the horse to maintain body condition and endurance while working. Horses breakdown and absorb carbohydrates in the small intestine, which is usually 50‐70 feet long. The ability to absorb and properly utilize these nutrients is determined by the amount consumed per feeding. The digestion threshold for starch in the small intestine is 0.2‐0.4% of bodyweight per meal. Intakes over this

can cause hindgut overload leading to colic or laminitis. This is where a low moisture block like HorsLic® is a wonderful tool as it restricts the horse from consuming too much at any one time. A typical horse may visit HorsLic® tubs in a pasture between 6 and 12 times per day but only consume 1‐3 pounds in total, or about 2.5‐3.5 oz of HorsLic® per meal. For a 1,000 pound horse each HorsLic® meal would provide 0.006% of bodyweight NSC, well below the 0.2‐0.4% digestion threshold of the small intestine, or about the same amount of NSC as a couple of apple slices! In fact, if higher total intakes of starch and sugar are required to maintain energy levels but the potential for digestive upset or laminitic episodes is a primary concern, the horse may benefit from more frequent but smaller meals during periods when extra calories are needed to recover from hard work.

OVER 100 MILLION RELY ON WORKING HORSES, DONKEYS AND MULES FOR FAMILY SURVIVAL. Dr. Jay Merriam, of Colorado and has written for WHM, is the Co-Founder of Equitarian Initiative. The Equitarian Initiative international team consists of volunteer veterinarians, surgeons, vet techs, animal scientists, farriers, and students. The team travels to Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Morocco, and South Dakota, providing global impact. There are approximately 100 million working equids in the world, representing 90% of the world’s horse population. They are essential for trade, commerce, transportation, and subsistence agriculture. The ownership of a working equid means a family can generate a livelihood or a child can access an education or medical attention. Communities worldwide rely on these hard-working animals. Very few families have the resources for veteraniary treatment. They work with communities to ensure these animals get the care they need.

38 Working Horse Magazine Winter 2021

Traveling to remote areas of the world, our team provides extensive educational training to local animal caregivers on a wide variety of best practices in equine medicine. Communities, including local children, are active participants in medical treatment and work collaboratively with our teams to ensure long-term solutions to chronic challenges. This cooperative approach fosters a two-way educational and cultural exchange of information. Children are often tasked as animal caregivers, so we have developed resources and materials such as our children’s coloring book to teach basic concepts in animal treatment and husbandry. Working with the local children makes a lasting impact on sustained animal welfare practices all over the world. The Equitarian Initiative also delivers continuing education, hands-on field training, and multi-lingual experiences for the students and professionals who attend our international programs.

Mares with More| H arlans Bobbie Joe

By Larry Thornton ........................................................................................................................................................................................................ y dictionary defines the word “fate” as the development of events outside a person’s control, regarded as predetermined by a supernatural power. This definition of fate fits the life of a mare named Harlans Bobbi Jo, a 1998 buckskin mare owned and bred by Benny and Susan Scarberry of Clinton, Arkansas. This mare earned 344 AQHA roping points earning superiors in heading, heeling, and tie-down roping to become an AQHA Performance Champion. She will be our Mares With More topic for this issue. Benny and Susan recently told me the story of how their life with Harlan horses and Harlans Bobbi Jo unfolded, and as they describe it, the role fate played in their life. Susan started the story this way, “I was raised in a family that really wasn’t into horses, but apparently, I was born loving horses. Other little girls wanted dolls, and I had little plastic horses that I played with. Now Benny’s folks, they all had horses, and he rode when he was growing up. But I didn’t till I was in the third or fourth grade, and I wanted one so much that dad went to the cattle sale and bought one for me. So they did try to help me have horses.” She continued about how Harlan came into their life, “When Benny and I got together and really how we got into the Harlan business started with I wanted broodmares, and he wasn’t as interested in that. He was still training horses. He would go buy prospects, and he would make roping horses out of them: calf horses, that kind of thing. We had lucked into a couple of geldings that had Harlan in their pedigree. They were big stopping horses making great calf horses. Benny recalled one of those Harlan bred geldings this way, “The first Harlan bred horse we had was a Zan Parr Bar/Harlan cross. We used to go to Shawnee to buy horses. Bring them home and try to make a rope horse out of them. If they didn’t, I would sell them or trade them. One time when we went to Shawnee, there was a palomino three-year-old. He was a nice horse. And Sue said, ‘I think I will go bid on him, and I told her to not bid over so much for him. I was in the back watching the bids, and when he got past the spot that I told her, I guessed we didn’t get him.’ So I go back in there, and here she comes with the horse. She said, ‘I got him.’ I said, ‘My gosh, you must have given quite a bit more for him than I thought we were going to give for him.’ She said, ‘Yes!” Benny continued, “To make the long story short. When we brought him home, he made the best calf horse to ever be on this place. He was amazing. I sold him to a PRCA guy in Utah.” Benny recalled their conversation about Harlan bred horses, “We had never heard of Harlan. I said, ‘What is this horse?’ She said, - Well, he’s a Harlan. I said, ‘What is that?’ She said, ‘Well, I don’t know.’ I said, ‘This is the stoppinest colt we have ever had around here. Why don’t you find out about them?” Susan continued, “So I started to look, and the first ones I found had been crossed on the halter horse bloodlines, and that wasn’t what he wanted. So I kept looking and got in touch with the AQHA, and they put me in touch with Bob Robey. (He was the owner of the dam of the Harlan bred gelding they bought at the Shawnee Sale.) Mr. Robey was living out at Perkins, and I called him told him who

52 Working Horse Magazine Winter 2021

I was and what we were looking for, and why we were looking for it. He said, ‘You know Harlan is buried here in my backyard.’ We had no idea at that time that he had owned Harlan most of his life.” She interjected about what transpired next, “We struck up a great friendship with the Bob and Joan Robey. I got to go with them more than Benny did, but we went all over looking at horses and had the best time. He knew where some of the good old mares were, and he helped us track them down so we could lease some of the mares or buy some of the mares and raise babies. They were great friends, and enjoyed visiting with them so much. My mother and father are great parents, and I love them, but Bob and Joan very became special like my horse parents.” Susan went on to describe how the trips were so much fun because they knew the history behind so many horses and the people associated with them. “It was like every town we went in they had a racetrack, and he knew the stories about the horses and men that ran them.” So the Scarberry’s were in the Harlan business when they found a Harlan mare that would change their life. Susan then told us about that mare, “Mr. Robey had helped us find several of the good mares. But he was not involved with finding Shesa Texas Risk, which was Bobbi Jo’s dam. But when he saw her pedigree, he got so excited not so much about the Harlan, but she had some horses that I had never heard of, Possum and Tony. I had never heard about those horses, and he got so excited because he knew about those horses. And when we bred her to Jodie Bob Harlan, he was excited about her as anything we had owned. He was right; it was a magic cross; first, we got Bobby Jo, right after that, we got her full brother Harlan Tony, and then JB (Jodie Bob Harlan) died. We tried to breed her to some other Harlan stallions, and it was not the same; they were not as special as that JB cross was. It was absolutely amazing.” Benny will fill us in on how they got Shesa Texas Risk, “I went to Fort Worth to sell a head horse, and then I bought a drop-dead gorgeous mare. They were roping on her, and I think I gave like $3500 for her. Well, I started home, and I dropped her off at Jess Elrod’s and told him to get a ROM on her, and then we would bring her home and breed her.” He continued, “Well, about two days later, he called me and told me to come and get the mare. She was dangerous and crazy. Well, I tried to rope on her, and she was dangerous. We had a friend that lived near Kansas City named Jan Switzer. She knew a horse trader that had just traded for a Harlan bred mare that she thought we might be interested in and that we might be able to buy her. So I called him and visited with him, and I told him about this mare. He said to bring her. So I cleaned her up real good and put a blanket on her, and went up to Kansas City. When I got there, he brought out this ole mare, and she was starved to death. The little bitty long-haired mare looked awful. He said, What do you think? I said, ‘Well, I will tell you what I am going to do. I am going to trade you even, and I am going to give you a chance to back out. Boy, he jumped all over that, and we swapped, and I brought the mare home. She ended up being the mommy of Bobby Jo and Tony.” He then added, “I heard through the grapevine that he gave up on the mare too and got rid of her.” Bobbi Jo Harlan was born in 1998. When she hit the ground, she

Mares with More continued appeared to be special from the beginning, “When Bobbi Joe was born there at Bob’s place, her eyes were a blueish color, and I thought they might be blue, but he said they would not be blue, but they turned to almost a golden color. They are still that way; it is a non-color.” The following year Harlan Tony was born to the mating of Sweet Texas Risk and Jodie Bob Harlan. Here is what took place next, “Mr. Robey’s horse JB (Jodie Bob Harlan) died. He went to bed for a week after that. So we took Harlan Tony out there and gave him to Mr. Robey and told him this is your next stud. We eventually got Harlan Tony back from Mr. Robey, who had Young Bert Harlan to use. They had plans for Harlan Tony when they brought him home, but they opted to take a different route with him, “We were wanting to show him, and he was actually more athletic than Bobbi Jo. But we had all these mares, and I couldn’t train one and breed one at the same time.” Harlan Tony has sired good horses that show the versatility, including CD Harlan with 63 AQHA points earning his ROM. He is an open and amateur world show qualifier in barrels, pole bending, heading, and heeling. He was a world show finalist in heading in 2009. Harley Quinn One, a daughter of Harlan Tony, is a barrel mare that was a finalist for the NBHA Youth Teen World Finals in Perry, Ga, in 2017. His daughters are producers as well. They include Harlasuzan, the dam of Zoe Harlan, a competitor in the Western Dressage Classes in the Equine Trail Sports Obstacle Trail Challenge Events. This challenge event has a two-part process. The horse and rider do an arena obstacle class, and then they go on a trail where they go to an obstacle and get judged and then on to the next obstacle. The length of the trail is between two and six miles. THE PERFORMANCE RECORD Susan recalled about what happened when they brought Harlans Bobbi Jo home as a weanling, “We brought her home, and we had a tremendous crop of babies that year. She was so mean that Benny put her up in a stall by herself to bring her to her senses. She was okay after that. When they started to break that bunch of colts, and Benny is a pretty good horseman, he was so impressed with her when he started to ride her. “ We will let Benny tell us what it was like and what he was thinking, “Just before she was two, we started riding all of them. I rode her about a week, and I told Sue she was so special everything was so easy for her. She was entirely different from anything we had had before.” He further explained, “We would take the mares to get their ROM and then breed them so they would have a little show record. But I told Sue if we are ever going to show one for real, we should send this one to Bobby Lewis or somebody and see what happens. So we took her to Bobby’s. I had ridden her two or three weeks before we took her. So he basically broke her and trained her. She spent her two, three, and four years down there. He did all the training and work on her.” He continued about her show career, “She was the circuit champion at every show that she went to in one event or other. That includes Houston, Denver, Fort Worth, all those shows. We showed her in heading, heeling, and tie-down roping. She was in the lead for the high point in I think it was 2002, and she was way ahead of everybody for the year. They had always given a truck for the high point, and that year they gave a two-horse stock trailer. So I told Bobby it was going to cost me more than what the trailer was worth, so we brought her home. We showed from December to July that the break, he took 54 Wher orking Horse Magazine Wyear. interAfter 2021

her back to the world show that year and finished third in heading. Then they added some tie-down roping points, “I told Bobby she was about four or five points from having her Superior in calf roping. So in December, he took her to Tulsa, and she won the calf roping to earn her Performance Championship. She was circuit champion at the next show they went to.” Despite the long break in the 2002 show season, she still finished second for the High Point Junior Heading and Heeling Horse. She was fifth in the High Point Heading and sixth in the High Point Heeling as well as fourth in the High Point Junior Tie-Down Roping. She would qualify for the World Show in 2003 in her three events. She finished her AQHA career with 344 AQHA points with 161 in heading, 126.5 in heeling, and 56.5 in tie-down roping to be superior in all three events and an AQHA Performance Champion. The Scarberrys then sold her to Tylan Campbell as his roping horse, and then Brandon Harris showed her in the IFR finals. They were the high-point team roping average winners at this event. By this time, the Scarberrys had a chance to get their mare back, and so they brought her home. This time she was home to stay but not the end of her show career. Benny and his son Casey showed her. Casey rode her in high school rodeos, and Benny rode her in jackpot ropings. BREEDING CAREER Then Benny and Susan made a change in their program for the mare. Benny explained it this way, “I was showing her at these little ole jackpots, and finally one day Sue said, Aren’t you going to breed her? I said I like riding her.’ She then asked, ‘How much do those little ole five-dollar roping’s paying you?’ I said, Hmm, Maybe we better breed her.” Harlans Bobbi Jo started her career as a broodmare in 2008 with Mc Harlan, an AQHA unshown gelding by Miss N Cash. Her next foal was Harlans Money Talks by Meradas Money Talks in 2009, also unshown in the AQHA. The third foal for Harlans Bobbi Jo was Harlans Top Gun by Real Gun in 2010. This colt was sold to Mary Maxom as a breeding stallion for their MP Performance Harlan breeding program. Real Gun was the 2004 AQHA World Show Superhorse and an AQHA Performance Champion. He was Superior in tie-down roping, heading, and heeling. She was an AQHA point earner in cutting, reining, and working cow horse with 453 AQHA Points. Some of the colts Harlans Top Gun has sired include Harlans Lucky Seven, Yamini Harlan, and Top Guns Two Step. With trainer and owner Becky Amio in the saddle, they have each won the Ranchers Quarter Horse Breeders (RQHBA) Two-YearOld Ranch Horse Versatility Futurity. Harlans Samba, owned by Ashley Secrest and another full sister to Yamini Harlan, and Top Guns Two-Step won the Three-Year-Old Division of the 2021 RQHBA Versatility Futurity. Harlans Lucky Seven, the winner of last year’s two-year-old division, was second in the three-year-old. Becky also rode Harlans Red Fox, who was second the year he competed in the RQHBA Versatility Futurity. Tragedy struck when Harlans Bobbi Jo lost her next foal, and they almost lost her. So they quit breeding her until Bobby Glo Harlan was foaled in 2016. Susan explained it this way, “We didn’t breed her after she lost that colt, and then we decided to try it again. Benny talked to Bobby about it. They actually talked about breeding her to Dual Spark. But Benny was afraid to do that because she is a buckskin and Dual Spark was a buckskin, and she had thrown a lot of color in her foals. So Bobby suggested his son CSR Dual Glo

and that is who we bred her to and got Bobby Glo Harlan. He is a chip off the ole block. He has done an amazing job for us. We are so proud of him.” Benny recalled the day they took Bobby Glo Harlan to Bobby Lewis for training, “We got up one morning to take him to Bobby. He was barely halter broke. It took me about 30 minutes to get him in the trailer. When we got down to Bobby’s and his two-year-old man said to put him in the round pen. I told him I put him in the trailer now it is your turn to get him out. Anyway, we got him out, and we started home.” “We drove about an hour, and we stopped to eat when I got a text with a video with him loping him in the round pen with a halter on. He had never been fooled with. The colt didn’t even lead, and he was loping with a halter on in an hour.” Bobby Glo Harlan has followed in the footsteps of his dam with 113.5 roping points in two events, and he has outdone his dam with the 2020 AQHA World Championship in Junior Heeling. He has earned 57.5 AQHA points in heading and 56 points in heeling with ½ point in halter and a Reserve Grand Championship in performance halter. THE PEDIGREE Linebreeding is a common breeding system used in the American Quarter Horse, and that is a good thing when it comes to some of the bloodlines we intend to keep in the breed. We line breed to a keep a high relationship to that common ancestor in our breeding program. We do this to make these bloodlines a viable factor in the outcrossing process with other bloodlines. This is how we outcross within the breed by crossing different families or bloodlines to get hybrid vigor. Over the years, we have seen the development of such bloodlines as the Old Sorrel horses at the King Ranch, King P-234s, the Blackburns, the Joe Hancocks, the Lucky Blantons, and the Driftwoods

SHESA TEXAS RISK b 1980 QUARTER HORSE #1627935

to name a few. But now, we can add the Harlan bloodline through a group of breeders that are preserving this valuable bloodline. Bob Robey was the original developer of the Harlan bloodlines. When he lost this great stallion, he kept on going by linebreeding to Harlan. A number of breeders have joined in on Bob’s quest to perpetuate the blood of Harlan. Harlans Bobbi Jo has a linebreeding pattern to Harlan. A look at her pedigree will give us an interesting look at not only the linebreeding to Harlan but also his dam Dixie Beach and her full sister Lady Coolidge and how they often appear in the pedigree together. We see a good example of the linebreeding to Dixie Beach and Lady Coolidge through Harlan Okmulgee, her grandsire. Her sire Jodie Bob Harlan was bred by Bob Robey. He was sired by Harlan Okmulgee, who was bred by Harold Hudspeth, a Harlan Syndicate member. He was sired by Harlan and out of Quarter Mulgee by V’s Quarter Boy. V’s Quarter Boy was sired by Bert P-227, a son of Lady Coolidge. The dam of Quarter Mulgee was V’s Miss Okmulgee by Little Jodie, a son of Dixie Beach and making him a ½ brother to Harlan. This gives Okmulgee a breeding pattern of 2 X 4 X 4 to Dixie Beach and Lady Coolidge. Harlettas Image by Triple’s Image is the dam of Jodie Bob Harlan. She was bred by Mr. Robey. Her dam was Red Harletta by Harlan. She was out of one of the great mare families that Mr. Robey had in his broodmare band. She was out of Red River Rose by Roper Boy, and her dam was Oklahoma Rosie, a foundation mare for Mr. Robey. Now let’s look at Shesa Texas Risk and her Harlan blood, as well as the bloodlines that interested Mr. Robey when he saw her pedigree. Her sire was Harlans Te N Te by Azure Te, and his dam was Miss Harlann by Harlan. The dam of Miss Harlann was Leo San Ann by Harlan. This gives Harlans Bobbi Jo a breeding pattern of 3 X 4 X 5 X 4 Harlan.

Earlier in our discussion of Bob Robey’s reaction to the pedigree Shesa Texas Risk, we heard names like Tony and Possum that he showed enthusiasm for. So let’s look at her pedigree. She was out of Texas Risk, and she was sired by Mr Crest Tex, a son of Texas Dandy. Now this name should ring a bell. Texas Dandy was the sire of Dandy Doll, the dam of Doc Bar. Texas Dandy was sired by My Texas Dandy, and he was out of Streak by Lone Star. The dam of Mt Crest Tex was Dinah F by Rowdy. Rowdy was sired by Tony P-776. The dam of Texas Risk was Lady Risk by Red Risk by Tony P-776. Tony was a ranch and rodeo horse that he ended up with Rancho Jabali, the home of Driftwood in California. He was the sire of horses like Coaster bred by the Rancho Jabali. He sired five AQHA Champions in Coaster’s Pride, Morris’ Crystal, Morris’ Jewel, Morris’ Nick, and Morris’ Sheri. One of the daughters of Tony is Quiz Kid. She was the dam of Doc’s Tule Lu, the dam of San Tule Lu, the dam of San Tule Freckles, the 2001 NCHA Open Futurity Champion. Tony P-776 was sired by Guinea Pig, a son of a son of Possum by Traveler. The dam of Tony was a mare by Bulger by Traveler. This gives Tony a 3 X 3 breeding pattern to Traveler. Possum was out of Jenny by Sykes Rondo, and this makes him a full brother to Little Joe, who sired Zantanon, who sired King P-234. Possum would be a famous Texas runner that once raced against Yellow Jacket, a race he won. He went from Texas to Arizona and to a new name of Possum. We often see his name Possum (King) in the early pedigrees. Possum can be found in many pedigrees today, but he is very prominent in the pedigree of the great roping horse and sire Lucky Blanton who has a breeding pattern of 3 X 3 X 3 to Possum. When we look back at the pedigree of Rowdy, we see his dam was a daughter of Guinea Pig, giving him a breeding pattern of 2 X 2 to Possum and a breeding pattern of 4 X 4 X 4 to Traveler. The full legacy of Harlans Bobbi Jo has to be written yet. She

was retired after her son Bobby Glo Harlan was born. Susan will fill us in, “He was her last foal. We tried to breed her to Streak Of Fling but couldn’t get her in foal. She is now living the good life in the Benny Scarberry Five-Star Retirement Pasture.” So now, the next step that Benny and Susan Scarberry will take is as the owner of Bobbi Glo Harlan as a sire. He brings the credentials of his being the son of an outstanding roping mare that has a pedigree built on the linebreeding to Harlan. Then he carries the blood of CSR Dual Glo the 2015 AQHA World Champion Junior Heading Horse, and the 2015 AQHA High Point Junior Heading Horse. The pedigree of CSR Dual Glo is also built on a great performance. His sire is Dual Spark, a three-time AQHA High Point Cutting Horse, and an NRCHA Greatest Horseman Reserve Champion. The sire of Dual Spark is Dual Pep, the sire of horses that have won $26 million in cutting. The dam of Dual Spark is Dolittle Lena, a daughter of the NRCHA all-time leading sire Shining Spark by Genuine Doc, and he is out of Diamonds Sparkle, the 1979 AQHA Super Horse with an AQHA World Championship in the senior heading. The dam of CSR Dual Glo was Look At Her Glo, a show mare that has multiple High Point Awards, including the 2008 AQHA All-Around High Point Award. She has four Superior Awards in heading, heeling, tie-down roping, and working cow horse. She is sired by CD O Cody by CD Olena NCHA Futurity Champion. Look At Her Glo is the dam of horses that have won 2972 AQHA points, with eight horses earning the Superior Award with 22 awards earned by these horses. The mating of CSR Dual Glo with Harlans Bobbi Jo is using the linebreeding to Harlan and outcrossing it with CSR Dual Glo giving the pedigree a good source for hybrid vigor. Susan may have summed up their story this way, “It is amazing about how it all fell into place. I think about it, and if it is meant to be, it is meant to be.” I think it was meant to be!

In the current market we are seeing an increase in buyers looking for a safe investment and an inflation hedge with the advantages of conservation, use and enjoyment during ownership. Overall, consumer expectations for inflation have continued to rise and has risen to 6.2% at the end of October. The Federal Reserve has taken a different view maintaining that current inflation trends are only transitory due to pent up demand and supply chain lags, stepping back down sometime later this year. The central bank is forecasting the long-term inflation rate to rise from previous forecasts to 3.4 percent through 2022 with interest rate hikes in 2023. Traditionally the Federal Reserve likes to see inflation around 2 percent. It looks like normal inflation is an unlikely figure for the near future.
