The Working Lines

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.”

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.T 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. ................................................................... Top right photo. 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

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 Horse Magazine Winter 2021“There were a dozen or more 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 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 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.

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.

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.
