A&R Performance Horses

 It's with great reluctance and sadness, I am offering for sale this very special gelding.   

 "Doc" is a 1996 AQHA gelding.  He's Docs Lynx/Jackie Bee bred on top and Doc Bar/King Fritz bred on the bottom (see Pedigree link below). 

He is a finished reiner and has won multiple circuit championships and awards in reining in the Open, NonPro, Rookie, Green Rider, and Youth Divisions (see his list of winnings below).  Anyone can ride him and he would make a great first reiner for a green, rookie, or youth rider.   For the past 3 years, he has been ridden and shown by several young girls, ages 7 through 12.  He's a big stopper and changomatic on the leads.  He's a very happy horse , good minded, and truly loves his job.

 Because he is so broke, he could go on to do many other things besides reining.  He is very athletic and willing.  He has also been shown at the local shows in Western Pleasure, Equitation, trail, and showmanship classes.

 He is great on the trail.  I usually let my less experienced friends ride him out on the trails--sometimes double with their little kids.

 He has absolutely no vices and is wonderful to be around.  He clips (ears too), ties, loads, stands for the shoer/vet, and travels really well.

 Doc's Bio 

 "Doc" is a 1996 AQHA gelding.  He's Docs Lynx/Jackie Bee bred on top and Doc Bar/King Fritz bred on the bottom.  I won his mother in a high school rodeo raffle around 1987.  She was a handful, but I learned a lot from her and when she was bred to one of Ronnie Yribarren's studs RLC Jax Tufflynx, we got Doc and my more serious reining career began.   As a 4-year old, Doc spent a year in training with Vaughn Olson, of Redlands, CA.  Vaughn did a great job with putting the reining basics on Doc.  Fortunately Doc didn't get his mother's termperament--he handled all of the stress of training in stride.

 I spent the next couple of years showing him at AQHA, CRHA, and local shows working on improving both of our skills.  We took lots of lessons and went to lots of clinics.  We never really competed for year-end awards until 2004 where we competed with the Reining Horse Association of Nevada (RHAN) and won the Rookie and Novice Horse NonPro Championships.  The following year we competed with our local reining club and won the Open and NonPro Championships. 

Later the following year,  I talked my girlfriend's 11-year old daughter "Tyler" into helping me with him since I was already starting my next reiner, "Slider".  Well a match was made.  They got a long so good, I talked her into showing him the remainder of that year and they pretty much won every class they rode in.  Tyler and Doc were amazing together.  Tyler was definitely a good rider.  She had been rodeoing pretty much since she could walk but this was her first time reining.  She worked hard to learn how to cue Doc, learn the patterns, and stay on pattern, then Doc did the rest.

 Tyler showed Doc again in 2007 for the entire year and came away with the
RHAN 12 and under youth championship and 2nd places in the Open and Novice Horse Open divisions.
