Passing of a Legend

A legend has passed. Cuttings leading lady, Royal Blue Boon passed away last week at her long time home in Weatherford, TX. RBB earned a respectful $224,685 in the cuttingpen and the 31 year old mare (Boon Bar x Royal Tincie x Royal King) had 17 earners that amassed $2,614,201!!! Among her get are: Red White And Boon, Peptoboonsmal, Autumn Boon, Mecom Blue, Duals Blue Boon, Bet Yer Blue Boons, Peek A Boon.

I absolutely love the Royal Blue Boon bloodline and both Cat and Polly carry it on top. Kick The Cat is by Wild Thing DNA (Smart Little Lena-Autumn Boon-Royal Blue Boon) La Flor del Viento or "Polly" is by double RBB bred stud Peeka Pep (Peptoboonsmal-Peek A Boon, both out of Royal Blue Boon!)

Another one of my heroes, Richard Caldwell, tried his luck at the NRCHA Futurity in Reno last month. Allthough the sledding was tough for him and his colt Sumkinda Rey (Dual Rey-Sumkinda Pinkcadilac) he was a winner just by participating in the open, health issues and a green colt aside. In his stocksaddle, 70 foot reata tied on, and wearing his Vaquero heritage proudly.

We're working the fillies as much as possible, me and Cat on the heiffers and Annelie & Ritzy driving. Both horses getting better and better. Cat is showing some attitude and expression and handling them better and better. Surprisingly, so far she's shown alot of wait too. She's a busy gal otherwise, fretting and pawing, dancing and prancing, but pretty cool on a cow so far.
