FEATURE ~ AQHA OWNER & BREEDER INCENTIVE - ARBC STOCKMANS CHALLENGE
with One Time Royalty was always going to produce a foal with the qualities I loved in a performance horse . I decided to keep Rip as a stud , and registered him as One Time Design .’
As a 2yo , Rip was broken in by Cody Huff , in Narrabri , NSW . Cody did an exceptional job with Rip and after just one ride , Rip ’ s natural balance and ability to learn , was impressive . The colt was later sent away for Cutting training with Isaac Westerhuis , with the intention to be shown in the Open Futurity and the 2023 NCHA Cutting Futurity , in Tamworth . He placed 5th in the Open Futurity Limited Final , following that up later in the year with a Reserve Champion at the Goondiwindi Cotton Country $ 15,000 Novice .
Today , Simone is excited to see the 4yo stallion ’ s great qualities coming through in his progeny . She loves that Rip tries his heart out and says that while he ’ s always a kind and calm horse , he has a motor that ’ ll give you 100 % everytime .
