HORSE FEATURE ~ LADY IN RED Q-19674
' Lady In Red ’ Q-19674 - 1999 ridden by Warren Lowrey
Futurity , plus more Cutting Futurities . Unfortunately , through no fault of their own , the fillies did not get the chance to be shown , which did disappoint Vince .
But Lady proved her abilities in Campdrafting when Warren Lowrey competed on her , but no points were recorded with the AQHA . However , Lady won and placed in many Campdraft events from big numbers . Lady was ridden by Michael Rapley , from 1991 to 1995 , and those points were AQHA recorded . Eventually , Lady went home to begin her biggest contribution to Delta Quarter Horse Stud , and to the Quarter Horse breed in Australia . Over the years , she was paired with standout stallions , carefully chosen by Vince . Lady proved herself , producing 20 foals , many of whom grew to be very competitive Cutting and Campdraft horses , and some were great producers themselves .
