FAMOUS LAST CALL

I had the pleasure of spending a couple months on barrel racing training with this six year old stallion recently. “Flit” is an intelligent fellow who tries hard to do whatever you ask. He is a well balanced, yet stocky fellow with some size who turns heads wherever he goes. Flit has a great and fun personality. For a stallion, he sure has a good attitude and can control himself well. Flit is happy to have a job and his training progressed quickly during our time together, despite not being ridden for 2.5 years and having an old hock injury. I expect to see his babies do well in the future.

“ I was fortunate enough to have spent time with Famous Last Call recently and he did not disappoint! You can’t have a race car without taking it for a spin!! So I did and wowzers this horse is FAST!! His laid back demeanour and lightning speed is a great combination to have in your barrel horse prospect! I would have liked to compete on Flit but an old injury makes it too risky so I’ll arrange for one of his offspring!"

March 26, 2018 - Unfortunately last week’s Big News regarding FIREWATER FINALE turned tragic.

After having him home for only 2 nights, we found him with a broken shoulder in his box stall on Saturday morning.

After a thorough exam by Dr Lockhart of Moore Equine, it was determined there was no hope to save him. An autopsy was done on the site, confirming that we had made the right call revealing a severely displaced fracture of the humerus and no obvious muscle bruising. We feel he must have just turned wrong in his stall – no other explainable reason.

We are saddened to have lost such an outstanding stallion and to have missed the opportunity to love him too.

Our condolences go to 4 Tress Farms whom we recently purchased FIREWATER FINALE from, and to Brett Borkowski and Amy Schimke who owned him since he was 2 years old until last fall. Amy rode him to his championships and would have had a personal connection to him that we will never know. Our hearts break for you.

We are excited to announce that we have joined the newly formed, Western Fortunes Inc by nominating four Sandy Ridge stallions: A CLASSIC GUY, HEZGOTTABFAMOUS, PLAIN SPECIAL and ROOT BEERS BOOTS!!!

Western Fortunes is a very well thought out program, with not only additional incentives to the stallion owner & competitors but the mare owner as well!

Western Fortunes will be involved in many of the Western Canada barrel racing activities, such as futurities, derbies, and ABRA. Western Fortunes has been formatted after the renowned Future Fortunes but designed for Canada. The deadline for offspring born in 2016 or older is November 30, 2017. The added money will be effective in 2018. More info: www.westernfortunes.com

This makes 3 barrel incentives that these stallions are nominated to: Western Fortunes, CBHI and our own Sandy Ridge Barrel Incentive.

Our thoughts are with Barb Lappin over the loss of Chics Fast Moon.

It is with extreme sadness, that we note the loss of Chics Fast Moon, owned by Barb Lappin.

To honor this outstanding gelding, we invite you to the "Moon Memorial Barrel Race" Saturday, March 25 at the Taber Agriplex.

Unfortunately, Moon lost his life in a tragic accident Sunday, Feb 12. He has been buried just a few feet from his sire FAST MOON CHIC. We are all feeling remorse over this terrible tragedy.

Please come in support of Barb Lynn Murphy / Lappin and her family.
