Hello,
We have a 9 yr old gelding x Royal Three Charge out of a mare x Pretty Classy Zip and we call him Zip, registered name, Shoco Red Wing. My husband Pat heads on him, and has placed in several PRCA rodeos on him when he was 7 yrs old. We bought him from Mark and Mary Salmon, Choteau, MT when he was a five year old. Last year he was a fantastic jackpot horse, not to mention he is an amazing kids' horse. We just love him and thought you might want a couple of pictures of him today. We will let you know his future accomplishments.

Thank you, Pat and Jeanine P., Missoula, MT

Hi,
Sorry it's taken me so long to get a picture of our colt by Dr. J. Summer just flew by as usual.  Roy, our gelding by Dr J, sure is nice and rides like a Cadillac--I'm really excited about his future as a barrel horse.

Take Care,

Larry & Nancy:
Thanks ever so much for the warm welcome and for taking the time  to tour Angie, Corby & I around your ranch.  It is as beautiful as the horses themselves!

The absolute highlight of my trip was to be in the same pen with "Profit Increase"; What a thrill!

Thanks again.
Take Care and we look forward to seeing you next year!

Nancy and Larry,
I first saw Docs Profit Sea x Profit Increase , aka "Zander" as a young foal galloping with his mother four years ago. It is a profile that I will never forget. His excellent balance, carriage and ease of movement which when I inspected him 'in-hand' confirmed what I had seen as a blur, a near perfectly conformed colt. There is a saying that goes, if you like them at 3 hrs, 3 days and 3 months old, then you probably will like them as a 3 year old. I bought him as a 4 month old colt and I still like him as a 4 year old.

I have broken, trained and competed over 50 horses at varying stages of progress. Several horses that I bought out of a field and resold have became renowned competitors and one went as far as the 1994 Olympics. I have been told, (but don't believe it), that I have an eye for a horse, though now I am inclined to have more faith in my own council due to Zander.

As a yearling, he went out with herd on pasture and during that winter I played with saddles and a simple bridle just letting him have fun showing off his new clothes to his buddies. In the spring as a 2 year old, we continued the fun with the saddle and bridle, adding in some round pen work and then some long lining through the fields and trails and over the streams. Around July, I climbed on him and rode around the pen in both directions for a few minutes. We did this quite a bit over the summer, never more than 10 minutes on his back but always adding a little flourish, like a change of direction at the trot and backing up. Other little games that have always seemed to be invaluable tools later on we did, like moving the hind quarter only at a soft squeeze of the leg or moving the front end with a light opposing rein. Zander was always attentive and eager to please. Any correction he took to heart and tried harder the next time. He was a great colt to work with and he just kept growing and so that autumn when the weather turned windy and wondrous, I hung up the tack and let him play and grow.

We started the next spring about the same as the previous, refreshing the lessons and then pressing on by riding out on the hills and in the ring. I also used him to pony a couple of horses I was starting. Zander had grown in height and his hind quarters also seemed to be blooming so that he commanded quite a powerful look to humans and other horses. Because his knees we not fully closed, I only began jumping him late in the summer and then it was just over 2 ft. logs and some gymnastic exercises that required little effort, yet instilled the sense of moving forward with balance at the jump. Nearly three years had passed and I still liked him, now even more as he continued to develop mentally and physically. He remained eager to please and very athletic.

This year he is 4 and ready to begin a light but vigorous competition season as an event horse. His natural balance and desire to move forward with elasticity and suppleness are traits that are difficult to instill by training alone. I believe that these are inherited characteristics that can be embellished by good training or can be dormant or destroyed by poor methods. In any case, whether he becomes an upper level success or remains at the lower levels, he will perform well and exhibit the correctness of his lineage. He would have been a splendid racehorse and if I had the knowledge in that area I might have chosen that career for him. As we begin our series of competitions I hope that each one sets a higher goal in turn and that the final result is a horse prepared to compete and win among the best company. I have no doubt that he will achieve this and I am equally pleased to have another Profit Increase yearling to start next year and a new baby due in May 2009. I am truly blessed.

We are looking forward to many small events within MT, WY, and CO and most especially to the Young Horse Event series for 4 Year Olds in CO and at Rebecca Farms in MT. This is a new division within the USEA intended as a breeding incentive for competitive sport horses. It is judged on conformation as it relates to three day eventing; performance as a dressage horse and a shortened jumping course including show and cross country jumps.

Oh I forgot to tell you, Larry brought in Hooch by Dr J and has started him......he LOVES him.......said he's one of the smartest ever! He said I made the right choice with breeding Sue to Dr. J (Royal Three Dash ) ......! I can't believe he's so surprised as much as he loves Dr. J. Hooch is really a cool horse though, so laid back, but not lazy.....I really like him.

Nancy,
Here is a update on Jolie (Zips Classy Jolie).  She has won right at $2000 at this point this year so far, several 1/2/3D Average awards and won the Average in the Open at the Cardston Futurity/Derby in their Open Barrel race. They don't have the BRN4D standings up dated for the new year yet 2008/2009 but I should be in the top 5.   I have ran her at a few Canadian Pro Rodeos this spring and she has done very well. I hope to rodeo on her this coming year as she is super solid.  Hope all is well, Jana

Hi Nancy -
Just thought I would send you a quick email and give you an update on all your "kids" that I have :o). Denali is doing awesome and will be the horse I haul most this summer. Dani's baby "Whizmo" is so wonderful to work with and even better to look at :o). But best of all is Dani. She is such a God send for Chance. Thank you so much for letting us buy her. They are the best of friends and inseparable. When we go somewhere there always has to be room for her or I don't think we would get Chance in the truck!!! She is so great with him when we go and ride outside - if there is something the other horses are scared of he just looks at us at says, "me and Froggy (I know that is the most awful name but that is what he has always called her) better go first and show you guys."
I am going to get some pictures of him riding her and I will email some to you.
I hope you are having a good summer and all is well with you guys -
Tina B.
