Flarida is NRHA’s First Four Million Dollar Rider

Shawn Flarida on historian ensimmäinen neljän miljoonan dollarin ratsastaja

1468 Lexie and Shawn 72Vain kaksi vuotta sitten Shawn Flaridasta tuli ensimmäinen kolmen miljoonan dollarin ratsastaja. Tämä tapahtui vuoden 2008 Futuriteissa. Historia toisti itseään kun vuoden 2010 Futuriteissa Flaridasta tuli ensimmäinen neljän miljoonan dollarin ratsastaja. Kun Flarida sijoittui Futuritien finaalissa Quistadorilla  (omistaja Augustine and Gaynia Revenberg) ja Shine Chic Shinella (omistaja Amabile & Strusiner) sekä oli jaettu kolmas $100,000 added NRHA World Championship Shootoutissa Wimpys Little Chicillä (omistaja Arcese Quarter Horses USA), Flaridan kokonaisansiot NRHA luokissa nousivat 4,023,885 dollariin.

Just two short years ago, Shawn Flarida became the National Reining Horse Association’s first Three Million Dollar Rider with earnings accumulated at the 2008 NRHA Futurity. History repeated itself when the gates closed on the 2010 NRHA Futurity and the results were announced. With rides in the finals aboard Quistador (owned by Augustine and Gaynia Revenberg) and Shine Chic Shine (owned by Amabile & Strusiner), plus a tie for third in the $100,000 added NRHA World Championship Shootout on Wimpys Little Chic (owned by Arcese Quarter Horses USA), Flarida scooped up more than $100,000 to become NRHA’s first Four Million Dollar Rider. Flarida’s official NRHA earnings are $4,023,885.
Flarida, of Springfield, Ohio, became the second rider in history to break the $2 million mark in 2006 at the FEI World Reining Masters in Denver, Colorado. Bill Horn was the first rider to earn in excess of $1 million. Tim McQuay, Craig Schmersal and Andrea Fappani are the only other riders to cross the $2 million earnings level. Only thirteen other riders have crossed the $1 million earnings plateau in addition to Flarida.
Flarida has been showing at NRHA-approved events since 1981 competing at nearly every major Reining event in the world. Flarida has won the NRHA Level 4 Open Futurity five times, and has nine All American Quarter Horse Congress Open Futurity championship titles. In 2002 and in 2010, he earned a team Gold Medal at the FEI World Equestrian Games. In 2002, he also claimed the individual Gold.

Rooster (Gallo Del Cielo) is an NRHA Three Million Dollar Sire

Rooster eli Gallo Del Cielo on nyt NRHA:n kolmen miljoonan dollarin Sire

 

Vain neljä oria on saavuttanut NRHA:n kolmen miljoonan dollarin Sire -rajan. Nyt Gallo Del Cielo, eli “Rooster" on liittynyt tähän arvokkaaseen joukkoon. Muut kolmen miljoon kerhon jäsenet ovat Hollywood Dun It, Topsail Whiz, Smart Chic Olena and Shining Spark. Roosterin jälkeläisten kokonaisansiot NRHA luokissa ovat nyt $3,041,295.




Only four stallions in history are distinguished as being an NRHA Three Million Dollar Sire. NRHA is pleased to welcome Gallo Del Cielo, a.k.a. “Rooster,” to this acclaimed list of that includes Hollywood Dun It, Topsail Whiz, Smart Chic Olena and Shining Spark as Rooster’s offspring earnings now total $3,041,295. Congratulations go to his owner, the Joseph & Karalyn Revocable Trust.

Outstanding achievers by Gallo Del Cielo include Roosters Wrangler (owned by Mosing & Solum Stables LLC), the 1999 NRHA Level 4 Open Futurity Reserve Champion with $125,653 in NRHA LTE to his credit and Ricochet Rooster (owned by Manuel Bonzano), the 2000 NRHA Level 4 Open Futurity Reserve Champion with $148,708 in NRHA LTE. Lapke Quarter Horses’ Lena Gallo had only three shows under his belt when Rooster crossed the million dollar mark. The ten-year-old stallion out of Heavenly Doc is now the sire’s highest earning offspring with $176,058 in NRHA LTE.

The 1989 bay stallion comes from a royal pedigree – he is by AQHA and NCHA Hall of Famer Peppy San and is out of NCHA Hall of Famer Docs Starlight by Doc Bar. The cross has proven to generate other stellar producers like Million Dollar Sire Grays Starlight and Paddys Irish Whiskey.
