TR SUPER FROST aka Rosie

About

Meet “Rosie” — a standout daughter of Third River Rosa, one of our all-time best-producing mares. A highly welcomed addition to the Third River Ranch remuda, Rosie proudly carries on her dam’s legacy by producing athletic, good-minded foals that suit any rider.

With the legendary Sun Frost in her pedigree, Rosie boasts exceptional conformation and a disposition to match—traits she consistently passes down to her offspring. She truly seems to get better with every passing year, and we are always eager to see the quality she brings to each new foal crop.

The Dam’s Side: Rodeo Royalty & Perfect Minds

• Sun Frost: This legendary, handsome palomino stallion possessed the blazing speed to catch a calf and the natural “cow sense” to excel as a top cutting horse. Beyond siring world-class barrel racing champions, his greatest legacy is his exceptional mind and disposition—earning him an induction into the AQHA Hall of Fame in 2022.

• Driftwood: The great-grandsire of Sun Frost, this legendary stallion was known to ropers simply as “Speedy.” Becoming a full-time roping horse at age nine, he was a bullet out of the box. He was famous for his durability, standing up to the pressure of endless runs, long hauls, and different riders. Driftwood consistently sired fast, calm, and athletic horses with refined heads that thrived in the rodeo arena. Legendary progeny include Driftwood Ike, Poker Chip Peake, Henny Penny Peake, and Speedywood. (Source: AQHA)

The Sire’s Side: Hall of Fame Performance

• Diamonds Sparkle (2007 AQHA & 1996 NRHA Hall of Fame): An outstanding individual show horse and one of the most influential broodmares in Quarter Horse history.

• Doc Bar (1993 AQHA Hall of Fame): A legend that completely revolutionized the cutting horse industry. As Charlie Ward of the Jensen Ranch famously noted: “His colts are all uniform and possess a lot of sense. They’re easy to train, they have a lot of natural ability—every one of them is cowy.”

• Poco Bueno (1990 AQHA Hall of Fame): A sire of 405 registered foals, including 36 AQHA Champions and 3 NCHA Hall of Fame inductees. Trainer Bob Fagan once said, “To tell you the truth, Poco Bueno was the greatest horse I’ve ever been with… He was easy to handle. Gentle. And smart. Nearly all his colts were the same way.” (Source: AQHA)
