TR Third River Ranch aka “CAPTAIN”

Details

Saving the best for last! 🌟 Our second-to-last foal of the season is here, and his dam truly outdid herself with this exceptional colt.

With a pedigree boasting Sugar Bars and Colonel Freckles on the dam’s side, he’s got the perfect blend of brains, athleticism, and great conformation. Coupled with the willing attitude and stellar disposition of his sire, Fancy Cut Diamonds, this boy is the total package. The future is incredibly bright for this colt!

Pedigree Highlights:

Maternal Line (Dam’s Side):

• Colonel Freckles: The grandsire of this mare and a legendary AQHA Hall of Fame inductee. Renowned for his athletic prowess, intelligence, and incredible “cow sense,” his offspring have earned millions across NCHA, NRHA, and NRCHA events. He was sired by the foundational cutting horse legend, Jewel’s Leo Bars (“Freckles”).

• Sugar Bars: “Ms Freckles” also carries the bloodline of Sugar Bars—a personal favorite lineage of Tex’s—known for producing elite speed event racehorses and top-tier performance horses.

Paternal Line (Sire’s Side):

• Diamonds Sparkle: An exceptional show horse and legendary AQHA broodmare, inducted into the NRHA Hall of Fame in 1996 and the AQHA Hall of Fame in 2007.

• Doc Bar: A 1993 AQHA Hall of Fame inductee who revolutionized the cutting horse industry. As Charlie Ward of the Jensen Ranch 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: A 1990 AQHA Hall of Fame legend who sired 405 registered foals, including 36 AQHA Champions and 3 NCHA Hall of Fame inductees. Trainer Bob Fagan famously stated, “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.”
