Justa
Dreamin -
Helen
Larsen found her dreamhorse on
dreamhorse.com. In 2010, Helen
had been looking for a stud
horse for some time and had gone
down to Fort Worth to the
Futurity sales to look at
horses. Nothing grabbed her
attention. So – she searched for
High Brow Cat on Dreamhorse…and
bingo! He showed up. She visited
with the agent and a trip to
Texas to look at the horse was
in order. Off to Weatherford and
to Darren Simpkins place she
went and the deal was on. Off to
Wyoming High Brow Tuesday went.
Helen thinks it was a big shock
to his system – she got him in
February – he left 70 degrees
and came to his new home in
Powell and a 0 degree reading on
the thermometer.
High
Brow Tuesday is a 2006 stallion
by High Brow Cat and out of the
famous dam Ruby Tuesday DNA.
Making him a full brother to
Buffalo Ranch’s Hydrive Cat.
Originally trained by Darren
Simpkins and shown by then-owner
Carol Dewrell in the Non-Pro
Futurity, High Brow Tuesday has
now amassed over $20,000 in
earnings, including the MCHA
Open/Novice Horse of the Year in
2012 and took home the title of
MCHA $3,000 Novice Horse last
year. He also won the title of
Area 4 $3,000 Novice Champion.
Tom Campbell has had great
success with this horse with
paychecks cashed in Arizona,
Canada, Washington, and Idaho.
Helen credits Tom with the
horse’s show success and this
year’s goals include the Open
and $10 Novice classes. Helen
and her internet find look
forward to a great 2013.
