JUSTA DREAMIN

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.
