AQHA TELEVISION HIGHLIGHTS A TOP NRHA SIRE ON RFD-TV
America’s Horse, April 15, 2008 – Join the American Quarter Horse Association on April 16 and 19 as its weekly series “AQHA Presents” takes a look back at some of today’s most well-known American Quarter Horse sires during their show days. “AQHA Presents,” airing on RFD-TV, will highlight some of the accomplishments of noted National Reining Horse Association sire Hollywood Dun It who not only made his mark in the show arena but left a lasting impression on the equine industry and the American Quarter Horse breed through his dominance in the breeding barn.
Hollywood Dun It, became the youngest National Reining Horse Association sire at the time to reach the million-dollar mark (in 1997), going on to hit the five-million dollar mark in 2007, becoming NRHA’s all-time leading sire. The show features the 1983 dun stallion’s 1986 NRHA Futurity Reserve Champion run with Tim McQuay aboard who shortly thereafter became one of his owners.
Sired by Hollywood Jac 86 and out of Blossom Berry by Dun Berry, Hollywood Dun It was bred by Gwen Steif of Illinois and owned by Steif during his Futurity run. Hollywood Dun It earned more than $65,000 in NRHA competition during his show career. The stallion was owned by Tim and Colleen McQuay of Texas and Jennifer Easton of Minnesota. Hollywood Dun It died in 2005.
“AQHA Presents” also will look at the performances and successful careers of 1987 National Cutting Horse Association Derby Champion Miss N Cash and the 1987 National Reined Cow Horse Association Futurity Champion Nu Cash.
