newly available test<\/a> to determine if a horse is a carrier of the genetic disease HERDA.<\/p>\nThe Husbys purchased Hydrive Cat at five days of age from Esperanza Ranch, which bred the colt and his Color Me Smart-sired half-brother, Ruby Tuesday’s Color, a 2003 foal also out of Ruby Tuesday DNA. \u201cI heard they were selling the babies and I had my choice,\u201d said Georgia Husby, 2001 NCHA Futurity Amateur reserve champion on CD Royalty. \u201cWe owe a lot of credit to Winston Hansma and Rodie Whitman because they went over to Colleen Holt\u2019s (broodmare operation) and chose this one for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cI also can\u2019t imagine a better person to have trained this horse than Clint Allen,\u201d Husby added. \u201cHe\u2019s done an amazing job. They\u2019re a great team and Clint loves the horse as much as we do.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to his NCHA Futurity title, Hydrive Cat was reserve champion of the Memphis Futurity, as a well as third-placed in the Abilene Spectacular and a finalist in the Bonanza Cutting and the Cotton Stakes. Ruby Tuesdays Color, ridden by Matt Budge for Jackpot Ranch and the earner of $70,000, was also an NCHA Open Futurity finalist, as well as an Open finalist at the Memphis Futurity and the South Point Futurity.<\/p>\n
Buffalo Ranch also owns Hydrive Cat’s 4-year-old full brother SDP Buffalo Bill, earner of $25,500 and ridden by Greg Smith as a finalist in four limited age events.<\/p>\n
Ruby Tuesday DNA, the earner of $218,916, is out of the all-time leading producer Playboys Ruby, with offspring earnings of more than $1.5 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
