X-Factor
Cash is 9 years old and is an own son of the #1 Barrel Horse Sire in the country, Dash for Perks
x Fast Freedom (SI 76 and 1D Barrel Mare) x Freedom Flyer.
Cash has proven himself to be a tough 1D barrel and rodeo horse in just a very short period of time. He has already won over $2500 in his first 30 shows. He stands just over 15.2
hands tall. His dam ran on the track for a short time with a SI of 76
(A) and then was turned into a 1D Barrel horse. She is also an own
daughter of
Freedom Flyer (SI 100) who is a Son of Easy Jet (LTE of $445,000, SI
100) He has the biggest heart and LOVES his job! He is a
natural athlete with natural rate at the barrels but very free running between. He is the legendary Dash For Cash
and Rocket Wrangler breeding, he is also double bred Easy Jet, double bred Jet Deck and goes back to Three Bars four times. This is my once in a lifetime horse. Dash For Perks was the #1 Barrel Sire in the Nation at one point and is currently the
:
> Decades #3 Living Sire of Money Earners in Excess of $1,001,404
> Decades #2 Sire of $50,000+ Barrel Earners
> Sire of All Purpose Earnings in Excess of $3 Million

We also believe Dash For Perks carries the
Large Heart Gene (The X-Factor) who he can pass on to his daughters.
Fast Freedom is an own daughter of Freedom Flyer (SI 100 Own son of Easy Jet) and she ran on the track for a short while. She had a SI of 76 (A) and was later turned into a barrel horse. That was definitely her calling - she turned out to be a 1D Barrel Mare and Rodeo horse in Missouri - Owned and Trained by Dana Wood, where she currently resides. We are also pretty positive that Fast Freedom definitely carries the
Large Heart Gene (The X-Factor) - may even be a double copy.
Freedom Flyer is by the legendary Easy Jet. Freedom Flyer himself had a SI of 100 and we believe he too carries the
Large Heart Gene (The X-Factor) who he passed on indefinitely to Fast Freedom.

Took
Cash to the Big J Barrel Blast in Waterloo, Iowa and had a very good
weekend. Saturday we had a great run going and my rein flipped over his
head at the 2nd barrel and we ran the rest of the pattern with both
reins on one side! He did great! We were sitting 3rd in the 2D until
the last 5 riders when Mesa Leavitt bumped up the fast time and then we
were knocked down to just out of the 2D Money -- but I was very happy
with his run! :)




Sunday he had ground
trouble leaving third and still clocked 2 tenths faster. He ended up
running the 16th fastest of the day and was just out of the 2D money
again!


June 25 - 27
Cash cut his shoulder open and had to have stitches - he hadnt been rode but FOUR Times since BBR finals end of April before the Kirkwood barrel bash. He was fat and out of shape and I ended up taking him to the vet after the race to find out he was sore in his hocks also! But he ran super well and tried really hard.

Friday he ran a 15.008 (a personal best for us) but I barely pulled down the 3rd barrel. It would have been TOP of the 2D - a 14.4 won it. We clocked the 35th fastest of the barrel bash - pretty happy with that being fat and out of shape! :)

Saturday was the Future Fortunes side pot. All I cared about was being clean! We ended up running a 15.110 and was mid 2D. Still was in the top 50 out of 300+ barrel racers and it was a TOUGH barrel bash. We ended up 2nd in the 2D for Future Fortunes and made $467.50.

July
Oh the madness of 4th of July Rodeos!!! Started out at Bloomfield, Iowa IRCA Rodeo - Ran .5 tenths off out of over 85 girls with a bad first barrel and running slack at 1AM!
Then went on to the Leon, Iowa IRCA Rodeo. "The Biggest Rodeo In Iowa"
With over 120 girls! And Of Course we were in the Performance! He
handled it GREAT!

June
We entered the Trekfest Rodeo in Riverside, Iowa and ended up Winning the Rodeo Performance and ended up 2nd overall! It was a nice $234 check for his 15th competition run :)
Hauled to Adel, Iowa the IRCA Rodeo. It was our first rodeo and the interstate flooded and we got there VERY late and didnt get to ride in the pen before hand - the bucking chutes are right behind the first barrel so I was worried he'd spook so I just cruised to the first. He ended up running .5 tenths off all the pro girls!! He was JUST out of the money!! 14th Run ever!
Went to the District 5 NBHA Show in Bloomfield for his 12th show and he won 5th in the 1D!!!!
May
Went to the NBHA District 3 & 5 Show at Dahlens in Iowa City, Iowa for his 8th show. He loped top of the 3D with 105+ Entries.
Took him to his 4th show of his life just for exposure. It was the NBHA District 2, 3 and 5 combined show - there were 175+ Entries and he loped through and clocked in the 2D!!!!
April
Took Cash to the small clinic at Lazy L that Teresa Baumgardener and Tracy Milota put on - it was a fundraiser for our club so figured hey why not! Cash did great. Was his first time seeing the barrels since that previous November when he was loping the pattern.
2008A Couple Remix Videos Up Thru this point :)
Took him to the Ed Wright Clinic at the end of July - Ed loved Cash - thought he had a ton of potential and really liked the way I rode. We found out he was sore in his stifles and thats why I was having problems getting him to finish 2nd and 3rd without being so hoppy around the barrels.

Started working him trying to get him ready for the Ed Wright clinic
2007
I had just graduated high school and didnt get to haul as much. I
qualified for the NBHA Youth World Finals in Jackson, Mississippi so I
had to save my money for that. :) Spent the year getting him broke and riding around real nicely.
The first barrel work on the video is of me trying him out in 2006
2006
Leah had Cash advertised on Dream Horse and I found him
in June 2006 and called about going to see him. When we got there Leah
told us he hadn't been rode since July 2005 - that wasn't what we were
expecting but we had already drove 6 hours south to go see him. I fell
in love with him. He was a jerk though - wouldn't pick up his feet for
me to pick them out, tried bucking me off the whole time, wouldn't take
his right lead and was just grumpy.

Spent the weekend at their barn just getting to know him and bond a little bit :)

We stayed there for 3 days and went and watched the PRCA
rodeo and stayed in a nice little hotel in California, Missouri. The
last day to the local rodeo grounds in Versailles to
see how he was on the pattern. Well.... the bucking continued and he
couldnt hardly lope circles, let alone the pattern. He was really front
endy - even at a trot, Id get to the barrel and he'd come to a stop and
sling his butt. Boy was he going to be a lot of work!!
And we brought him home :)
2005He was gelded his four year old year because Dana got pregnant and
her father didn't want the danger of having a stallion around. He was
turned out to pasture and Dana eventually sold him to her sister Leah.2004
Dana sent Cash to a neighbor gal, Charlotte to break at age three and
start getting the basics down with him. Here is a video of him at age
3. He was hauled to 3 shows.
