The Story
Anaheim to Guthrie

Born of two great bloodlines.

Foaled in Anaheim, California in 1994 — a son of Holland Ease out of the AQHA Hall of Fame mare Corona Chick. First Down Dash made him fast. Corona Chick made him forever.

The yearling sold for $42,000 at the 1995 Vessels-Schvaneveldt sale, headed for Tucson. By 1996 he had won the Los Alamitos Million Futurity — the first Quarter Horse stallion to win a $1M race in California — and the breed was changed.

The Pedigree
Two Hall of Fame influences in close blood

A pedigree built on champions.

First Down Dash and Easy Jet on top. The brilliant Chicks Beduino and Sizzle Te below. Two Hall of Fame influences crossed in close blood — speed and refinement crossed with grit.

It is the kind of pedigree that doesn't come around twice. A line built deliberately, generation by generation, to produce a horse exactly like this one.
