McGrath Quarter Horses
purchases HUS stallion BR I Am
McGrath Quarter Horses is pleased to announce the
purchase of BR I Am, a 2003 brown stallion by
Duplicated Deck and out of Georgia Rabling (TB) from
Rosenfeldt Quarter Horses.
BR I Am finished in the Top 10 in the Congress
3-year-old Hunter Under Saddle Futurity and in the
Top 5 in the limited Futurity. He is the earner of
23 points in Hunter Under Saddle. BR I Am is a full
brother to Congress Champion These Irons Are Hot,
and also Congress Top 3 (as a 2 and a 3) and World
Show Junior Hunter Under Saddle Top 5 finisher A
Beautiful Ride. Another full sibling, BR Tiger Talk,
was Reserve Congress Champion in Youth Hunt Seat
12-14.
BR I Am (HYPP N/N) will stand in 2010 at Nancy Sue
Ryan's Show Stop Farm in Nocona, Texas and his stud
fee will be $750, including the first collection
(mare owner pays actual cost of Fed Ex).
"BR I Am comes from a great family of horses. The
cross of Duplicated Deck and Georgia Rabling (TB)
has been exceptional," said Kevin McGrath of McGrath
Quarter Horses. "I have had a foal by These
Irons
Are Hot, have one of my good Luke At Me daughters is
in foal to BR I Am for 2010, and have mares in foal
to A Beautiful Ride (including Congress 2 year old
HUS Champion producing Zips Classy Act) for 2010
too. I think BR I Am will compliment Million Dollar
Luke as a quality choice for hunter under saddle
breeders. This makes sense for our program as BR I
Am will have an opportunity to breed my Luke At Me
mares, Nancy Sue's Luke daughters along with
daughters of Fabuluke, Million Dollar Luke and other
exceptional broodmares."
Discussions about the acquisition of BR I Am started
some time ago, but after the recent and tragic loss
of Duplicated Deck last week, it was unclear whether
Bill Rosenfeldt would want to sell I Am. "We are so
pleased that Kevin and Nancy Sue recognize the
future prospects in this young sire. We feel that "I
Am's" interest will go so well with the promotion
and mare quality that can be generated through their
breeding program. We will continue to breed to and
promote "I Am's" offspring," said Rosenfeldt, who
will continue to stand Its All About Blue and cross
Blue on daughters of Duplicated Deck.
Paige Quarterman, who showed I Am and has been
involved with his development since the beginning,
said: "Just a few of the I Am's we are excited about
are 'Designed I Am' out of My Designer Coat (full
sister to Hunt Coats Required, Congress Champion,
High Point NSBA 2yr old HUS), 'Because I Am' out of
Tilt N Full (multiple superior producer and World
qualifying producer) and "Here I Am" out of Natural
XTC (Congress Top Ten HUS Fut and multiple futurity
winner). From being around his colts, as well as
reports from other owners, besides other obvious
pluses ... these babies are in your pocket and are
just easy, easy, easy to do anything with from the
beginning."
Million Dollar Luke and AQHA Champion Good Huh will
continue to stand at Bennie Sargent Quarter Horses
in Kentucky (
