QHRAI February Newsletter
As busy of a year that 2011 was, January 2012 started out with a bang!!
We started this year out like we have many years in the past with the
Stallion Service Auction Banquet on January 7th. Once again, the amphitheater at the Crowne Plaza Hotel was filled to capacity during the
Stallion Service Auction where Auctioneers Ted Begley and Greg Bonfer, along with Mr. Pedigree, Tom Mosley, sold 59 horses for nearly
$52,000. The buyers were there and the horses sold!! Horses that didn’t
sell on the 7th will be available for purchase until July 1st, but Don
DeHart bought his on the 7th and won $1,000 in the big drawing (had
to be there)!! The banquet hall was filled to capacity as VIP’s from
Hoosier Park, Indiana Downs, The Indiana Horse Racing Commission
and AQHA were part of the mix. Johnne Dobbs from AQHA, who
has many ties to the Indiana Quarter Horse Racing Industry of yesteryear, addressed the crowd. We were honored to have her join us
this year. Johnne will be AQHA President in 2013. Carter Riley and
Calvin Prescott were inducted into the QHRAI Hall of Fame, as were
the spectacular horses Jaguar Rocket and Miss Roxie Little. The 2011
Champion horses were awarded with brass and glass, but the winner
of the biggest surprise and the QHRAI Presidents Award was Margaret
Thompson for all the great things she contributed to QHRAI last year!!
I heard the food was good and the band was great and the event went
off without a hitch. The silent auction proceeds are going to our friend
Richie Gilliard. Thank you to all of my Quarter Horse Friends who
helped make the banquet a huge success and thank you to everyone
who attended to make this our biggest event of the year.
Indiana’s 2011 Horse of the Year, Lovemelikethat, and Bitter Sweet
Song were both nominated for AQHA 3 Year Old Filly Champion. Did
you hear me? Our Indiana breds, homegrown right here from Hoosierville, were recognized by AQHA as top 3 year old fillies in the country.
They were two of the six nominees. Congratulations to both horses
and their connections for these top honors. Spit Curl Diva, who made
her 2011 debut at Indiana Downs, earned Champion aged mare honors.
Indiana has broken into the BIGTIME and will only keep going!! How
many of you plan to have a champion nominee next year?

to see, but please contact your local legislators now to let them know

Ask them to please support our industry and not support any cuts to our

I just got info from Angela Demaree from the IHRC that Purdue is now
offering Piroplasmosis testing, which is still required for horses entering the tracks this year. The costs at Purdue are supposed to be much
less than the $75 and up costs we all paid last year. Ask your vet for
details!!
-----------------------Equine Piroplasmosis Testing Offered ---------------------The Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory is approved to perform equine piroplasmosis analyses for inter- and intrastate movement
and will offer testing for Equine Piroplasmosis beginning January 1,

This is just a sample of the “Horse Power” that made its way from Heritage Place to Indiana pastures a couple of weeks ago. Now put these numbers together with the $100,000 that was purchased at the fall mixed sale at Heritage Place and the $200,000 that sold at QHRAI’s Speed Sale and
we have over $500,000 that has been spent on Racing Quarter Horses since the end of the meet at Hoosier Park in October.
It’s obvious that there are plenty of Hoosiers ready to pay good money for quality horses with superior pedigrees.
Breeders…. You have to ask yourself, are you keeping up? Over 4 million dollars was paid out in purse money in 2011, well over 50% to Indiana
Owners and Breeders. How much did you reinvest?
