Dry N Freckles
"The Open Hackamore Reserve Championship went to Dry N
Freckles, owned by Jay Wright and ridden by Mike Zebarth,
and this duo also claimed the Limited Open Hackamore
Championship. This smart buckskin stallion, by Docs Dry Jess,
has utmost respect from his trainer Mike Zebarth, of Kimberly,
Idaho. Although Zebarth has only had him since last January,
the pair hit it off and they shared a lot of miles together
campaigning for this year's win.
Zebarth credits owner Jay Wright, of Jerome, Idaho, with
giving him the green light to take his horse where they needed
to go to wrap up the year-end win. He also is quick to credit
all his help at home, and thanked God for the opportunity. In
feelings echoed by many, but well spoken by Zebarth, he
added "I would always like to do this again, but realize it could
be a once in a lifetime deal. I feel lucky just to have gone".
Zebarth began training reined cow horses in 1993; however he
called it off for several years while his daughter was involved
with high school rodeos. He just started up again a couple of
years ago. Although reluctant to talk about his own
achievements, Zebarth's enthusiasm was less restrained when
it came to talking about Dry N Freckles. "He’s an awesome
little horse" he said. "He's the most athletic horse I've ever
been on, the most horse I've ever had. It's hard to explain, but I
have sure learned a lot from him." He added that the cattle
can't out run him and they can't out-turn him, and he loves to
go down the fence.
The handsome buckskin stallion has a few babies out already,
notably one 3-year-old filly which Corey Shelman is slated to
take to futurities this year. Dry N Freckles will stand to a
limited number of mares, and then return to the show pen later
this year in the bridle classes." 2002 NRCHA year end awards.
It is hard to put into words what kind of horse Dry N
Freckles was. Absolutely talented comes to mind the most.
He is one of Idaho's best kept secrets! The stunning
buckskin stallion earned more than $14,643 in his long
show career. Dry N Freckles never took a lame step and
retired sound at age 15. He was one of the best fence
horses I have ever seen. His colts brake out like a dream.
They are smooth movers, very light in the face and
extremely physical athletes. You won't find many stallions
who consistently out produce themselves quite like he did
and we only have a few of his foals left.
