Without a doubt, one of the best known early AQHA cutting horses of all time. She was Reserve NCHA Champion 5 times, in the top ten 9 times, escaped death once when she coliced under Don Dodge's ownership and had to be rushed into surgery, escaped death a second time when she was left abandonded in a trailer, and escaped death yet a third time when her last owners, upon seeing her for the first time, wanted to put her down. The Jensen's attending vets convinced them to give her a chance. After three years, the effects of the hormones she was under while showing finally subsided, and she was in foal for the first time. Sadly, she only produced two foals, but both went on to found a dynasty that still exists today.

I just bought a foal last month, her sire was Sr Smoky Dry Pep - part of the Dry Doc/Poco Lena/San Peppy heritage. I'm so proud!

It doesn't say she died in the trailer.

Wonderful video and song, and yup, I cried too even though I know her story well. I noticed Don Dodge didn't hold on to the horn while they were cutting -- wonder when riders started holding on ... anyone know? He sure had a great seat, stayed with her effortlessly. thanks for the video!

Everybody knew that the Doc o Lena and Dry doc bloodlines owed their talent to the "bottom" or mares side of the pedigree. Stallions make all the money, but the dam is hugely important. It's wonderful to see a mare honored in this way. What a story!

You know they only got two colts out of her. I am a proud owner of her great great grand daughter. I'm hoping to breed her in the futcure. OK i have to say something. The ending is wrong she did not die in a trailer, she was put to sleep because her knees were failing.

No one knows who the hauler was?

Speculation was that the driver heard about B A Skipper's plane crash, maybe over the radio, and feared not getting paid, so just walked away.

A sure enough cow horse who made her mark in the business!! Thanks for sharing the video.

Can anyone tell me anything about why they were abandoned in the trailer? Wouldn't you like to 'have a word' with whoever was hauling this horse! Not knowing all the facts, my comment would be ... The stupid son-of-bitch could of tied them outside the trailer. I'd hate to be this person when quizzed before the Pearly Gates.
