Roo is a 2004 mare by Rooster (Gallo Del Cielo). She is out of Doks Freckle Bar by Colonel Freckles. Doks Freckle Bar is out of a daughter of Doc Bar!
We first saw Roo at the 2005 NRHA Futurity where she was on the sale. Ron fell in love. We could not get to the sale since Ron was scribing and judging. She no saled. The next year Ron was riding at the Sliding K working with Kim and Kinsey on Whiskey. Who shows up for two year old training? Was it meant to be? After leaving her with Kim and Kinzey for a little more training Roo headed for Nebraska.
Roo's debut show was at the 2007 Sandhills Slide Futurity where she tied for second in the Limited Non Pro division. Unfortunately, shortly after that Roo contracted Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM). EPM is often called coon disease since it is spread by Racoon droppings in hay. She has not been shown since.
Roo is near full recovery and will hopefully be back in the show pen soon.
