EXCITING NEWS.....
Cheyenne Kelly from Hallettsville, Texas has purchased the 2008 colt Nicks Dashin Flirt (pending). The fifteen year old  has been involved in barrel racing for a few years now and is greatly progressing, as she has already accomplished many goals and will continue to do so.Cheyenne bought Flirt when he was six months old and has halter broke him all herself without any assistance. I am very excited about this little team as I have raised the colt and Cheyenne  has become a special friend. NFR qualifier and futurity standout Lisa Ogden of Gail, Texas has purchased Slicky Nicky (pending). This is a 2008 filly out of Nick and an own daughter of One Slick One. I am very thrilled for Lisa to have this filly as she is the person who found the dam of this colt. I had been looking for a One Slick One broodmare who had a proven record and Lisa knew of her and secondly Lisa has been very successful with the One Slick One bloodline and we are excited to see the outcome of this cross. On the update of Dena's clinic, we have had to reschedule for a different date as Dena had to go to Australia for four clinics. I will let you know when these are scheduled. If you are attending the 2008 WNFR in Las Vegas, please visit our booth. Lindsay Sears will be there signing autographs and if you purchase a 2009 breeding your name will be placed in a drawing for five fully tooled saddles newly endorsed by Dena Kirkpatrick made by Martin Saddlery and one saddle is the new Lindsay Sears saddle by Shiloh Saddlery. We will be updating more information as it becomes available about the booth. Contact me for more information. DJ NICK BAR has gotten back in the trailer with Lindsay to assist her and Martha as they wrap up the season and prepare for the WNFR! Goodluck to them!! Hope everyone has gotten through Hurricane Ike as best they can. Take Care

NICK BABIES HITTING THE GROUND.....

The babies are hitting the ground and they are very special . Color, comformation, disposition, and Uniformity from all types of bred mares. It doesn't matter what color the mare is or how she is bred, the colts are carrying strong characteristics of Nick such as pretty heads, big shoulders, short back,  low set hocks, and lots of color and chrome. This Nicks For You: my two year old out of an own daughter of On A High is currently being broke and doing great as we are excited about his future. Congratulations to WNFR qualifier Terra Bynum on her purchase of A Waspy Nick, a yearling out of Nick and own daughter of Coup De Kas.
