2007 North Dakota AQHA 3-Year
Old Reining Futurity
Champion
Jaz
GC Dakota Joe comes
directly off the Jaz
Ranch in Joseph,
Oregon. We
specifically
selected him, as a
weanling, based on
their reputation for
a quality breeding
program. (See their
website at
www.jazranch.com)
“Dakota Joe’s”
breeding represents
the best of true
Foundation breeding.
His dam, Jaz Ms.
Mouse, is 100%
foundation and 39.6%
Poco Bueno. She is
an own daughter of
Little Steel Dust, a
grullo stallion that
was the “claim to
fame” for the Jaz
Ranch program.
Dakota Joe’s sire,
Pocos Gray Comet, is
100% NFQHA
Foundation, 25% Poco
Bueno, and triple
bred Red Dog. He is
also grullo and a
present ranch sire
for the Jaz Ranch.
Dakota Joe is the
natural result of
bloodlines that
produce
exceptionally quiet
dispositions,
rational minds, and
great athletic
ability. We took him
to an association
horse show, as a
yearling, and showed
him in lounge line.
With little
preparation, and no
experience on our
part, he placed at
the show. More
important, he was
calm, willing, and
settled into the
hubbub of the show
atmosphere without
so much as a quiver.
He walked right into
the showers, stood
next to snorting
stallions, and
remained calm
throughout the
entire weekend. This
was a perfect
example of his good
mind.
Dakota Joe is
currently competing
in reining
competitions
throughout the
region. He is the
current Reining
Champion for the
North Dakota AQHA
Futurity for
Three-Year-Olds. His
trainer really
enjoys working with
him, both because of
his athleticism and
gentlemanly
disposition.
We have his first
foal crop on the
ground now - three
grullo and one
palamino.
In all of our
experience with
horses, over 50
years, we are really
proud of this young
stallion. You’re
going to be hearing
a lot about him as
he continues to
compete. The best of
everything – that
beautiful grullo
color (with no
white) and, without
a doubt, the nicest
disposition we’ve
seen in a young
stallion!
