KS's Dash For Pants
KS's Dash For Pants stood 55 1/4 inches tall, and was a liver chestnut with a flaxen mane and tail, a blanket to his withers with spots, feather marks, and a star.
Dash was born in 1990, and was shown to his first big win in the Green County (now Tulsa State Fair) POA Weanling Colt class at just 5 months of age. He continued to show in halter as a yearling, and earned his ROM(H) before being started under saddle as a two year old and shown in the 19 & Over Junior Pony Futurity Classic classes by Todd Corn of Indiana. Together Todd and Dash placed in the Top 5 at both the International and Futurities in JPFC 2 year old events in 1992, and at the `93 Futurities repeated Top 5's in the 3 & 4 year old classes. Both years Dash ended the year in the Top 5 in the Nation in halter, and added a #3 in the Nation finish in JPFC as a 3 year old. Due to his sire's death in 1993, Dash returned home to stand at stud in 1994. Dash was never shown by a youth due to lack of a rider, so he did not have a chance to earn the prestigious Supreme Championship like his sire, grandsire, and great-grandsire. However, Dash was a top performance pony, and Todd still says Dash was his favorite ride. Beginning his career as a sire, Dash produced some teriffic all around ponies. He was also proven as a color sire, producing colored foals even from AQHA mares, and earning his Proven Producer award in 1999. Dash has sired KS's Dashing Illusion, a World Champion in Halter and performance, Western Classic Grand Champion, Supreme Champion and 2013 cover girl for Horse & Rider magazine, KS's Dash Of Elegance, ROM(H), KS's Cool Blue Dash, ROM(H), Eastern Classic Grand Champion, and the #1 2 year old colt in the nation for 2006, KS's Isn't He Dashing, 2005 top 5's at the International and Futurities, KS's Sonny Dee Dash, top 10 in JPFC 3&4 year old western pleasure futurity every year shown as well as International halter champion, KS's Dash Of Pizazz, International and Futurity Top 10's in halter and performance, KS's Dashing For Rubies, 2008 and 2009 International Top 10's in halter and performance 2009 Futurity halter Champion and performance Top 10, KS's Dashing Rialto, aka 'Frosty the roping pony' with over $10,000 earnings as a heel horse, and KS's Double Dee Dash, a champion Dressage pony. Last but not least, his best known son, KS's Dashs Double OSeven, who was in our own show string for 3 years, being named Southeast Regional Grand Champion Stallion, International Champion in 3 year old stallions, International Top 5 in performance, and earning his ROM in halter before being exported to Australia. After starting his show career anew down under, at the 2009 National Palouse Pony show, he was named Australian Palouse Supreme Champion at halter, and high point junior pony under saddle. In 15 years as a sire, Dash sired many winners in the show ring, but many more ponies who stole the hearts of their owners weather they were show ponies or not. All told, Dash sired over 60 foals, and only 3 were solid colored. We lost our great stallion and much loved family friend July 16, 2009, but he will remain forever in our hearts."
