We're Updated! - My sincerest apologies for not having this site updated more recently. We had some program/software
issues and finally were able to work through them. We've been trying to keep our Facebook page current, for those of you
that are following us there (Rising Water Quarter Horses). Most notably, the Prospects and Show Horses pages have been
updated to reflect the newest additions to not only our herd, but also to our trophy case! Imobviouslycreative swept the
IBHA World Show, winning the Youth, Amateur, and Open 2 Year Old Mare classes! Her full older brother, Obvious
Creation, picked up his twelfth title, winning the Aged Stallion class, and her full younger brother earned his second
Reserve World Champion title in the Yearling Stallion class. Another Phenomenal Creation daughter, Ima Phenomenal
Flirt, made her showing debut, taking the title IBHA Reserve World Champion Weanling Mare - Congratulations to her
breeder/owner Amanda Northcutt!

Buckskin World Show News! - We had a crazy couple of weeks, but have some awesome news to share! Obvious
Creation swept both shows, taking World Champion titles in the Open and Amateur classes at each show! His full brother
Chromed Out Creation is the Reserve World Champion IBHA Weanling Stallion. His full sister, Imobviouslycreative, is
the IBHA World Champion Youth 2 and Under Mare and Reserve World Champion Yearling Mare (out of a tough class
of 10)! She was shown in the Youth Mare class by our 6-year old son Connor and they did great together! Connor also
showed his Aged Mare Gossips Lucky Charm to another IBHA Reserve World Champion 3 and Over Mare title. Our new
weanling filly JMK My Phantasy is the IBHA World Champion Weanling Mare. So, we picked up 9 World and Reserve
World Champion titles between the two shows!!! It was definitely an awesome year for us! We also want to give a shout
out to Liv Markus and An Awesome Creation, a Phenomenal Creation son, on their unanimous IBHA World Champion
Youth Gelding title! You guys looked great out there!

A new stallion at RWQH! - We would like to announce the arrival of Designed By Tin Man! He is the last son of APHA
Champion Tin Man and we are very excited to be able to offer him to the public for the first time. Not only will his foals
be beautiful looking, but they'll also be beautiful movers. The Tin Man lines are well-known to produce horses that can not
only halter but also perform! This boy has a puppy-dog personality and is a gorgeous mover. We hope to get some videos
posted this fall of him. Unfortunately he was never able to show due to an injury as a foal, but we believe he'll produce
some outstanding show prospects! Welcome Hollywood!
IBHA World Show pre-entries are in! - We just mailed in our pre-entries for the IBHA World Show and boy will we be

Show. Wish us all luck!

achieved his Open Halter ROM, was the Region 2 Champion 2 Year Old Stallion and Amateur 2 and Under Stallion, and
is now qualified for the 2013 AQHA World Show in Open and Amateur Halter Stallions! He now has a total of 16.5
Open and 4 Amateur Halter points. We are so excited about what he has accomplished and look forward to working
toward finishing his Open Halter Superior next year!
Thank you to our trainers in 2012! - A huge thank you to Chris Arentsen Quarter Horses for preparing Beau for his wins
at the Buckskin World Shows and to John Kabeiseman for getting Beau to his AQHA accomplishments! We have the
utmost respect and appreciation for these awesome trainers! Thank you!

foal. We are very excited to see these first babies!

buckskin/dun horses I saw showing Pinto think about registering with the buckskin associations as well. The people
working the show as well as our fellow exhibitors were great to talk with and everyone really worked hard to make the
show a success. We hope to be able to attend next year's Congress!
9/8/2010
Dun Zygosity Tests - Since both Beau and Spike are out of 2 red dun parents, there is a chance they may be homozygous
for the dun gene. These tests were processed by UC-Davis and Beau came back as been homozygous for the Dun gene! If
he has the privilege to remain a stallion, this means that he will pass on a dun gene to every one of his foals!
9/5/2010

Awesome Creation on their first IBHA YA WP pt! We look forward to more to come!

him tested. And the results came back N/N!!! We are very excited to be able to offer this additional information to our
mare owners for their use in deciding to breed to him.
World Shows - Complete Creation added 2 more WC titles to his name! He is the IBHA World Champion Open 3 Year
Old Gelding and Amateur 3 and Over Gelding! We are so excited! Obviously Dun In Oil, after being weaned from Beau
for about a month, returned to the show ring and picked up the ABRA and IBHA WC Broodmare titles. She already had
2 ABRA RWC titles, and now she has 2 WC titles. She was always the bridesmaid, and now she's finally the bride!
Foals - We were very fortunate to have 4 healthy foals born this year. Three are red duns and one is a chestnut, all by
Phenomenal Creation. Beau is out of 2X RWC Obviously Dun In Oil and Spike is out of Halter ROM mare FVF Cool
Brezy Layne. Both of these boys may also be homozygous for the dun gene. Star is out of Completely Smokin and is a full
sister to 3X IBHA WC Complete Creation. We have high show expectations for these 3 babies! DD was not born until
May, but she is gorgeous! She is out of Rocas Wild Babe and is a full sister to Futurity Champion Western Creation.
