Backseat Dryver – $50,000
2017 AQHA sorrel gelding
(Hydrive Cat x ARC Little Rubylena by Smart Little Lena)
Dryver is easy to handle and suitable for riders of different skill levels. Perfect horse to go from boxing to down the fence. Just get him out of the pasture, stick him in the trailer and go show.
LTE $30,000
He was the 2024 NRCHA Limited Open Bridle National Champion AND he was ALSO the high point horse in all three affiliates we showed in. This year in the Celebration of Champions he had the highest fence score in the finals. He does like apples.
