RODANN ROANIES CHEX

DOB: 26/10/1995
Reg: AQHA: Q-37235  ASH: 158814
Sire: Docs Spinifex  Dam: Clover Foxy Lady

THE BEST CAMPDRAFT MARE IN HISTORY, bred and owned by Rod & Anne Carpenter.

Rod and Anne had entrusted Pete with their beautiful and talented horses since 1983.  Pete has ridden many great horses but the stand out as far as longevity, and remaining at ‘A’ grade for 14 years is a feat very few horses can and could ever claim.

Roanies career spanned from 2000-2014 with Pete.

SHE WON 221 RIBBONS, WINNING 62 DRAFTS (2 OF THEM JUVENILE COMPETITIONS).

ROANIES WON 4 HORSE TITLES AND ASSISTED PETE TO 20 OPEN RIDER TITLES.

Roanies will forever be a favourite of Pete’s as she was renowned for both her toughness and her sensitivity….”she never argued”.  Obviously she was of perfect type and temperament to withstand 14 years of intense competition and travel.

Roanies greatness began with her breeding, she is by spinifex who has left his mark on the cow horse industry, and out of clover foxy lady who was a solid broodmare with many great performers, including the ones Pete had much success with.  These were such as DOCS CHEXA (also listed on this page), FRECKLES CHEX, PEPPY CHEX, BATTLERS CHEX, STARETTA CHEX, and grandson SNAPLA. We truly believe a strong mare line is the key to breeding a great horse, and this mare line is very dominant.

AQHA: Q-30687
Sire:
  Docs Battler Dam: Clover Foxy Lady  (Click here for pedigree)

Owned by Rod & Anne Carpenter CHEXA was one of Pete’s all-time favourites.  She was a half-sister to the mighty Roanies Chex, and she “was the best cutout horse I ever rode”

Pete campaigned Chexa from 1999 to 2004, in this time they won 18 drafts, 42 places and 24 cutouts and cutting comps.  She won the Novice Horse Title in 2000 with a 6th in the Open Horse Title, she placed in the Warwick Gold Cup and won the Canning Downs in 2001 and an Open Horse Title.

We truly believe a strong mare line is the key to breeding a great horse, and this mare line is very dominant as seen with Roanies Chex and her progeny or other sisters that Pete campaigned.  They were Freckles Chex (1996-1999), Battlers Chex (1999-2004, won and placed in 36 drafts winning 2 saddles),
