USA newspaper special edition for the nrcha SnaffleBit Futurity 2009 of Reno, Nevada, at page 26 of the insert “Stock Horse News” write: Shopfer took the 3-Year-Old Championship riding Shine Like a Babe, by Shining Spark and out of Summer Chex, a bay mare bred by Carol Rose and owned by Quarter Dream. The pair scored 72 in the herd work, 70 in the rein work, and 70,5 down the fence, for a total of 212,5 – the third highest at the show.
Helena said: ” she is for sure a talent horse, we are quite happy for that, but what most of the people don’t know, is the fact that her full broder is Shine Like Hail, winner of 114 000 usd in Nrcha, he has been one of the highest money earning sons of Shining Spark, and is already a Great reproducer either in Nrha and Nrcha, and we are pretty sure that Shine Like a Babe also will be a great reproducer, for next year we hope to have a foal frome her and Topsail Whiz”.
When we ask Helena about 2010 new foal born she said:
“This year we have been unluky with the breeding programs due to the heavy training to our performing broodmares that didn’t get the time for produce a embryo, but in early Jan we will wait the born od the Solanos Strlight foal with Einstein, in Usa about in March, the mother of Gotta “One Gun Chick” wil produce a foal with “Helluva Chex”, and later on, in May our Topsail Whiz mare, Whiz n Feet we let a little “Wimpys Little Step” born, let’s see how nice they will be.”
