The Doc Tari Legacy
By Judy Wade
Cutting horse enthusiasts are gearing up for the 2015 National Cutting Horse Association Futurity coming to Will Rogers Coliseum
in Fort Worth Nov.17-Dec. 12. With over 1,800 entries and a payout between 3.8 and 4.3 million dollars, all eyes are on the
winning bloodlines of the three year- old competition. High Brow Cat and Pepto Boonsmal pedigrees have dominated
the last couple of years, but in the 1970s it was Doc Bar horses that stood front and center. Clay Countian Dick Gaines
definitely had a prophetic premonition in 1970 when he and Doodle Zachry partnered to purchase a weanling named Doc Tari sired
by Doc Bar and out of the mare Puros Linda for $2,250. He turned the little stallion out with his dad’s geldings on their
ranch near Claypool, Okla. To read more pick up the October 2015 issue of NTFR.

Seems lately these days Texas is becoming the envy of musicians from around the world.
With the overwhelming response to “Yellowstone,” the television series, Texas once again finds itself under the microscope of the world, much like the late 1980’s TV series know to all around the globe as “Dallas.”
With that said, the musician population in Texas is beginning to grow as many aspiring performers turn their sights on Texas instead of Nashville. Meet my newly-found friend and fellow musician Grace Partridge. This youthful 19 year old has recently made Texas her new home. She began fiddling at age four in Rigby, Idaho. Grace worked her way through the National Fiddle championships in Weiser, Idaho, becoming a five-time national champion. She’s even played on the Grand Ole Opry. Still yet, her desire to become a true Texas Fiddler has brought her to the Lone Star State. I’m pretty sure we can thank Bob Wills for that.
