Ranch Horse ~ Doctor T Tari (aka Popcorn) - Tractor Supply SR

Doctor T Tari, known around the barn as Popcorn, helped make history. The chestnut Quarter Horse was partnered with Stacy Westfall in 2006's Road to the Horse colt-starting competition, when Stacy was the first-ever female competitor.  They went on to win the competition.  One person in the audience called it "a dream come true for women from all over," showing that women were just as good at training as men.  We've come a long way since in the horse industry, but Stacy and Popcorn (who she purchased after the event, marking the first time a clinician purchased their colt) led the way.

Breyer's tribute to this historic duo was released only through Tractor Supply Co in the fall of 2010.  

This fellow is Near Mint with just a tiny box rub on his right shoulder and a pinpoint one on his right barrel and hip.  He features the lightest coat color I've seen on this release, with lots of color depth, and a neatly masked stripe with muzzle pinking.  He even comes with his original bio card.
