CATS RITA BALLOU, known in the barn as Rita, is an absolutely
breathtaking bay roan filly. She is the perfect size, standing at 14.1
HH. Rita has picture-perfect conformation; she is definitely the ideal
Quarter Horse! Her disposition is the kind that everyone wants and
is very hard to find. She is so kind, willing, and gentle, whether you
are on the ground or in the saddle. Rita’s training is outstanding. She has been
in good hands her whole life. Her education started as a 2-year-old. She was
trained and shown at the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity. Rita spent her 4-year-old
year doing ranch work and covering the country. Her 5-year-old year has been a
mix of everything, from ranch work to trail riding and showing. Rita travels very
smoothly, with a great walk, trot, and lope. She transitions through her gait with
ease and has great lead changes. Rita is good with traffic, loads in a stock or slant
trailer, and stands great for the vet and farrier. She loves to be pampered, bathed,
and groomed. Rita sells 100% sound with clean X-rays. Rita’s pedigree speaks for
itself. She is an own daughter of Bet Hesa Cat, LTE $272,151 NCHA Open World
Champion; NCHA Open World Champion Stallion. Sire of 588 money earners
totaling in excess of $8,044,631 and earners of 2,498 AQHA points. Her dam, Short an Acre, has earned $11,028 in NCHA earnings and is the daughter of Bob Acre Doc,
LTE $426,136 in NCHA earnings, NCHA Open and Non-Pro World Champion, Two-time NCHA Open World Champion Stallion, and sire of 427 money earners, winning in
excess of $10.5 million. With a pedigree like hers, it’s no accident Rita has turned out so wonderful. If you’re looking for a great all-around partner, whether it’s cutting,
VRH, or trail riding, she’s your gal! Rita has the training to do the job! She has the disposition that makes her a joy to ride and the looks to turn everyone’s head. In addi-
tion to all of that, she is the kind of mare you could breed and pass on her pedigree and wonderful personality traits. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact
