Dan McWhirter Quarter Horses is excited to announce that their AQHA/APHA stallion, Absolutely No Doubt has just returned from Tulsa, winning at his final show of the year and is the unofficial 2008 AQHA High Point Performance Halter Stallion in both the Open and Junior Divisions. In his first year to show, he was also named Congress Reserve Champion and has earned 42 performance halter points along with 20 western pleasure points.
Absolutely No Doubt (Absolute Investment X Shez Got Good Style by Zippos Mr Good Bar) is one of those special individuals that puts it all together. His pedigree reads like a “who’s who” of Quarter Horse World with Hall of Famers in both sire and dam lines. His conformation is impeccable, with the balance and bone structure you would expect of Absolute Bloodlines. His disposition is beyond reproach, winning admirers of anyone who comes in contact with him. But most importantly, Roany puts it all together successfully in the show pen – in Western Pleasure and in Performance Halter.

Absolutely No Doubt is a 2004 red roan stallion co-owned with Correll Buckhalter, Philadelphia Eagles running back who is also at the top of his game. Last Sunday the Eagles’ 44-6 decisive victory over the Dallas Cowboys earned their slot in the NFL playoff game next Sunday, January 4 at 4:30 PM ET on Fox.
“We’re particularly proud of Roany’s accomplishments and of his magnetism,” says Carol McWhirter. “He develops a fan club wherever he goes. People love him because of his kind, docile nature. He just wants to be good. His laid-back attitude makes him easy to show in both western pleasure and halter.”
The McWhirters are also excited about his future in the breeding shed after “test-breeding” two mares. Both of his 2008 foals are roan and obviously Absolute Bloodlines in conformation, movement and mind. They’re looking forward to more foals in 2009.
“The colts look exceptional- just like duplicates of their sire,” says Carol. “In the ‘sire-line’ tradition of The Invester and Absolute Investment, both are proven to be pre-potent breeding horses. From what we can see so far, Absolutely No Doubt is following in this same ‘sire-line’ tradition.” Absolutely No Doubt was shown to a top-5 finish at the AQHA World Show in Open Performance Halter Stallions and the balance of the year under the guidance of halter trainer Dave Williamson, Vine Grove, Ken. Roany will soon go back in performance training with Brad and Vicki Pitts, of P5 Equestrian, Evansville, Ind, to complete his AQHA Championship.
In addition, Absolutely No Doubt will stand at P5 Equestrian Breeding Farm, Henderson Kentucky with a $1250 breeding fee; enrolled in both the AQHA and APHA Kentucky Breeders Incentive programs. Read more about this talented new stallion at www.absolutebloodlines.com and www.danmcwhirter.com.
