Select Amateur Bonnie Sheren of Studio City, California has purchased a new standout in the show arena to add to her already impressive lineup that includes More Radical and Heza Radical Zip. Hez Blazin Trouble, known as “Perfect Parker” is a double registered 2015 AQHA/APHA gelding by RL Best Of Sudden and out of Haylo Farm’s Troubles A Blazin.
“From the first week Sara Simons sent me the video of him changing leads, I tried to buy him,” recalls Jason Martin of Highpoint Performance Horses. “Every month, I made them an offer, and they turned it down. Finally, at the Redbud Spectacular, I made them an offer, and they said yes. I wore them down. We love exactly how he is doing, so we are leaving him with Sara and RJ through the AQHA World Show.”
Parker has been racking up the wins already this year winning prizes at all the major shows. The four-year-old was All-Around Green Horse at Sun Circuit as well as Circuit Champion in the Green Hunter Under Saddle. He was the Rider’s Cup Champion in the Green Jr Western Riding, All-Around Junior horse at March to Arch as well as Circuit Champion in Jr Western Riding, Green Trail, and Green Hunter Under Saddle. At his last show, Parker was Redbud Western All-Around Horse and Circuit Champions in the Green Trail, Green Western Riding, and Level 2 Jr Trail.
“He scored like an 83 or 84 in the Western Riding at the Redbud as a four-year-old,” Martin adds, obviously impressed with his talent.
Sara Simons adds, “We are excited that he’s going to such a great owner. I know Highpoint will do amazing with him. He’s the most natural lead changer I have ever worked with; amazing minded as he tries so hard in everything he does. I feel like he is truly one in a million.”
Parker’s new owner, Bonnie Sheren, is very excited about her new horse and expresses her gratitude toward everyone involved with putting this deal together. “I want to say thank you to Sara Simons and Jason Martin for putting this together. I’m extremely grateful to Ali Eidson and Belinda Dutton for allowing me to purchase this remarkably talented young horse. Sara has done an outstanding job with Parker, and I’m looking forward to watching Sara show him for the rest of the year. I’ve wanted to get a three or four-year-old for some time now and had told Jason I’d wait for the right one. I’m happy to say this is the right one.”
Parker’s former owner Ali Eidson discusses the sale of her once-in-a-lifetime horse. “I feel extremely grateful to have had the privilege to have owned Parker, or as he quickly was renamed ‘Perfect Parker’ at Simons Show Horses. Sara and RJ turned Parker into my dream horse in just a year. His mind and talent were incomparable to any horse I have shown.”
Eidson continues, “To watch Parker in the western riding is breathtaking, and he’s equally as amazing in the trail. I know Perfect Parker is just starting his long journey of success; I’m honored to have had him for the amount of time I did. I can’t wait to watch him continue in his career; he will be legendary.”
Ali concludes her thoughts, “As I fight back the tears in selling what will probably be one of the greatest horses of all time, I am equally as happy for Bonnie Sheren and Jason Martin. I couldn’t have picked a better pair for ‘Perfect Parker.’”
The rest of the year, Hez Blazin Trouble will continue to show in the Green Hunter Under Saddle, Green and Junior Trail and Western Riding.
We wish Bonnie the best of luck with her new superstar!
