The Trippy Dip Story

By Richard Chamberlain

Trippy Dip, a mare that will impact the world’s fastest breed of horse for generations to come, was euthanized June 24 [1999]due to chronic crippling osteoarthritis in her right knee.

Trippy Dip“Trippy Dip was a lady” says Abigail K. Kawananakoa [pictured with Trippy Dip], the breeder who owned the Thoroughbred mare for the past six years. “ ‘Trippy’ was a special horse, a great mare, and the Quarter Horse breed lost something unique when it lost her.”

Bred by S.F. “Sonny” Henderson of Odessa, Texas, the 23 year old daughter of Scout Leader was the dam of champions Calyx, Florentine and Ive Been Blessed. Including stakes winners Shillings, Stamen and Stylus, Trippy Dip’s 12 starters from 15 named foals so far have won 64 races, including 27 stakes, and have earned $1,618,249, 11th all time among broodmares (see updated record below).
Trippy Dip was out of the Dancing Dervish mare Dancing Straw, whose dam was by Jackstraw, a sprinter that sired champions Fly Straw and Straw Flight. Such blue blood made her a blue hen, and before then a classy sprinter that won 10 of 29 races, with eight second and two thirds, at distances of four – six furlongs. Earning $78,169 in two seasons at tracks from New Mexico to California, Trippy Dip qualified for the Rio Grande Futurity at Ruidoso Downs, Riley Allison Futurity at Sunland and the Phoenix Futurity at Turf Paradise. She posted times of 1:09 over six furlongs at Del Mar, :57.8 over five panels at Sunland, :51.2 going 4 ½ at Turf Paradise and 46.4 at half of a mile at Sunland.

Trippy Dip ended her career at Santa Anita in December 1979. After finishing a close second in a six furlong sprint, she came to the attention of Ginger Hyland, who at the time was managing her parent’s White Oaks Ranch at Lake Hughes, California.

“I’d always had really good fortune breeding Thoroughbred maresto Quarter Horse sires,” says Hyland, which in March 1997 became AQHA’s first female president. “Trippy was three, coming four, and I went to Santa Anita with my trainer, Calvin Mims, to see her. They pulled her out of the stall, she was at least 150 pounds underweight, she had girth itch going from the back of her knees, all the way up her legs, down her stomach and down her back legs to the hock – one gigantic, six foot open sore.

“I’d never seen anything so pitiful in my life. She had a bowed tendon, her feet had overgrown her shoes. And she was still winning races. I took one look at that great, big, tall, Thoroughbreddy looking bag of bones and said I’ll take her.”
Taking involved paying $44,000. Cash delivered, Hyland took Trippy Dip to the ranch and put her in a big stall with a 30 foot paddock outside. “We’d heavily bedded the stall, and Trippy hurt so bad she wouldn’t even step onto the ground of her paddock for two weeks,” she recalls. “ I had to have a vet come up and look at her, we had her reshoed, we treated the tendon, we treated that gawdawful girth itch – and she had scars the rest of her life from that. And we had to get weight back on her – feed her!”

Changing Careers
After nursing her back to health, Hyland in 1981 bred Trippy Dip to a promising young sire named Dash For Cash. The result was Calyx, which would win seven stakes, earn $164,468 and in 1987 become the first champion distance racing Quarter Horse. Florentine followed in 1984, winning 10 stakes, earning $1,123,102 and garnering championships at three and four.
Bred to Dash For Cash’s son First Down Dash, Trippy Dip in 1993 produced Ive Been Blessed, a gelding that was the 1997 champion distance horse. Altogether, Trippy Dip foaled six offspring by Dash For Cash, three by First Down Dash, two by Timeto Thinkrich, two by A Classic Dash, one by Easy Jet and one by Chicks Beduino (see updated record).

“There was a lot of criticism about my breeding Trippy Dip to Dash For Cash, in the early years,” says Hyland. “At that time ‘Dash’ wasn’t proven and a lot of people were questioning whether he was going to sire. Trippy’s three quarter sister Matching was tearing up the racetracks and many people kept asking ‘Why are you not breeding Trippy to Thoroughbreds?’ or ‘Why don’t you just embryo a Quarter Horse and just do two for one?’

“Well, sometimes you have to believe in your program. I don’t believe in being greedy – I believe in following Mother Nature’s course as much as I can. I felt that crossing Trippy Dip with Dash For Cash was exactly the thing to do. And it kinda looks like I might have made the right decision.”
It’s a decision that will yield results for years. One of the top sires in the breed, Calyx has sired 22 stakes and the earners of $3.95 million. Florentine – the broodmare of the year in 1995 – has produced champion and Los Alamitos Million Futurity (G1) winner This Snow Is Royal, stakes winner Avison and Los Al Million winner Evening Snow, an earner $567,116 that at Turf Paradise in 1996 set the :20.94 quarter mile world record. And Rivanne, Trippy Dip’s 1990 daughter by First Down Dash, produced the stakes winning The Ravin Maniac, which was fourth to Streakin Flyer in the 96’ All American Futurity (G1).

“In my opinion, Trippy represents one of the finest female lines in our industry today, a line that will have very far reaching effects on the breed itself…

Not only did she produce consistency with speed…

but she threw other things as well, soundness being one.”

“In my opinion, Trippy represents one of the finest female lines

in our industry today, a line that will have very far reaching effects on the breed itself,” says Hyland. “Not only did she produce consistency of speed, which is what we are ultimately going for, but she threw in other things as well, soundness being one. Her foals are very sound, athletically and reproductively – Florentine, for example, gets in foal every year. I think it is very important to maintain the health of the breed as well as the trait’s we’re breeding for, speed wise and performance wise.

Calyx, the sire of Make A Run

“Trippy passed on a lot of intelligence and personality, which I like in horses. They can be high strung, even difficult. But they also are very kind. Trippy’s young stallions could be difficult to handle, but there also is a kindness about them. They might give you problems, but they’re not mean. There’s a challenge to them – you’ve got to know how to work with that. And they don’t develop early. The line develops more slowly than many straight Quarter Horse lines – I think that comes from the Thoroughbred side. The longer you wait on them, the longer you take with them, the more patience you have with them, the better the results are going to be.”

Changing Homes
Hyland dispersed her horses at the Heritage Place Winter Mix Sale in January 1993. Kawananakoa bought Florentine, which was pregnant with Evening Snow and topped the sale at $167,000; Florentine’s Special Effort yearling filly Delphia, for $87,000; and Trippy Dip, which was carrying Ive Been Blessed, for $76,000. When Kawananakoa moved them to her Lakeview Quarter Horse Farm in Nuevo, California, Trippy Dip – which did not like being alone – kept company with Classic Canyon and Lady Juno in adjoining paddocks.
Trippy Dip now has an unraced two year old filly by A Classic Dash and a yearling filly by Chicks Beduino. The mare was bred to Chicks Beduino June 4, and the embryo was transferred to a recipient mare eight days later. Less than two weeks later, Trippy Dip was dead.
“Trippy was in good health, except for that knee,” says Kawananakoa. “She was tough, really tough. If she was in pain, she didn’t show it, not until the very end, not until the last couple of days. The heart she transmitted to her progeny was there to the end.


“After we bred her, we kept her comfortable, prayed and did all the proper rituals for a week,” she says. “Then it was like Trippy read the report and pulled down the curtain. On that Saturday, she just changed – the sparkle in her eye was gone. It was time and she told us. She was a lady till the end, at peace with herself.”

“To me she was the Queen Mom,” says Hyland. “She was royalty. Trippy Dip started a whole line in the Quarter horse industry that will never be forgotten. She gave me joy, great pride – and great privilege. It’s a privilege to have been a part of it, to have taken the talent that was already there and allow it it’s full potential. Certainly I’ll never forget her.”

TRIPPY DIP’s Offspring (updated 12-27-05): 16 foals, 15 to start, 13 ROM, 11 winners with 69 wins, 7 stakes winners with 28 stakes wins, 5 Superior Race Awards, 3 World Champions with 5 World Championships, total earnings $1,746,567.
