Our beloved Chasin Firewater ascended to greener pastures on April 23, 2015.
We are eternally grateful to Dr. Cliff Honnas and his staff at Texas Equine Hospital. They exhausted every possible avenue to save Chasin from the catastrophic complications of a stifle injury that he initially received at the 2011 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
We greatly appreciated all the prayers, calls and texts from his many fans and followers during his convalescence.
...Chasin was everything his breeder Vickie Adams envisioned him to be—a winner in the arena and a leader in the breeding barn with offspring earnings of nearly $500,000 from just four performance age crops to the arena.
For his owner Dee Braman, Chasin was so much more. He was the cornerstone of her program and made JB Quarter Horses a household name in the barrel racing industry. Dee graciously shared him with public, making him one of the most promoted, yet affordable, champion sons of Fire Water Flit. She took great pride in the fact that Chasin’s great genetics were available to “Mom-and-Pop” breeders and blue-collar barrel racers, saying everyone is capable of raising and training a great horses—or better yet, one that makes you simply smile.
Chasin made Dee smile. Just being in his presence made her eyes twinkle. Their personalities a perfect match.
Chasin was her dream horse—a gorgeous stallion with a pro rodeo, 1D resume that she could climb on and enjoy running. Chasin was also her beloved friend. Throughout this whole ordeal her only goal was to have him come home to where he could spend his days in leisure, where she could simply look at him and smile…for what he’s done, for what his offspring have done and are going to do, and for simply being here.
Chasin is a true legend now and will forever be in our hearts.
We miss you, Chasin. By God’s grace, we’ll meet you again.
