Meep.Meep - 2017-10-01 8:11 PM Frodo - 2017-10-01 7:43 PM He didn't seem conformation-wise nearly on the same level as Lisa Lockhart's Louie but had a lot of good things going for him. Obviously he loved his job and was darn good at it. There are just those "special" horses out there and he was one of them. I think a lot of us would have liked to have seen him enjoy a few retirement years.
I don't think Hot Shot had near the soundness issues Louie has had though, but I could be wrong. When they'd try to leave Hot Shot home he'd get upset, I don't think he wanted to retire :- )
If I recall correctly I believe hot shot did have soundness issues and had to be de nerved. I vaguely remember hearing that way back in the day.
I never knew that. Learn something new everyday 
If he hit a barrel, she immediately pulled up, they were very cautious of how they used him. I saw him at NBHA youth world for a few years, it was amazing how the arena filled up to watch him run. I can’t imagine running a horse that you know all eyes are on you. |

I don't know why anyone bothers to clone these days, none of the clones seem to have any of the same talent as the origional. lol |

I don't know if that's completely fair. Most of the clones literally cost so much to produce at six figures that most people are not willing to risk them by competing on them.
I am on the fence about the whole cloning thing overall. |

I agree, I think most clone for emotional reasons more so than expecting another great performer although the hope is there. I understand having that truly exceptional horse and not wanting to completely let go when science allows you to keep the DNA going. |

Hotshot's clone, Another Shot is owned by Steinhoff's. They stand him to the public and have bred several of their own mares to him. |

I want to believe that this is the reason that Charmayne cloned Scamper. I don't think she was ready to let her life long friend go...
I know if I had the money to keep one alive like that I'd truly consider it. (I'm on the fence about it as well.) But I would have them as a pasture ornament more than a mount.  |

Location: Weatherford, TX | jd&ez - 2017-10-01 7:41 PM texpat - 2017-10-01 7:21 PM Did any of you see Hot Shot up close? How tall was he? Was he well-conformed (any flaws)? He seemed to have massive hindquarters. What made him so formidable? All input appreciated. Thanks in advance, all. I got to meet him in Memphis, acutally the Showplace not really in Memphis, around 2003-2004. We went without an entry just to see the great Hotshot. The family was very gracious. I didn't measure him but he wasn't a tall horse. I'm guessing 14.2-14.3 tops. Very well put together. Wide as a tank!! Very, very good natured horse at the stall.
We were in the presense of greatness and it showed. Buckskin has always been my favorite color too.
My favorite horse of all time that was owned by someone else is and always will be Marshian Moon. Probably knowing the Lettermans so well and seeing MM so often but Hotshot was the better horse.
But when I start thinking about all time horses I am drawn to memories of Rooster.
I would love to see Hotshot and Rooster hook up with both in their prime. 
OMG....Marshian Moon.!!!! That is a blast from the past. I know the thread is about Hotshot, but Marshian Moon was the so amazing back in the day around that region/area. Nice to see old bloodlines brought up. |

Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR | Hotshot wasn't over 14.2 and looked like a roping horse. I remember when he bucked Peyton off at a rodeo and broke her wrist. Didn't she win Rookie of the year on him and qualified for the NFR in like 97? |

Oh how you have to love the world of barrel racing. HotShot passed away in 2011 and is still a main topic. To clearify a few things... Yes he was cloned and the clone stands at our house in Vinita, Ok his oldest colt crop is 3. HotShot did not have any soundness issues other than a torn suspensory and came back strong from that to go on and win multiple world titles. The horse truly loved his job and when we tried to keep him at home he truly was heart broken. He was never ready to retire because at the age of 24 when he passed he was still kicking butt. He was trained by Peyton Raney . Janet Stover ran and won the world on HotShot in 2001. He was a Christmas gift that year to my oldest sister and they announced it during one of her runs. HotShot stood at 14.2 and he might have been small but had a heart bigger than most. If anyone has any question we would gladly answer ?? |

I didn't think he had any soundness issues. Glad to "hear it from the horses mouth". And I remember them saying he'd be so upset if he was left at home. Why retire a horse that is sound and wants to go do what he loves? Thanks for posting this! I love a little horse!!!! |

Of course he's still a main topic.No matter how long ago he passed people still remember and think of him.I would be so proud of that:)He was truly amazing and to forget him or not be curious if you never saw or ran against him would be just sad. |

Hot Shot's Story and Tribute by the BBR for those of you who aren't familiar. It'll make you cry https://youtu.be/nyCvAiXd94I
Yep, made me cry. . . How old was he when he died? And what happened?
What an amazingly huge heart and so much grit in a not-so-big body. He was truly a legend.

I agree, the girls were amazing jockeys on him, what a compliment that they were able to jockey one of the most talented horses and become part of barrel racing fame and history. |

I don't know the details of his death. I believe he was 24 when he passed and I believe he was still in tip top shape and running when he passed. But again, don't quote me on that.
I loved the video. |

Yes according to his post, he was 24 and he had made a run not long before his death. Sure a legend that will always be remembered. |
