Cool breeze8/12/2023 He had three very talented trainers before me in his 2 and 3-year-old years which provided a great start. He’s strong hocked, has a flat front leg and a strong topline. “He checks all the boxes for a successful western pleasure horse, as you would expect having a dam like Zippin The Breeze. “Cool Breeze is very quiet, good natured and willing,” Jackson said. His last show this year will be at the American Quarter Horse Association’s World Championship Show where Jackson will compete in Level 2 Junior Western Pleasure and Brenda will show in Amateur Western Pleasure. At the Quarter Horse Congress, Jackson will show him in Junior Western Pleasure and in the Open Western Pleasure Maturity and Brenda will enter the Amateur Western Pleasure and Non-Pro Western Pleasure Maturity. “Amanda is a perfectionist and is very tuned into each different horse and every little detail that turns ‘good’ into ‘great.’ Mark has been fantastic at breaking out and riding the young ones in addition to the older show horses and probably the most important job of keeping everything running in the right direction.”Īmanda Jackson and Mark Katafiasz and their daughter, Scarlett.Ĭool Breeze will next compete at the National Snaffle Bit Association’s World Championship Show and Breeders Championship Futurity in the Intermediate Open Western Pleasure Maturity with Jackson and in Amateur and Non-Pro Western Pleasure Maturity with Brenda Looney. “Mark and Amanda are a great pair that really round each other out,” Brenda said. More time in the saddle helps her better know the daily quirks and personalities of her horses. With her busy schedule at her own veterinary clinic in town that aspect, alone, has a big impact on her success in the show pen. She attributes that success to having him, and all their other horses at home, where she can ride several times each week. “I can count on him to do his job every trip in the show pen and I am able to trust that as long as I remember to do things right, he will too.” “He has really stepped up as an amateur show horse for me,” Brenda said. Jackson has been quite competitive in Junior Western Pleasure classes on him this year and Brenda and Cool Breeze have been either Circuit Champion or Reserve Circuit Champion in Amateur Western Pleasure at every show they have attended. “Although he had a successful 3-year-old year, we wanted to see how he would do as a maturity horse in a bridle and we are thrilled with how he continues to mature and get better.” “We decided to bring Joe home and put him back on a training schedule so that we could show him for another year and still breed a select group of mares with the stored frozen semen,” Lee Looney explained. In December, Joe went to the breeding shed, was collected a few times and had semen frozen and in January the Looneys brought in Jackson and Katafiasz so that they could have all their horses at home, including Cool Breeze. Also in 2018, Brenda Looney and Cool Breeze were Reserve Champions in the 3-Year-Old Intermediate Non-Pro Western Pleasure at the Tom Powers Futurity and placed third in the Premier Sires 3-Year-Old Non-Pro Western Pleasure at the Big A. The following year, Cool Breeze and Angie Cannizzaro won the Premier Sires $5,000 Limited Horse Open Western Pleasure at the Cornhusker in Nebraska and the Premier Sires 3-Year-Old Open Western Pleasure at the Big A Circuit in Georgia before placing sixth in the 3-Year-Old Western Pleasure Futurity at the Congress. A month later Andy Cochran showed him to an eighth place in the 2-Year-Old Western Pleasure at the AQHA World Show. The Looneys purchased him from longtime friends Dan and Kathryn Frederick, who raised the colt, just after he placed in the top 10 of the Coughlin 2-Year-Old Western Pleasure at the Congress.
