    Date Foaled: June 6, 1995
    Breeder: Greg and Sandy Frick, Whitewood, Saskatchewan
    Owner: John Row, Tishomingo, Oklahoma

    Going Head Over Heels!
    Mike Row and NAERIC Registered Apache Blue Boy "Head" for the Winner`s Circle in Another AQHA World Championship Show!

    After capturing three of the last four Amateur World Championship titles in Heeling together, and collecting a reserve World Championship last year, Mike Row and Apace Blue Boy, a 1995 flashy grey stallion, beat out 52 entries with a whopping score of 226 to handily to win their first Amateur Heading title at the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) World Championship Show in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on November 12, 2008.

    "I`m very, very blessed to have this horse and be able to show him," said Row, of Tishomingo, Oklahoma. "Words can`t describe how I feel."

    Prior to the championships, Apache Blue Boy, (Blue Boy Doc x Apache King Miss by Boston Apache) owned by Mike`s father John Row, also of Tishomingo, had earned $63,407.00 in AQHA World Champion Show prize money.

    Since the AQHA World Championship Show is an approved event under the NAERIC Advantage®, an incentive program that rewards NAERIC registered horses, Apache Blue Boy`s 2008 World Show earnings have been matched, dollar for dollar, boosting his total World Show earnings to $128,814.00!

    As a result of competing at an AQHA World Championship Show, Apache Blue Boy earned the distinct honor of becoming the first NAERIC registered horse to earn matching funds through the NAERIC Advantage®.

    Mike Row competes with Apache Blue Boy in the Amateur Roping events, while professional trainer Steve Orth, of Guthrie, Oklahoma, keeps the horse tuned and competes in the Open Roping events. When he`s not competing, Apace Blue Boy performs the time-honored traditions of tending cattle and breeding mares at the R & S Cattle Ranch owned by John Row.

Horses must qualify to compete at AQHA World Championship Shows by earning a predetermined number of points in each event at AQHA approved competition held during the 12-month period ending July 31st of each year.
