HARRY II – ‘ Though he be little , he be fierce .’ – Shakespeare
Harry II will be a yearling come January 1st , but thanks to state of the art reproductive technology , in a very real sense , he ’ s already sired an entire herd of WNFR horses for Iowa ’ s Three Hills Rodeo Company .
Harry II is a clone of the great Three Hills sire , Harry . Harry was bred by The Duke of the Chutes , Harry Vold : Little Baldy on his daddy ’ s side , Custer on the dam ’ s . It took a while for Dave Morehead to strike a deal with Vold , but it happened . Aside from being a great bucking horse himself , his success as a sire is proven by the horses you ’ ll see at WNFR 2016 : Buck Owens , Final Feather , Bay City Kitty , Big Show , Bonafide and Goin South … and that ’ s just the horses who are direct sons . Grandson ’ s and daughters of Harry are set to go here , as well . attention to her season ’ s itinerary , the type of ground that fits her preferences , solid nutrition through OLS Tubs protein supplements , Back On Track blankets and a fitness routine that spans beyond the rodeo arena . The fact that she ’ s been chosen to work the WNFR for six consecutive years speaks to the success of Outlaw ’ s management .
There is controversy that surrounds cloning in every breed ’ s registries . There is a lot of discussion among horsemen that revolves around narrowing the gene pool by concentrating on just a few individuals who through cloning would eventually dominate the breed . There are positives , as well , such as never losing or diluting the blood of proven individuals .
That ’ s all lost on young Harry II . He ’ s just a happy colt looking for his shot at fame in the big world of bucking horses . Under the control of the Morehead family of horsemen , he ’ s sure to have what he needs to make his mark on the world .

When she ’ s on her best behavior , she ’ s honest and gives her rider a shot at the pay window if he manages to make the 8 second ride . When she ’ s on her very best behavior , she ’ s unpredictable in style , deceptively strong and giving her craft 100 % of her power and creativity .
Her connections at Outlaw Buckers have pointed her to success since they acquired her in 2010 through careful
