All the way from South Africa, Jordan Wright Du Plessis aboard Alpha Taris Chic were the first to be crowned of the slated Shootouts, earning the Yellowstone Rookie Shootout Finals Championship title.
Alpha Taris Chic is by Wimpy Chic and out of Taris Attraction. The 7-year-old gelding is bred by Alpha Quarter Horses and owned by Jordan Wright Du Plessis.
โI've been riding him for about three years now, and he's just really fun. He's a lot of horse. He always says yes, and he's got a really funny personality. He's so quirky, and I love him so much,โ Du Plessis said.
Scoring a 214.5, Du Plessis was thrilled with her and the geldingโs run considering what vast improvements the duo made from their start in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
โMy run was really goodโฆ I rode him in the derby when the show started, and he was really good, I just didnโt ride him very goodโฆ I went in today wanting to break that, and it was really fun. I had a lot of fun showing him.โ
With such a breakthrough run and win, Du Plessis feels grateful for her parents and close friends who made success abroad this week at the NRBC possible.
