Tim McQuay & Mister Nicadual Win AQHA Senior Reining Reserve World Championship
“It’s great to win right before the big Futurity,” said Tim, referring to
the National Reining Horse Association which begins on Thanksgiving day,
just 5 days later. “It gives you a lot of confidence. I am so grateful to
Jerry Kimmel for letting me ride this horse.”
Kimmel was equally appreciative of McQuay. “I bought this horse because I
wanted another one for Tim to ride,” he explained. “There is no one who can
show a horse like Tim McQuay.”
Tim McQuay and Jerry Kimmel’s Mister Nicadual captured the AQHA Senior
Reining Reserve World Championship Saturday, November 17.
Mister Nicadual is no stranger to tough competition. In fact, the 7-year-old
chestnut stallion has earned over $100,000 in NRHA competition, and won the
Team Gold Medal and Individual Silver Medal with Tim at the 2006 FEI World
Equestrian Games.
Immediately after the pair marked a 224, beating the next closest horse by
three points, Randy Paul and Sorcerers Apprentice, owned by Jim & Pat
Warren’s Rancho Oso Rio, marked a 224.5 – but that only served to heighten
the excitement. The McQuays had sold the Gunner stallion to the Warrens, and
were excited to see Paul win.
“It’s great to see Randy back at this high level of competition,” said
Colleen McQuay. “And we’re always excited to see one of our stallions
offspring do well.”
