Laurels for Faith: Miss Okie Too Inducted into NRHA Hall of Fame

On Saturday night, February 2, Miss Okie Too was awarded the honor of being inducted into the National Reining Horse Hall of Fame. The spotlight of a Hall of Fame induction was a little out of the ordinary for a mare that has remained quietly in the background - or actually the back pasture – for most of her life!

In 1988, Tim McQuay purchased Miss Okie Too from his client, Otto Schubert, as a youth horse for his daughter, Mandy. Twenty years later, her legacy is assured and her impact on the reining industry is unique.

The 1983 sorrel mare that has always been called “Faith” by the McQuays, was by Muskeg, and out of Glendas Miss Okie. Although talented, soundness issues meant she was only lightly shown by Mandy before joining the broodmare band. The choice for a stallion was easy for the McQuays – their own Hollywood Dun It. As it turned out, Dun It would be the only stallion she would ever be bred to.

And that pairing produced would help propel both sire and dam to greater glory. Most horses garner laurels through performance, center-stage. Miss Okie Too would walk a different path to fame - always with a foal by her side.

Dun It Okie Style was her very first foal and, although they didn’t know it at the time, would lead an incredible line of progeny. Miss Okie Too produced 13 offspring – all by Hollywood Dun It. All of them have been NRHA money earners – averaging over $15,000 per foal, with total earnings of more than $200,000.

That first foal, Dun It Okie Style, made the NRHA Open Futurity Finals with Tim, and then was successful with Mandy, earning $15,625 in NRHA competition.

Next came Faithfully Dun, and he earned nearly $34,000 in NRHA competition. He was also the 1997 Amateur NRHA Non Pro Reserve World Champion.

Okie Dun It Too won the 1996 ANCR Open Championship with Dario Carmignani. Okie Dun It Too has produced earners of over $35,000.

Okie Dun Did It is Miss Okie Too’s top money earner, with $57,814. He has many titles, including a Team USA USEF Gold Medal, plus an NRBC Intermediate and Limited Non Pro Championship.

Dun Being An Okie is not only an NRHA Money earner, he has also excelled in other western disciplines, qualifying for the AQHA World Show in heading, heeling, and reining.

Hollywood Miss Okie was a finalist at the National Reining Breeders Classic and has lifetime earnings of $9,386.

Some Kind Of Dun It has earnings of $14,789, and her offspring have earned nearly $50,000.

The names go on - Yes Ima Dunnit, Okie Just Dun It, A Dozen Dunits, The Deals Here, and Whos Dun It are all NRHA money earners.

Dun Its Déjà Vu, Miss Okie Too’s youngest foal, has earned more than $20,000 with Mandy McCutcheon, including a sixth place finish at the 2007 NRHA Derby. Dun Its Déjà Vu has earnings of more than $22,000.

For the McQuays, it was a thrill to see Faith recognized.

“There are a lot of mares who have done more in the show pen, or had offspring that have won more, but I don’t think there are any who have been more consistent than she has,” noted Tim McQuay.

“When a horse is inducted into the Hall of Fame, that horse has done more than just have an impact on the lives of its owners,” Colleen McQuay added. “Miss Okie Too touched and influenced not only our lives, but also everyone who has had the opportunity to show one of her babies.”

Indeed, the list of those fortunate to ride one of her “Lucky 13” offspring includes names like Monica Hicks, Bonnie Hippensteel, Doug Carpenter, Terry Thompson, Jose Vazquez, Dario Carmignani, Louise Serio, Allison Serio, Cade McCutcheon and Steve Archer and quite a few more.

Miss Okie Too will be the third horse calling McQuay Stables home to be inducted into the NRHA Hall of Fame, following the tradition of Hollywood Dun It and Gunner.
