Wind Her Up Chic is 2022 NRBC Leading Dam

Wind Her Up Chic won more than $102,000 with Todd Bergen (pictured) and Jordan Larson.

Although the National Reining Breeders Classic is a stallion-based program, everyone knows that you can’t have great reining horses without great mares.

One of the National Reining Horse Association’s all-time leading dams, Wind Her Up Chic, produced two NRBC Open Champions at this year’s event. The mare, owned by Tim Anderson, is the dam of both Open Level 4 Champion Jerseys Baby Driver (by Yellow Jersey), and Open Level 1 Champion Starfire Sixtysix (Inferno Sixty Six).

Those two foals added an additional $85,530 to the mare’s record, bringing her total offspring earnings to $839,422 and moving her from 10th to seventh on the list of NRHA’s All-Time Leading Dams.

Wind Her Up Chic, by NRHA Seven Million Dollar Sire Smart Chic Olena out of Wind Her Up Doc, earned more than $102,000 in her show career with NRHA Two Million Dollar Riders Jordan Larson and Todd Bergen. Big wins include a seventh-place finish at the NRHA Futurity, a fourth-place finish at the NRBC, and a third-place win at the NRHA Derby.

“She is a delight to own – a dream come true for me. She is such a great breeder and crosses well with any sire. I think she has had foals by over a dozen sires and they’ve all been money earners except one,” Anderson shared. “The NRBC is one of our favorite shows. It is always fun and pays so well. Besides enjoying the show, we nominate all our foals to the program.”

Wind Her Up Chic, born in 2003, now sits right behind Wind Her Up Shiner, on NRHA’s All-Time Leading Dam standings. Wind Her Up Shiner, by NRHA Four Million Dollar Sire Shining Spark, also had earnings added during the 2022 NRBC. Her foals, SLJ Corazon Valiente and Like Shiner, both by NRHA Two Million Dollar Sire Smart Like Juice, won $22,740 in Katy.

Wind Her Up Chic is the dam of 2022 NRBC Level 4 Open Champion Jerseys Baby Driver.
