BACKGROUND
Freestyle is a 1981 chestnut mare, our only thoroughbred at Rao Farms. She was bred for racing, but it is unclear whether she ever raced. She was bred by Bright West Blood Stock Agency of Texas. She is out of Banker Mike by Flora Neff.
She produced one thoroughbred foal, Freestyle’s Banker, prior to be being purchased as a nine-year old by the Hollings of Willow Run Stable, Mequon, Wisconsin. She began her hunter/jumper career at Willow Run, and was shown for five years.
Freestyle’s pedigree goes back to Raise A Native, Jaipur, Princiquello, and Man O’ War, and Seabiscuit's sire, Hard Tack.
After her retirement Susan DeChant purchased Freestyle from the Hollings for the sum of one dollar, a gesture of kindness by the Hollings who wanted her in a good retirement home.
Freestyle produced an Appaloosa filly, Emerald City Express four years ago. She had a beautiful Appendix Quarter Horse bay colt in April 2004, out of World Champion Quarter Horse, Last Detail.
As a further gesture of kindness, and to ensure that she will live out her life at Rao Farms, Susan gave Freestyle to Becky for Christmas in 2003.
