EC Photo of the Day- Last Detail on the Cover, More Than a Decade Ago

Following the news of the passing of AQHA great, Last Detail, this morning, March 5th, 2018, this Equine Chronicle Photo of the Day is in his honor.

At the age of 10, Last Detail was featured on the cover of The Equine Chronicle for the 2001 September/October edition. At the time, the 1991, 16.2 hand, blood bay stallion was already a World and Congress Champion in Junior Hunter Under Saddle. He was owned by Whitaker Farms- Larry, Linda, and Emily Whitaker and Ben and Amy Merryman. He stood at Ron Horn and June Warren’s facility in Yukon, Oklahoma.

2001 September/October Equine Chronicle Cover Story

Last Detail has quickly proven himself as a sire by consistently producing offspring with the size, look, and movement that is desired in the Hunt Seat horse of today. His foals are inheriting his deep, slow-legged stride and laid back, trainable attitude, enabling them to win at the major shows and futurities across the country. 

A few of his recent performers include Ima Delicate Detail- Superior Youth Hunter Under Saddle and 7th at the 2001 AQHYA World Show in that class; Perfect Detail- Superior Youth Hunter Under Saddle; AM Retail- 2001 World Show qualified in Junior and Green Working Hunter and Junior Hunter Hack; Tigress By Detail- 2001 World Show qualified in Junior and Amateur Hunter Under Saddle; Dancin With Details- 2001 World Show qualified in Junior Pleasure Driving; and Tribute to Detail- winner of 26 all-arounds and reserve all-arounds. 

Picture at right are more “details” of the summer of 2001. Last Detail is one of the leading Equistat Hunt Seat sires and has already made it onto the leading AQHA Sires list with only three foal crops old enough to perform.
