Sibling Rivalry
JIMMY, TWINKIE AND CLINT
Key Bloodlines: SON OF OAK
Chad Masters took home the $5,000 bonus for the AQHA/PRCA Horse of the Year title in 2017 with his 2006 gelding, Madison Oak, the fast sorrel horse he calls Clint. Masters won Cheyenne in 2019 with Joseph Harrison on Clint, and he’s excelled in setups big and small during rodeo’s regular season.
“There’s a good friend of ours named Clint Madison that lives in Kentucky now but he’s from Mississippi,” Masters said. “He and his family raise these horses, and I bought mine when he was 4. Then, I bought another one from him a couple years later that was a full brother to him when he was 4.”
That second sibling, Twinkie, is a full brother to Clint and, while Masters eventually sold him, he was a stand-out backup and jackpot horse in any setup.
Masters won the average at the NFR with Travis Graves in 2017 onthat Masters calls Jimmy.
