Bob Denhardt trivia

[Ryan]

I ran across an ad in an 1945 Cattleman Magazine that, was posted by Bob Denhardt, from Wharton, TX. selling a "A Good Quarter Mare for Sale" named Hummerette, who was 3yrs old.

She is sired by Humdinger out of Pete Frost's Grulla mare which was sired by J.H. Minnick's Bear. Being 3, she would have been foaled about 1941.

OK, the question that popped into my head, is 1.) Is this THE Bob Denhardt, - AQHA pedigree historian and early register, and if so, 2) Why isn't this mare "Hummerette" registered with AQHA?

I continued by research and there is no mare listed by that name, or breeding under Humdinger's get record.

In fact, I haven't seen a Hummerette in NBQHA records either.

Who is this mare? Does anyone know? Anyone know who J.H. Minnick's Bear was?


I only bring this up, as it just peaked my interest. If this is indeed, Bob Denhardt, I would have thought this mare would have been more documented within AQHA. Unless, she of course dropped dead that day after the photo was taken and at which point the whole idea of looking for this mare or pedigree is just trivial.


Susan? Frank? Pat? anyone thoughts?

Ryan, Thanks for the picture and keeping the message board going. I miss Pat M.

That is the Bob Denhardt. As for the mare, the name could have been changed. [Now when I reread your post, I see that you considered this fact]

I really like that magazine. It had so much good information.

Hi Dee

Yeah I miss Pat's posts as well. Anyway, I believe that her name was change and the mare is reg. as Sarah Denhardt. Although the color and foaling year and owner would be correct. The bottom side of pedigree from the AQHA Stud book on Sarah Denhardt and this Humdinger are different. Which makes me really wonder which is correct. - just more stuff to wonder....hmmmm
