Boujee’s resume is getting a bit boujee.
Gucci Equine’s blue roan stallion, Nu One Time Blues (“Boujee”), just won his fifth futurity – and he’s already been the reserve champion at another five futurities, to go along with his Heel Horse of the BFI award this spring. Did we mention he’s just 6?
At the American Rope Horse Futurity Association’s Red Bud Spectacular in Oklahoma City, May 29 through June 1, he smoked the field of 6-and-under horses to earn $16,350. Earlier this week, he took home $7,830 from the Royal Crown Futurity at the Lazy E Arena. Making Nu One Time Blues lifetime earnings $331,790. He and Joseph Harrison won the first round with a 233.24-point score, and later came out with the aggregate win – 936.56 points on four steers.
“Honestly, he just keeps getting better,” said Harrison. “He gets a little bit older and a little bit more trained and just gets a little better all the time.”
But if you were to ask Harrison what attribute of Boujee’s he thinks really stands out to judges, he’ll say it has to be the whole package.
“He can really run, so he always hits the turn in the right place, and he reads the cow so good,” said Harrison, a six-time NFR heeler. “It seems like I talk about him all the time, because people are always asking about him, and honestly, I have to say he’s just a freak, man. He reads a cow so good. No matter if the cow is super-fast or checks off – or is running really hard and then checks off – he’s so good-footed to where it’s like he never misses the ground. He can be running wide open and slow down instantly. He can be running full out and if I put my bottom strand on the ground, he can start stopping at any time from any speed.”
Harrison didn’t just win $16,350 on Boujee, He banked another $25,410 for placing second and third in the Futurity on different horses, and another $12,954 for winning the Pre-Futurity for heel horses 4 and under. That’s where he first turned heads with Boujee – and when he was purchased by Oklahoma’s Gucci Equine.
“Brett Davis at Gucci Equine has some really nice mares bred to him, and I’m pretty pumped about the colts he already has on the ground,” Harrison added. “Man, they honestly move just like him – the way they carry themselves. I think he’s really going to show up on his babies.”
