Joe Reed (1921–1947), often known as Joe Reed P-3, was a Quarter Horse racehorse from the early days of the American Quarter Horse Association (or AQHA) that became an influential sire with the breed. ==Life== Joe Reed P-3 was registered with number 3 in the AQHA. He was foaled in 1921, the offspring of two famous short track racehorses.〔Short ''First Twenty Quarter Horses'' p. 34〕 He was a chestnut stallion, bred by Henry Lindsey of Granger, Texas. When he was registered with the AQHA he was owned by J. J. Slankard, of Elk City, Oklahoma.〔AQHA ''Official Stud Book and Registry Combined 1–5'' p. 79〕 He died on May 19, 1947.〔 His sire was a Thoroughbred that mainly raced on the short tracks who once famously lost to Pan Zareta.〔Denhardt "Foundation Sire Joe Reed P-3" ''Quarter Horse Journal'' pp. 18-20, 110〕 Joe Reed's dam was a Louisiana bred quarter mare whose breeding has always been somewhat controversial.〔LeBlanc ''Cajun-Bred Running Horses'' pp. 32-34〕〔(Joe Reed P-3 Pedigree at All Breed Pedigree ) retrieved on July 4, 2007〕 The actual decision to breed Della Moore to Joe Blair has always been attributed to the desire of the racetrack grooms to quiet the two horses during a backside craps game. According to this story, Della Moore was in heat and both she and Joe Blair were making such a racket that it was disturbing the gambling, so the horses were bred to shut them up, without any knowledge of Della Moore's owner Henry Lindsey. Several months later, it became obvious that Della Moore was pregnant and Lindsey tracked down what exactly had happened. Joe Reed later turned into a decent match racer himself, although all of his racing took place before the organization of the AQHA.〔Beckman "Joe Reed" ''Quarter Horse Journal'' pp. 36, 308〕 Joe Reed was the sire of several outstanding horses, including Joe Reed II, Red Joe of Arizona, Joe Sunday, Joe's Last, and Catechu. He was the double grandsire of Leo.〔Close and Simmons ''Legends: Outstanding Quarter Horse Stallions and Mares'' p. 148〕 Joe Reed P-3 sired six horses that earned a Race Register of Merit. Many of his daughters became the dams of Race Register of Merit earners. His son Joe Reed II was the Champion Quarter Running Stallion for 1942–1943.〔Wagoner ''Quarter Racing Digest'' p. 556〕 His grandson Jose Uno was inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association (or NCHA) Hall of Fame.〔(NCHA Hall of Fame ) retrieved on July 4, 2007〕 More distant descendants include Zippo Pat Bars, Colonel Freckles, Goetta, Peppy San, Rugged Lark, Sonny Dee Bar, The Invester, and Zippo Pine Bar – all members of the AQHA Hall of Fame.〔(AQHA Hall of Fame )〕 Joe Reed was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joe Reed (horse)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
