The Cudd Quarter Horses 38th annual sale is set for June 8 at the ranch in Woodward, Okla., and a special horse sold will benefit the Sooner State-based 501(c)(3) Rein in Cancer. Once again, Alice Goldseeker, a sorrel yearling mare by Bay John Goldseeker (King W Goldseeker x Jazzabell Jazz) out of Alices Cat (Cat Ichi x Squirrel Tooth Alice), will sell as lot #24 and, thanks to the generosity of Renee Jane Cudd, the proceed of her sale will go to benefit Rein in Cancer.
Rein in Cancer co-founder Shorty Koger expressed gratitude, saying, “We deeply appreciate Renee Cudd’s support of Rein in Cancer. The funds we provide are crucial for those facing the many challenges of cancer treatment.”
Cheryl Cody, President of Rein in Cancer, emphasized the importance of community support: “Support for Rein in Cancer means so much. The funds are allocated in two key ways: first, to sustain the Shirley Bowman Nutrition Center, which offers care to cancer patients regardless of their financial situation; and second, to provide direct financial assistance to individuals in the horse industry undergoing cancer treatment. Cancer affects everyone, whether personally or through loved ones, making this cause incredibly important. We are extremely grateful to Renee for her support.”
Cudd Quarter Horses was begun in 1985 by Renee Jane Cudd and her late husband, Bobby Joe Cudd. The ranch has been a leading breeder of AQHA Ranch and Roping horses for over 30 years, and the annual Production Sale is always a popular event. Renee noted, “Bobby Joe passed away in 2005, and I feel so lucky that I have been able to continue with it.”
