San Tari’s Dual Oak is a buckskin Quarter Horse Mare born in 2000 and affectionately known as ‘Farrah’. Her sire is ‘Dual Banditos Gold’ and she is out of an own daughter of Peppy San called ‘San Tari Sis’.
Farrah was first started and trained by Keith Smith of Circle 7 Quarter Horses. She began her cutting horse career with the help of Ken Hartley and was first shown by Ken in the BCRCHA.

2005 Amanda Smith and Farrah won the BCCHA 3000 Novice Horse Non Pro Championship

Farrah joined the Wurtz family in 2015. She was gifted to the Wurtz’ by Ken and June Hartley to continue showing and have the opportunity to be loved and cared for by 2 little girls, Charli and Greta Wurtz. For a few years, Farrah was shown by Sheryl Wurtz.

⭐️2019, Greta and Farrah won the ICHA Youth Championship
⭐️2019, Greta and Farrah won the BCCHA Youth Championship

In 2020, it would be Charli Wurtz’ turn to have the honor to show Farrah and was on her way to another Youth Championship but COVID prevented the completion of the show season and awards.

The decision was made to retire Farrah from the show pen that year and let her have fun with a new gig on the ranch. However, in 2021 when Greta’s cutting horse was injured, Farrah was brought back to finish the second half of the year with Greta – Greta was riding with Cody Smith and competing in both BC and Alberta to make the NCHA world finals in Ft Worth Texas. She was hauled to Cody’s barn in Alberta to avoid trips back and forth over the Rockies. Farrah delivered.

Farrah also kept Greta high up in the 2000 Limit Rider World Standings, finishing the year 12th in the world
Farrah also kept Greta high in the youth world standings, sending Greta to Youth World Finals in summer of 2022
2021, Greta and Farrah won the ACHA Novice Challenge Saddle Shootout for Greta with a 74 and a 75, not bad for a 21 year old mare who’d been told she was retired.

Farrah is now living the life of luxury with the Wurtz’. She trail rides and grazes grass all day long! Ken Hartley still has the honor of riding her when the Wurtz’ take cattle to range…….they are honorary trail bosses!

Championship winners on Farrah to date are:
Keith Smith, Cody Smith, Amanda Smith, Ken Hartley, June Hartley, Madi Mills, Logan McCulloch, Bob Zirnhelt, Sheryl Wurtz and Greta Wurtz.
