For the Harrison Ranch, the Gonzales crew also raised a gray stud named ๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐จ๐ ๐ฎ by halter horse Skipa Star out of a King/Old Sorrel mare that became the 1983 AQHA High Point Jr. Heel Horse. Gonzales Jr. won team roping jackpots on him as a 4-year-old.

Philipp wasnโt as enamored of that line, but said he sold one to Marc Stureman that Gary Poythress won Salinas on. Skipastarsky threw big hips and pretty heads on his offspring; his dam, King Moores Dora, was said to be a tough ranch mare with a big heart. Two of Skipastarskyโs offspring were Bryan Fieldsโ Ima Star O Lena, the 2003 PRCA Steer Wrestling Horse of the Year, and One Black Starsky, the super-stout 2000 NIRA Steer Wrestling Horse of the Year that kick-started the career of Hall of Famer Luke Branquinho.
The Harrison Ranchโs goal for decades was to breed for versatility, and one of their most magic crosses resulted from a Les Glo mare on Colonel Freckles.

Bob McClelland rode the Harrison-raised Skipa Red Glo at the 1991โ92 NFRs in team roping. George Strait reportedly bought a couple Harrison horses over the years. In fact, about 23 years ago at one George Strait Team Roping Classic, three horses off of the Harrison Ranch placed in the average, according to Jesse Jr.โs son-in-law Jeff Cook. They were so good-minded that 14-time NFR heeler Monty Joe Petska could visit Fulshear, climb on a c**t with just days of riding and beat everybody in an informal donkey roping.
