This team proved to be tough to beat at the 1989 World Championships. The heading horse was Minidoka Doubleup, a son of Apache Double and half brother to Apache Dancing. "Uppy" was an outstanding heading horse that won a World Title that year in team roping. He was owned at the time by Margie Berndt of Sioux City, Iowa. Uppy stood in Iowa for a couple of years and was used a roping horse at all levels of competition.
The heeling horse was a Diamond daughter and half sister to The Diamond Bar that I owned, Ginger's Diamond. "Diamer" was only four in this picture, but she was doing everything right. She took home a reserve World Title in the team roping tournament that year. Unfortunately, a month after her return from the World Show, she suffered a life-ending injury. To see more of her pictures, go to Diamond's page.
