Inside the String: Meet Blane Cox’s Rope Horses

5m 33s
Meet “Fill The Thrill,” known around the barn as “Thriller.” Bred for talent and grit, Thriller is by The Boon out of Twice The Thrill, and Blane co-owns him with Sweet Ranch after purchasing him from Jackie Crawford. Blane credits Jackie for Thriller’s solid foundation—his score, stop, and run all reflect the time and training she put into him.
Though quirky and full of personality, Thriller’s incredible memory, feel, and athletic ability have made him one of Blane’s favorites. He’s currently coming back from an injury, but his consistent scoring and powerful stops prove why Blane believes this horse could be something special. As Blane says, “He’s made me a better horseman.”
