Waco Bend Ranch, owned by the Louis Baldwin family of Fort Worth, purchased Iced Out from Freeman and Manion for $175,000 as a yearling, during the 2007 NCHA Futurity Sales. Rapp also rode the mare as a finalist in the recent El Rancho Futurity.

Wise Little Miss and Jason Clark claimed the championship of the Brazos Bash Classic with 221.5 points for Toni and Gary Oliver.
