Life

Zippo Pat Bars was a son of the Thoroughbred stallion Three Bars out of a daughter of Leo named Leo Pat. He was a 1964 sorrel stallion bred by Paul Curtner. As a weanling, Curtner was offered $20,000.00 for the colt, which he turned down.

Zippo Pat Bars raced for two years, starting eighteen times. He won five races and placed second four times. He earned a Race Register of Merit with the American Quarter Horse Association (or AQHA) in 1966 with an AAA speed rating. He earned $1855.00 on the racetrack. He injured himself as a two-year-old, fracturing two vertebrae in a stall accident. The injury kept the horse out of the 1966 All American Futurity.

After the end of Zippo Pat Bars's racing career, he retired to the breeding shed. He sired, among others, Zippo Pine Bar, Scarborough Fair, The Invester, and Mr Pondie Zip. His sons Zippo Pine Bar and The Invester were inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame as well as the National Snaffle Bit Association (or NSBA) Hall of Fame. Zippo Pat Bars sired nine AQHA Champions, as well as sixteen Superior Western Pleasure Horses and four Superior Halter Horses. In 1996, Zippo Pat Bars was inducted into the NSBA Hall of Fame.

Zippo Pat Bars died May 1, 1988 due to heart problems. He was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame in 2002.
