Past President Billy Allen Passes
Billy G. Allen passed away Saturday August 19th at home in Phoenix, AZ at the age of 84.
He was born Dec 8, 1935 in Clayton, NM. His family later moved to Boise City, OK where he was raised on a farm and cattle ranch. He graduated from Clayton High School in 1954.
Billys career with horses began when he was 16 breaking horses and competing in rodeos. It was at a rodeo where he met his wife Connie and they were married on February 16, 1957. After living in New Mexico for a few years they moved to Scott City, KS in 1965 to set up a full time horse training operation and purchased Sunnyslope Horse Farm where they resided until 2019.
Billy specialized in roping and working cowhorse but competed at the highest levels in halter and reining as well earning 11 AQHA world championships and countless AQHA Honor Roll Awards. He was responsible for winners such as Zan Parr Bar, Zippin Zanita, High Falutin Dude, Zan Gold Jack, Mr Jack Prince, Jack Fiddler and Zans Pretty Penny. He also bred many winners standing his stallion Zan Gold Jack.
In 1979 Billy and Connie started Billy Allen Products manufacturing their own custom formulation horse feed. Billy ran the mill until selling it in the summer of 2019. He also designed the Billy Allen reining bit which can be found in almost every major bit manufacturers product line today.
Billy was active in many organizations. He served as president of KQHA and active on the board of directors for many years. He was a member of the AQHA judges committee and a long time AQHA judge who officiated at shows such as the Congress and AQHA World show. For his contributions to the industry he was inducted into the KQHA Hall of Fame in 2005 and the AQHA Hall of Fame in 2019.
