Nation­al Rein­ing Horse Asso­ci­a­tion (NRHA) Hall of Famer and Three Mil­lion Dol­lar Sire Nu Chex To Cash has died, his own­ers announced on social media on Sat­ur­day evening.
The palomi­no stal­lion was 30.
“Today we say good­bye to an old friend,” said Hill­dale Farm, which had owned him for 25 years, from its Face­book account. “Chex as we called him was loved and part of my whole fam­i­ly. … It’s hard to write with all the tears. Heav­en gained a Great (sic) one today.”
Chex leaves behind a lega­cy in stone as a sig­nif­i­cant play­er in the his­to­ry of the NRHA.
Chex was by Nu Cash and out of Amar­il­la Chex (by Bueno Chex).  Bred by Mar­garet Drown, of San­ta Ysabel, Cal­i­for­nia, the stal­lion had much suc­cess in the show pen from 1993 to 2002, with an Equi-Stat record of more than $65,000.
In 2002, Chex and Jes­sic­ah Keller won World Cham­pi­onships in the Inter­me­di­ate and Lim­it­ed Open. He was also Non-Pro and Inter­me­di­ate Non-Pro Reserve World Cham­pi­on. 
Dur­ing the same year, Chex emerged as a major sire for Hill­dale Farm. His son, Wimpys Lit­tle Step, won the All-Amer­i­can Quar­ter Horse Con­gress Futu­ri­ty Open and NRHA Futu­ri­ty Open under the guid­ance of NRHA Six Mil­lion Dol­lar Rid­er Shawn Flar­i­da.
In addi­tion to Wimpy, Chex sired Lil Joe Cash (out of RS Lil­ly Starlight), a win­ner of more than $290,000 as a per­former, accord­ing to Equi-Stat, the 2011 NRHA Futu­ri­ty Open Champ. Anoth­er son, Big Chex To Cash (out of Snip O Gun), was the Reserve NRHA Futu­ri­ty Cham­pi­on in 2005 and Reserve at the NRHA Der­by two years lat­er on the way to almost $220,000 in life­time earn­ings.
Two of the sons have gone on to lucra­tive careers of their own as sires.
The most recent NRHA Mil­lion Sire of the boys was Big Chex To Cash. The star is Wimpy, an NRHA $11 Mil­lion Sire, and father to 18 NRHA Open and Non-Pro Futu­ri­ty Cham­pi­ons and six NRHA Open Der­by Cham­pi­ons.
In all, Chex sired 276 per­form­ers for an Equi-Stat record of $3.6 mil­lion for an aver­age of $13,334.
