Temperament & Management
The Pro
Not flashy, not dramatic - just shows up, does the job, and goes back to the barn. Reliable in ways that take years to fully appreciate. The kind of horse that makes every day manageable and keeps ambitious goals feeling achievable.
About this horse
$40,000 USD Disciplines: Champion Pedigree, Cowhorse, Cutting, Ranch Versatility, Reining-Cowhorse-Cutting, Show Experience, Stallion-Stud-Breeding, Team Roping, Team Sorting, Tobiano *Registered 4yr old APHA, PtHA, ATOA *Bay Tobiano (looks just like his daddy), *14.2HH *6 panel disease negative *Color panel E/e A/A TO/n *Professional training/experience in cutting scoring nicely at his 1st and only outing in late 2025 *Professional training/experience in trail (both in arena & outside on the ranch), roping (he REALLY likes roping) & gathering cattle. *Professionally trained to phantom collect with excellent semen quality. We have decided to retain all frozen semen for our own mares in 2026. *Has not live bred as we held back while he is preparing for his show career. *Healthy, sound, & well maintained (dental, chiropractic etc) & we've had no need for injections, supplements, shoes etc. He lives on hay & a mineral block with grain only when in full work. *Started in Washington state by professional cutting horse trainer. We purchased him in late 2024 as a 2 yr old & sent him to our trainer here in the western Nebraska Sandhills for all 2025 who has made him a solid, well rounded young citizen who we plan to show in 2026 at various Ranch Horse events. *Easy to haul, hobbles, has had a couple rides with his amateur owner & was a gentleman. *With his breeding, athleticism, intelligence & training, he could go in any direction while passing along those legendary classic cutting/reining bloodlines up close on his baby’s papers - a perfect cross on those modern day bred mares. *Per APHA website, he is 1 of the very last 2 stud sons of Color Me Smart (both born in 2022) with only 4 other registered stud sons under 10 yrs old listed as currently registered. *Personal change in program is reason for his sale. Vet checks welcome at buyers expense. He is currently back with our trainer & will start showing in April if not sold.
