High Brow Cat (High Brow Hickory x Smart Little Kitty x Smart Peppy) earned $110,800 in his NCHA and is the NCHA’s No. 1 leading cutting sire and has sired eight NCHA Futurity champions. The 1988 chestnut Quarter Horse stallion, owned by BDB Breeders, now has offspring in many Western performance events, from cutting to cow horse and roping.

“Three years ago, at the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity®, we began working with the top cow horse trainers to have their customers breed their top mares to High Brow Cat,” shared Darren Blanton, owner of High Brow Cat. “Obviously, it worked! We’re doing the same thing in the roping industry, and High Brow Cat is the #2 stallion in that industry. We expect High Brow Cat to be the first stallion to hit one million dollars in offspring earnings.”

That incredible prowess is easily recognizable in the reined cow horse pen. His top three NRCHA earners include:

• SJR Hitime Shine (out of Shiners Little Oak); 2020 gelding; NRCHA LTE $135,381.19
• Solano Cat (out of Smartest Solano); 2005 stallion; NRCHA LTE $108,901.14
• Billys Cool Cat (out of NQH Lucy Lena); 2003 gelding; NRCHA LTE $101,360.23

“It’s always exciting to welcome new stallions to our Million Dollar Sires roster,” shared NRCHA Executive Director Emily Konkel. “One Time Royalty and High Brow Cat will continue to pass on their legacies to cow horses for years to come.”
