"DT Hickory Blu Steel is the only way to access these genetics from the maternal side," Melanie Smith, Solo Select founder, said. "Her performance in the arena is unmatched, and her versatility has shown what these horses are capable of on either end. She's one of a kind, so of course we wanted to offer her embryos to our customers at Solo."
The blue roan mare has been in training with some of the best hands in the rope horse business, shown by the likes of Brad Lund and JoJo LeMond. DT Hickory Blu Steel has won in every format, too, from AQHA and ARHFA competition to high-stakes jackpots like the Riata. Along the way, she's acquired 131.5 performance points in the AQHA.
"This mare has so much try," Lund said. "She's gritty tough, and she's been fire-tested. She's been adaptable, and she's been willing in every situation."
She finished her futurity campaign as the Gold Buckle Futurities Fall Event Super Horse, a title previously held by Solo Select stallion, Time To Glo.
The mare power that comes with DT Hickorys Blu Steel doesn't just stop at DT Sugar Chex Whiz. Her maternal grand-dam, Kings Snazzy Sugar, is by NFR barrel stallion Fols Classy Snazzy, who was piloted at the 2000 Finals by World Champion Marlene McRae.
