A Pedigree Built for Success
Rocky Mountain Blues carries the bloodlines of some of the greatest cutting horses in history.
His sire, Smooth As A Cat, is one of the most influential sires in cutting, with offspring earnings exceeding $38 million. A legend in his own right, Smooth As A Cat earned $501,874 in competition and was named NCHA Horse of the Year. His offspring include NCHA World Champions, Hall of Fame inductees, and top performers across the industry.
Rocky’s dam, Diva In Denim, is by the legendary Smart Little Lena and has produced over $552,000 in earners. His second dam is the iconic Autumn Boon, whose influence on the cutting horse industry is immeasurable. As the dam of Once In A Blu Boon and numerous other champions with over $2 million in earnings, her bloodline continues to shape the future of the sport.
An Untapped Opportunity
"This horse sells with a full suite of marketing assets, including a well-established website, a Facebook audience of over 10,000, and unlimited potential," said sale owner Melanie Smith. "For a buyer, this is a rare opportunity to elevate their program to the next level."
Despite his impressive resume, Rocky has not been promoted to his full potential due to his current owner's health circumstances. This presents a rare opportunity for a buyer to capitalize on his exceptional genetics and proven ability, whether as a continued show horse or a future leading sire.
With the right vision and strategy, Rocky Mountain Blues has the potential to become an elite stallion and a valuable long-term investment.
