HIGHLIGHTCAT is a 2001 son of the legendary HIGH BROW CAT, the #1 all-time leading cutting horse sire whose get have taken to the bank over $41 million. HIGHLIGHTCAT changed hands in 2010 for $340,00, which would have been a lot of money back then! He had a consistent show record in both the open and non-pro divisions as noted below. BEAU GALYEAN also piloted his paternal ½ brother METALLIC CAT through his illustrious career and retained 10 breedings to HIGHLIGHTCAT. His progeny have excelled in cutting, cowhorse, reining, timed events in the States. Beau also rode HIGHLIGHTCAT to his 2004 NCHA Futurity Non-Pro Reserve Championship. You have to think he knows a good horse when he rides one! And as if the top side of the pedigree wasn't enough, the bottom side boasts the great GRAYS STARLIGHT, the multi-million dollar producing sire of NCHA, NRCHA and NRHA money-earners.

She has won and placed in Challenges, Cut Outs and Drafts, and isa big strong sound mare with a lot of future left yet. Her dam Shania Spin placed 3rd in the Cloncurry Stockmans Challenge, then went on to win and place in many drafts. Once we realised the super mare power in Shania, we started breeding her. Her 1st foal was our great stallion Spins Red Duck, who sold well aged 13yo in the Nutrien Birthday Bonanza Sale this year. We also sold her beautiful Acre Maker filly Stellar Acres at the same sale. We have retained the 4 SHERIFF siblings; Shiners Gift, MIss N Shine, Shiners Faith and the stallion Spark N Spinifex, who is a dead ringer for his sire. Sheriff was a phenonemol sire, who died from post colic surgery complications in 2017. We have retained 21 females and2 studs by Sheriff. The influence of Shining Spark and Diamonds Sparkles through our heavily Docs Spinifex infused mare team has now given us the most amazing pedigree platform to breed with using modern sires of influence. Sheriff was a great competitor, he just did everything so easy. Sometimes you even though he wasn't trying, but he rarely lost cow or missed a manoeuvre. He required no warm ups, and never was there any attitude. Just gave you 100% every time. He ran some impressive dry works Challenging, and the was proving to be a tough Campdrafter as he matured. His foals are something special, hard to explain until you've owned one! His sire Shining Spark and his double cross of Diamonds Sparkle have given us access to genetics that will breed on forever. They are both in about the top 10 most influential horses in the QH world. Adriatic a flat traveller, and will make an awesome Challenge and Campdraft prospect, and will bea tough comeback contender for the Classic and Challenges at Nutrien, with 3 chances! He would barely have 45 rides on him by Sale Day. He is beautifully natured, a lovely colour, very trainable, and should easily mature 15Hh. Pleasecall us or Matt for any more information required.
