Performance Comments

Cats R Double is undoubtably THE BEST GELDING Rhondhu Stud has have EVER offered for sale. Every single foal out of Double Spin (now deceased) is an absolute corker.

It’s not very often you breed a horse that could as easily be trained out as a cutter, campdrafter, challenger, cowhorse or as a reiner. Cats R Double is that horse!

He’s just turned 2yo and he’s not been rushed; he’s just a naturally super talented gelding, making moves & decisions at every ride months in lead of his training.

This fella is PROPER quiet, very trainable, beautiful to ride in every respect, and your best mate. Cow smart in the cut-out yard or outside, and dry work savvy.

Full brother Rhondhu Cats Double High sold at Nutrien 2021 and has impressed Lois Cameron to no end, and will attract a good book of mares once campaigned. ½ brother Rhondhu Spins Purple Cat is in this Sale as Lot 128, and whoever buys him will need some glue! ½ brother Rhondhu Cracker Spark is a great gelding who missed all his aged competitions due to Covid. His ½ brother Rhondhu Double Spark was an outstanding palomino colt shown by Ken May. His ½ sister by Seligman Spin is ready to break in next month, and she’s priceless to us.

Cats R Double is still a baby, just 2yo six weeks ago, and definitely has not had a bunch of training or pressure put on him yet. He’s just a freak for his age, and even after missing 2 weeks riding in January due to a bump on his hind leg, he still feels amazing! Feel free to ask us about his leg, it has been X-Rayed on 25/1/22. He is currently back in work this week, is not on any medications or pain relief, and is riding sound.

Highlightcat* is not very well known in Australia, but DO read his notes on the other poster. We have about 6 awesome fillies by him aged yearling—3yo, and they are all keepers, we love them.

Double is a really nicely started, well bred, corker of a 2yo gelding that will make an awesome competition horse in ANY cattle working or performance horse sport with some more work. Matt would love to campaign him for the successful purchaser.

Dam's Performance Info: Double Spin, won & placed in many Challenges and Drafts, and was an awesome yard mare. She had a run of extremely good embryo colt & gelding foals, proving her broodmare worth. Her final foal was her only filly born, a natural foal conceived just 2 weeks after this gelding, poddied at Double’s untimely death. She was a freak, gave you 110% every time, and a quirky nature to boot. She was embryo'd 5 times for 5 good colts/geldings by Shining Sheriff x 2, Ima Smooth Blue Cat x 1 and Highlightcat x 2. She was bred once naturally for a filly by Seligman Spin that money will never buy. Double died when this last filly was just a few days old. Of the 2 Sheriff male foals, one colt was shown to many wins in challenges by Ken May - Rhondhu Double Spark, and the other gelding Rhondhu Cracker Spark, was due to be challenged as a gelding in 2019 when Covid cancelled all events. The same happened to the ISBC cutting gelding Rhondhu Purple Spin. He was an absolute athlete on a cow, and never got to compete in the NCHA Futurity in 2019 due to Covid also. Rhondhu Double High was sold at Nutrien 2021 as a 2yo colt, and his owner Lois Cameron recently rang and said he's the nicest horses she's ever bought! SO cow smart, beautiful traveller in the bush, quiet and feely - she just LOVES him! He was very special as a breaker and no doubt will be shown in due course. This Nutrien 2022 entry, Rhondhu Cats R Double is a full brother to Rhondhu Double High, and without a doubt he will have a top performance future as well, he is a special gelding for sure! He's every bit as nice as High, if not better.
