"Hugh" is an absolutely gorgeous 2022 AQHA buckskin gelding that gets as many heads turned when he walks, as he gets when they speak his name. He is sired by Xtra New Pal Voodoo, an earner of over $109,000 and one of the most exciting sons of Shiners Voodoo Dr in the industry. Shiners Voodoo Dr needs little introduction, with over $85,000 in earnings himself and millions produced through his offspring. Hugh's sire line combines some of the most influential names in the modern reining horse world, including Shining Spark, Wimpys Little Step, and Smart Chic Olena blood through the Voodoo and Wimpy influence....

On the bottom side, Hugh is out of a daughter of Silks Shining Spark, a good son of the legendary Shining Spark. Few stallions have left a mark on the western performance horse industry quite like Shining Spark. With offspring earnings in the millions and influence spanning reining, ranch riding, cow horse, and roping events, he remains one of the most respected names found on AQHA papers today.

When you first meet this gelding, you will immediately see how incredibly personable he is. This guy LOVES people, he LOVES attention, and he LOVES to be pampered. This guy was purchased off the people who had him since he was a weanling, and he has never had a wrong hand on him in his life. The breeder, one owner, and now us. That is his life story. You will come to learn how incredibly rare that is in today's market. The ultimate key to this gelding: if you're looking for one that can really trot, stop scrolling.
.
Hugh has one of the biggest, floatiest ranch riding trots we've had through the barn in a long time. He naturally elevates his shoulders, covers ground effortlessly, and carries himself with the kind of presence judges love to reward. While he knows the reining maneuvers and has all the pieces, I personally think his future shines brightest in the ranch riding pen. His movement, expression, and way of traveling are exactly what today's ranch riding exhibitors are searching for.
.
At just 4 years old, this guy has already been shown in both ranch riding, ranch versatility, ranch trail, and reining. This guy has a swan-like neck in his turns around. He covers ground with presence and makes it look just about effortless. He has been exposed to real jobs outside the arena. He has pushed cattle, worked the Pro Cutter, and has enough cow sense that he isn't just another arena horse pretending to be a ranch horse. He has ridden out on the trails, down the driveway, and out in our cow pasture. He's athletic, handy, and willing to do quite literally whatever is asked of him.
.
This gelding sells FULLY VETTED with FULL SET OF X-RAYS and a BRAND NEW Vet Report of Soundness on file, coggins, certificate of veterinary inspection, vaccination, and worming record!
.
What I appreciate most about Hugh is that he's the complete package. He's not only talented, he's downright gorgeous. A rich buckskin color, attractive head, strong topline, good bone, and the kind of eye appeal that gets noticed immediately when he steps off the trailer.
.
He is soft, willing, and responsive. He side passes, works gates, moves off your legs, and handles the maneuvers with ease. The foundation is there, and the next owner can decide exactly how far they want to take him. Whether your goal is ranch riding, ranch versatility, local reining, cow horse events, trail competitions, or simply owning a young gelding with a phenomenal pedigree and a bright future, Hugh has all the ingredients to get there.
.
