With the upcoming Western Bloodstock sales at the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity and NCHA Futurity right around the corner, do you find yourself looking for your next prospect?
What’s on your checklist—and how do you narrow down your options?
Of course, conformation, movement, athleticism and overall presence matter. But how deep do you go beyond what you see standing in front of you?
Do you study the Black Type?
Do you look at the sire’s earnings and offspring record?
Do you study the dam’s produce record and progeny earnings?
And have you ever gone one step further and looked at a sire’s AVERAGE EARNINGS PER MONEY-EARNER?
That’s where the numbers can really start to tell a story.
METALLIC REBEL is not only a $21 MILLION SIRE—his averages are impressive.
Across all disciplines, Rebel’s offspring average over $43,000 per money-earner.
But take a closer look at the cutting pen…
METALLIC REBEL’S CUTTING OFFSPRING AVERAGE MORE THAN $54,500 PER MONEY-EARNER.
These numbers are worth paying attention to.
It’s one thing for a sire to have a handful of standout performers drive his lifetime earnings. It’s another to see that kind of average across his money-earning offspring.
And Rebel isn’t limited to one arena.
CUTTING. COW HORSE. ROPING.
His offspring continue to earn money and win championships across the board.
So when you’re flipping through those sale catalogs and studying pedigrees, don’t stop at the big number at the top of the page.
Look at the Black Type.
Look at the sire’s record.
Look at the dam’s produce record.
Look at the progeny earnings.
And look at the AVERAGES.
Because when you’re searching for your next champion, the details behind the pedigree matter.
So what bloodlines are YOU looking at for your next champion?
