Meet Star - our 2026 roan filly. This girl really is a miracle as no one expected her to make it. Our ranch crew work 24 hours around the clock on rotating shifts for weeks giving her the care she needed to make a full recovery.

Because of their dedication, Star is here today and has been given a clean bill of health.

OFFICIALLY RETIRED

SMART LOIS "JIM"

By Smart Chic Olena • Out of Lois Montana

2007 AQHA Stallion

Today, we celebrate the remarkable career of Smart Lois "Jim."

Every great horse reaches the day when he has earned the right to simply be a horse. Today, that day belongs to Jim.

After an incredible 16-year NRHA career, we've made the decision to officially retire Jim from competition.

Few horses have the opportunity to enjoy a long, successful career and retire with their health, dignity, and the admiration of so many. Jim is one of the fortunate ones.

Throughout his career, Jim accomplished more than we could have ever imagined:

🏆 NRHA Lifetime Earnings: $32,020.05

🏆 Ranked #42 All-Time NRHA Money Earner by the legendary Smart Chic Olena

🏆 Competed at many of reining's premier events, including the NRHA Futurity, NRHA Derby, National Reining Breeders Classic (NRBC), and the All American Quarter Horse Congress, along with numerous affiliate championships, futurities, derbies, and maturities.

🏆 Successfully shown by professionals, non-pros, and amateur riders throughout his remarkable career.

While we're incredibly proud of everything Jim accomplished in the show pen, that isn't what we'll remember most.

We'll remember his heart, his honesty, and his willingness to give everything he had, every single time. He helped shape riders, created memories, and represented everything we admire in a great horse.

Jim has earned every day of the retirement that lies ahead, and we're grateful to have been part of his journey.

Congratulations on an incredible career, Jim.

Enjoy retirement. ❤️

Meet Cold Revenge "Ricky."

Our 2024 stallion by SG Frozen Enterprize × Acrimony.

We believe great horses aren't rushed—they're developed. Every ride is another step toward building confidence, softness, willingness, and the foundation for a successful career.

We're proud of the progress Ricky is making.
