Our “Theo,” is a grandson of this great horse.
CATS MOONSHINE 2001 - 2022
With a heavy heart, I announce that Cats Moonshine died today. Collection day, I promise you he died happy. Two mare owners are getting a very special shipment by him. He passed very peacefully and gracefully even.
There is nothing more natural in life, than death. It is really hard though and my heart goes out to Logan Alley of Sandance Equine and his family for this loss. Cats Moonshine was and is a great horse. This was his best breeding season in many years. Logan is an innovator and quite brilliant brining new was to meet an ever growing market of mare owners wanting quality and options. Cats Moonshine was proudly part of the Legendary Breeders roster and will continue to be so with his frozen semen. Very smart to have stock piled this inventory for future use.
This beautiful High Brow Cat son is one of the best minded studs we have ever had here. I said he was beautiful and that is certianly the truth. He bred a diverse group of mares the past two seasons, I look forward to seeing his progeny in the years to come to carry on his legacy.
He was branded with the legendary J/H brand from the Holmes Cutting Horses and Double Dove of Ms. Gail Holmes. Earning $150,252 life time, finished 4T at the NCHA Open Futurity with the legend himself, Mr. Lloyd Cox.
Cats Moonshine sired 490 AQHA foals as of today. $1.8M in get earnings in cutting, cow horse, reining, barrel, sorting, penning, roping and ranch versatility. Proof that he is a sire and a quality one at that, averaging $12,600 per money earner.
He will be missed. A gentle soul. I walk through the barn at nights, he always greeted me with a kind eye and sweet presence.
May he rest in peace.
Life continues, business goes on. Mare owners will have frozen semen access and or stallions in the Legendary Breeders roster.
If we can do anything, we are here to serve.
Thank you,
