Peptoboonsmal - Legendary Sire
In 1992, a red roan Quarter Horse was born that would forever leave his mark on the world of cutting horses. Peptoboonsmal (Peppy San Badger x Royal Blue Boon) was bred by original owner, Larry Hall Cutting Horses. With Gary Bellenfant in the saddle, he won over $180,000 in National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) competition as a 3 and 4-year-old, and was the 1995 NCHA Futurity Open Champion.
While Peptoboonsmal had skill in the arena, he’s proven to be an even more talented sire. His first foal crop came of show age in 2001, and he’s been a top cutting horse sire ever since - confirming that he’s passing down much more than just his eye-catching color! Now owned by Aaron Ranch, Peptoboonsmal’s offspring have earned over $26 million dollars in competition as of 2019. Their overwhelming success has forever cemented Peptoboonsmal’s place amongst the all-time top cutting and reined cow horse sires.
