17 Ranch Reference Stallions

17 Ranch is proud to announce our new stallion, Bob’s Golden Acre.

We are very meticulous when it comes to choosing the right stallion for each mare, as the mares have always been the base of our program.

An outstanding individual with exceptional disposition and conformation, we hope you will agree through his progeny that he proves that he is a sire not just another stallion and outproduces himself.

Disposition and trainability are a must. Conformation and the athletic abilities go hand in hand.

We are optimistic that we have found such a sire in Bob’s Golden Acre. He is an own son of a Hall of Fame horse named Bob Acre Doc, who won over $400,000 in cutting and is still #16 in the Equistat All-Time Leading Sires of Cutting as of 2011.

On the dam’s side, he goes back to Hollywood Gold (of the Four Sixes) through A Hollywood Lynx (by Doc’s Lynx x Guthrie Susan) and Leo Bingo by Leo.

      Cats Highlight’s pedigree has one of the most impressive female lines in the industry. His brothers and sisters in bloodlines have been outstanding performers and one of them was Highlight Cat, the Non Pro NCHA Futurity Reserve Champion. Cats Highlight exemplifies the exceptional, all-around versatility shown by the offspring of his sire High Brow Cat.

      Beginning as a two year old Cats Highlight was trained as a reining horse, before being shown he was taken to a different trainer and was put on a cow. He exhibited excellent grace, style, and ability. Unfortunately because of a divorce the owners then did not show him in either disciplines and put him up for sale, his show career was cut short. The 73 Ranch purchased Cats Highlight and since then Cats Highlight has been put back on cattle and has been taken to some jackpot team ropings. He won a buckle at his first jackpot in heeling.

      What Cats Highlight lacks in his show record, he makes up for as a sire. His offspring are powerful athletes with great dispositions and promising futures. Cats Highlight has the impressive tendency to out produce himself, with gorgeous foals. His first foal crop will be of performing age in 2007 and excellent to train. The future soon will become now for horses sired by this awesome stallion. Cats Highlight is regally bred on both sides of his pedigree and is poised to continue a legacy of excellence through his offspring in the performance arenas.
