🌟 Smart Duallin Cat 🌟
We’re thrilled to offer this stunning c**t in Saturday’s (November 1, 2025) 817 Horse Sales! (Link below) It’s been such a joy watching Smooch grow and develop into the exceptional young horse he is today.
His dam, Reyvelation (“Lipps”), is one of the true stars of our program — you’ll find her in the cutting group during the week, working with the Ranch Team and IHSA practices in the evenings, and showing on the weekends. There’s truly nothing she can’t do!
A heartfelt thank-you to Fred Davidorf for his continued support of our program. His generosity has provided our students with incredible opportunities to learn from and work with outstanding horses like these.
We can’t wait to see where Smooch’s journey takes him next! 💋
