Overview
The Big Gun is a World Champion, a Reserve World Champion, a multiple Derby champion, a class champion, a money earner and a point earner. Out of over 300 Gunner foals, there are only a handful of Tobiano sons of Gunner. The Big Gun is the ONLY Gunner foal who is a breeding Bay Tobiano Stallion by Gunner and the only one with his titles, accomplishments and heritage.
The Big Gun's Sire is NRHA Hall of Fame inductee Colonels Smokingun (Gunner). He is a USET Gold Medalist, USEF Champion, NRHA Futurity Res. Champion and a World Champion Reining Sire. He is also the highest earning Paint in NRHA history. The Big Gun's Dam, Cactus Christy, is a multiple APHA World Champion and the dam of three NRHA Open Futurity Finalists.
Many of The Big Gun's offspring are of show age & they are doing fantastic. Many of his offspring have NRHA competition licenses and are money earners. His offspring have numerous World Show titles in reining and working cowhorse including Top 5's Top 10's and Reserve World Champion. They are great in the show pen and they can also halter - several have Grand and Res Grand Championships. His offspring are beautiful and great minded - they are selling out. Breeding to him is a real opportunity to start your program with the best bloodlines. But we want you to breed your mares - discounts to proven, homozygous and/or multiple mares.
