So, I got sidetracked with some new Paints. I had been kicking around ideas for a couple new Paints and finally put their pedigrees in place, and we are quite thrilled to be able to add the mare to our collection and herd!
ROYAL BLUE ROULETTE
1997 bay roan overo (frame) Paint stallion.
Sire: Roulette's Hit Man {r} [Far Ute Roulette -x- Roxie Flash AQHA]
Dam: Royal Blue Dually AQHA {r} [Dual Pep -x- Royal Blue Boon]
A great reining/cow-horse pedigree with lovely color. Sire is an APHA Champion, was an APHA World Champion in Senior Reining and was an APHA Reserve World Champion in Working Cow Horse and Freestyle Reining. Dam is a NCHA money-earner ($84,418) and has produced foals who have lifetime earnings of $370,492+. Stone OF Design-A-Horse ISH

I am especially pleased to finally be able to offer this guy in my herd, his color was my request but his pattern was the artist's choice. His pedigree took a few interesting "turns" but I hope that reining/cutting breeders will appreciate it, I am pleased to introduce this fine stallion:
HIT MAN’S HOLIDAY
2001 bay roan overo (sabino + minimal frame) Paint stallion.
Sire: Royal Blue Roulette [Roulette’s Hit Man {r} -x- Royal Blue Dually AQHA {r}]
Dam: Miss Chic Holiday APHA/AQHA {r} [Smart Chic Olena -x- Miss Poco Holiday]
Top cow-horse breeding, eventually all tracing to AQHA horses so theoretically Hit Man’s Holiday is eligible to sire “Quarter Horse” foals. Stone ISH CM by Chris Jolly
