Shiner's sire is Freckles Shining Ace, our home-raised stallion by Shiners Ace who is an own son of Shining Spark. Shining Spark was the NRCHAs youngest Million Dollar Sire, who reached million dollar status in 2004. He made headlines when he won the AQHA Junior Reining World Championship in 1993 and the NRHA Open Derby Championship in 1994.
Freckles Shining Ace is smart as a whip, gentle, and built as a quarter horse should be and his brains, talent, and gentleness are stamped on all of his foals. Ace's offspring are currently performing in ranch work, break-away, barrels, cutting, reining, poles, heading, and healing.
Shiner's dam is Playguns Lil Olena (Lil), who qualified for AQHA world in ranch sorting in 2010 and earned 11.5 AQHA points. Lil is a little mare who measures just barely 13.3.
Shiner should mature around 14-14.2 hands and is incredibly athletic. He would make a great show prospect and/or stud prospect.
