RS Chisum (Imp) was purchased at the 2007 NCHA Futurity sale in Fort Worth Texas, USA.
We made the trip hoping to purchase a stallion to breed to our mares which had a lot of old ASH Reality breeding in them.
We were looking for a QH that looked like a stockhorse, with big feet, good legs and good temperament, and we liked red roan too. We found Chisum who was a tall lanky yearling and set about to buy him.
His sire, Hes A Peptospoonful had his first foal crop showing at that year’s Futurity, and they were crowd favorites and fantastic athletes, and his mother was a Dual Rey mare whose progeny were also excelling, so we purchased Chisum with confidence.
When he got to Australia, he came home to our cattle property in CQ, and Kim and son Mitchell broke him in as a 2-year-old. He went mustering for 6 months before embarking on his futurity year at cutting. He was a good horse in the bush and mustering never phased him.
He had exceptional ability at cutting but had limited showing due to injury.

The first foal crop had 10 progeny born from frozen semen, and produced Koonamara Spoonfula Badge, and Chisums Mary Kate, both great talents in their Futurity year. Since then, his strike rate at shows and challenges with his progeny is exceptional.
He produces versatile progeny, including exceptional cutting, challenge and campdraft prospects. His progeny have won at the highest levels, including NCHA Open Derby, Victorian Open Derby, Toowoomba and Victorian Futurity Open, NCHA Snafflebit co-championship, Cloncurry C&C Restricted Open, back-to-back Australian Stockmans Hall of Fame Restricted Open’s, Burke & Wills Open, Paradise Lagoons Open, Paradise Lagoons Champion of Champions, Warwick Ladies Silver Cup reserve championship, Warwick Gold Cup finalist, Paradise Lagoons Challenge reserve championship, Landmark Classic Australian Performance Horse Challenge, Cotton Country Cutting Club Derby, Victorian Futurity, Horse of the North Classic Challenge, Cloncurry Open Challenge, Victorian Futurity Non Pro Futurity, Horse of the North Memorial Challenge. As well as a long list of wins, finals and places in events nationwide.
His progeny are sought after at sales nationwide and include sale toppers.
He lives and stands at Hawkins Equine Breeding Centre at Tamworth every year.
He is well established as a versatile sire for versatile foals with exceptional ability and “cow” from the stock camp to the show ring.

RS Chisum had 17 progeny in the 2021 Nutrien Classic. 15 sold and 2 were passed in at $29,000 & $26,000.
1998 to 2012
Stacie and David McDavid purchased Hes A Peptospoonful from Californian Dave Miller during the 2001 NCHA Futurity where winning performances under trainer Brad Vaughn made him the first horse in 30 years to claim both go-rounds and the semi-finals with 221.5, 223 and 221.5 scores.
“Spoonful” sired a total of 204 foals which earned combined $3,547,169 at the time of his death, including four performers each of which earned more than $200,000, and seven who earned $100,000 or more.
His untimely death at just 14 years of age robbed the industry of a champion sire.
Peptoboonsmal is a legend in the cutting industry. Foaled in 1992, he was bred by Larry Hall, Weatherford, Texas. Under Gary Bellenfant’s saddle, he won $180,487 in US NCHA money as a 3 and 4 yo, highlighted by the 1995 National Cutting Horse Association Futurity Open Championship.
He has been a top cutting sire every year since his first foal crop.
Premier cutting horse and cutting horse sire, legendary in his own time.
