Sannman a performance horse like no other. He has exceptional ability, yet his major attribute as a sire is his impeccable genetics. Being by Metallic Cat is exciting, but his mother is as special as they come.
The Smart Look is a Smart Little Lene mare who has a maternal record equal to none. She is the #3 All-Time Leading Producer, and she is the dam of 3 Triple Crown Event Champions (Futurity, Super Stakes & Summer Spectacular), all with different sires. Like his mother, Sannman has the ability to breed successfully to mares of different bloodlines, making him an outstanding sire.
Sannman is also a ¾ brother to WR This Cats Smart and a ½ brother to Dual Smart Rey, two of this generation’s most successful sires. His pedigree is just full of talented show horses.
Sannman has proven everything he needs to in the cutting pen, with over $200,000 in earnings and a reputation as a dynamic show horse who was competitive at the highest level.
His progeny have proven themselves to live up to their world-class genetics, from his earliest offspring, which include 8 money earners at the 2021 US NCHA Futurity, to Australian champions across disciplines. His progenies accomplished wins include:
DDCC Open Futurity, NCHA Open Limited Derby, NCHA Open Derby reserve championship, NCHA Snafflebit Co-championship, Rocky Rush Futurity Campdraft. As well as a long list of wins, places and finalists across cowhorse, cutting and campdraft events nationwide.
