This new 2-year-old is Suzie Q Lena, and she is becoming one of our favorites at the Ranch! Her energy and excitement at learning push us to want to work her more, and we can’t wait to see how fun she’ll be to break! The “Q” in her name is to inspire her to emulate her daddy – Quejanaisalena – who earned more than $330,000, earned 4th place in the NCHA Super Stakes and was the Breeders Invitational Non-Pro Derby Reserve Champion, to name a few of his achievements! Suzie’s Dam, Sids Sanolena, earned $88,000 herself and produced foals who so far have earned more than $60,000. Of course her grand-sire, Smart Little Lena, needs no introduction: you all know he earned more than $740,000 in his lifetime and has produced long lines of show winners and major money earners! Talk about powerhouse genes running through this young gal…
After working with her for just a short while we feel this cow-bred filly can go in any direction, and with her pedigree she has the genes to show and succeed. Our Suzie is a smart thinker – picking up and retaining cues quickly. She is an agile and gorgeous mover; she has already proven that she’s extremely athletic, wanting to live up to her daddy’s name. She has a hard stop and a fast turn-around; and is she catty? Cowy? You know it! She also loads easily and ties well. Right now she’s about 13.3hh, but given her breeding she might top out at 15hh. This girl is built like a tank! She’s very strong but moves easily, quickly and quietly in the round pen. This girl is bred to cut a hole in the ground but is fast enough to whip it around a barrel! This filly is definitely go – go – go, but gives in when it’s time to slow down. And did you notice that sleek sorrel color and big, happy blaze? Of course you did – that’s why you’re reading more about her! No doubt that all eyes will be on this Suzie Q when you ride in the show arena or even on the trail in the years to come.
Take Suzie Q home today for just $4,200 and train her your way, your style and your direction!
