Here is a rare and unique opportunity: an own son of Copy Cat – a direct clone of High Brow Cat! This handsome long yearling that we call Marty is already showing great potential to meet the ultra-legendary efforts of his High Brow Cat heritage!…
Marty’s sire, Copy Cat, is the genetic replica of High Brow Cat: NCHA’s leading sire, all ages, all divisions, with offspring earnings in excess of $76 million across 5 disciplines, sire of 8 NCHA Futurity champions and 21 AQHA World Champions! Katrin Hinrichs, Professor and Patsy Link Chair in Mare Reproductive Studies at Texas A&M, cloned Copy Cat from genetic material harvested from High Brow Cat to create an exact reproductive replica. Copy Cat, foaled in 2013, was labeled by scientists as being the “purest of equine clones” due to the unique process of his cloning. An oocyte harvested from a maternal relative of High Brow Cat’s dam, Smart Little Kitty, is what sets the process apart from other cloned horses and raises his genetic integrity to a higher level. AQHA does not register clones but registration is available through the American DNA Registry which shows proof of ownership and ownership history, as well as age and genetic verification. The NCHA does not require horses to be registered to compete so Marty is eligible for all competitions!
Marty’s unique pedigree is only part of his story: this coming 2 year old is poised, very smart, quick to learn and eager to get out of his stall and make some moves. As a long yearling he is already showing promise with cow moves and is incredibly mature. Move over Cat family, this kid is ready to make his name in the cow horse world!
Through his sire Marty is eligible for a breeding incentive: $15,000 to any 2018 , 2019, and 2020 foal crops that make the open finals at the NCHA futurity and NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity.
