JAZZ FOR CASH

About

This beautiful stud has a whopper of a pedigree behind him. With Dash for Cash and Smart Little Lena in his background he is a fantastic cross with our foundation bred mares.

His colts so far have been very well balanced and athletic, as well as should have some size and speed. Tex is in love with this stallion and feels he is the complete package who has depth, a great disposition and is able to run hard, stop fast and just be an all around amazing horse. We cannot say enough great things about this stallion.

Pedigree highlights for reference: Dash for Cash: Dash For Cash ran 25 races in three years, crossing the finish line first – usually with plenty of daylight to spare – in 21 of them. Dash For Cash horses also made great cow horses such as National Cutting Horse Association world champion Miss N Cash.  Dash For Cash had great intelligence and ability that he passed onto his offspring. He was inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 1997. Sited from AQHA. 

Smart Little Lena: Smart Little Lena was inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 2015. It’s not the size of the horse in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the horse that matters, and Smart Little Lena had plenty of fight in his heart with style on the ground to match it.Smart Little Lena’s low, flowing snaky cutting style won the 1982 NCHA Futurity. He followed that win with first-place finishes in the NCHA Super Stakes and Derby.  After earning $577,652 in just eight shows, Smart Little Lena was retired to the breeding shed. 

As a sire, Smart Little Lena was outstanding, with money-earning foals in every performance discipline. In AQHA competition, his offspring earned 9,744.5 points and 22 world championships, along with $216,387. In the National Reining Horse Association competition, his foals earned $686,470. In the National Reined Cow Horse Association, they earned $973,136.95

But Smart Little Lena’s foals were primarily destined for the cutting pen and NCHA, where they earned $34.9 million.

As a maternal grandsire, his grandget earned 14,979.5 points in AQHA competition and $567,224. In NRHA competition, they earned $1.8 million; in NRCHA competition, they earned $2.56 million; and in NCHA, they earned $50 million. Smart Little Lena was euthanized in 2010, but that wasn’t the end. At the 2014 NCHA Futurity, 23 of the 25 open finalists – including the winner – carried the fighting blood of Smart Little Lena with them into the pen for their own duels in the dirt. The tiny stallion’s fighting legacy lives on. AQHA sited
