The focus of the Douglas, Wyoming, Wagonhound Land and Livestock’s breeding program might be raising high-quality ranch horses for their own cowboys and for the public, but its proven producers go far beyond athletic, gritty using horses. The royal bloodlines owned by Wagonhound Land and Livestock routinely create champion reined cow horses, as well as those for cutting, reining and ranch competitions, leading the ranch to officially be named an NRCHA Two Million Dollar Breeder.

Even after his passing in 2022, WR This Cats Smart (High Brow Cat x The Smart Look x Smart Little Lena) continues to show up on the bloodlines of winners, from aged events to horse show classes. Horses the ranch bred that top the ranch’s earnings list include Cabanna Boy (WR This Cats Smart x Shining Madonna x Shining Spark), with more than $190,000 in NRCHA lifetime earnings; This Cats The Mark (WR This Cats Smart x Shiney Miss Marker x Shining Spark), with more than $166,000 in NRCHA lifetime earnings; and Shiners Diamond Cat (WR This Cats Smart x Shiners Diamond Lady x Shining Spark), with nearly $150,000 in NRCHA lifetime earnings.
