Weatherford, Texas—Shiners Diamond Girl (Shining Spark x Zans Diamond Jackie x Zans Diamond Sun), owned by San Juan Ranch and bred by Carol Rose, is the National Reined Cow Horse Association’s (NRCHA) newest $750,000 dam. The 2002 palomino mare collected more than $64,000 in the show pen herself and now continues to prove to be a force as a dam of champions. San Juan Ranch also owns Shiners Little Oak, a dam whose offspring surpassed $500,000 in NRCHA earnings earlier this year.
“Having two San Juan Ranch mares achieve $500,000 and $750,000 has contributed to San Juan Ranch being the No. 1 NRCHA Breeder,” shared Brenda Stephenson, owner of San Juan Ranch. “San Juan Ranch is delighted to have these great mares in our breeding program. They can do it all!”
