Cats Sunrise Legacy
as a Yearling
Meet Our 2024 Prospect Stallion
INTRODUCING THE FUTURE:
Cats Sunrise Legacy 🚨
We are thrilled to officially introduce a young stallion prospect built for the modern performance arena: Cats Sunrise Legacy.
Standing a leggy, athletic 15.1 hands, this exceptional colt perfectly bridges the gap between high-voltage modern cutting agility and the structural size, bone, and mind of historic western foundation bloodlines. He will proudly stand and train under the banner of The-Iron-D Foundation Quarter Horses.
🧬 The Powerhouse Pedigree:
-
Sire: Eight Mile (LTE $102,000+; NCHA World Champion Stallion). A direct son of the legendary Metallic Cat (Multi-Million Dollar Sire) and out of the elite mare Cappuccino and Pasta (LTE $155,522+ by NCHA Horse of the Year CD Olena × Savannah White).
-
Dam: Fancy Easter Sunrise. Injecting the rock-solid foundation, trainability, and deep-stopping power of NRHA Reining and AQHA Hall of Fame pillars Great Pine, Dry Doc, and Sunrise Enterprise.
💎 The Ultimate Genetic Security:
🔒 6-PANEL CLEAN (N/N) across the board! (HERDA, HYPP, PSSM1, GBED, MH, MYHM). He provides 100% genetic safety, making him the premier choice to outcross with elite performance mares carrying recessive traits.
​
📈 Skeletally Mature & Ready for Work:
Health and longevity are our top priorities at The-Iron-D. We are proud to share that recent veterinary X-rays confirm his knee growth plates are officially closed. He has a clean bill of health and the rock-solid skeletal foundation required to handle the high-impact demands of elite performance training.
Built to cover ground effortlessly down the fence line and drop his hocks deep into the dirt, we are excited to watch this young athlete launch his performance career.
​
💼 Future Breeding Inquiries:
To establish his legacy early, we will be offering an exclusive, highly limited "First 10" introductory breeding tier for select mares when his book officially opens in 2027. Send us an email at lmullen@the-iron-d.com to be placed on our early interest list!
