Smoking Roosters

The future has a way of peeking through.

Every generation starts with a strong foundation—and a little curiosity about what’s ahead.

Some mares define a program.

Valentina Baby Pale is one of them.

By Pale Face Dunnit and out of OT Luky Highway Baby, this 2017 mare has earned more than $110,000 in the show pen. Today, she’s helping shape the next generation at Smooking Roosters.

With three foals already on the ground and two more expected in 2027, her story is only just beginning.

Around here…every horse has a personality.

Some are bold.
Some are quiet.
And some are simply waiting at the fence to make your day a little better.

Those are the moments that remind us why we do what we do.

A huge congratulations to our very own Michelle Fumagalli and Peptos Big Stop on marking a 216.5 and qualifying for the RFAM Non Pro Finals in Las Vegas!

Moments like these are the result of countless hours, dedication, and trust between horse and rider. We couldn’t be more excited to see Michelle and “Rudy” earn their place in the top 30 Non Pro Finalists.

The barn is a little quieter this week as resident trainer Dan Huss heads to the NRHA Derby.

Back home, the horses are enjoying the slower pace while we cheer on all of the exhibitors, owners, and trainers competing in Oklahoma City.

Best of luck to everyone showing at the Derby!

A name is only as good as what stands behind it.

Good horses. Good people. A commitment to doing things the right way.

Not every ride has to happen in the arena. Sometimes the best moments are found out on the trail.
