Also, watch for another “Diamond” filly this year at the Futurity, a really nice one owned by Tajah Braganca ! And to cap it off, “Diamond” is currently expecting a Scooter Kat foal to be born very soon!

With much consideration Whispering Willows Ranch has decided to shift the focus of their breeding program to concentrate on the mare herd alone. Given this decision, the ranch is looking to move away from stallion ownership and sell their stallion. This brings up the rare and unique opportunity for someone to purchase a stallion the caliber of This One Time.
This One Time is an earner of $163,000. He is a NRCHA Open Futurity Reserve Champion, Open Stakes Champion and Open Derby Reserve Champion! By One Time Pepto and out of 2x Worlds Greatest Horseman Champion and NRCHA Hall of Fame mare, Katie Starlight. He is 6 panel clean. To date, This One Time has produced 24 money earners that have won over $87,000.
This One Time currently stands at Vista Equine Colorado and would come with 600 straws of frozen semen. A breeding dose is 5 straws. Available by private treaty, please message us or reach out to Ed directly at 307-351-0200. Please, serious inquiries only.

It’s an exciting day here at Whispering Willows, home of This One Time. New footing going into the outdoor arena!

We're doing the #equinecomebackchallenge again this year, and this time I drew a 3 year old Mustang named Tonto who has been a little tricky to get started. But this is our 5th ride and he's decided that this is kind of fun. Tonto is going to have some time off while we go show horses, so I'll update in a few weeks.

This is our last Cactus post, 70 days into training and he kind of wants to develop his own style! See you at the expo in 2 weeks, #equinecomebackchallenge
