Oocytes (eggs) of a valuable broodmare (donor mare) are fertilized in a lab. The oocytes are recovered from the mare’s ovarian follicles and then cultured to induce maturation, mirroring the developmental changes that would occur in an oocyte immediately before ovulation. The maturation process usually takes 12 to 30 hours, depending upon the stage of maturation of the recovered eggs.

We use ICSI procedure with Smart Chic Olena.

Equine Intracytoplasmic S***m Injection (ICSI) is often used when pregnancies are sought from a limited s***m supply. In our case, from a male that has passed away.

We use the ICSI procedure for Smart Chic Olena.

ICSI is a short term which means Intracytoplasmic s***m injection, which is where you take one single s***m and inject it into the oocyte/egg under the microscope with a micromanipulator.

We are super excited to announce a new chapter for Smart Chic Olena. Looking forward to working with Brazos Valley Stallion Station.

It is with great honor that we at BVSS announce the opportunity to breed to the great 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜 𝐎𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐚.

In 2012, Smart Chic Olena passed on after living an incredible life, but through ICSI and state of the art sciences, we are able to preserve the legend and continue to breed the future of our industry.

He was a force in the showpen - and has only continued to shine through his offspring with produce earnings exceeding 13 Million Dollars and rising!

In 2018, he was inducted into the AQHA Stallion Hall of Fame, he is an NRHA Hall of Fame Stallion, and the ONLY horse to have ever won championships in both cutting and reining! Not only was “Chic” himself versatile, but as a sire he proves this again!
FOAL EARNINGS EVENT BREAKDOWN
Reining: $7,524,921.27

RIP Sir

We received news that Baxter Black has passed away. Baxter was a cowboy poet and former large animal veterinarian. He touched a lot of people with his weekly newspaper column, On the Edge of Common Sense.

Baxter will be missed. In his honor, below is his last piece written…

Baxter Black's final column: A horse matters

Posted Wednesday, January 5, 2022.
By Baxter Black

“I like living someplace where a horse matters.
There is just some country where horseback is the only way to get the job done. Places where the four-wheeler is a poor second, not to mention a noisy, track-leaving unnatural conveyance. Besides, it’s hard to throw a rope from.
Helicopters can spot and scare, if that’s what you need, but it’s helpless when you have to doctor a calf. It is a great feeling to be pushing a cow out of a mesquite thicket, packing a dude down the Grand Canyon or tracking a mountain lion on a high ridge, knowing you’re on the perfect tool for the job. You look at a horse different when he’s on the payroll.
I like being a person to whom a horse matters.
It puts me in such good company, Robert E. Lee, Teddy Roosevelt, Rudyard Kipling, Ray Hunt, Queen Elizabeth, Jerry Diaz, Casey Tibbs, cowboys, Mongols, Gauchos, teamsters, Lipazzaners and vaqueros of all kinds. Granted being a horse person doesn’t make me easier to get along with, better at spelling or richer. It simply gives me a direct connection to one of the most ancient, mutually beneficial interspecies relationships on the planet.
Winston Churchill said, “There is something about the outside of a horse, that is good for the inside of a man.”
I like being there when a horse matters.
When you can’t do the job alone; a cow in the bog, a race against time, a boulder to move, a detour to take, a mountain to cross, a crevice to leap, a war to win, a sweetheart to impress, or...when you’ve gone too far to walk back.
Shakespeare’s King Richard III said when fate hung in the balance, “A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!”
I’ve also come to believe that you either are a horse person or you aren’t. Many who are, never know it because they never have the chance. It’s a primitive acceptance, often mutual. A lack of fear. You see it in some children when they are first introduced to the horse. It always gives me a sense of wonder to be there and help them make their acquaintance. I believe the horse can sense the child’s innate trust. It is the beginning of a natural bond.
I count myself very lucky that I get to be a part of the wonderful world of horse sweat, soft noses, close calls and twilight on the trail.
I like living a life where a horse matters.”

We extend our deepest sympathy and condolences to Baxter’s wife, Cindy Lou, and his family, and friends.

{SMART CHIC OLENA}

Smart Chic Olena wasn’t just an intelligent and athletic performer: He transferred those skills to his offspring as he became a leading sire in cutting, working cow horse and reining.

The sorrel stallion was foaled in 1985 on the B.F. Phillips Ranch in Frisco, Texas, where cutting trainer Bill Glass first laid eyes on the c**t.

“I paid $25,000 for him – and this was during the recession – so I gambled on ‘Chic,’ but he never made me sorry for it,” Bill says. Bill broke Chic out himself as a 2-year-old for 90 days, then worked the c**t on the ranch. Bill showed the horse at several AQHA cuttings to qualify him for the AQHA World Championship Show. The horse won about $38,000.

Then Chic injured a hock in a stall accident, and veterinarians couldn’t say whether he would be sound enough to show again. That’s when Texan Jim Babcock bought the stallion. The stallion’s hock healed, and Jim sent him to trainer Dell Bell.

In the next two years, Dell showed Chic nearly 200 times. They competed in NCHA, AQHA and American Cutting Horse Association events.

In 1990, Smart Chic Olena won the AQHA senior cutting world championship. He was also the year-end high-point winner in cutting and senior cutting. At the same time he was being shown, he was being bred. Chic's introductory breeding fee was $750. By the time he was 20, his advertised fee was $25,000.

At the end of 1991, Chic retired from cutting, with more than $110,000 in NCHA earnings. Then Jim decided to expand the horse’s repertoire to include reining.

At the World Show that year, Chic became the world champion in senior reining. He remains the only horse to win world championships in both cutting and reining.

The next year, five Smart Chic Olenas made the NRHA Futurity finals. Chic sons and daughters have accrued more than $7 million in reining.

He was euthanized June 24, 2012, but his records keep piling up. Chic’s direct sons and daughters are still competing. He has – so far – sired 11 open world champions, four amateur world champions and two youth world champions.

Smart Chic Olena was inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 2018.
