Fine cowhorse and reining pedigrees dominate this premier group of horses
Having grown up on a Nebraska ranch, Art Nicholas has naturally gravitated toward raising and showing the all-around cowhorse. Consequently fine cutting, reining and reined cowhorse pedigrees dominate the premier group of mares chosen to base Wagonhound's breeding program upon. Representing nearly every legendary breeding program in the modern cowhorse world, the mares of Wagonhound Land & Livestock are "horsemen's horses" of outstanding quality and conformation. They carry tremendous pedigrees, include some of the most famous individuals in the industry, and are bred to some of the greatest stallions in the country.
Wagonhound Land & Livestock owns the 2005 NCHA World Open Finals Champion WR THIS CATS SMART, who has bred a full book for the past 2 years, and whose first foals will enter the show arena in late 2008. He stands at Valley Oak Ranch in California.
Wagonhound Land & Livestock currently has horses in training at the ranch, and with Tim Smith, Andrea Fappanni, Bob Avila and Todd Crawford.
