SIRE: Peptoboonsmal
DAM: One Time Quickly by Sensible Little Lena
INCENTIVES: Breeders Invitational, Gold Buckle, NCHA Tremendous Stakes, NRCHA Cow Horse Incentive, Riata Championship
Fortunately for workforce ropers, Sheri Matthews is constant the legacy she and her late husband Jeffrey began with main slicing and reined cow horse sire One Time Pepto. The $23 million-plus sire, now deceased, has just lately emerged as a number one team-roping sire with earners of a half-million in roping.
One Time Pepto’s offspring embrace a few NRCHA superstars in Hickory Holly Time (LTE $231,025) and One Positive Classic (LTE $135,187). One other son is Nu One Time Blues, the 2022 Snaffle Bit Futurity finalist that received the 2023 ARHFA 4-12 months-Previous Heeling World Championship beneath Joseph Harrison and received 4 extra heeling futurities final season. All three of those “One Time” infants had been saved as studs.
“One Time has really been a once-in-a-lifetime horse,” Sheri stated. “He has so exceeded our hopes and desires, each competing and as a sire. At this time, it’s such a blessing to be elevating a few of his greatest foals but and breeding the One Time Pepto daughters, who’re rising as distinctive producers. This may have made my husband particularly comfortable; he’s at all times been an enormous proponent of nice mares.”
Clearly, Jeffrey Matthews knew what he was doing when he plunked down $380,000 for then-yearling One Time Pepto in 2002. The gorgeous pink roan was by the legendary NCHA Futurity champ Peptoboonsmal, by $25 million sire Peppy San Badger out of the cloned and All-Time Main Dam Royal Blue Boon. And the stallion’s dam, One Time Quickly, was a $1.3 million producer by Sensible Little Lena out of Uno Princess by the slicing world champion Jose Uno.
