Ginnin Valentine is the kind of mare that doesn’t come along very often.
Standing a solid 15 hands tall and weighing approximately 1,100 pounds, this AQHA bay roan mare is built exactly the way a performance horse should be—strong, balanced, athletic, and made to last. She is the type that catches your eye when she walks through the gate and continues to impress every time you throw a leg over her.
Val is by the outstanding reined cow horse stallion Quahadi (LTE: $175,000+), a proven producer of elite athletes. Quahadi is by the legendary Bet Hesa Cat and out of an own daughter of Tanquery Gin, giving Val a pedigree packed with performance, cow sense, trainability, and longevity.
What makes Val even more exciting is that she is still young and eligible for an impressive list of incentives, making her a tremendous opportunity for someone looking toward the future:
• Riata Buckle (PAID IN)
• Gold Buckle Futurities
• Ruby Buckle
• Royal Crown Roping
• NRCHA Cow Horse Incentive
• Additional eligible incentive programs
While her pedigree and eligibility are impressive, her mind is what truly sets her apart.
Val is the kind of mare that wakes up every day wanting to be part of the team. She is willing, honest, and eager to please. Show her a job, explain what you’re asking, and she goes to work. She doesn’t argue, she doesn’t look for excuses, and she never backs away from a challenge. Her confidence, trainability, and work ethic make her a joy to have in the barn and a pleasure to ride.
She hauls exceptionally well, settles in wherever she goes, and is the type you never hesitate to load in the trailer and point down the road. New places, new situations, and new challenges don’t faze her. She simply shows up ready to do her job.
As a three-year-old, Val made her first-ever trip to a ranch horse show and exceeded every expectation, earning Weekend Reserve High Point Champion against stout competition. That accomplishment speaks volumes about her mind, talent, and ability to handle pressure.
The foundation has been laid. The hard work has been done. The talent is there.
In our opinion, this mare deserves every opportunity to reach the highest levels of the rope horse industry. She possesses the athletic ability, pedigree, size, trainability, and mindset necessary to excel. She is ready for someone to get her back in the box, start teaching the finer points of the roping game, and allow her to fulfill the tremendous potential she possesses.
Truthfully, horses like Val are the reason this business is both rewarding and difficult. We have raised, trained, marketed, and sold many good horses over the years, but every once in a while, one comes along that gets a little deeper into your heart than the rest. Val is one of those horses. She has been a willing partner from day one, and when the day comes that she loads onto someone else’s trailer, there will be tears shed in our driveway. Not because we’re unsure of her future, but because we are. We
