NCHA discusses the remarkable achievements and impact Smooth As A Cat left on the Western industry.

FORT WORTH – The National Cutting Horse Association (NCHA) deeply mourns the loss of Smooth As A Cat. His exceptional talent and remarkable achievements will be remembered and celebrated for years to come. His legacy, a testament to his strength and skill, will continue to inspire and motivate generations of riders. The NCHA extends its heartfelt condolences to the owners, trainers, and all those who had the privilege of knowing and working with Smooth As A Cat.

Smooth As A Cat was a 1999 stallion by High Brow Cat and Shes Pretty Smooth (Wheeling Peppy), and was owned by the Manion Ranch in Pilot Point, Texas. His impressive track record included winnings of over $500,000 in NCHA events, as well as multiple titles and awards. He was the only NCHA Horse of the Year to sire two NCHA Open Horses of the Year. His offspring have also made a significant impact in the cutting horse world, with excess earnings of $36.5 million and counting.

The NCHA recognizes Smooth As A Cat's remarkable achievements and the impact he made on the Western community. Our heartfelt condolences go out to everyone who had the privilege of knowing and working with him. We will always remember Smooth As A Cat as a shining example of excellence in the cutting horse community.
