Smokin The Jay

This classy, athletic gelding is by Long Pines' NRCHA champion, Bettin Yer Smart, out of Sterling’s high school cutting mare Smokin Hickory Girl.

Amos, by Bettin Yer Smart, is from the stallion's first foal crop after we retired him from the showpen. His near-perfect conformation is just the beginning. Amos is a very willing learner with tons of try. He entered reined cow horse training with Justin Lawrence in early 2019, while also being used as a ranch horse.  When Long Pines was asked for a reined cow horse demonstration at the North Dakota High School Rodeo Finals, Amos stepped in when another horse wasn’t available – his first trip to town and he was a superstar.

In August 2019 he made his first competitive runs and handled it well. Just three weeks later, he became an NRCHA open-level money earner against tough competition at the SDRCHA’s Road to Texas Futurity/Derby.

We always suspected the genetic cross of these two powerhouse horses would be potent. Amos’ pedigree is literally the “Who’s Who” of cow horses: Smart Little Lena, Peptoboonsmal, Bet Yer Blue Boons, Freckles Playboy, Peppy San Badger, Doc’s Hickory and Doc O’Lena.
