Yer Brakes R Smokin

"Ernie" is a 2017 Red Roan Gelding

Yer Brakes R Smokin is maturing into an all-around prospect with a lot of cow and a ground-covering yet controlled way of moving. Shown here in Nov. 2020.

This classy, athletic gelding is by Long Pines' NRCHA champion, Bettin Yer Smart, out of Sterling’s high school cutting mare Smokin Hickory Girl. Yer Brakes R Smokin's pedigree is literally the “Who’s Who” of cow horses: Smart Little Lena, Peptoboonsmal, Bet Yer Blue Boons, Freckles Playboy, Peppy San Badger, Docs' Hickory and Doc O’Lena.

Ernie developed a deep stop, crisp and clean lead transitions, and nice spins. His style of moving is fluid and he definitely is a smart horse. We think he has a lot of potential as an all-around horse, including heeling, tie-down and roping. Like all our horses, he's been ranched on, too.

"Ernie" is the younger full brother to our Smokin The Jay, who is a versatility and reined cow horse standout with earnings in NRCHA, AQHA and Ranching Heritage. Ernie was started by the great team at Justin Lawrence Cow Horses. He was sold to a excellent roper and trainer in Fall 2020.

The last foal out of Sterling's high school cutting mare, Yer Brakes R Smokin is as cowy as they come. He's shown here as a yearling with his dam, Smokin Hickory Girl.
