Western Pleasure Super Sires is Expanding! New Class and New Stallions

Western Pleasure Super Sires is expanding!  The Executive Committee of forward thinkers behind the scenes of Super Sires is working to grow the program. They are dedicated to the owners and breeders who support the industry and are constantly looking at ways to expand and improve.

The latest expansion includes the addition of a new class and two stallions!

Beginning in 2018, the Super Sires will add a Non-Pro Trail Class for 4 and 5 Year Olds that will be held during The Madness event at Robert’s Arena in Wilmington, Ohio in May. The class will tentatively be held on Saturday, May 19, 2018. First place will receive a guaranteed check for $5,000! Watch for more details to be announced on the Super Sires website.

The Super Sires Executive Committee has approved two new stallions for 2018. Im A Platinum Dream and Gone Viral will now boast the status of being a Super Sire.

Im A Platinum Dream is a 2010 grey stallion sired by Huntin For Chocolate and out of Ima Bodacious Dream. “Dreamer” has an extensive list of accomplishments including Arizona National Circuit Champion Jr Western Pleasure and Arizona Sun Circuit Champion Green Western Pleasure. He is owned by Mathew Hagee of San Antonio, Texas and managed by Dale Livingston. Im A Platinum Dream will stand 2018 at Diamond MK Ranch in Boerne, Texas.
