Justa Hitman “Hitman” is a 2012 sorrel stallion, who stands at 16.3 hands, and 1300 pounds. He is also 5 panel negative. Hitman is by the great racing stallion, Hard Hitting (SI 98), who has $358,923 in earnings on the track, in 13 starts. Hitman is double bred First Down Dash (SI 105), triple bred Dash for Cash (SI 114), and double bred Beduino. in addition, you can find TR Dasher (SI 94), Chicks Beduino (SI 104), Noholme, Rocket Wrangler (SI 97), Find a Buyer, Rare Form (SI 120), The Signature (SI 107), Fiesta in the Sky (SI 99), Pie in the Sky (SI 101), and First Prize Rose (SI 98), on his pedigree.

Just within the first three generations (directly on his papers), this stallion has 13 horses within his linage, who have won money on the track, with 6 of those having won over $100,000. Those six big time hitters on his direct papers include his sire Hard Hitting, First Down Dash, Chicks Beduino, Rare Form, The Signature, and Susies Girl Sally. His pedigree is filled with money earning speed, power, stride length, and stamina. It’s carried through from the all-time greats like Dash for Cash, right up to his sire Hard Hitting. Hitman’s foals are just now seeing the performance pen, but his speed and power already shows to have flowed through to them, as well. We breed what we want to ride and train. He is eager to please, and his foals are the same way. No matter what mare he has been crossed on, running or cow bred, his babies have all been quiet, easy to work with, quick footed, and very smooth moving horses.

Hitman has never been officially raced on the track himself, however he was matched raced a select handful of times, unofficially, by a previous owner as a very young horse in NM, and he won those, we were told. His owner previous to us, used him to breeze their TB colts on the track (multiple a day), as he was able to keep up with them and handle several horses a day. Prior to purchase, we did fly down and watch him work on the track ourselves. In addition, shortly before we purchased him, he was also sent to Hayden Todd, the 2015 CNFR Barrel Racing Champion, and patterned on barrels. He has since been worked more on them with us, and he shows great promise with that, but his main purpose has been as a breeding stallion for our ranch. He rides in a soft bit, and his strides are long and elegant. He covers ground at a incredible pace as well, but not in a matter that hammers you in the saddle. You can tell, he’s experienced at running out, at full stride, on a track.. With that said, he collects well at a barrel, and he opens his stride back up to an incredible length between the barrels. Something that not all horses know how to do. The power in his hind quarters is incredible. You feel every ounce of it, in the saddle. These qualities, he has put into his babies as well. Qualities that we believe will be powerful traits in not just our barrel prospects, but also our roping, dogging and calf horse prospects. We specifically went looking for a stud with speed and a powerful hind end bred to run, to breed into some of our mares. Hitman has been a phenomenal attribute to our program. We are so happy with his foals, and we are now starting to get to ride them the last 2 years. Check out our FOR SALE page, to see some of his babies, for sale, from weanlings to started 5 year olds!

Hitman is gentle, personable, easy to handle, quiet, and such a gentleman with the mares. Our program is a family operation, with lots of little kiddos running around, and something we cannot have here, are any stallions that might hurt one of the kids, even unintentionally. Hitman loves to be loved on. He will stand there all day long for attention, and constantly seeks you out for companionship and scratches. Even breeding mares, he is quick to be corrected by his handler, and he approaches his mares with restraint and manners. We are the only ones who have owned him as a breeding stallion, and he has only been used to hand breed, as that’s just what we prefer to do with our program.

We love this stallion so much, we have kept several of his fillies, for replacement mares, into our broodmares string. Therefore, we feel he should go onto another home, and continue as a breeding stallion. As of now, we are the only ones offering his foals for sale. A PPE is welcome, at buyers expense. He is very fertile, and settles mares usually, at their first cycle. Often with only one breeding.He is very breeding sound, and has never had any issues or breeding injuries. We also do not breed outside mares, therefore, he is only breeding mares in a closed herd. He is being sold as a breeding stud only, at this time, as we simply haven’t rode him much lately, as our program has been so busy. He is sound, though, and can easily go back to it. We can discuss more on that, over the phone, if interested. This is a great opportunity to own a great stallion!

**Has no exposures to outside horses (I.e. EHV)
