2018 AQHA Gelding

14.3 HH

Nic is a striking bay gelding with a soft expression, deep shine, and a presence that turns heads wherever he goes. His gentle, people-loving nature makes him the barn favorite — he’s sweet, patient, and always eager for attention. Nic has a calm, affectionate personality and truly acts like a big dog, following you around and soaking up every bit of affection. He’s the kind that stays the same day in and day out — dependable, honest, and always ready to make you smile.

Bred and trained to the highest standards, Nic carries a pedigree loaded with proven cow and reining bloodlines. He’s by LC Shining Playboy (Lena Spark x Brigaboys Toy, by Brigaboy), a son of the great Lena Spark, and out of Nics Smart Playgirl (Cowboy Smarts x Nics Lil Playgirl, by Elans Playboy). That combination brings together some of the most respected names in the industry — Shining Spark, Smart Chic Olena, Elans Playboy, and Reminic — a lineup that has produced countless money earners and performers known for talent, mind, and trainability.

PERFORMANCE RECORD: NRHA earner of $738. In 2021, Nic was the Midwest RHA Extravaganza Level 4 Open Futurity Reserve Champion, and a finalist in the Tennessee RHA Rock-n-Roll Classic Levels 2, 3, and 4 Open Futurities — an impressive record that reflects his ability, willingness, and athleticism. Since then, Nic has transitioned beautifully into the ranch events, where he’s been shown and won in Ranch Trail and Ranch Versatility, showcasing his adaptability, quiet nature, and correctness of training.

In the arena, Nic is as broke as they come. He performs all the reining maneuvers with precision — stylish spins, pretty circles, soft lead departures, and a big, correct stop. He’s more “whoa than go,” honest, forgiving, and stays trained even with time off. Outside the arena, Nic is just as solid. He’s confident on the trail, steady in new environments, and gentle to handle in every way.

Whether you’re looking for a proven reiner, a versatility show horse, or a dependable, kind-hearted partner, Nic embodies the total package — pedigree, performance, and personality all wrapped into one beautiful bay gelding.
