Quintessential High — black type document 1

NCHA Limited Open Futurity Champion, LTE $26,000, PE $114,620

This is a Select Genes highlight that has all the ingredients to become a standout producer.

She has earned more than $26,000 in the cutting pen and claimed a NCHA Limited Open Futurity Champion title. She has already shown her value as a producer with offspring earnings exceeding $114,620, highlighted by a Southern Open Futurity Champion, Quintan Boon (LTE $73,193).

Sired by one of the most influential cutting horse sires of all time and a producer of more than $40.8 million in offspring earnings, Smooth As A Cat. His standout performers include Smooth Asa Zee (LTE $619,415: NCHA Non-Pro World Champion), Reystylin Smooth (LTE $484,215: NCHA Non-Pro Co-World Champion twice), Smooth Talkin Style (LTE $305,284: NCHA Horse of the Year) among many other champions. As a broodmare sire, his daughters have produced earners of over $16 million.

On the bottom side, Quintessential High is out of the incredible producer and NCHA Hall of Famer, Quintan Blue. A standout performer with lifetime earnings totaling more than $600,000 and major titles that include NCHA Open Futurity Reserve Champion and Breeders Invitational Open Classic Champion. Her impact as a producer has been even more impressive with over $1.5 million in progeny earnings including Cat Man Blue (LTE $302,345: NCHA Non-Pro Champion, NCHA Super Stakes Open Classic Champion, NCHA Open Finals Champion), Blue One Time (LTE $254,625: top 10 NCHA Open Futurity) along with numerous others. Quintan Blue is also a half-sister to Solo Select’s Metallic Cattack, an Open Tie-Down Roping World Champion and the Top Sire at the 2026 Gold Buckle Futurities Spring Event.

This mare offers remarkable maternal strength and show pen credentials that make her an ideal choice to add a strong genetic foundation to any program.

Frequently Asked

What am I actually buying from Quintessential High?
An embryo — a foal — out of Quintessential High. Not the mare herself. She stays with her owner, and the foal is 100% yours.
What does Quintessential High's price mean?
Quintessential High is offered by Private Treaty: her Custom ICSI Aspiration covers one aspiration cycle with the stallion you choose, and includes your first embryo. Contact Solo Select Horses at office@soloselect.com for terms.
What if my aspiration produces more than one embryo?
They're yours. Each additional embryo from Quintessential High's aspiration is half the agreed price, and you're only billed if it produces a live foal.
What if the aspiration produces zero embryos?
Re-aspirate Quintessential High next season for just another $2,000 chute fee, or put your purchase price (minus the chute fee) toward any other mare in the program.
