If the name All Spice rings a bell, it’s because the entire industry watched this red roan phenom light up The American under Adan Bañuelos—music blasting, crowd roaring, and that unmistakable electricity only a once-in-a-generation mare can create.

We remember her 2020 NCHA Open Futurity win. We remember her 2021 NCHA Horse of the Year title.We remember her Hall of Fame induction. And of course—we remember her selling for $5 million at the Teton Ridge Absolute Dispersal this fall.
“She owes me nothing. I owe her everything,” Adan said. “The caliber of cow sense and strength she possesses is very rare.”
And she’s a Once In A Blu Boon daughter.
Her pedigree was built for this kind of greatness—by Once In A Blu Boon (LTE $319,002; $14.5M+ sire; NRCHA Million Dollar Sire) and out of Show Biz Kitty (High Brow Cat x $1.6M+ producer). The cross has already proven itself: her full brother Badboonarising was the 2018 NCHA Futurity Open Reserve Champion.
And Blu’s daughters aren’t just winning—they’re redefining the market. At the Teton Ridge Absolute Dispersal, two Blu daughters (All Spice and Twice in Santiago) brought a combined $6.8 million, making him the only stallion in recent memory to have two mares eclipse the seven-figure mark on the same day.

Who else does that?
“Once In A Blu Boon is the definition of a true broodmare sire, and mares like All Spice and Twice In Santiago prove it,” owner Jill Freeman said. “Blu offers one of the clearest outcross options in the industry.”

But then again—Blu has never been ordinary.
With more than $15 million in offspring earnings across cutting, cow horse, and beyond, his influence is powerful, consistent, and unmistakable. He stamps his daughters with everything the elite look for: trainability, cow sense, athleticism, and heart.
