To date, Shining has earned $28,170 in NRHA lifetime earnings, a testament to his talent and trainability. His sire, Shining Spark, needs little introduction. An AQHA World Champion and NRHA Derby Champion, Shining Spark was the first $4 Million Sire in NRHA history and the first $3 Million Sire in NRCHA history. He remains EquiStat’s All-Time Leading Reined Cow Horse Sire and ranks among the Top 10 All-Time Leading Reining Sires, with over $10.7 million in offspring earnings and over $16 million in producer earnings across multiple disciplines.

On the maternal side, Shining is equally distinguished. His dam, Whiz Jewels, earned $102,435 in the show pen, competing almost exclusively in open divisions—a mark of true grit and staying power. As a broodmare, she has produced $492,706 in NRHA earnings, including Spooks N Jewels, an NRHA earner of $200,508.

Shining’s second dam, Hot Hollywood Jewels (by Hollywood Dun It), earned $42,981 and has produced over $375,000, including the standout Hot Hollywood Whizky, an NRHA earner of $118,074.

“With the passing of Shining Spark in December 2021, opportunities to own a direct son of this legendary sire have become increasingly rare,” said Solo Select founder Melanie Smith. “Shining presents a unique chance to preserve and propel a world-class legacy—whether in the arena or the breeding barn.”

Shining sells at flash auction on Sunday, July 27, 2025, with a one-hour bidding window.
