Black N Blu Boon: A Proven Stallion From a Blue-Hen Family
Lot 51, Black N Blu Boon, gives buyers the opportunity to own a blue roan stallion already proven in the cutting pen and established as a stud with two foal crops on the ground.
Black N Blu Boon earned $27,035 as an NCHA Open Futurity semifinalist, NCHA Limited Open Futurity finalist and The Non-Pro $25,000 Novice Classic co-champion. He is six-panel N/N, and his first foals are yearlings in 2026.
He is by $319,002 earner Once In A Blu Boon, the AQHA World Champion Senior Cutting Horse and sire of more than $16.7 million. That sire line connects Black N Blu Boon to performers including NCHA Horse of the Year All Spice and NCHA Reserve Horse of the Year Badboonarising.
The bottom side adds four generations of production. Black N Blu Boon is out of Lil Autumn Splendor, a CD Olena daughter whose foals have earned more than $568,000. His second dam is $258,185 NCHA Open Super Stakes Champion Autumn Boon, the producer of more than $2 million. The family extends to Royal Blue Boon, the producer of more than $2.6 million.
Black N Blu Boon combines a documented show record, color, balance and a pedigree full of the producers that have shaped generations of cutting horses.
Wood He Be: A Full Brother to Zak 34 With a Record of His Own
Hip No. 401, Wood He Be, is a full brother to $420,295 earner and NRCHA World’s Greatest Horseman Reserve Champion Zak 34. He also enters the sale with futurity and derby credentials of his own.
In 2025, Wood He Be reached the finals of both the NRCHA Intermediate Open and Limited Open futurities. He was the NRCHA Futurity preliminary Intermediate Open herd work co-reserve champion, Limited Open herd work co-champion and Limited Open fence work reserve champion. He returned in 2026 to make the Wild Rag Cattle Classic Intermediate Open Derby finals.
Wood He Be has earned $7,351 with limited hauling. He is by $351,063 earner Woody Be Tuff, the Cotton Stakes Open Classic champion and sire of more than $16 million.
His dam, Cat Digs Lucinda, has produced 15 money-earners with earnings of $854,448. Four are by Woody Be Tuff: Zak 34, $196,830 earner CR Hes A Tuff One, $82,345 earner CR Woody Dig It and $71,133 earner CR Tuff Digs Lucinda.
The cross has produced more than $770,000 among those four full siblings. Wood He Be offers the same family with the added value of a current performance record and a foundation to keep showing.
