The Solo Select Embryo February Sale maintains its foundation of high-end embryo offerings in 2026, while expanding the lineup to include a select group of foals, broodmares and riding horses from elite programs and pedigrees.
“With breeding season officially underway, this sale offers a rare opportunity to access crosses that are seldom available—whether the goal is raising the next champion or securing genetics with proven resale value.”— Melanie Smith, Solo Select Founder
The embryos and embryo packages offered span multiple Western performance disciplines, including cutting, reined cow horse, reining, and roping, bringing together proven sires and elite maternal lines.
Here’s an exciting opportunity to invest early in a serious Open Futurity cutting prospect.
This 2026 foal in utero is by Storyteler, earner of $383,249 and American Performance Horseman Champion. A two-time AQHA Fan Favorite, Storyteler has stood on the podium at the highest levels, including top finishes at the NCHA Super Stakes Open Derby and Classic, as well as the Run For A Million Cutting Challenge Open. He is a three-quarter sibling to Million-Dollar Earner and NCHA Horse of the Year Kittennish, and a half sibling to NCHA Horse of the Year All Spice, Badboonarising, and Rollz Royce.
The dam, Sho Boat, is a $260,000+ earning daughter of the $16.6 million sire and NCHA Horse of the Year Metallic Rebel, out of the legendary producer Reycy Moon, whose offspring earnings exceed $1.3 million. Sho Boat is a half sibling to NCHA Open Futurity Champion Second Spot and represents one of the most proven maternal lines in the cutting horse industry. She is proudly owner by Carpenter Farms and is available to the public for ICSI through our Select Genes program.
This embryo brings together cutting horse royalty on both sides of the pedigree and is built for a future at the very top of the Open pen.

You like to kill two birds with one stone? How about three?
This package offers three elite embryos by sires with established track records, backed by some of the most lucrative bloodlines in the industry. These frozen embryos deliver confidence, credibility, and exceptional upside—all out of the remarkable mare Carrera Cat.
Carrera Cat, a daughter of Metallic Cat, is a record-breaking performer and multiple-time Open and World Show finalist.
She produced a BLACK filly by Shining Spark that topped the NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity Sale at $180,000 in 2023. Her very first foal by Hickory Holly Time went on to become the 2020 Reno Snaffle Bit Futurity Champion and an NRCHA Futurity Open finalist.
The first embryo is by Woody Be Tuff, the $15+ million sire and cornerstone of the Solo Select program.
The second embryo is by Spooks Gotta Whiz, the legendary $14 million sire, $351,063 earner, and one of the most dominant reining sires of the modern era.
The third embryo is by The Darkk Side, AQHA World Champion Junior Heading Horse and $214,876 earner. His breedings sold out in under 30 minutes for the 2026 season, and he has been a consistent standout in Trevor Brazile and Miles Baker’s program.
You need some serious rope horse power?
Here are three chances to inject proven rope horse talent directly into your program.
The first embryo is by The Darkk Side, one of the rope horse industry’s most exclusive young sires.
The second embryo is by Pride And Joyy, the highest-earning offspring of Stevie Rey Von, with earnings exceeding $435,000. Known for excelling in both reined cow horse and roping, Pride And Joyy has earned a reputation as one of the most versatile performers in the industry.
The third embryo is by Woody Be Tuff, whose offspring continue to dominate across disciplines. Most recently, CR Tuff King carried Cody McCartney to the Gold Buckle Futurities World Finals 6 & Under Tie-Down Championship before teaming up with Cheyanne McCartney to claim the 6 & Under Breakaway Championship.
All three embryos are out of Jess A Cartel, by the $71+ million sire Corona Cartel and out of a daughter of Mr Jess Perry. With nearly half a million dollars in progeny earnings, she consistently passes on speed, athleticism, and competitiveness.
This set has the potential to produce three versatile rope horses loaded with talent and speed.
You need some innate cow sense?
Two embryos are by Once In A Blu Boon, the $15 million sire and $318,000+ LTE stallion widely recognized as a true sire of broodmares and sire of stallions.
His daughters—including All Spice and Twice In Santiago—are shaping the future of the industry, while sons like Badboonarising, now a $3 million+ sire, continue to dominate across disciplines. Add in a flawless genetic panel, and the foundation is undeniable.
The remaining two embryos are by LBR Hangem, one of the most exciting young stallions in cutting today. Qualified for the 2026 Run For A Million and praised for his consistency, conformation, and cow sense, he has already earned $352,722 LTE under Kenny Platt. With his books closed and availability limited to ICSI only, access to his genetics for the 2026 season is becoming increasingly limited.
All four embryos are out of Metallicat, a Metallic Cat daughter, money-earner, and proven producer of Dualin Metallic Cat, an NRCHA Open and Intermediate Open Futurity finalist with over $60,000 LTE.
This sale brings together an exceptional lineup of high-value, highly sought-after crosses, featuring some of today’s most popular and influential sires like Scooter Kat, rare and hard-to-access bloodlines such as SS Black Lil Kitty, and exciting young stallions including The Firemen.
The offering on the maternal bloodlines is just as strong, with true performers and proven producers like Smart Kitty RG, Sho Boat, ARC Ruby Playgunia, Cattahoochie, Stylish Lizzie, Metallic Blu, Ahh Momma Mia, Relentless Glory, Carrera Cat, Lizzys Chrome Kitty, and more.
Beyond embryos, the February Sale also includes a select group of foals, broodmares, two-year-olds, and riding horses, making it a well-rounded opportunity for breeders, competitors, and investors alike.
