Tommy and Chris Manion with Scrapy and Candy. Some things never change - good dogs, good people, and a love for the ranch life.

A throwback of Tommy and Layne, just two cowboys having a conversation.
The best kind of legacy is the one passed down one generation at a time.

Wishing this awesome kid a school year full of big adventures, new friendships, lots of learning, and plenty of reasons to smile. We couldn’t be more proud of you, Layne, and we can’t wait to see all the great things this year has in store.

Here’s to an amazing first day and an even better fourth-grade year! 📚

We’re grateful to the breeders, owners, riders, and supporters who have helped make Smooth As A Cat’s legacy what it is today.

The legacy lives on through his offspring and the breeders who continue to believe in the program.

Smooth As A Cat combined some of the most influential bloodlines in the history of the cutting horse industry. Sired by High Brow Cat and out of Shes Pretty Smooth, his pedigree traces back to legendary names including High Brow Hickory, Smart Little Lena, Doc Bar, Peppy San Badger, and Wheeling Peppy.

The result was a horse that became known for his intelligence, athleticism, cow sense, and willingness to work, traits that continue to be seen in his offspring today.

While Smooth As A Cat's accomplishments in the show pen are well documented, his greatest legacy may be the generations of horses carrying his influence forward.

The bloodline lives on. The legacy continues.
