Yarraman Training Stables strives to improve the progeny produced and a key factor to this is the depth of breeding in your stallion and broodmares. ‘Pepped up Spin’ is as close to a perfectly bred Australian horse as you’ll get. His pedigree is as strong as you can get with proven performers and producers all the way through his sire and dams sides.

His sire, ‘Peptos Stylish Oak’ (IMP) was shown in 2001 in the NCHA derby to 3^rd place and the highest scoring stallion, he is shuttled between Australia and the USA for breeding. His offspring earnings is over $250,000, his sire ‘Peptoboonsmal’ has lifetime earnings of $180,487US and offspring earnings over $7,000,000US, his mother Royal Blue Boon has produced some of the greatest horses ever to be shown in the cutting pen.

His dam, ‘Spin N Pep’ was un-shown, but her sire Doc’s Spinifex is the greatest sire Australia will ever see, he’s record and his offspring’s  performance will never be matched.

‘Angel Spin’ a full sister in blood to ‘Spin N Pep’, has reached the final in many aged events, with L.T.E $9,540 , she is trained and shown by Fred Johnston, her dam ‘Colonels Destiny’ was the highest scoring horse in the 1^st go-round in her futurity year.

‘Spin N Peps’ dam ‘Cuttabar Bitsy’ was heavily shown in the mid 90’s with AQHA points in halter, reining, trail and western pleasure. Her sire ‘Cuttabars Colonel’ (IMP) L.T.E $24,000, has AQHA points in cutting, general performance, reining, register of merit in cutting and performance, a superior horse in cutting and a bronze century in cutting. ‘Cuttabar Bitsys’ dam ‘Bit a Bep’ (IMP) L.T.E $1,811US with limited showing also has points in cutting and performance. Her full brother produced a world champion in cutting and performance.

‘Pepped up Spin has all the attributes you look for in a sire; breeding, temperament, conformation, performance. We have foals on the ground by him and all show his temperament, and he has a blue roan filly in the NCHA futurity this year.

Both the trainer and myself are looking forward to riding his progeny, we have weanlings, yearlings and broken two year olds for sale.

Comments from Trainer – Troy Randell

I took over training Pepped up Spin in his 3 yr old year and although started late I don’t think I have ridden a horse that was so progressive with his training. There wasn’t a day where he went backwards. ‘ Norman’ as he is known around our stables for his laid back attitude, so much so, he is used for everything on our 700 acre farm.

One job is leading breakers around and this could be leading a 17hh sour thoroughbred down to a 2 yr old Quarterhorse, he handles anything that’s thrown at him.

He shows all the attributes you look for in a good horse and this doesn’t just apply to cutting. He has a very trainable mind with a big stop, big sweeping move, excellent gait, intelligence and a versatile physique.

I have bred all my mares to him as I believe with his ability and breeding he is the making of an excellent sire, on both top and bottom sides he is from a long list of performing families.

We already have young stock on the ground by him and have started breaking in the eldest of them.
