Pauls Marathon Sorrel 1977

The American quarter horse is renowned for its wonderful quiet and laid-back temperament, and incredible trainability, yet it is known as the fastest horse in the world over quarter of a mile. The breed whilst numerically small in the UK competes in disciplines ranging from Dressage to Mounted games, or side saddle to eventing. For those wanting a sensible, reliable, highly intelligent, safe mount with the benefit of quality looks, an incredible turn of speed and agility there can be no better.

Temperament
Chic temperament is superb and very laid back. He has been a delight to handle and when in the close proximity of the farm machinery completely ignores it. We have previously found that this is a very good indication of the base temperament of a horse. Yet he still possesses that essential spark that he will pass on to his foals and allow them to excel in all fields of work or competition. He has outstanding breeding, sired by the world famous stallion Smart Chic Olena sire who has offspring with winnings in excess of $9 million.

Chic's brothers
Chic is one of five brothers who between them have two world championship and three reserve worlds. They are highly unusual winning at the top in cattle cutting, working cow horse and roping as well as reining. The brothers are world-class winners, yet super natured so able to teach an 8 year old girl to ride off lead, or compete with youth riders. Their winnings include the "world's greatest horseman" and "worlds richest stock horse" titles (Reining/ Cutting/working cow horse and roping) World Equestrian Games 2006 bronze winner.

His Sire: Smart Chic Olena
Not every stallion can be a world champion, let alone one of the top sires of his breed. But a flashy sorrel American Quarter Horse named Smart Chic Olena is all that...and more. An equine Michael Jordan, this 15-hand, blaze-faced marvel is the only horse in history to earn American Quarter Horse Association world championships in both cutting and reining! With career earnings totaling $167,471, Chic was retired to stud in 1993. He immediately established his dominance in that field as well, siring look-alike world champions and futurity winners who have earned millions in reining, cutting, and reined cow horse events. Today, Smart Chic Olena remains one of the breed's top all-around performance sires.
