INCENTIVES: IQHA Ranch Horse Futurity, NRCHA Incentive, South Dakota NRCHA Stallion Stakes

Gone but not forgotten. CD Dyna Cee’s untimely death as a young sire was a blow to the Hockensons in 2022, but his dynasty continues to flourish. He sired the defending Snaffle Bit Limited Open Champion HQ Time To Shine, as well as a top-four finisher in Sr Heading at the latest AQHA World Show–HQ Blondes Love Me.  

CD Dyna Cee (“Lights”) was by $5 million sire and NCHA World Champion CD Lights, and out of ARC Dyna Cee. She’s by ARC Matt Olena and out of Hickorys Holly Cee. 

The stallion, a former Snaffle Bit Futurity competitor, won more than $26,500 in NRCHA, NRHA and ARHFA paychecks, plus earned 168 AQHA points in 10 different AQHA disciplines. He was a 2017 Superhorse contender, with a Superior in Jr Heading that same year, in which he was also SDRCHA Jr Cow Horse of the Year. An injury forced his show career to end at age 6. 

At 14.3 and thick, CD Dyna Cee had “the prettiest front end on a cow horse” that Reid had ever seen.  

The second-highest leading stallion in the IQHA Ranch Horse Futurity, he sired the 2019 IQHA Ranch Horse Futurity High-Point Yearling, the High-Point 2-Year-Old and the 2024 champion Halter Yearling. That’s in addition to siring HQ Blondes Love Me, the working cow horse that was also the 2023 AQHA World Champion in L2 Jr Heading under Cort Jones and 4^th in the Sr Heeling with John Philipp. Lights also sired HQ BlondesROverrated, the AQHA Reserve World Champion in Jr Tie-Down Roping.
