INCENTIVES: Riata Championship, Royal Crown, HPI (Pitzer Ranch Horse Invitational)

Probably A Shiner, just 9 years old, is one of the winningest junior stallions today and one of very few horses to have won both ends of the AQHA Junior Team Roping at the World Show in the same year. He won the Jr Heading and Jr Heeling, worth $27,184, in 2022 under J.D. Yates—the same year they also won the Royal Crown heeling futurity. 

The buckskin stallion’s broodmare sire, With All Probability, nearly did the same thing in 2005, winning the heading and a reserve championship in heeling under Kory Koontz to become that year’s Superhorse—also the winningest performance stallion in AQHA history.

Probably A Shiner has earned points over the course of his young show career in tie-down roping and working cowhorse, as well. He’s by another AQHA World Champion Senior Heel Horse—the program’s own Smart Nu Shiner, now standing in Brazil.

“He’s so easy to show,” said owner Mike Van Egdom. “He’s had a nice temperament from the day he hit the ground.” 

Probably A Shiner has had such a well-rounded career that Van Egdom is likely keeping him in the breeding barn for good.
