INCENTIVES: Royal Crown, Riata Championship, Colorado Classic

SEVS Judgement Day is perhaps the most exclusive opportunity in all of team roping, with only limited frozen semen available by application only in 2025. 

The gray stallion first saw success with Hillary Hilzendeger in the barrels and Cody Hilzendeger in the heading. When life changed for his then-owners in the fall of 2023, SEVS Judgement Day sold to 2020 PRCA World Champion Header Colby Lovell at the Barrel Futurities of America Sale. 

“I thought he was a real-deal head horse from the first steer I ran on him,” Lovell said. “He can go anywhere, and I think he can be one of the best head horses at the highest level.” 

Lovell took him to the Clay Logan Open, where he turned plenty of heads. Two days later, Summers tried the horse, and four days later, he and Marshall owned him. 

“He looked like exactly the kind of horse I want to ride when my money is up,” Summers said. “He scores, he can really run, but he stays in control and handles the cow. He’s a freak facing. I wanted Colby to continue to season him because it’s obvious he was doing all the right things. Our goal is to showcase him on all the biggest stages in the sport and offer him to select mares that will continue to elevate the rope horse game.”
