DFN SPOOKY CAT
Sorrel Tovero GELDING May 24, 2015
"Larry" as he's currently being called at the ranch is out of my Omega Kitty mare, who is a daughter of the great High Brow Cat, and he’s sired by none other than my APHA sire SPOOKS DELTA DUDE. That means, that this little guy, is a grandson of both High Brow Cat and Spooks Gotta Gun.
Larry has been in training with Tyler Darroch of Darroch Performance Horses and had an exceptional start to his show career in 2018 and has been showing in Cow Horse Derby’s in 2019 & 2020.
