Sire: Ima Smooth Blue Cat

Ima Smooth Blue Cat is the most impeccably bred cutting stallion to come to Australia with bloodlines full of Hall Of Fame horses. He is sired by Smooth As A Cat – the number one son of the world’s number one leading cutting horse producing stallion, High Brow Cat.  His dam is Autumn Boon – the number one daughter of the world’s number one producing mare of all time – Royal Blue Boon.

In December 2010, Leanne Haywood travelled to Fort Worth, Texas for the NCHA Futurity Western Bloodstock Sales where she first saw and fell in love with the blue roan colt Ima Smooth Blue Cat.  When this stunning horse was bought back at the Invitational Sale for no less than $145,000, Leanne approached the owners and negotiated a price.  At two years of age, Smoothy was at a perfect age to start a promising cutting career in Australia and he arrived at Electrified Cutting Horses in June 2011.

Smoothy went on to have a stellar cutting career in Australia and to breed further generations of exceptional cutters as well.

Dam: Boontown Blues

Boontown Blues (paddock name Blueberry) was bred by Jeff Eddie out of his good mare Jessies Suzanna by Peppy Boontown (IMP).  Blueberry grew to be a very talented cutting horse and competed at the 2013 NCHA Open Futurity with Matt Barbour.  Unfortunately after that, she contracted big head and retired to be a broodmare.

She was then leased by Leanne Haywood and put in foal to Ima Smooth Blue Cat.  This resulted in the birth of Im Smooth N Blue (paddock name Blue Girl) in 2015.  Blue Girl was purchased by Valley End Quarter Horses as a 6 week old filly and then subsequently Valley End Quarter Horses also purchased Blueberry.  Blue Girl won the NCHA Limited Open Futurity in 2019 and went on to win and place in many cutting show events in Queensland after that.

Blueberry went back in foal to Ima Smooth Blue Cat again for a 2017 red roan colt named Smooth Jessie and then back in foal again to Smoothy for Titanium Blue to be born in 2019.

The trifecta to Smoothy!  What an amazing cross!!
