The business of breeding reining horses is having a moment in the national spotlight.
Michael Miola, owner of Silver Spurs Equine, spoke with the New York Times about the workings of his Scottsdale, Arizona-based operation, which he told the Times has 100 mares and 34 stallions spread between Arizona and Oklahoma.
The Silver Spurs stallion roster – which swelled last year with the acquisition of Xtra Quarter Horses, of Purcel, Oklahoma – includes Equi-Stat Elite $10 Million Sire Wimpys Little Step and Equi-Stat Elite $1 Million Sire Spooks Gotta Gun, as well as Pale Face Dunnit, sire of the 2017 National Reining Horse Association Futurity Level 4 Open Champion Face The Attitude.
The article published Friday by Times reporter Paul Sullivan also interviewed breeders in the jumping, dressage and racing businesses.
