WCh. Smyrnoff++++

Smyrnoff is our resident rocket man. He is beautiful, athletic and as typey as they come, with a charisma that charms all who meet him.

With a beautiful head, dark expressive eyes, pretty tipped ears, lovely arched neck, smooth body, great legs, high tail carriage, lots of charisma, Smyrnoff's heritage is unmistakable. He is bred from some of the most exceptional Egyptian bloodlines with a particularly heavy influence of early import Nazeer through a number of his sons and daughters. Smyrnoff is a member of the American Nazeer sireline through his American-bred grandson, Prince Fa Moniet.

This fabulous straight Egyptian stallion was bred by Blackjack Performance Horses, a breeding and training enterprise known for producing some of Counter Canter's leading Arabian reining horses. He is sired by leading reining sire Grey Goose Vodka and out of the ESA Adlai mare, Djinn. Both of his parents are accomplished competitors who have earned their Silver Buckles from the TRS and his dam has earned her Adventurer title from the Endurance Guild.

Like his parents, Smyrnoff has shown a natural aptitude for reining and has enjoyed an abundance of success in his early career. Taking to the ring in early Season 2, Smyrnoff quickly picked up the pace and garnered his TRS Bronze Buckle and Grand Champion title, placing as champion or reserve champion six times, by season's end. He is expressive and relaxed when showing, allowing his natural movement and charisma to shine through and delight judges and spectators alike. He is a joy to see work and we look forward to several years of watching him shine.
