LEITACHIC

Leitachic-2093-edited-1.jpg

Leitachic – or Tex as he’s known to his friends and family – is a class act. He is a World Champion reiner, both in NRHA competition and in AQHA shows. He also has respectable earnings in the NRCHA, and his offspring tend to be very cowy.

 

Like his sire, Smart Chic Olena, Tex excels in a variety of disciplines. He was hauled and shown all over the country for ten years and never lost that spark. He was as honest and full of try in his last show in 2013 at Ardmore, OK (where he marked a 148.5!) as he was at the beginning of his career.

 

Ridden by Bob Avila, he dominated the reining at the 2004 National Reined Cow Horse Association Futurity in Reno to become the Preliminary Open Rein Work Champion. (You can read about it here: Bob Avila & Leitachic Top NRCHA Snaffle Bit Open Rein Prelims). He was chosen at the last minute to represent Canada for the FEI World Reining Masters Final, placing 4th against contenders from all over the world. In his “retirement,” and with only a couple of schooling sessions, he won the Cutting in the Washington State High School Rodeo Finals short go. Not bad for an old-timer.

Leitachic is passing on athleticism, cow, trainability, correct conformation, personality, and time will tell, but likely his own longevity and soundness through time.
