The Big Gun is a World Champion, a Reserve World Champion, a multiple Derby champion, a class champion, a money earner and a point earner. Out of over 300 Gunner foals, there are only a handful of Tobiano sons of Gunner. The Big Gun is the ONLY Gunner foal who is a breeding Bay Tobiano Stallion by Gunner and the only one with his titles, accomplishments and heritage.

The Big Gun's Sire is NRHA Hall of Fame inductee Colonels Smokingun (Gunner).  He is a USET Gold Medalist, USEF Champion, NRHA Futurity Res. Champion and a World Champion Reining Sire.  He is also the highest earning Paint in NRHA history.  The Big Gun's Dam, Cactus Christy, is a multiple APHA World Champion and the dam of three NRHA Open Futurity Finalists.

Thanks to Stone Canyon Ranch and Clint & Liz Haverty for allowing us to continue on with The Big Gun.  Diamond MR Ranch is dedicated to carrying on the tradition of success in the show ring as well as in the breeding barn.  Clint Haverty with The Big Gun...

   

There is no doubt that The Big Gun has royal bloodlines but he is also unique and priceless on his own.
