Few mares have impacted the sport of cutting more than the 1980 blue roan mare, Royal Blue Boon. Not only was she a great performer, earning over $380,000 in the cutting events, but her produce earnings are what earned her top billing as the Leading All-time Dam in the NCHA .
The progeny of this mare was so great that when the AQHA refused to register embryo transfer foals it was her owners that filed suit and won, allowing her to be bred to multiple stallions in one year and imparting an even great impact on the sport as a whole.
Royal Blue Boon had 18 foals, 17 of which went on to perform and between them earned over 2.4 million in the cutting pen.

Royal Blue Boon was a talented mare with some freaky blood that stamped her get with greatness.... she was so great, in fact that some folks saw fit to clone her! But that's a subject for another day!
Ahhh thanks for this post. I love this mare. I do not love her owner who cloned her, that is wrong. Anyways, RBB put roanies in the cutting pen and has shown what true mare power is. Great Post!!
ReplyDeleteI love the "blue hen" mares. If a person stops to think how incredible a mare had to be to hit that list. A mare gets relatively few chances to make an impact in the horse world compared to a stallion.
ReplyDeleteHer owners definitely pushed the limits of what we all consider "normal or accepted". I can't say that I was pleased with the courts for allowing multiple embroyo transfer foals to be registered, but honestly, personal beliefs aside, for the majority, the mares that do have that done are exceptional mares. And as you say, the whole cloning deal is an entirely seperate discussion.
She was a beautiful mare wasn't she?
Nice mare, but I can now see where Peptoboonsmal got his unsightly head. That Duals Blue Boon sure looks nice though, and she did pass on athleticism as well. :)
