Reference Sires and Mares
Our philosophy... when it comes to breeding... we look for great individuals, but we look for GREAT INDIVIDUALS WITH THE ABILITY TO PRODUCE. Although, I have not been able to find every picture of every horse in his pedigree. If you open the thumbnail, you will see each of these horses accomplishments. You will see their production records have out weighed even their tremendous titles. If you have any other photos that would fit into this aea, we would sure welcome them! This area represents several well thought out breeding programs and broought to one place. Thanks for looking!

Our breeding philosophy~breed the best to the best. We include title holders in our breeding, but more important PRODUCERS! All of our foals are for sale. We breed our mares with the expectation each foal would be the kind we would keep in our breeding program or be the quality to show at a World and National Level. We believe that if you get a foal from Smith Show Horses there will be fewer surprises and higher expectations. We take that commitment seriously!
If you have ANY questions, please feel free to call or email us.

An Awesome Secret Photos and Video
An Awesome Secret, 2003 ApHC
Photo Taken October 2011

An Awesome Secret is a 2003, 15.3 hh, dark bay stallion. He is HYPP n/n. He is not only a great individual, but he also has World and National producing bloodlines to back him up in the breeding pen. His genetic package includes a huge dose of pretty as well as strong Appaloosa breeding. His pedigree is made up of multiple World and National Champions, but more important…his pedigree is made up of World and National Champion sires and producers.
An Awesome Secret is by The Secret, ApHC, who is syndicated and does not stand to outside mares. The Secret is a leading sire of halter horses and has multiple World and National Champions. An Awesome Secret is one of only a few breeding sons of The Secret currently available. The Secret, himself, is by the Hall of Fame stallion, Dreamfinder. He is out of Kendalite N Roses, ApHC, who holds13 World and National titles and produced a full sister to The Secret that went on to win a World and National title in halter.
An Awesome Secret is out of She’s Pretty Fancy, ApHC. This mare is by Go To Impress and carries the strength on the maternal side to contribute production consistency. She’s Pretty Fancy was raised by Bob Kletschka and she is a full sister to leading halter sire Awe Striker. Her sire Go To Impress, was Reserve World Champion and National Champion as a 2 year old, National Champion as a 3 year old, and came back as a 9 year old and stood National Grand Champion Stallion. She’s Pretty Fancy’s mother is Kelos Tru DeeLite, the first mare to stand Grand Champion Mare as a yearling—a feat she accomplished at the 1990 National Show and since then only a handful have accomplished this. This combination has produced that pretty dished face and large eye over and over again. She is a full sister to Awe Striker.
Additional bloodlines in the first three generations of An An Awesome Secret include: Alias King, ApHC; Aztec Fanci Frani, AQHA; Kendall’s Reward, ApHC; Classical Rose, AQHA by Do Do Chick; Goer, ApHC; Revenues First, AQHA; Kelo Connection, ApHC; Sonny Sun De Love, AQHA, mare by Sonny Dee Bar.
An Awesome Secret is bred to be balanced and he will cross on your halter mare or rider. Beginning in 2009, any foal produced with 23 registered Appaloosas in the first 4 generations will qualify for Foundation Pedigree Desgination (FPD). An Awesome Secret can contribute 11 outstanding Appaloosa title holders, as well as, World and National Champion producers! No surprises here. The horses in his pedigree have established a track record in production, which, as a breeding animal, is more imporotant as titles they hold.


An Awesome Secret's first foals arrived in 2006. Of the three born, A Secret Romance was a halter futurity winner, and A Secret Melody made her debut at the end of July 2007. A Secret Melody stood Grand Champion Mare as a yearling. Her owner, Chuckie Heim, a non-pro, at that time, had just returned to the ApHC after several years absent from showing. The pair stood sixth at the 2007 World Championship OPEN Longe Line class. This was Chuckies first World Show EVER! Chuckie purchased A Secret Melody as a performance prospect, because of her natural ability to carry her head level and remain naturally collected. She shares our philosophy that a correct and balanced halter horse adds to the final outcome.
