Once In A Blu Boon is a stallion that embodies cutting horse royalty, backed by an unbeatable pedigree and an exceptional show record. Sired by Peptoboonsmal, one of the cutting horse industry’s most influential sires with over $25 million in offspring earnings, and out of the legendary Autumn Boon, who boasts $2,039,599 in progeny earnings and her own lifetime earnings of $258,185, Once In A Blu Boon is destined for greatness.
Autumn Boon’s back-to-back NCHA Super Stakes wins in 1998 and 1999 make her one of the most revered dams in cutting, and she is currently ranked the #5 All-Time Leading Dam by Equi-Stat for 2024. With such a powerhouse lineage, it’s no wonder Once In A Blu Boon has carved out an impressive career of his own.
From his early days dominating the 2011 NCHA Futurity, to a career-defining run in 2014 that saw him take home major titles from the Summer Spectacular to the AQHA Sr. Cutting World Championship, Once In A Blu Boon is the epitome of a champion.
