2017 Weanling AQHA Colt

Bruce (AQHA registration pending: NCSU Leos Bartender) is a colt born February 9, 2017. He was weaned May 18th and has been eating hay and grain well. Bruce is up to date on deworming and hoof care and will receive his first round of core vaccinations on June 9th (at 4 months of age). Bruce has been handled weekly since birth and has been working on leading, picking up his hooves, and grooming. He has a classic stocky Quarter Horse build and has been pleasant to work with. Bruce's sire, BB Leo Hangten Peppy, is a buckskin stallion with his Register of Merit in reining. He also finished in the top five at Congress on three separate occasions. Bruce's grandsire, Hang Ten Surprize, earned over $133,000 at NRHA competitions and has multiple champion and reserve champion titles. Bruce's dam, Rockin Hot Barmaid, is a brown mare that competed as a barrel racer. She is on site and can be viewed by appointment. Bruce will be sold via sealed bid auction from the NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine's Teaching Animal Unit. Bids will be accepted June 12-23, 2017. Weekday appointments can be made to view Bruce (and his dam, if desired) in person during that time period as well.
