Smooth Talkin Style sells as a stallion whose foals are already doing the heavy lifting. Total progeny earnings are already at $9,390,419 and rising. They are winning where it matters and doing it in different arenas, which is why he sits #6 in the QData Leading Cow Horse sires, Top 10 Leading Cutting sires and was the Leading Freshman Sire of 2020. For a buyer, this is a plug-in stallion with a record in front of him.
Storyteler put a national spotlight on this sire’s offspring with the 2024 American Performance Horseman Open Cutting title, part of a $383,249 record that also includes splits for third at The Run For A Million Cutting Challenge and the NCHA Super Stakes Open Derby, plus third in the Super Stakes Open Classic. After the APH win, Adan Banuelos told Quarter Horse News that the horse “shows up to work as if it’s his personal playground,” a daily engine that matches the way the results stack up.
Baby Talk adds a commercial page with shape and sense. She was fourth in the NCHA Open Futurity and came back to win the NCHA Amateur Derby, then kept building. After an Abilene Spectacular win in 2022, Lloyd Cox told Quarter Horse News, “She’s cowy, she’s smart. She’s got a lot of eye appeal,” and, “It’s hard to have runs like today every time but she’s such a nice mare, she’s one you should do well on.” The read matches the record and the sire’s pattern.
Playful Smoothtalker shows speed with judgment. He was an NCHA Open Futurity finalist, then swept the NCHA Intermediate Open and Limited Open Futurities on the way to $313,241. Colt Moore framed the moment in Quarter Horse News: “I’ve never felt a horse go that fast and be that smart in that big of a moment.” That is mental quickness passed on.
A Shoot N Star adds depth in a different lane. With $312,326 and the NCHA Super Stakes Limited Non Pro Classic Championship, he shows that this line works in Non Pro hands just as well. That accessibility is part of why these foals place well in a variety of barns.
Reys Talkin carries a record that travels. He posted third in the NCHA Limited Non Pro Futurity and a Reserve Championship at the Cascades Cutting Non Pro Classic, part of $290,791 in earnings. The pattern is durability and decision making across venues, which is a practical value in a long season.
Speak Easie is proof that pressure does not have to change form. He is the NCHA Limited Open Derby Champion, third at Arbuckle Mountain’s Open Derby, and stands at $244,734. The profile reads repeatable rather than a single spike, which is exactly what programs need from a sire that is scaling.
Gingersnaps is a closer. She won the NCHA Open Derby and added Open Derby titles at the Breeders Invitational, Arbuckle Mountain, and the PCCHA on the way to $219,416. After posting a 230 to win the PCCHA Derby, Morgan Cromer told Quarter Horse News, “That could have been the best run I’ve ever had, especially on a 4-year-old.”
Talkin Reycy puts a season-long marker on the page. Earnings of $211,337 pair with the 2024 NCHA $5,000 Novice Horse Non Pro World Championship. That kind of title depends on a mind that holds together across a show season, which is consistent with the rest of the record.
SJR Talkin Diamonds proves the range claim. He won the 2024 American Performance Horseman Open Working Cow Horse and sits at $203,712. Corey Cushing told Quarter Horse News, “He’s got so much class, he’s got so much presence. He knows how to put his body in the place he needs to be.
The reach continues beyond cutting. WhatUTalkinAbout was NSHA Open Futurity Reserve Champion on $102,159. Hez Talkin Smack won the 2025 RFA Tie-Down Roping High Stakes Slot Open and stands at $124,821. These are useful signals for buyers who want options in cow horse and timed events along with cutting.
An earner of $305,284 and NCHA Horse of the Year, Smooth Talkin Style is by Smooth As A Cat, the QData and NCHA #5 All-Time Leading Cutting Sire, and out of Stylish Play Lena, the QData nd NCHA #4 All-Time Leading Cutting Dam. The record matters, but the proof is in the get. Buyers step into a program where the foals are producing now and the pipeline is active.
What matters is repeatability. Different arenas, different jobs, the same result. The progeny of Smooth Talkin Style are winning now, and the next crop is close behind with lucrative incentive eligibilities like Breeders Invitational, NCHA Super Stakes, PCCHA, Gold Buckle Futurities, NRCHA Cow Horse Incentive, Royal Crown Roping, Chrome Cash and National Reining Breeders Classic. That is the kind of momentum a program can use on day one. He sells September 29, 2025 in the Absolute Dispersal of Teton Ridge Performance Horses with Western Bloodstock.
