His offspring are making their mark in the show pen with multiple futurity and derby championships. Proudly owned by Scooter Kat Partners, Scooter Kat stands at Santa Lucia Farm Inc. and was trained and shown throughout his career by Justin Wright.
As a West Coast stallion whose offspring continue to make their mark in the show pen, Scooter Kat is a fitting partner for Reno's reined cow horse community. Reno Snaffle Bit Futurity is grateful for its long-term partnership with Scooter Kat Partners and for Scooter Kat's continued investment in the sport's next generation.
The sponsorship comes during a period of significant growth for Reno. The event doubled in size in 2024 with the addition of the Derby, then set new benchmarks in 2025 with more than $700,000 in payouts, its largest Futurity field and its largest Western Trade Show lineup to date.
