Purdy Bossy was a young futurity hopeful, when we brought him home to the ranch. He had been training with Dale Clearwater of Just About A Ranch and already showing potential.
This 5 year old stallion is by CD Lights and out of Purdy Metallica, (Metallic Cat x Purdy Bet). He was raised by Dr. Dan Watkins, DVM. of Texas and remains a favourite of Watkins' colts. We had decided to call him "Boss" at the barn before discovering that his sire had that same barn name.
​
With a little more perspective, we now think his barn name, BOSS, really suits him.
​​
Boss' sire:​
CD Lights became a million dollar sire in 2017, earning $234,000 in five seasons of NCHA competition.
He was a finalist at the NCHA Futurity Open in 2002 and in the NCHA Derby Open in 2003.
In 2006 he was awarded NCHA World Champion Stallion, the 2006 World Finals Open Champion and NCHA Open Reserve Champion, after which he was retired.
He has numerous successful offspring in both NCHA and NRCHA whose earnings exceed $5,7 million.
Boss' dam:
Purdy Metallica suffered a broken shoulder from a kick at pasture as a weanling. She was taken in by Dr. Watkins and nursed back to health but she was never sound to ride. This mare was able to breed and carry to term.
She has produced 3 foals to date, with Purdy Bossy being the first of them.
Purdy Metallica is by the NRCHA's first ever $5 million dollar sire, Metallic Cat. His top offspring include Call Me Mitch, Metallic Train, Cats Picasso, Ricato Suave, Hazardouz Material and MoonshineAndTwoAdvil, all of which have earned over $100,000 in the NRCHA.
Purdy Metallica is out of Purdy Bet, finalist in the Breeders Inv. Open Classic; 7th in the Idaho Open Classic; recipient of the AQHA Open ROM.

As a 5 year old, Boss has another year to compete in the Derby and Hackamore classes. We are anxious to see what he does this summer. Watch for him at the Cow Town Derby!
​
We will be training Boss to collect for breeding early next year. Let us know if you are interested in one of his limited breedings in 2026. His schedule will be limited to allow him to compete but if the timing works, you could have one of the first Boss babies!​​​​
