Mr Gun Smoke

Multi-Hall of Fame Foundation Sire · Dam of Miss White Trash · 2008
Mr Gun Smoke was an AQHA Superior cutting horse with wide-blaze Paint markings — a horse who competed in cutting and whose daughters produced some of the greatest reining horses of all time. He was inducted into the NRCHA Hall of Fame in 1980, the NRHA Hall of Fame in 2008, and the AQHA Hall of Fame in 2016. His most famous reining daughter is Miss White Trash (HOF 1993), dam of Trashadeous (HOF 1996) — through whom the line flows directly to Gunnatrashya ($16M sire, HOF 2023). As maternal grandsire, his daughters' offspring have earned $862,454 in NRHA competition alone.
