proud breeders of apha reined cow horses
Dun It Strait Delta - 2016 APHA bay tobiano mare
"Gemma"
Gemma is a fantastic addition to our herd. We purchased her in June of 2023, and she arrive at the ranch in July. Gemma is a daughter of NRHA money earner Dun It Strait (Hollywood Dun It x dtr of Strait From Texas). In fact, per Equistat reports, Dun It Strait is the highest money earning tobiano son of Hollywood Dun It! We have been fans of her sire for several years and had considered breeding our favorite mare to him in the past.

Gemma’s dam is Deltas Spicy Diamonds, dam of NRCHA money earner and APHA Champion reined cow horse Spooks Delta Dude. Spooks Delta Dude is currently the Equistat #1 APHA reined cow horse sire. Deltas Spicy Diamonds was destined for the show pen too but was injured her first year into training. She only had two foals in her lifetime, making our Gemma the only maternal sibling to Spooks Delta Dude, and the only mare out Deltas Spicy Diamonds. Perhaps the most notable thing about Gemma’s bottom side is that every single horse in her 4-generation pedigree is a NCHA money earner, a producer or both!
Gemma stands 14.1 hands and has a nice thick build. She’s had one month of training under saddle.
Genetic testing
Ee, to/TO negative for HYPP, HERDA, GBED, MH and PSSM1. While she is registered as bay dun, we don’t see dun characteristics. We will be testing her agouti, dun and IMM statuses soon.

Gemma is one of the horses we would consider parting with. She is easy to breed and get in foal. She had 30 days of riding training when we purchased her in 2023, but we have not ridden her. She stands well in stocks for vet work and AI, requires no maintenance and is an easy keeper. She tends to be lower position in our herd's hierarchy. She does get upset when alone and seems to do best when kept with a friend. For additional photos, videos or questions, please email us at 4lineranch@gmail.com.
