COWPLAY QUEEN
Sorrel AQHA Mare • Waggoner Ranch Branded • Proven Head & Heel Horse
Cowplay Queen is a beautiful sorrel mare with the kind of pedigree that speaks loudly before she ever steps into the arena. A daughter of Cowplay and out of Queen Me Peppy, she carries a powerful concentration of legendary cutting and ranch-horse blood while also wearing the famous Waggoner Ranch brand.
Her sire line brings in the great Freckles Playboy, one of the most influential cutting horse sires of all time. Freckles Playboy was the 1977 AQHA World Champion Junior Cutting Horse, an NCHA Futurity Co-Reserve Champion, and later became an AQHA Hall of Fame stallion. His offspring earned tens of millions in NCHA competition, making him one of the most dominant sires in performance Quarter Horse history.
On the bottom side, Cowplay Queen is by a daughter of Peppy San Badger, the legendary “Little Peppy.” Little Peppy won the 1977 NCHA Futurity, the NCHA Derby, and became one of the most important King Ranch sires ever. His foals earned more than $25 million, proving his impact generation after generation.
Her pedigree also features Smart Little Lena, the first NCHA Triple Crown Champion and one of the most iconic cutting horses ever bred. Smart Little Lena earned over $743,000 in only eight shows and became a breed-changing sire whose influence still dominates cutting, cow horse, and ranch performance pedigrees today.
Behind him stands Doc O’Lena, the 1970 NCHA Futurity Open Champion and another AQHA Hall of Fame legend. Doc O’Lena helped define the modern cutting horse and sired generations of elite performers, including Smart Little Lena.
Cowplay Queen is not just paper-pretty — she has proven herself under saddle as both a head horse and heel horse, showing the versatility, mind, athletic ability, and grit expected from her bloodlines. With Freckles Playboy, Peppy San Badger, Smart Little Lena, Doc O’Lena, Mr San Peppy, Jewel’s Leo Bars, and Gay Jay close up on her papers, she represents a remarkable blend of historic ranch breeding and world-class performance genetics.
She is the kind of mare that preserves what made the Quarter Horse great: cow sense, try, soundness, intelligence, and the ability to go do a real job.
