Look at these statistics… and then closely look at them again. Siring statistics and wining percentages are everything when it comes to a stallion’s siring capabilities. Vegaz is not getting any younger — he has sired 197 foals and yet his number of foals to winning offspring ratio keeps going up. Just in 2020 alone Vegaz sired eight National title holders — this is a pretty incredible feat. The question to as yourself is how can you afford to not breed with Vegaz — he’s bred to breed on, he proves time and time again that he out-sires himself and produces horses of the highest quality. Trainability & predictability are essential in a National Champion producing sire and Vegaz continually pushes the numbers of offspring winning the most coveted titles throughout the 18 regions, Scottsdale, U.S. & Canadian Nationals.

The fairy tale story...

After years in the horse business, Ken and Susan Knipe had carved out a niche for themselves that they felt comfortable with. Their kids competed, they kept a relatively small group of high-quality horses, and they were happy with the successes that their family achieved. It seems that fate had something else in mind for the Knipes, though, and they began to get a glimpse of it when Shan and Chris Wilson and Leah Beth Boyd called to tell them about a horse named Vegaz that they had seen at an Addis Auction. “This c**t came up and had a great hind end, and he appeared to have motion,” Chris Wilson says. “We thought he was pretty enough and necky enough; Ken could re-sell him at the very least.”

Ken agreed to buy the c**t, then 2 years old, but it was quite some time before he saw the horse. When he did, however, he knew he had made the right decision. “When I first saw him, he absolutely blew me away with his talent and beauty,” Ken says. It was also quite some time before he told Susan that he’d bought Vegaz, as four months passed before she found the check stub. “I was just of the opinion that, ‘we have enough horses, we don’t need another horse,’” Susan says. “That was my mantra.” Ken and Susan both look back on the situation with a hearty laugh now, even though Susan says that she was definitely “not a happy camper.” All it took was for her to see the bay c**t to make any upset melt away. “When I saw him, I was like, ‘Wow! We need to keep him!’ she says. “All was forgiven when I saw him and realized he was a great horse.”

The judges at the U.S. Nationals obviously concurred when they crowned him National Champion in the English Pleasure Futurity. That win brought Vegaz to the forefront of the minds of English pleasure enthusiasts in the industry, but the Knipes decided to let the c**t have a year out of the limelight, and let him pass his fourth year without setting foot in the show ring. “We just turned him out, let him be a horse,” Ken says. “I thought it was good for his maturity and his mind.” At the same time, they were also gearing up to enable Vegaz to take the next step in his career—breeding.

More than 30 mares were bred to the promising young stallion, and now those foals are hitting the ground trotting. Chris Wilson says that the response to the youngsters has been overwhelmingly positive. “Every time that a person had gotten a foal by him, I’d call them, and their comments would be crazy good,” Wilson says. “I feel like this first foal crop is exceptionally good for a first foal crop, let alone any foal crop.” He adds that owners are seeing in the foals the same qualities that make Vegaz such an appealing individual—short backs, long front legs, low-set hocks, extremely upright necks and pretty faces with tippy ears and good expression. “There are strong qualities about this horse’s physique that allows him to have an open range of motion from his shoulder, and strength and balance from behind,” Wilson says. “He’s passing on all of those qualities that allow these horses to do what we want them to do.”
