She is by Shine Chic Shine, an NRHA Open Champion and NRHA Multi-Million Dollar Sire, whose offspring continue to dominate the reining industry.

The influence of Reminic, an NRHA Hall of Fame horse and Million Dollar Sire, is recognized throughout the performance horse industry for passing on athleticism, trainability, and exceptional cow sense.

Aurora has proven her own ability in the show pen as an NRHA Novice Horse Non Pro Reserve Champion, showcasing the talent, willingness, and trainability that define her pedigree.

Today, Aurora is a cornerstone of our broodmare program at Holt Ranch LLC. She combines elite genetics, proven performance, correct conformation, and a quiet, willing disposition that make her everything we value in a performance horse. We are excited to see her influence carried forward through future generations, producing foals with the athletic ability, minds, and versatility to excel in reining, ranch versatility, cow horse, and beyond.
