Overview:
Hustle Like a Cat is a chestnut Quarter Horse mare, foaled on 28 September 2012.
Bred and initially trained by the Darragh family in New South Wales, she is by the imported cutting stallion Winderadeen On The Prowl and out of the proven broodmare Docs Snippet.
As a 3-year-old, Hustle Like a Cat competed in the 2015 NCHA Snafflebit Cutting Futurity — a prestigious Australian event often referred to as the “Greatest Show on Horse” — where she gained foundational experience in the cutting pen.
Though she did not go on to accumulate a decorated show record, her pedigree, structure, and cow sense marked her as a promising addition to a serious performance program.
Now owned by James and Oliver Salerno, she serves as a broodmare prospect contributing elite bloodlines to Salerno Stud’s future generations.
Highlights:
Hustle Like a Cat’s bloodlines are laden with celebrated cutting horse sires and proven performance genetics.
Her sire, Winderadeen On The Prowl, is a son of Intricatolena, a $220,000 import by the legendary High Brow Cat, the all-time leading sire of cutting horses. His offspring have earned over $87 million.
This top line infuses Hustle Like a Cat’s pedigree with the potent High Brow Hickory × Smart Little Lena “magic cross” through High Brow Cat, as well as the influence of Doc O’Lena (via Shorty Lena, sire of Shortys Badgerlena).
On the bottom side, D Bar Stylish Anna brings in the renowned Peptos Stylish Oak, combining Peptoboonsmal and Docs Stylish Oak blood. Her dam, D Bar Gabriela, adds a trace of classic Australian Stock Horse heritage via the Kildonan line.
Her dam, Docs Snippet, carries double doses of the immortal Doc Bar through her sire line (Doc Oday by Clarks Doc Bar) and further back in the dam’s lineage.
This side also contributes performance ranch lines like Peppy San and Tonto Bars Gill (via Smarty Card, sire of Smarty Glo), and foundation influences like Poco Bueno.
Together, these lines give Hustle Like a Cat a balanced pedigree steeped in cutting horse royalty — from High Brow Cat and Peptoboonsmal to Doc Bar — all of which bodes well for her future as a performance horse and broodmare.
