Overview:
Sun Of Hercules (ET) is a 2017 Australian Quarter Horse stallion, foaled via embryo transfer on 10 December 2017.
Sired by cutting champion One Stylish Pepto and out of the imported High Brow Cat mare Leoetta The Lioness, he was bred for elite performance genetics.
Owned by James and Oliver Salerno, he is currently being campaigned in cow horse and campdraft events, including the 2023 Two-Handed Cow Horse Classic with Oliver Salerno aboard.
As of 2025, he holds no major titles but is establishing himself as a promising sire with progeny already under saddle.
Highlights:
Sun Of Hercules carries a rich mix of modern cutting and foundational performance genetics.
His sire line merges Peptoboonsmal (through Peptos Stylish Oak) with Australia’s legendary mare One Moore Spin. His dam line brings in High Brow Cat and Smart Little Lena.
The pedigree features multiple crosses to Doc Bar, appearing through Doc’s Hickory, Doc O’Lena, Doc’s Oak, and Son Ofa Doc.
Miss Leoetta (maternal line) is a daughter of AQHA Hall of Famer Leo, reinforcing the Leo/Doc Bar blend known for power and agility.
Sun Of Hercules’s grandsires Peptoboonsmal and High Brow Cat both earned over $100,000 and have sired champions worldwide.
This genetic combination — with Smart Little Lena and Peppy San Badger recurring throughout — is built for producing athletic, trainable, cow-smart progeny.
