The Beginning -
When we purchased Gotta Lotta Bud in 2015 we never intended to stand him nationally. Nonetheless, we received countless messages and calls from interested parties. We decided to breed three of our mares as a test run; the results were phenomenal and it was only the beginning.
The Forzani’s -
We began our search for a stallion station. We were put in contact with Debbie and Doug Forzani, and the rest is history. Over the years the Forzani family has taken excellent care of Bud. We were able to partner with colleges, universities and young trainers by donating breedings. The Forzanis were always there for our customers, and for us. They truly made it possible. Thank you!
The Next Chapter -
With the birth of our first child in 2020, horses started to take a back seat in life. However, Bud is the type of horse that deserves to be at the forefront. Although Bud was never for sale, we always had interested parties. As our life started a new chapter, we decided it was time for Bud to start one as well. We narrowed down the best fit for him, and chose his new home.

Gotta Lotta Bud is a bay roan son of NRCHA Million Dollar Sire Nic It In The Bud. Nic It In The Bud earned $148,765 on his way to an NRCHA Open Derby Championship and World’s Greatest Horseman Reserve Championship. There are only five sires that are NRCHA Million Dollar Sires and NRHA Million Dollar Sires, and Nic It In The Bud is in line to be the sixth. Bud has a great mind, and ton of try. He is a very balanced horse, with a beautiful head. Gotta Lotta Bud has the pedigree, mind, conformation and color to give you the foal you’ve been waiting for.
Bud had a pasture injury at two that halted his training. Due to his injury, he has a scar around his right front foot. He was then sold and used as a breeding stallion in Idaho. He was owned by a ranch, in ranch horse country. This ranch raised foals and sold them as yearlings at a production sale, in conjunction with other area ranches. He came to us in April of 2015 and immediately went to work. We sat on his back for the first time in 4 years and began training him as we would a 2 year old. Bud took training extremely well, and we soon realized his foot did not bother him. He acts like a gentlemen on the ground, and most people think he's a gelding. Bud is quiet, respectful, patient, athletic and does everything we ask of him. If these sound like qualities you like in a horse, please consider breeding to Gotta Lotta Bud.
