Nov. 10, 2009 - PRLog -- First there was Scamper, the legendary barrel racing horse of 11-time World Champion Charmayne James.

Now comes Clayton, an identical genetic match to Scamper.

January 2010 marks the second year that Clayton is available for breeding. 2008 was Clayton’s first breeding year and proved that Clayton is an exceptional choice for successfully breading healthy offspring passing on the characteristic traits of his bloodline.

The first breeding season was a huge success, according to James. “Currently, Clayton has one offspring on the ground that is healthy and remarkably similar to Clayton with many characteristic traits of Scamper. We also have a number of healthy pregnancies with foals on the way,” she notes,

“When we began this journey, we were hopeful that Clayton would not only successfully breed but also produce healthy offspring. We now have full evidence that both can be done with excellent results and are excited for what the future holds for each horse.”

All who have seen Clayton firsthand agree that he shows the signs for potential greatness. Besides the obvious athleticism that is clearly evident, both Clayton and his offspring have proven easy to train and have the air of confidence that Scamper was so well known for.

“The best way to describe Clayton and his foul is that they are intelligent, sound and mentally tough. Clayton has a conformation so balanced and so like Scamper. By the looks of his first foal, it seems that the same genetics are fully evident,” says James. “As we venture forward, we are more excited with each passing day. I can’t wait for the new foals to get here. My hope is that someday Scamper will be compared to the great racing horses of all time such as Dash for Cash and Streaking Six, both world class producers of champion performers.”

When Trevor Brazile, 6-Time World Champion Cowboy and his wife, Shada, Professional WPRA Barrel Racer, learned of the opportunity to breed to Clayton, they acted quickly and were one of the first to breed to Clayton. “A great horse is a great horse and when we first saw Clayton, we immediately recognized the potential. The fact that he shares genetics with Scamper was a bonus. Having Scamper’s genetics are advantageous for any barrel racing aspirations that we may have but because Scamper was such a great athlete, so durable and intelligent,  we feel that Clayton’s foal will have great potential in other disciplines. We’re excited about the birth of his offspring in early 2010 and optimistic about the future,” states Brazile.

Since most of the barrel racing sires historically have come from the race track and not from the arena, Clayton offers a first-ever opportunity to discriminating breeders.  “Though there has never been a great barrel racing sire, Clayton’s genetic makeup – his bloodline – offers the known qualities that made Scamper such a success,” notes James.

“Ultimately, Clayton will be judged by the performance of his offspring – and we are very optimistic about that.” Today, Clayton stands at stud at Joe Landers Stallion Station in Weatherford, Texas, and is available for breeding. Opportunities are limited.
