Since 1993, an eye-catching, California-bred Palomino stallion named Nu Chex To Cash has accumulated fame and recognition in the sport of Reining.

Four years after becoming the sport’s 15th National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) Million Dollar Sire and just two years after being inducted into the NRHA Hall of Fame, he has once more elevated his status becoming the 10th NRHA Two Million Dollar Sire.

His offspring’s official NRHA earnings now total $2,002,150. Hilldale Farm, of Brashear, TX, has owned Nu Chex To Cash since 1995 and has bred his top three earning offspring.

The 22-year-old stallion, bred by Margaret Drown of Santa Ysabel, had much success in the show pen from 1993 to 2002 earning over $57,500 in NRHA Lifetime Earnings. In 2002, Nu Chex To Cash and Jessicah (Keller) Torpey, of Princeton, KY, were awarded the NRHA Non Pro and Intermediate Non Pro Reserve World Championships and the NRHA Intermediate Open and Limited Open World Championships. In the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA), Nu Chex To Cash earned 379 AQHA points and Superiors in Reining and Working Cow Horse. In 1999, he was the AQHA High Point Reining, Senior Reining, Working Cow Horse and Senior Working Cow Horse champion and repeated the Senior Reining High Point title in 2001.

Nu Chex To Cash (Nu Cash x Amarilla Chex) is well-known for his progeny’s achievements. Pop Gun Cash BB (out of Sugar Pop Gun, bred by Deborah Strahman) is the stallion’s most recent earner. The gelding and Susy Baeck earned $15,190, the co-championship in the level 4 non pro division and championship in the level 3 and level 2 non pro divisions at the 2012 NRHA European Futurity.
