Mickey Clark, OK Ranch cutting trainer, says of Shiney Lynx, "He is one of the better two year olds I've ever started. A real bid stopper, good minded and lots of cow. He's a real big athlete." Shiney Lynx, owned by OK Ranch, is a son of Rockin' 7 Quarter Horse stallion All American Shiner and out of Darlin Dorsi, a Docs Lynx mare.

   All American Shiner is an own son of AQHA World Champion Reiner, Shining Spark. All American Shiner is an AQHA Point Earner in team roping and has get in training for cutting, reining and team ropng.

   His get are as pretty as they are athletic, ready to meet your needs in the show pen or on the working cattle ranch.

   Debra Smith has had many years of experience with Rockin' 7 Quarter Horses. She said, "We have been doing business with Rockin 7 Quarter Horses since 1990 when we purchased my daughter's first horse. We've purchased horses from Scott Watts and have bred our mares to his stallions."

   She continued, "Our mares have been well cared for during their stay in the breeding season at Scott's barn. Rocking 7 Quarter Horses has stallions with outstanding bloodlines. We have colts that we have raised and have kept out of three of his stallions, All American Shiner, My Oleana Dunit and Starsky Glo Freckles, also known as 'Frito'. We use the horses in everyday ranch work, team roping and barrel racing."

   Of Rockin' 7's business practices, Debra said, "Scott is a fair business man. I would do business with Scott with or without a breeding contract due to the fact that he has always stood by his word. What he tells you in the beginning is where it will be in the end."

   Heather Young is another Rockin' 7 fan who has enjoyed owning one of All American Shiner's get. She said, "In February, 2005, I purchased Shine N Silver, a daughter of All American Shiner, from Rockin' 7 Quarter Horses. I have really enjoyed training Shine N Silver. She is very trainable, has a lot of cow and a natural stop. This mare is quiet, low-headed and just really sensible."

   She added, "I really favored All American Shiner's characteristics. Therefore, I bred two of my brood mares to him in 2005. One mare is Joanns Gold, a 4-time PHBA world champion reining and working cowhorse. Joanns Gold is a very intricate mare to breed and Scott Watts is knowledgeable enough that he was able to have her in foal. I had a very pleasant experience doing business with Rockin 7 Quarter Horses."

   She concluded, "I feel that All American Shiner has the conformation, athleticism and pedigree to be a great sire. I think he is truly an asset to Central and South Texas.

   Both Smith and Young continue to trust their breeding needs of their operations to Rockin' 7 Quarter Horses. A large percentage of the activity generated at Rockin' 7 is due to repeat business, which is a testimony to the satisfaction enjoyed by the clientele.

   Another favorite among Rockin' 7 customers is Dusty Dry Chex who is by Dusty Dry Tivio by Smart Chic Olena out of Sharn Check by Snicklefritz Chex. Dusty Dry Chex is an extraordinarily good looking stallion with attractive markings and great conformation.

   In 2006 Just Plain Dun It, a dun stallion owned by Kinleigh Rosenhauer came to stand at Rockin' 7. Just Plain Dun It carries the famous Hollywood Dun It genetics on his sire's side and She's Just Plain, his dam, is the 3/4 sister to the AQHA reining horse of the decade for the 1990's. He also carries the great bloodlines of Colonel Freckles, King Fritz and Doc Bar.

   Rosenhauer says, "If you are looking for a gentle, yet athletic, good minded sire with plenty of cow, and a dun that has the classic tiger striped legs with black points, and all the best bloodlines in one package, then this is your horse.

   Rounding out the Rockin' 7 stallion lineup is Major Dad Challenge by NCHA money earner Major Vaquero out of Major Affair. Know as "Dozer" because of his powerful, muscular build, this horse has a lot of "want to", agility, and an even disposition. Pictures of Dozer being ridden double by the Watts children, Hannah (then 4 years old) and Davis (then 9) were featured on the cover of the February 2006 edition of Texas Horse News.

   In addition to standing these exceptional stallions, Rockin' 7 also runs a large band of impressively pedigreed brood mares. The 2007 foal crop looks to be one of the best yet!

   Scott Watts his wife Ann, their son, Davis, and daughter, Hannah regularly host people seeking training for both their horses and themselves. In Scott's spare time he gives roping lessons and puts on Youth Roping Schools at Rockin' 7. He has also taken the roping school on the road to Eagle Pass and into Mexico.

   Scott says of the horse business, "It's a lot of hard work but well worth it. My customers have turned into some really good friends. Our families get together to rope and barbecue. Not only have I been fortunate enough to work with some really great horses, I have met some extraordinary people in this business."
