    “Quick, brilliant, powerful, and pretty, doesn’t even begin to describe this athletic young stallion”, says Matt Gaines (the trainer and rider of Im Countin Checks).  “He is a true cow horse, and has the ability to run and stop hard, and yet he has the style and electricity to draw a cow to him.  I love showing this horse, and I look forward to riding his offspring!  Being that he is so well bred (Sired by Ricochet and out of Autumn Boon (LTE $250,000) who is by Dual Pep and out of Royal Blue Boon) Im Countin Checks can’t miss as a sire!”
