AQHAIf you have been keeping up with American Pharoah’s races and workouts you may have noticed the buckskin  Quarter Horse that is often with him. His name is ‘This Whiz Shines’ aka Smokey…and he was a reining horse before becoming a well known pony horse at the track.

The AQHA did a great article on both Bob Baffert and his Quarter Horses that you can read online. It turns out that This Whiz Shines isn’t the only reining-horse-turned-pony-horse out there.
