Gay Bars Silver is truly an amazing individual. From shaky beginnings (read "HISTORY") to 4X World Champion in cutting, to premier breeding stallion at T.O.P. Appaloosas. "SILVER" is the whole package. His World Championships came from easily out-performing tough competition in very large classes. Silver was bred by Liz Kincaid and owned by her (his entire life) Silver came out of no where and repeatedly proved his abilities in the cutting pen: even winning Nationals in Novice Non Pro with Liz Kincaid (a very green rider) in the saddle. Liz certainly didn't expect to win that class, but Silver did. And it didn't stop there, his foals continue to follow their sires winning ways. Silver's unmatched pedigree creates foals that do well in most any performance class they are asked to work in. Name any stock horse event and a Silver baby has more than likely mastered it. Not many cutting or reining stallions are able to sire foals that traverse so many genres, but Silver babies do.

How about off the charts in looks? Silver was there. He was a horse that sired horses; he stood 14.2 and weighed about 940 lbs. He had good bone, balanced muscling, a clean neck, chiseled head and big soft eyes.  He was blessed with a thick flowing mane & tail and the fact that he carried a CR (dilute) gene, means your chances of obtaining unique coloration, starting with: buckskin & palomino are distinct possibilities. This stallion was easy to handle and had great respect for his handlers. Multiple trainers commented about what a good minded stud he was and how easy he was to train, Clint Haverty being one of them. This is the stallion that will give you an athlete to ride, earn an ROM, then go into the performance halter classes and (even then) go on to be your 'go to' horse for getting work done around the ranch. Silver babies are working horses.

There are so many articles that either feature or include Silver: The Quarter Horse News, The Appaloosa Journal (multiple times), Western Horseman's LEGENDS series, Horse & Rider, Art Horse Magazine (cover story), HQ - South Africa's Premier Equestrian Magazine, The Lone Star Horse Report and local news papers. When the Appaloosa Horse Club Germany e.V., wanted to feature the BEST cutting horses around the world Gay Bars Silver was included in that list of outstanding individuals.

Silver’s earnings in cutting are approximately $3500. Due to an avoidable injury, his showing was extremely limited. As a stallion Silver's first performance show crop (Gunna Go N Gitem) won the ApRHA REINING FUTURITY and took home; big money, a saddle and TWO, first place, Lawson Trophies. Not bad for a cutting bred stallion. Gay Bars Silver was and will always be, the definition of a versatile sire. So far, foals have won approximately $15,000+ in NRHA earnings and approximately $20,000+ in ApCHA earnings. His Equistat production total exceeds $61,000. The numbers don’t lie and these numbers will continue to go up.

A stallion can have rooms full of awards, but if he can't consistently pass the ability and those winning talents on to his foals, he is just a stallion with some awards. Before you pick a stallion ask yourself these questions: Is he well bred? Is his conformation correct? Is he genetically clean? Is he a champion? Has he left a legacy? Does he sire as good or better horses than  himself? Does he consistently sire winners from different mares? Does he pass on his intelligence, good looks and willingness (want to) to his get? Silver, via frozen semen, does all that and more!!!
