“Here at Snow Ranch LLC, we love Quarter Horse racing. We want to be ambassadors of the sport any way that we can,” said owner Shane Snow. “Although we’re based in Texas, we saw how much Iowa Quarter Horse breeders loved Lil Kool Wagon, and ever since his loss, we’ve been looking for the right stallion to send to Iowa to support the growing Iowa-bred program. When we saw Majestic Cartel in the inaugural Fastrack sale, we knew we found the right one.”

Snow also cited the support received locally since relocating the stallion. “Tom Lepic and Chris Hovey at the Iowa Quarter Horse Racing Association welcomed us with open arms and have been extremely helpful and supportive. Abrahams Equine Clinic has been great to work with and will be excellent partners. We’re looking forward to seeing Majestic Cartel’s foals win big in Iowa.”
