Color Me Smart will definitely go down as a legend in Paint Horse history. The 1991 bay tobiano stallion, sired by Smart Little Lena AQHA and out of 1989 APHA national champion cutting horse Doxs Painted Lady, has attained legendary status. He is APHA’s first $3 million-dollar cutting horse sire. His offspring have excelled in the National Cutting Horse Association, National Reining Horse Association and National Reined Cow Horse Association, as well as in the rodeo arena.
