Top Western Pleasure Sires of 2021

Champion horses are created by determining the best mix of conformation, attitude and ability so as to excel in a chosen discipline. Bloodlines are commonly noted and referenced throughout disciplines involving American Quarter Horses, which brings us to the question, “What are the top western pleasure bloodlines?” 

These statistics, powered by the American Quarter Horse Association's QData, were compiled from January 1 to December 31, 2021. The figures represent offspring earnings, number of money earners, average earnings and each sire's leading money earner for 2021.
