The Appaloosa Horse Club (Appaloosa.com) is on the move. The sale of the building the ApHC has called home since 1974 is final, and the horse club plans to move to Oklahoma City in the fall. The 20,000-plus square foot building and property near the Idaho-Washington border was purchased by a local manufacturing company earlier this month.

The organization, now working in a temporary office, plans to move its ApHC headquarters to Stockyards City (https://www.stockyardscity.org) in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, as early as November 2025. The new location is close to Cattlemen’s Steakhouse (https://cattlemensrestaurant.com), a favorite destination for attendees of the many equine events at the OKC Fair Park (https://okcfairpark.com). The ApHC’s stockyard address and phone number will be announced later this fall.

“There are many changes to the equine industry on the horizon,” says ApHC President Lori Wunderlich. Our move to the Oklahoma stockyards will provide us with increased visibility in the center of ‘horse country.’ We will be better able to serve our current membership and introduce others to the Appaloosa breed with exposure to the many people who visit the stockyards daily. The board views this as a move for the future!” 

Oklahoma City ranked number one in U.S. News and World Report’s “15 Best Cities to Live in for 2025-2026.” With a population of 713,207, the median home price is $230,952, and the median household income is $67,188. 

“In Central Oklahoma on the banks of the Oklahoma River, Oklahoma City is surrounded by rolling hills that slope into the nearby grassy plains,” according to the U.S News and World Report website (https://realestate.usnews.com/real-estate/articles/best-big-cities-to-live-in-the-u-s#okc). “The city boasts the world’s largest livestock markets and is well-known for its cowboy history, featuring museums such as the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, as well as numerous festivals.”

During the transition to the new location, many of ApHC’s current employees will work remotely. The handling of registrations, transfer of ownership, accounting, data processing, and competitions will not be disrupted.

70 Ranch Performance Horses recently shared the heartbreaking news of the passing of Shawne Bug Leo, a stallion whose influence will be felt for generations to come.

A son of Shawne Bug, Shawne Bug Leo carried forward a powerful lineage and left an enduring mark as both an athlete and sire. With only 664 foals registered, his impact was extraordinary, producing Champions across the country, including a two-time NFR qualifier and numerous winners in rodeo and futurity arenas. His progeny have earned more than $2.46 million, a true testament to the athleticism, heart, and consistency he passed on.

More than a producer of winners, Shawne Bug Leo was known for his strength, intelligence, and the kind, wise eyes that reflected his gentle nature. He was a horse whose quiet presence spoke volumes.

While he may have left this world, his story continues. 70 Ranch Performance Horses has shared that frozen semen will remain available, ensuring that Shawne Bug Leo’s legacy, and the bloodlines he so proudly carried, will continue to shape the future of performance horses.

A first time stakes winner will be crowned in the running of the $30,000 Town Policy Handicap on Saturday night at Los Alamitos. Eight sophomores will compete in this 400-yard race and while no horse in the field has already won a stakes race, there are several Grade 1 stakes finalists in this event.

J. Francisco Diaz’s Cowboy Bolt is one of those with experience in Grade 1 stakes events. The gelding by Flying Cowboy 123 won his trial to the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity last December, an effort that earned him a spot in the meet’s richest race. After running in that Grade 1 futurity, the Lindolfo Diaz-trainee has made three appearances this season, his best effort being a fifth-place finish against Lethal Cowboy 123 in the Sgt Pepper Feature on August 23. 

Dunn Ranch LLC’s Firey Eagle is another one with Grade 1 experience after running in the Texas Classic Futurity, which was won by FDD Dreams in November 2024 at Lone Star Park. He picked up an allowance win here on September 27.

Juan Moya’s Nationalist competed in the Restricted Grade 1 Spencer Childers California Breeders Championship Handicap at 400 yards on July 26 and has since posted an allowance win at 350 yards and a second-place finish at 550 yards. 

Edward Melzer Revocable Trust’s Clareets Boy, who was second in the Sgt Pepper Feature, is among the others in this event. Astronomical 123, Gimy A Reason, Fourstreakingeagle and Autamatic will also race.
