This impressive
record may be just the beginning. Sassy Topnotch has five more young
offspring who are either just beginning to show or are too young to
ride, with sires including Pine Interest, Texas Invitation, Invitation
Only, and One Hot Krymsun. Watch for updates, as Sassy Topnotch's
progeny will surely work their way up the AQHA point lists.
