Introducing STARLIGHT SMOKINCHIC, better known as Wiley, a 2022 Buckskin Stallion built for breeders who want color, cow, and credibility wrapped into one intelligent breeding decision. Wiley represents a strategic cross for programs that demand proven lineage without inflated pricing, standing 15H, weighing 1,200 LBS. His sire line Rio Starlight earned $40,000 LTE, bringing forward the elite influence of Grays Starlight on top and Smokin Kitty Rio on the bottom, a cross known for, trainability, and cow sense. Grays Starlight himself is a proven icon with $35K LTE and over $12 million in progeny earnings, anchoring Wiley in one of the most commercially dominant bloodlines in the cutting and reined cow horse industries. On the dam side, SmartChics DontSmoke is by Smart Chic Olena, an NRCHA cornerstone with $167,471 LTE and over $15 million in progeny earnings, out of a Deja Boom mare, adding stopping power, grit, and elite versatility to the genetic equation.

This is not just a good-looking buckskin; this is a stallion positioned for breeders who understand value, not hype. The stud fee is $800 with a $300 booking fee, making Wiley an accessible but high-upside option for programs focused on performance.

Industry professionals repeatedly emphasize that stallions tied to Grays Starlight and Smart Chic Olena bloodlines retain market demand across disciplines, generate repeat breeders, and outperform trend-based sires when it comes to resale value and longevity.
