A Pedigree Built for the Spotlight
The 2025 Super Sire of the Year, Hay Goodlookn, boasts a pedigree that reads like a who’s who of Quarter Horse royalty. He is sired by the legendary Invitation Only (1990 Bay Quarter Horse), sire of 210 World Champions, Congress Champions, and Reserve Champions across multiple divisions, a 2008 NSBA Hall of Fame inductee, and AQHA’s all-time leading sire of both ROM and point earners. Invitation Only also reigned as AQHA’s leading sire for eight consecutive years and continues to hold titles as the all-time leading sire of money earners, Western Pleasure earnings, and NSBA money earnings. Invitation Only has sired many great horses, including notable names like A Dream Remembered, Coats N Tails, Dress Western, Figured Im Invited, Gucci Only, Hez Only Trouble, Hot Ones Only, I Am The Party, Invited By The Lady, One Hot Krymsun, One N Only, Only A Glamourgirl, Only In The Moonlite, Willy Be Invited, and countless others.
Hay Goodlookn’s dam, Whatscookngoodlookin (2008 Bay Quarter Horse mare), brings equally impressive credentials. With $114,008 in Lifetime Earnings (LTE) and 85 AQHA Performance Points, she is an AQHA Reserve World Champion in Junior Western Pleasure, holds Open ROM and Open Superior titles in Western Pleasure, and is the only horse to have won AQHA World Championships in all five Western Pleasure divisions. Whatscookngoodlookin has also produced a long line of talented horses, including Florida Georgia Line, Tickled Pinkk, and Tik Tock – among others.
The influence of his pedigree continues through his damsire, A Good Machine (1993 Bay Quarter Horse stallion), a legendary sire who's influence is felt widely. He sired 50 AQHA World & Reserve World Champions and 953 AQHA foals, with offspring earning over $2.3 million. His progeny have accumulated more than 44,000 total AQHA points, 218 Superior Awards, 585 ROM Awards, 40 AQHA Champion Awards, 13 AQHA World Champions, 15 AQHA Reserve World Champions, and countless other accolades, cementing his status as one of the breed’s most influential sires. A Good Machine is sire to greats such as Good I Will Be, Good Machinery, LL Cool Bay, Machine Made, Mechanic, and Three-Time Super Sire of the Year The Lopin Machine (2021, 2022, 2023).
Together, this powerhouse lineage gives Hay Goodlookn a rare combination of talent, consistency, and proven performance, setting the stage for the success of his own offspring in the Super Sires program.
