Heart Stoppin has been named the 2026 Super Sire of the Year, his second title in three seasons, after twenty of his foals combined for 192 Super Sires points across eight shows.
And he arrives at the podium having crossed a threshold that very few stallions reach at all, let alone this early: his foals have now earned more than $1 Million Dollars.
StallionCompare is a proud sponsor of Super Sires, and congratulates Justin & Julie, and the rest of the Voge family of Voge Quarter Horses, who own and stand him.
The 2026 season
Twenty foals. Thirty-eight results. Eight shows. Over $14k in Super Sires earnings and 192 points — the highest total of his career, ahead of the 180 that won him the 2024 title.

The depth is the story here. Nineteen of the twenty scored points, and the title was not carried by one standout horse: his leading earner accounted for a little over a quarter of the money and barely a fifth of the points. Take the top foal out entirely and he would still have led on 152.
Where the points came from
| Show | Results | Points | Earnings |
|---|---|---|---|
| APHA World Championship Show | 10 | 63 | $5,848.00 |
| All American Quarter Horse Congress | 11 | 57 | $4,289.00 |

The yearlings led the way
What Is Love, a 2025 black mare out of the Lazy Loper mare Whatll It Be, led all Heart Stoppin foals with 40 points from three starts. She won the Non-Pro Western Yearling Longe Line at the APHA World Championship Show, was second in the Open division of the same class, and was seventh in the Non-Pro Longe Line at the Congress — $4,084 from one season as a yearling. At the APHA World she also took the Yearling Longe Line Sweepstakes and the Super Sires award in the class.
Stomppin Grounds, a 2025 sorrel gelding, was close behind on 31 points, placing fifth in the Non-Pro Longe Line at the Congress and fourth in the Non-Pro Western Yearling Longe Line at the APHA World.
Between them, two yearlings accounted for 71 of his 192 points.
The older horses held up
Ur Heart Or Mine, a 2023 gelding out of the Lazy Loper mare Why So Lazy, is the family's leading money-earner at $59,944 lifetime. In 2026 he won the Limited Non-Pro 3-Year-Old Western Pleasure at the NSBA World Show and was third in the Non-Pro 3-Year-Old Western Pleasure Limited for 11 Super Sires points.
Hart to Hart, a 2021 mare and the second-highest earner on $55,473, added 19 points. She was the Level 2 Open winner of the 3-Year-Old Western Pleasure Stakes at the 2024 AQHA World Show, and a Congress winner in 2023.
Stoppin For A Invite also contributed 19 points. The 2021 mare has $41,754 lifetime and a 2024 that included both Junior Trail Level 2 Open wins at the AQHA World Show and the 3-Year-Old Trail Sweepstakes at the APHA World.
A million dollars, six crops in
As of the most recent QDATA report, Heart Stoppin's progeny have earned $1,074,584.
| Total progeny earnings | $1,074,584 |
| Money-earners | 116 |
| Average per money-earner | $9,067 |
| AQHA foals | 387 |
| AQHA points earned | 3,438 |
| AQHA point-earners | 70 |
| AQHA ROM awards | 78 |
| AQHA Superior awards | 3 |
Set against his age, those figures are remarkable. Heart Stoppin is a 2016 stallion. His first foals arrived in 2020, which means the million has been built from six foal crops, the oldest of them six years old. Thirty-five of his foals have earned $10,000 or more; twelve have passed $25,000.
The money is concentrated where he was bred to be: $598,965 in western pleasure, $103,414 in hunter under saddle, and $347,331 across other events.
Earnings by foal crop
| Crop | Money-earners | Earnings |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 22 | $171,405 |
| 2021 | 23 | $352,276 |
| 2022 | 26 | $241,012 |
| 2023 | 25 | $227,803 |
| 2024 | 14 | $56,066 |
| 2025 | 6 | $26,022 |
The 2021 crop is his best to date, and the 2024 and 2025 crops have barely begun.
Built on both sides
Heart Stoppin is double registered with AQHA and APHA, where he is recorded as VQH Heart Stoppin, and his record reflects it. His foals have won at the APHA World Championship Show more than anywhere else: The Margarita Stop alone won five classes there in 2025, including two Breeders Futurity Gold divisions, and The Milk Man took the Gold Futurity Yearling Longe Line in 2022 and the 3-Year-Old Western Pleasure Stakes Maiden Open in 2024.
He has also been a consistent presence on the NSBA leading sire list, ranking 16th in 2022, 10th in 2023, 4th in 2024 and 8th in 2025.
The horse himself
Before he was a sire, Heart Stoppin was a very good two-year-old. In 2018, shown for Voge Quarter Horses by Aaron Moses, he was:
- NSBA World Champion, 2-Year-Old Western Pleasure Open
- NSBA High-Point 2-Year-Old Western Pleasure Horse, Open
- Congress Champion, NSBA 2-Year-Old Western Pleasure Stakes Open
- Reserve World Champion, 2-Year-Old Western Pleasure Open, AQHA World Show
- NSBA Breeders Championship Futurity Champion, 2-Year-Old Western Pleasure Open
- Tom Powers Tri-Challenge Futurity Champion, 2-Year-Old Western Pleasure Open
He earned $15,589 of his own that season, then went to the breeding shed.
He is by RL Best Of Sudden and out of One Hot Mouse, by One Hot Krymsun — a cross of two of the most influential western pleasure lines of the era. RL Best Of Sudden, the all-time leading AQHA and NSBA sire in western all-around events, died in June 2025. Heart Stoppin is among the strongest arguments that his influence is in no danger of fading.
Five years of climbing
Heart Stoppin's Super Sires record reads like a stallion finding his feet and then not letting go.
| Year | Standing | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 8th | 22 |
| 2023 | 5th | 29 |
| 2024 | Super Sire of the Year | 180 |
| 2025 | 3rd | 103 |
| 2026 | Super Sire of the Year | 192 |
From eighth to first in two seasons, a year in the top three, and then a career-best to take it back.
He stands at Foals R Us Repro in Whitesboro, Texas, for Voge Quarter Horses, with Julie Voge as breeding manager. He is 5 Panel Negative, carries HERDA, and is available in the United States, Canada and Europe.
Congratulations to the Voge family, to everyone who has bred to him, and to the owners, breeders and exhibitors of all twenty foals who put him here.
One small aside, and an admission of bias: we have a Heart Stoppin foal of our own due in 2028. We could not be more excited to meet our own little Joey.
