Secret has no Impressive blood and would make a perfect outcross on Impressive bred mares. He is a wonderful stallion with a great disposition that he gives to his foals. Encores Secret is OLWS Negative and is an 86% color producer on paint mares. Secret is in the Breeders Trust and has been nominated to several futurities.
Secret's mother was a branded Wiescamp mare, a gorgeous headed mare. She was one of Hank Wiescamp's top broodmares, her sire was Silent String and many others in her pedigree included the great Skippa String and Skippa Streak.
His sire needs no introduction, Encore. Encore is a World
Champion Stallion, who is a leading sire of halter point earners.

Some of Secret's accomplishments: 27 Grand Championships, 12 Reserves, Congress Champion, High Point Congress Stallion, Superior Halter Stallion, earning 137 Points, APHA Honor Roll Stallion, winner of the Denver Stock Show...just to name a few!
Encores Secret earned his ROM at his very first show ever at Lufkin, Texas in 1994. During his short show career he beat many horses that were or went on to become World and Reserve World Champions, but he was never taken to the World Show himself.
Many people have remarked to us that they remember seeing Secret during his show career and he was the most beautiful paint horse that they had ever seen. Even more people have remarked to
us that they used to show against him and they really
hated seeing that he was at the show that day!

Encores Secret is the sire of point earners in 12 different APHA categories including:

Halter        Longeline        Western Pleasure
Barrel Racing        Pole Bending      Stakes Race
Trail        Western Riding       Western Horsemanship
Hunt Seat Equitation         Hunter Under Saddle
Yearling In Hand Trail

In October 2010 we took some new pictures of Encores Secret, he is 18 years old in these unaltered pictures. We clipped and bathed him and took him to the arena and let him play while we took pictures.

Below are some candid pictures of Encores Secret, most from 2006. Professional shots are by Don Shugart.

Encores Secret's registration picture!
This is the picture that is on Encores Secret's registration papers. He was such a friendly foal that when Jim Eaton was trying to take pictures of him he wouldn't quit following him around, so Jim tossed his hat down on the ground to distract Secret. About that time a big truck came rattling down the road near his pasture and Jim was able to catch this perfect picture of Secret as he looked at it.
