Kisha and Jason Itkin have acquired Stevie Rey Von, one of the most iconic stallions in cutting horse history, from renowned breeders Alvin and Becky Fults. The Fults family is celebrated for their integrity and excellence in Western performance horse breeding, having shaped generations of elite horses. The Itkins plan to maintain Stevie Rey Von’s elite breeding team, led by cutting legend Beau Galyean, ensuring the continuation of this storied legacy.

For the Itkins, the acquisition is deeply personal and part of a broader mission to elevate Western performance horse sports in American culture. They aim to bring greater recognition to the horses, trainers, and riders, likening their prominence to that of famous athletes in other sports. Stevie Rey Von, with over $19 million in foal earnings and a unique championship lineage, symbolizes not just a single horse’s legacy but the future growth and inspiration of the sport.
