Hollywoodstinseltown is currently standing at McQuay Stables and is available in the Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic Stallion Service Auction. A top-quality breeding operation based in Pilot Point, Texas, Silva Reining Horses is one of the industry’s leading breeding farms with exceptional broodmare and stallion options.
