As a foal, he was bought at E. Paul Waggoner's 1954 Waggoner Ranch sale by Paul Curtner. Curtner had initially intended to purchase a daughter of Blackburn and a filly by Poco Bueno but instead ended up purchasing two different horses – a mare by Pretty Boy (Pretty Rosalie) and a colt by Poco Bueno (Poco Pine). While still at the sale, Curtner was approached by two employees of Waggoner's, both informing Curtner that, in their opinion, he'd bought the best mare in the sale. One of the employees, Pine Johnson, Waggoner's trainer, also felt the colt was the best Poco Bueno colt he'd ever seen. Because of Johnson's praise for the colt, Curtner decided to register the foal as Poco Pine. ==Breeding career== Poco Pine's foals earned $14,794 in National Cutting Horse Association competition. He sired 37 AQHA Champions, 19 Superior Western Pleasure Horses, 2 Superior Trail Horses, 15 Superior Halter Horses, 84 Performance Registers of Merit and 4 year end high point horses with the AQHA. He sired 19 foal crops, with a total of 464 foals. His son Poco Pecho was the sire of Pecho Dexter, who was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame. Another descendant inducted into the Hall of Fame was Zippo Pine Bar, who was out of a Poco Pine daughter. ==Pedigree== ==Notes== ==Citations== ==References==
