The Animal won over $260,000 in his NCHA career, shown by the likes of Lee Francios, James Payne and Paul Hansma. He won the 2017 NCHA Futurity Reserve title, and followed it up with the 2018 NCHA Summer Spectacular Open Derby win. 

He showed well beyond his futurity and derby years, and The Animal was marked by his palpable love for competition and cutting a cow. Still sound, The Animal is gentle and enjoyable to have around, with a kind, willing personality he passes down to his colts.
