Caleb Smidt’s Pocketful Of Light, known as “Pockets,” was born to compete in calf roping.

Originally bred to be a cutter, Pockets is sired by Grays Starlight stallion Jonathan Starlight and out of Playful Pockets by Freckles Playboy. Smidt bought Pocket in 2015 from trainer Ian Wells.

It’s not a coincidence Smidt secured his first World Championship the year he got Pockets.
