The Lopin Machine

overview

The Lopin Machine, known to many as “Clyde,” is an active Super Sire whose record and reputation have made him a consistent force in the Western Pleasure industry. With more than $62,000 in lifetime earnings, he captured major titles early in his career, including the 2014 Congress NSBA 2-Year-Old Masters Western Pleasure Championship, the 2015 Show For Dough NSBA 3-Year-Old Open Western Pleasure Championship, and the 2015 Congress 3-Year-Old Western Pleasure Reserve Championship.
