Raised to win and bred to last. Myers’ prospects ready for the arena and the future.
For the first time ever, the barrel racing industry’s fourth-ranked breeders of all-time are holding a prospect sale entirely online. The sale on Oct. 19-20 – the first in five years held by Myers Performance Horses – will feature more than 30 performance prospects.
The online sale includes 11 well-started colts and 14 yearlings and weanlings – most packing the blood of the late Frenchmans Guy. With $20 million in progeny earnings and a recent AQHA Hall of Fame induction, he’s the second-greatest sire and grandsire of barrel horses.
Sale horses include a weanling and a few excellent broodmares in foal with 2026 babies by Myers’ new 6-year-old roping futurity stallion CR Tuff Dual – by the $13 million cowhorse sire Woody Be Tuff out of a daughter of the $26 million sire Dual Pep, ARC Catty Dual earner of $168,764 and producer of over $1.2 million. And watch for some nice 2-year-olds by the palomino stallion Ima Special Kindaguy, out of a daughter of Special Leader (speed index 103). Those prospects include a buckskin colt out of a PYC Paint Your Wagon daughter and a palomino filly out of a Dash Ta Fame daughter.
“In Myers horses, you get speed but don’t lose that good common sense,” said Bill Myers. “They can fly. Plus, they’re cowy and know how to rate, so they’re real easy to train. Mentally, they can handle the pressure.”
Others are by Mr Sassy Frenchman, out of Jess Sass Me (speed index 107), whose 7-year-old daughter Yes I’m Sassy has already earned $168,223 as a head horse, and was the second-highest earning rope horse six-and-under in 2024. Plus, a few offerings are by Lucky Wonder Horse, the 2015 buckskin by First Down Dash (speed index 105) out of the NFR barrel mare Rosas Cantina CC. His 4-year-old son Wonder If Im Lucky has already earned more than $246,000 at barrel futurities for Heidi Gunderson, who said he “will bury his hind end and is so athletic that he has a ton of push out of his turns.”
Progeny of Myers stallions are eligible for numerous futurity incentives including Future Fortunes, Royal Crown, Breeder’s Challenge, Tomorrow’s Legends, The Diamond Classic, WPRA PESI, 5-state/Nexus, Gridiron, Colorado Classic, Cowboy State, VCBRA, Cornhuskers, BRIF, Riata Buckle, Gold Buckle, GBF Elite Breeders, Young Guns League, Lucky 7 Bonus, and Pink and Ruby Buckles.
