A Legacy of Greatness: Jess Sass Me’s Unmatched Impact
The name Jess Sass Me has become synonymous with greatness in the Quarter Horse world. This remarkable mare has made history as the breed’s first mare to produce 11 stakes winners. Jess Sass Me’s legacy was cemented when her gelded son, Jess My Dynasty, won the $67,380 Turf Paradise on December 31, 2024, marking a historic moment as the last stakes race of the year for American Quarter Horses.
But that win wasn’t just significant for Jess My Dynasty—it also marked the 11th stakes victory for Jess Sass Me, an impressive achievement that places her firmly in the record books. As we look back at her stellar offspring, it’s clear that her influence on the breed is far-reaching and ongoing.
Here are Jess Sass Me’s 11 stakes winners, ranked by foaling date:
Valiant Jess (03/09/09, g by Valiant Hero, $45,645)
Jess Being Valiant (03/23/10, c by Valiant Hero, $191,735)
Sass Me Blue (04/02/12, f by Valiant Hero, $296,378)
Jess Walking Thru (04/19/12, f by Walk Thru Fire, $447,266)

Jess My Dynasty (01/08/21, g by FDD Dynasty, $79,060)
Jess Sass Me, a daughter of the legendary Mr. Jess Perry, also produced Sassy Smith, another standout in the world of racing. With over $412,000 in earnings through 2023, Jess Sass Me has proven to be a powerhouse in producing top-tier performance horses. To date, she has 74 registered foals, with 52 starters, 34 winners, and 2 Champions—an extraordinary feat for any mare.

Heidi Gunderson had high hopes for Wonder If I’m Lucky (“Casey”), owned by her good friend Shannon Kulseth. She had even suggested that Kulseth try to find a slot to buy for the OKC Futurity in December.
After Casey’s first pass through the timers at the Lazy E Arena, she was glad that Kulseth hadn’t bought a slot.
“He spooked at the first barrel, got scared of the people in the chair at the second barrel, hit it, got scared of the people in the chair at the third barrel… I was like, ‘Oh my gosh!’ We had showcased him a couple of times back home and he clocked really well, but he was so spooky and scared at the BFA. I thought I’m going to have to send him a lot harder, so he quits looking at things.”
Gunderson’s game plan worked. Although Casey looked around a little at the first barrel on the first run, their 15.540 placed seventh in the round. They came back with a 15.284, the fastest run by a 3-year-old, to win the second round and the aggregate for the 315-entry, $50,000-added BFA Juvenile.
“It really was a dream come true,” said Gunderson. “The best trainers and horses in the country are there. You go and you just want your colts to have a good showing, and to win it… I honestly feel like it was a gift from God. I know the horse had the ability, but you’re competing against so many good horses and good trainers… I’m just in shock.”
Kulseth purchased Casey as a coming 2-year-old for $14,000 at the 2022 OKC Futurity Sale. Bred by Stephanie Langford-Cleveland, the Lucky Wonder Horse gelding was out of TS Sunnys Superstar, by PC Mr Sun Peppy.
“She was like, ‘Oh, should I buy this one? Do you have room to take him home?’ I said, ‘Sure.’ We’ve had him ever since. The funny thing is, Shannon forgot at times that he was even here. She had six horses here at one time and she literally said once, ‘Oh, I forgot about him.’ We joke and tease that he’s the forgotten horse to be forgotten no more!” laughed Gunderson.
Gunderson’s husband Mark started Casey under saddle.
“We’ve loved him the entire time,” she said. “He was super easy to train and moved his feet right. He’s willing. He’s never been a horse that anything was difficult for him. It was easy to teach him.”
The only hole in Casey was his spooky nature away from home.
“I hauled him a lot this summer just to get him exposed because he was so spooky,” she said. “I brought him to as many places as I could because the first time I took him somewhere, he ran as hard as he could in the opposite direction from everything!”
Knowingly, Gunderson took the opportunity to get Casey to the BFA during the first weekend for the ride time and Open races.
“I thought I just needed to get him in the pen as much as I could. That’s his only thing. He’s looky and watchy. I thought I needed to get up there and get him in the pen.”
Her efforts paid off handsomely with a $20,495 Juvenile Championship and $2,000 in Future Fortunes bonus money.
“We knew he was nice, but this was something none of us predicted,” she said. “He’s obviously nicer than we even could have thought.”
Gunderson said Casey will likely have a light schedule during the winter months since she lives in Murdock, Minnesota.
“You only get a chance at horses like this every once in a while,” she said. “I want to give him all the chances that I can give him, but I do live in Minnesota. I do have a son in high school and a teaching job—I teach online so I can work wherever I am—but my kids are wrestlers, and I don’t want to miss their seasons. After Oklahoma City, we’ll sit down and decide where we want to take him. I, for sure, am going to go in April and do the Diamond Classic and Ruby. Wrestling season through the first weekend in March is pretty intense in our household. There’s a lot of futurity season from March on.”

In August 2023, the 2018 mare Yes Im Sassy, ridden by Colby Lovell, secured the All-Ages Heading title at the Royal Crown Futurity in Rock Springs, Wyoming. The duo achieved a cumulative time of 636.18 seconds over four runs, earning $4,500 for owners Neal and Jody Wanless.

When Kirchenschlager sustained a hand injury earlier in the summer, Lovell stepped in to showcase the mare at the Oklahoma City ARHFA Red Bud Futurity.

Her pedigree combines the speed and agility of her sire, Mr Sassy Frenchman—a descendant of Frenchmans Guy and Mr Jess Perry—with the cow sense of her dam’s lineage, tracing back to Paddys Irish Whiskey. This blend contributes to her exceptional performance in the arena.

At Myers Performance Horses, our mission has always been to elevate the sport of barrel racing through exceptional breeding and unwavering dedication. The accomplishments of A Smooth Guy, Frenchmans Guy, and the entire Myers legacy are a testament to that commitment.
We’re incredibly grateful to the trainers, riders, and owners who trust our horses to take them to the next level. Together, we’re building a future that honors the past while continuing to push the limits of excellence.

August 22, 2020 – Seven Down Arenas, Spearfish, South Dakota
Story & Photography by: Larry Larson
The stage was set back in the fall of 1987 when the ‘The Legend’ Frenchmans Guy joined the Myers Ranch as a weanling. A Leading All-Around Performance Horse Sire since 2001 and with progeny arena earnings now exceeding $14 Million, he continues to headline their ranch operation today. Sired by the Cowan Ranch stallion Sun Frost, his dam was a Loiseau broodmare named Frenchman Lady – a daughter of Laughing Boy AA by Lightning Bar AAA. Still an integral part of their breeding operation in 2020 at age 33, ‘Guy’ and several of his sons continue to produce high quality, sale topping offspring as was evident at the Myers Performance Horse Prospect Sale held on August 22nd in Spearfish, South Dakota.
Along with Frenchmans Guy and the late A Smooth Guy, 2020 brought the introduction of the ‘next generation’ of ranch sires into their market – Ima Special Kindaguy, Mr Sassy Frenchman and This Guyz A Keeper are all sons of Frenchmans Guy and attained impressive averages at the sale. Their young outcross stallion, Lucky Wonder Horse, is a buckskin son of Multiple World Champion First Down Dash SI 105 out of the mare Rosas Cantina CC by Corona Cartel SI 97 – an NFR Round Winner with over $300,000 in earnings with Lisa Lockhart and currently ranked #11 in the 2020 WPRA World Standings (unofficially as of 8/24/20).
With the Myers since their first production sale in 2000, Auctioneer Lynn Weishaar and Announcer John E. Johnson rolled at a fast pace through the 59 cataloged horses offered in 2020. Phone bidding was strong along with a large crowd from across the nation in attendance at Seven Down Arenas east of Spearfish.
Topping the 2020 sale at $80,000 was Hez Famous Guyz, a 2017 Gray Gelding sired by Frenchmans Guy and out of Disarray SI 89 by Dash Ta Fame SI 113. It’s a golden cross that has already produced barrel racing standouts Famous Mic Guy Ver, Guyz R A Mystery, Guys Keepin The Fame, Letz Makea Deal Guyz and Guys Famous Girl, the 2011 Nation’s #1 Futurity Horse with LTE of $120,000+. Repeat buyers, Joey, Wendy & Rylea Platts from Scottsdale, Arizona, have already owned and trained a full brother Letz Makea Deal Guyz. Rylea Platts shared, “We are super excited to see what the future will be with this guy. Our plans now are to bring him home and get him ready for his 5-Year-Old Futurity year and go from there.”
Lowery Farms from Madison, North Carolina made the trip to Spearfish and left the sale with three outstanding prospects – Queen Of Smooth, Shez My Pick Guyz and Shez Special. Kim, Andrew & Lani Lowery had the final bid of $79,000 on the second High-Seller Queen of Smooth – a Full Sister to Smooth N Famous, the winner of over $250,000. The 2018 Sorrel Mare by A Smooth Guy is out of the 2015 Future Fortunes Broodmare of the Year FC Peachfuzz Ta Fame, a daughter of Dash Ta Fame SI 113 and out of multiple Futurity Champion SX Frenchmans Peach by Frenchmans Guy. Kim Lowery added, “Queen Of Smooth will call Madison, NC and Lowery Farms home and will be in training with Jesse Hopper of Mayodan, NC. We are excited about her future and think she is an excellent addition to our program.” Lowery Farms was the Volume Buyer in 2020 as they also had the bid of $33,000 on Shez My Pick Guyz, a 2015 Palomino Mare sired by Frenchmans Guy out of Tag Along Nickie by Dr Nick Bar and Shez Special, a 2017 Sorrel Mare by Ima Special Kindaguy out of Patience N Speed by World Speed SI 83. She left the ring at $28,000.
A sale sponsor this year was Classic Equine represented at the sale by Trisha Price. They presented a saddle pad and horse sheet to Hez Famous Guyz (Platts Family, Scottsdale, Arizona) for the High-Selling Gelding and to Queen Of Smooth (Lowery Farms, Madison, North Carolina) for the High-Selling Mare.
Bill & Deb Myers concluded by saying, “We are honored by the trust and confidence you have in our program. Our horses are a passion for us and have been all of our lives. It is our favorite day of the year and we are grateful you all shared it with us.”

MYERS RANCH 2020 HIGH SELLING HORSES
SATURDAY, AUGUST 22 2020 SEVEN DOWN ARENAS SPEARFISH, SOUTH DAKOTA
In the equine industry we know ‘Legends’ – the yet vibrant 31-Year-Old Frenchmans Guy is one of them. We also understand the importance of a ‘Reputation’ in our industry – Bill and Debbie Myers have earned theirs and they are recognized for that. All aligned for yet another successful Myers Performance Horse Prospect Sale on August 25th – the last large consignment of Frenchmans Guy and A Smooth Guy progeny being offered at public auction.
Myers Performance Horses – Bill and Debbie Myers and sons Chad, Billy, Brandon and Brady – presented an event for the record books returning home to the Black Hills of South Dakota for their 2018 sale. Held at Travis and Amy Lantis’ Seven Down Arenas East of Spearfish, South Dakota, the facility was filled to capacity for the preview and sale with knowledgeable horsemen from across the Nation and Canada drawn to one of the Nation’s most powerful sale offerings this year. Advertised as the #1 Two-Year-Old Program in the Nation, their phenomenal crew had the horses fit and primed by sale day and that reputation shined with consistent averages throughout the sale. Auctioneer Lynn Weishaar, and Announcer John E. Johnson, kept a steady pace with intense interest and phone bidding. The preview and sale were live cast through 3-2-1 Action Video.
Frenchmans Guy, a Leading All-Around Performance Horse Sire since 2001, is the sire of progeny with earnings now exceeding $12 Million in Rodeo, Futurities, Derbies, a AAA Sire on the Track and Youth Winners. The Frenchmans Guy daughters were especially in high demand! From a stellar, proven cross of Frenchmans Guy and Serious Spender SI 92 by Bills Ryon SI 113, their 2018 High Seller was Beter Watchthis Guyz, a 2016 Buckskin Mare who left the ring on a bid of $104,000. Repeat buyers were the Platts Family (Joey, Wendy & Rylea) from Scottsdale, Arizona. She is a full sister to the 2008 BFA Futurity Champion Guys Cash Perks with earnings of $50,000 and Guys On A Mission, a proven rope and barrel horses and past sale grad. The Platts Family also took home the 2nd High Seller of the day – Guyz Girlz Have Fame – on a bid of $99,000 for the 2016 Palomino Mare. Again sired by Frenchmans Guy, she is out of the proven mare Fames Licorice Kiss by Dash Ta Fame SI 113 – a 3X Montana ProRodeo Finals Average Champion, 3X WPRA Montana Circuit Champion, 7X Montana ProRodeo Qualifier and 5X RAM National Circuit Finals Qualifier with over $210,000 in Life Time Earnings. Rylea Platts summed up with, “The hospitality and presentation of the Myers sale is what keeps us coming back. There is not a sale out there that can top theirs. We have a lot of respect for the Myers and their breeding program.”
A full sister to Tami Semas’ phenom Smooth N Famous ‘Perkins’, a Myers Sale Grad with multiple Futurity, Derby and ProRodeo Championships and over $180,000 in earnings was the 3rd High-Seller. Out of the 2015 Future Fortunes Leading Broodmare FC Peachfuzz Ta Fame by Dash Ta Fame SI 113, Smooth N Fuzzy drew a bid of $98,000. The 2016 Sorrel Mare will call Utah home now with Keith Nellesson. Topping the gelding market in 2018 was Ima Standup Guy, a 2016 Sorrel Gelding also sired by Frenchmans Guy and out of the Hot Colours SI 102 mare Hot Movida – she shares the same dam, Docs Movida, as the late A Smooth Guy. He will make the trip south with Jamey and Brandy Voge to Wills Point, Texas who had the bid at $40,000. He is already in training with NFR Qualifier Cassidy Kruse, also from Wills Point, who added, “I am super excited to have such an athlete like Ima Standup Guy come into my life! I’ve had a lot of success on Frenchmans Guy horses including the one I own now, Guys Six Pack. They all just fit my style.”
Myers simply summarized their sale with, “The great thing we are finding out…our horses are going to such GOOD HOMES and we are so thankful for that.”
A sale sponsor this year was Classic Equine – they presented a saddle pad and horse sheet to Beter Watchthis Guyz (Platts Family), High-Selling Mare; Ima Standup Guy (Jamey & Brandy Voge), High-Selling Gelding and the Bismarck Ranch from Vale, South Dakota as the 2018 Volume Buyer.

MYERS RANCH/COPPER SPRING RANCH PERFORMANCE HORSE SALE
August 26, 2017 – Bozeman, MT Story: Larry Larson Combining legendary bloodlines – already proven on the racetrack and in the performance and rodeo arenas – and adding years of building strong reputations led up to one of the top Quarter Horse Arena Prospect sales in the Nation for 2017. Combining forces, the 3rd Annual Myers Ranch/Copper Spring Ranch Performance Horse Sale was presented on Saturday, August 26th at the CSR Arena in Bozeman, Montana.
That proven reputation, tacked onto many years of selective breeding, set the stage as the Nation’s #1 Two-Year-Old Program, Myers Performance Horses, offered another outstanding group of arena prospects in 2017. Owned by Bill & Deb Myers and their sons Chad, Billy, Brandon and Brady, their breeding and training operation is situated in a picturesque area of the Black Hills between Spearfish and St. Onge, South Dakota. They are home to Leading Sire Frenchmans Guy, the still vibrant 30-year-old sire of earners now exceeding the $11 Million mark. He is joined in the breeding shed by a proven son, A Smooth Guy, and Cowboys Cartel, a AAA runner sired by Corona Cartel SI 97. Young stallions currently being introduced into their program include three Frenchmans Guy sons – Ima Special Kindaguy, This Guyz A Keeper and Mr Sassy Frenchman. They are excited to now be adding the 2015 Buckskin Stallion Lucky Wonder Horse as a strong outcross on their program mares. A son of First Down Dash SI 105, he is out of 2017 Barrel Racing Money Earner Rosas Cantina CC. The buckskin daughter of Corona Cartel SI 97, currently being campaigned by Lisa Lockhart, has Lifetime Earnings of $35,000+ to date and is out of an NFR Qualifying daughter of Dash Ta Fame SI 113 with LTE of $150,000+.
In one of the last offerings of progeny sired by Frenchmans Guy, high seller honors this year were shared by Take The Fame Guyz and Vision Of Guyz – both sired by him and leaving the ring at $62,000. Out of the Myers Ranch broodmare Disarray SI 89 by Dash Ta Fame SI 113, the proven cross produced the 2015 Gray Gelding Take The Fame Guyz – a full brother to the 2011 #1 Futurity Horse in the Nation Guys Famous Girl with LTE of $110,000. Strong interest prior to the sale and active bidding ended with Shelly Shields taking him home to Canada. The 2015 Buckskin Mare Visions Of Guyz left the ring on a bid from Rob Plendl from Iowa. Her dam is the mare Moon Visions SI 89 by multiple Stakes Sire Visionarian SI 94 and out of a daughter of one of the nation’s top proven barrel sires Marthas Six Moons SI 99. The Myers Family shared, “We want to wish everyone who bought from us the “Very Best of Luck” with your purchases. 50% of our buyers were represented as “repeat buyers” and we are honored that they continue in our program. We were also excited to see many new faces in the crowd. We greatly appreciate you all.”
The Copper Spring Ranch consignments included their high seller Dash To The Lane – a 2015 Palomino Mare sired by the Nation’s Leading Barrel Sire Dash Ta Fame SI 113 and out of Lanes Liberty Belle, their daughter of Lanes Leinster SI 101. She left the ring on a final bid of $39,000 from Jeff & Brenda Wills from Canada. CSR also offered the 2015 Sorrel Mare This Fame Is Serious and Mike Ingram from Montana had the bid at $37,000. Also sired by Dash Ta Fame SI 113, she is out of their ranch mare Betta Takeme Serious, a 1D daughter of Frenchmans Guy and a full sister to the 2009 BFA Futurity Champion Guys Cash Perks. The high selling consignment sired by Furyofthewind SI 96 was Royale Trade, a 2015 Brown Mare out of Dynasty Royale by First Down Dash SI 105 and out of a daughter of Rare Form SI 120. Bidding stopped at $21,000 and she found a home with Meg & Frank Anderson from Montana. The ranch added, “Copper Spring Ranch Owner Karen Gilhousen, Managers Brian and Lisa Anderson and the entire ranch staff would like to thank everyone who purchased our horses and attended the successful Myers Ranch/Copper Spring Ranch Performance horse sale on August 26.”
Auctioneer for the 2017 sale was Lynn Weishaar, Reva, South Dakota and Announcer was John E. Johnson from Piedmont, South Dakota. Live Internet coverage of the preview and sale was handled again this year by Michael Cloward from 3-2-1 Action Video, Fort Worth, Texas.
