Yes Im Sassy: The Rising Star of the Team Roping Arena

Yes Im Sassy, a 2018 mare by Mr Sassy Frenchman out of Full Irish Whiskey, has rapidly distinguished herself in the team roping arena. Bred by Myers Performance Horses in South Dakota, she embodies a unique blend of speed and cow sense, making her a formidable competitor.

Under the guidance of trainer Dakota Kirchenschlager, Yes Im Sassy has achieved significant milestones. In August 2023, with Colby Lovell as her rider, she clinched the All-Ages Heading title at the Royal Crown Futurity in Rock Springs, Wyoming. The duo posted a cumulative time of 636.18 seconds over four runs, earning $4,500 for owners Neal and Jody Wanless.

Earlier that year, in April 2024, Yes Im Sassy partnered with Kaleb Driggers to win the ARHFA Red Bud Spectacular in Oklahoma City. Their performance in the Futurity Heading category further solidified her reputation as a top-tier rope horse.

Yes Im Sassy’s pedigree combines the agility and speed 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 genetic blend contributes to her exceptional performance in the arena.

As of mid-2023, Yes Im Sassy had accumulated over $42,000 in lifetime earnings, reflecting her consistent success and promising future in the sport.
