A rugged, rodeo built athlete with presence and correct conformation, this sale feature ties together ours with the great program of Wayne Drydale & Lee Jones. A full brother to top sellers and breeding stallions, this massive colt has more than fifty crosses to the great foundation sire Joe Hancock. A total package powerhouse with a keen head, quickness and speed, this naturally gifted stallion & arena prospect is bred to be great! His maternal family produced a PRCA Calf Horse of the Year owned by Doug Clark-so PRCA level bloodlines are on top and bottom of his pedigree. A unique color, we think ultimately he will shed off smutty buckskin.

“Patriot” was selected for our program particularly due to his maternal pedigree.His dam is a full sister to one of our favorite broodmares of all time, SF Lil April McKeag. This line of horses has served us very well through the years, producing several top sellers that have gone on to become fantastic ranch, roping and family horses. Patriot gives us a fresh infusion of that blood, and presents a wonderful option for adding size, length of stride, and balance while stamping his progeny with color and a keen head. Sire of 100% roan foals to date, that exhibit his quality and structure. He’s proven to blend perfectly with our Blue Max Hancock daughters, as you’ll see in this year’s offering.

Hard to fault conformation, this filly always “strikes a pose” and loves to come say hello. This filly’s dam is as big, stout and gentle as you can make one. This is a pedigree combo we are excited about, double-bred GoldFingers bottomside with great producers like Babes Sugar Finger blended with McKeags Sapphire a full sister to our great “April” mare. “Patriot” appears to be homozygous roan, so there’s a chance this filly is as well. Due to this filly’s young age, she will not make the trip to the sale. She will be available for pick-up in October. Be sure to view her video online prior to the sale.

Guy On A Roll

2013 AQHA Palomino Stallion

Guy On A Roll is a home-raised program sire and barrel competitor by the great Frenchmans Guy. Frenchmans Guy has revolutionized the barrel horse breeding world, with progeny earnings of over $13 million! Guy On A Roll’s dam, Miss Dottie Pepper AAA SI 92, originated from Sonny Booth’s long-standing Quarter Horse racing program bringing the influence of her producing dam Hurricane Lane AAA SI 90 and $2.6 million race sire Roll The Cash. This young stallion is gentle, long-strided, and has a very cool move on the barrel pattern. We have been so impressed with the minds on his progeny, the oldest crop is now being started with great expectations for futurities. In addition to barrel prospects, we think this horse’s disposition and durable conformation will also make him an excellent sire of roping and ranch horses as well. Take a serious look at his progeny to find your next arena champion!
