Barrel Racing Breeder

Jay and I both have a love for horses and never thought we would love breeding a small number of mares.  Several years ago after my mares got hurt, we decided to try our hand at breeding and specializing in breeding the best potential barrel horses from my mares.  We have ridden and used our mares so we are familiar with their temperament, strengths and weaknesses.  Over the years, we have studied stallions and how they would cross on our mares to make an outstanding barrel prospect.  We are producing offspring to be that are bred for the incentives, specifically Ruby and Pink Buckles. Everything I breed, I would like to ride myself and run, however it is for sale.  We sell some every year to keep playing the game and we will keep some as well to hopefully compete on. Our colts have to endure our elements of below zero temperatures, blizzards in the winter and heat and high humidity in the summer.  Colts learn how to place their feet and turn at a young age as they are often running and playing on ice covered pastures for 6 months out of the year.  
Most recently, I have started breeding my own mares myself as I am certified in Artificial Insemination as well as Embryo Transfers. We are set up to foal out mares early in the year as well as breed early in the year for those January or February babies.  We are also offering embryos for sale from our group of mares.  These can be from our current broodmares and even from our prospects and running mares.   You pick the stud and we will breed and put the embryo in a recipient mare and you take the recipient mare home when checked in foal.  
If you see something that you like, please reach out and ask even if it is not on the For Sale Page as Jay says, everything has a price tag.

2025 Foals

Latenite Legend

Choke My Lover Boy

Magnum is what we call this flashy stud prospect.  He is by Slick By Design who needs not introduction to the barrel racing world.  Magnum's dam, Latenite Moon is by First Moonflash and had a very successful racing career, winning over 50k on the track and then became a barrel horse for a brief time.  She was a natural at barrels and won a couple thousand in a few months.  We are preparing one of her first offspring for the futurities now and are very excited with how she is coming.  
This colt should excel at any arena event or even stand at stud as he is very correct and striking.  





 

Lover Boy is what we call this muscle machine.  He is by the winning barrel horse, The Red Dasher who had a very successful career before retirement.  Lover Boy is out of Cupids Chokehold who ran barrels herself successfully before retirement to the broodmare pen.  Cupid (dam) has been producing winning barrel horses that are easy to ride and train and naturally want to run barrels.  I visited with her breeder recently and he informed me that she can be bred to anything due to her natural ability and mind.  This colt will be a winner with his strong genetics and conformation.

Stickz

Stickz is by the late Brace For Bernal who won over $200k on the track and only recently had been used to breed barrel horses.  He should bring plently of speed to any cross.  
Stickz's dam, Paris, was my former barrel horse who was successful in the barrel pen winning races and rodeo money.  All of her offspring have been naturals at barrels and have great minds.  Everything is very easy for them and they aim to please.  This guy will be a big boy with his long legs.  Can't wait to see what he does in the future.

Good Friendly Friday

Friendly Friday is by the barrel racing stud, UR One Famous Rebel, who had a very successful barrel racing career before his retirement to stud.  He is out of a mare we call Zena and she has been producing offspring that are winning in the barrel pen as well as the roping arena.  She has offspring winning down in Texas and we are excited to watch their progress in the rodeos.  This colt is so personable and loves to be around people.  He is also very flashy with his white socks and blaze.

Hot Wheelzz

Hot Wheelzz is by the up and coming stud, Seis Shots of Beauty who won over $100k his futurity year in 2024.  Seis Shots of Beauty is full of proven winners that bring lots of speed. 
Hot Wheelzz dam, Leave the Guy Behind aka Girlfriend, is my 2025 futurity horse.  She is very level headed and easy to ride.  She is also a started rope horse and loves cattle.  Hot Wheelzz should have both speed and brains to do any arena event with ease.

Design On The Moon

Baby Jagger is what we call this guy.  He is a twin embryo with Magnum this year.  Baby Jagger is by the legendary Slick By Design and out of Latenite Moon (First Moonflash).  Baby Jagger is not consigned to the Hermanson Kist Sale in September due to him having a bowed out hind leg from a hairline fracture that is healed.   I would consider selling, if not, he can stay with me as I would love to run in the future.
