Myers Performance Horses to host online sale October 19-20 featuring leading sire Frenchmans Guy bloodlines.
For the first time ever, the barrel racing industry’s All-Time No. 4-ranked Leading Breeders are holding a prospect sale entirely online. The sale on October 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 American Quarter Horse Association Hall of Fame induction, he’s the No. 2-ranked All-Time Leading 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 cow horse sire Woody Be Tuff, and out of the Dual Pep daughter ARC Catty Dual, who’s an earner of $168,764 and producer of more than $1.2 million.
Watch for some nice 2-year-olds by the palomino stallion Ima Special Kindaguy, who’s by Frenchmans Guy and 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 National Finals Rodeo 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.

About Myers Performance Horses: The mission of Myers Performance Horses began four decades ago as all-around versatility – to produce horses that could win any timed event. The program operated by Bill and Deb Myers and their sons Chad, Billy, Brandon, and Brady started as a colt-breaking enterprise and later included racehorse training, which taught the Myers clan the importance of good conformation, big hearts and good bloodlines. Today, the program continues to produce winners and put handles on prospects for roping, barrel racing, and cowhorse events.
