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.
