Kansas Sunflower Futurity & Derby

12/01/2022

We haven’t been posting much, because me and this guy ⬇️ are on a break! He’s tired, I’m tired, we’re all tired!😂

But just because we’re not out making runs, doesn’t mean we’re slacking at home. In the last few weeks we’ve been finishing up registrations, submitting our breeding report, trimming feet (sooooo many feet!), working with colts, riding the young ones, and getting ready for foaling/breeding season which will be here before we know it!

We are still offering our early booking discount through the end of the year, so get in touch if you’d like us to send you a contract.

We’ve got a couple of weanlings/yearlings still available if you’re shopping (they won’t fit under the tree, but they’d make an awesome Christmas present!).

Mares start foaling in mid-February, so if you’re looking for a 2023 foal out of one of our mares, get in touch so we can put you on the wait list.

I can not thank this lady enough! When I reached out to Jennifer Baker about the Kansas Sunflower she immediately knew she wanted to be involved. She visited with her husband Brock and got back with me the very next day about sponsoring. They enthusiastically decided to have Vitalio be our headlining sponsor for the Futurity and Derby. ♥️ I hope everyone gives their special boy a good look when considering who to take their mares to in 2023. Vitalio has a wonderful disposition, is a great outcross for many modern barrel horse lines, is proving to be a great rodeo horse and has some beautiful offspring on the ground. We are going to catch up with Jennifer and Vitalio on Friday at Dodge City Roundup before the KPRA finals. Tune in Friday to meet ”Vinny” on a Facebook Live with us! 🌻♥️🌻

Thank you for the great picture, Kylene Scott Photography!

We are really happy we added this to the 2022 event. This was our way of honoring everyone who has been involved in the Kansas Sunflower Futurity over the years! We are pumped to see how big it will grow! Just another reason to have a futurity horse in the Kansas Sunflower Futurity! 🌻♥️
