Miss Emma Pyron, Barrel Horse Broodmare   1985 Bay Mare

Miss Emma Pyron, Barrel Horse Broodmare, photo taken August, 2006, age: 21

Emma is an own daughter of Bugs Alive In 75, a stallion that for years has found a significant place in the pedigrees of money-winning barrel horses. The September 2007 edition of Barrel Horse News lists Bugs Alive In 75 as the number one leading maternal grandsire of barrel horses over the last 10 years, and there is no other horse even close. And by the way, when you look at the statistics, pay attention to the number of horses reported. If only one or two horses contribute to a high rating, then that winning horse could be a fluke. In the last 10 years, Bugs Alive In 75 had 216 money winning horses contribute to his rating, with winnings of over $1.2 million! That suggests this blood wins when crossed with many different types of mares, and when the horses are ridden by many different riders.

Bugs Alive In 75 own daughters are really rare, especially in our area of the country, and this one is special. 'Emma' is a big bay, 15'1 and heavy boned, with straight legs and a beautiful head with chiseled features and very wide-set eyes.

Emma has a Racing ROM (Register of Merit) and a best Speed Index of 91. Two (2) of her foals have gone on to earn Racing ROMs. We recently heard from the owner of a mare out of Emma who reports that her horse is currently running 1D times in Oklahoma.

A stallion out of Emma, Verily Six Bugs, is now in New York at Outlaw Acres, where he has started to win big time in both barrels and poles. Tanner received three (3) awards from the American Quarter Horse Association at the end of his 4 year old year - his first year of competition:

4th place in the nation in Junior Barrel Racing,

7th place in the nation in Open Barrel Racing,

and

High Point Open Barrel Racing Stallion for 2006!

We currently own one horse out of Emma: Fire Water Magic, a 2003 stallion by Fire Water Flit.

Emma is the matron of our herd. She has had a foal by Streakin Six, the paternal grandfather of our young stallion, and now she has one by Verily Sixes, the grandson. The great bloodlines of the past are still available today, but they are rare! Bugs Alive In 75 is making his mark today as the leading maternal grandsire of money winning barrel horses. To get him in that place in the pedigree, you must have an own daughter, and for us, that daughter is Miss Emma Pyron.
