FROZEN SHINING GUN and MATT PALMER - TRFAM Open Shootout 🔥 Some penalties hurt our score, but it felt great to get back out there with Gangus. Thank you to owner Rachel Stanevich for the opportunity to show this horse, and thank you Gangus for another great ride!
We missed qualifying for The Run For A Million 2025 by just a hair here in Vegas… but couldn’t be more proud of how our horses showed on the reining world’s biggest stage as part of Matt’s comeback from his injury at the Cactus! We’re not giving up, and we will be back even stronger, even better at the next TRFAM Qualifier! THANK YOU to our horses, our owners, our sponsors, and Taylor Sheridan for putting on yet another INCREDIBLE event!
Next up for our TRFAM Qualifier Entries - IM PAINTED SPECIAL 🔥 Matt had the opportunity to show Sam twice last year - marking a 225.5 and a 226. Plans to do that again at Cactus got cut short, so we’re looking forward to this opportunity to see this duo back together! #WhyNotUs #horsetrainer #eastcoastreiners #quarterhorse #nrha #reining #reininghorse #aqha #TRFAM #thelastcowboy #mattpalmer
We sure have been enjoying making up for lost time on our 3 year olds while at the NRHA Derby!

What happened at the Cactus Reining Classic
After starting the year hot, including winning the $5000 Added Open in FL on “Gangus” and the $5000 Added Open in AZ on “Simba”, along with multiple other Top 5 finishes throughout the Aged Events, our week came to an abrupt halt and a devastating end in Scottsdale.
In an unfortunate and completely unpredictable accident, Gangus lost his footing during a rollback while practicing for TRFAM Qualifiers. He fell on Matt, and while we’re beyond grateful this scary incident didn’t end worse, the fall resulted in a broken foot for Matt, and an end to riding for a few weeks. This is truly a devastating time, as Matt’s horses were schooled, ready, and riding incredibly in Scottsdale. Gangus especially has been on a hot streak lately in the show pen, mounting our confidence that Matt was going to qualify for The Run for A Million this year. After the countless hours of studying, practice, preparations, and planning, this devastating feeling is indescribable.
However, we are trying to stay positive and focused on what is ahead. We can’t even begin to put into words how much we appreciate all who have jumped in to help without a second thought, and all those who have reached out offering support and encouragement.
To our loyal clients - thank you for trusting us and sticking by our side as we navigate these challenges. To our competitors - thank you for your compassion and words of encouragement. To our friends and family - thank you for being there and helping us when we need it most, as you always do. We will be back for the summer shows, and will sure be fighting to make up for lost time! Matt is ever so close to that Million Dollar Rider mark, and while this may be a setback, it will only fuel us moving forward. Because after all, WHY NOT US?
