WELCOME BACK!!!
This post is long overdue, but we are excited to announce that after a long 7 years, Deon Locke has returned to the US from his native country of Australia and has accepted the position of Resident Reining Trainer at McGee Farms Performance Horses. We can’t begin to tell you how fortunate we are to have Deon back here with us and we look forward to training and learning from one of the best in the industry. Deon has been back with us since mid May and hasn’t slowed down since arriving. We’ve already been to two shows, with the latest being NARS. Deon was mounted on two great Derby horses and didn’t come up empty handed winning close to $3,000 aboard Silver Gun Voodoo and Voodoo Whiz!
Deon/Voodoo Whiz’s next stop is the NARS Derby in Tulsa and we can’t wait to cheer this team on.
Please help us give Deon a huge welcome back from our Reining family!!!

Way to go Lyla and Badger!!!
Another horse we owned and raised won 🥇 here at Congress yesterday!
Congratulations Karen and Gotta Hot Gun!!!
After 107 runs, this happened today!!!
Congratulations Lyla and Rippin Up The Dirt (Whizkey N Diamonds x Anne Get Your Gunner)
With much hesitation, we sold Badger last year, but only because he was not really leaving. Badger was owned and shown by one of Nathan’s customers so he still lived in our barn. About a month ago we had the opportunity to buy Badger back and this time he’s not leaving our farm! He’s truly a one of a kind horse. We were so excited that Lyla and her parents wanted to lease Badger because he loves to be ridden. Lyla has only been riding Badger a couple of weeks, but he knows and loves his job so much, he went out and did the norm…WIN!!! Check out your 2023 Congress Rookie Level 2 Champions marking a 213.5.
This was bittersweet as Lyla won in 2022 with Atlas…we miss him so much!
Our boy, Graham, will forever be in our hearts 💔!!!
When GOD made you HE broke the mold!!! There will never be another stallion as gentle and full of heart as you were our sweet Graham. We are blessed to have raised you from a yearling. 14 years of age is too young to have had to say our goodbyes, but you fought the good fight and your body was tired. Our hearts are breaking, but we will get stronger knowing you are running free again with your brother, Atlas. You boys show them how reining is done in Heaven. Until we meet again, RIP Whizkey On The Rocks!!!

After 2 years, this dynamic duo made their way back together in the show pen!!!The last time David showed Knaughtybyknature was the NRHA Derby 2020 when he officially retired himself from showing Atlas…or so we thought! After seeing the money 💰 up for grabs in yesterday’s NARS non-pro maturity class running concurrent with ancillary and SEARC classes, it was a last minute (forced by Gina) decision 😝 to sign David and Atlas up for the Maturity. It did not disappoint and with less than 90 minutes total to prepare, they marked a 217.5 with a half point penalty per judge to secure 3rd place 🥉 in the Non-Pro Levels 4 & 3, Non-Pro & SEARC Non-Pro, as well as Reserve Champion in all 3 PT classes, earning close $5,000 bringing Atlas’ LTE earnings to over $70,000. This horse LOVES to walk in that pen and show off. Thank you Lyla for all the hard work getting him ready for David…😜. Now let’s go get the High Point Rookie prize on Friday. Lyla won Rookie 1 Slate 1 and was Reserve Champion in Rookie 1 Slate 2 on Atlas with one more Slate on Friday. #magnumchicdream #princessindiamonds

David and Gina McGee founded McGee Farms Performance Horses in 2011 after their passion for the reining horse industry. The McGee's purchased their first reining horse in 2008 and David began showing the next year. It did not take long before they were "hooked" by the reining bug. David made his debut "Rookie of the Year" run in 2010 and qualified all 3 of his Rookie horses (Chics Need Money, Peppy Badger Chick and Ridin On Spinners) to compete in the Southeastern Affiliate Finals. 2 of the 3 horses (Chics Need Money and Peppy Badger Chick) qualified to go on to Oklahoma for the National Rookie of the Year. In 2011, David qualified his 8 year old Shining Spark mare, Shine On Retsina, to compete in the Southeastern Affiliate Finals and placed 3rd to be eligible to go on to Nationals. After 2 outstanding runs, David and Sparkles ended up with a 4th place Non-Pro and 5th place Intermediate and Limited Non-Pro National runs. Gina made her debut "Rookie of the Year" run in 2011 and qualified both of her Rookie horses (Chics N Salsa and Ridin On Spinners) to compete in the Southeastern Affiliate Finals. Her 4 year old mare, Chics N Salsa, qualified to go on to Oklahoma for the National Rookie of the Year and placed 19th in the Nation. In 2010, the McGee's began construction of a premier reining facility that would include a 300'x150' covered riding arena with special footing for reiners and an adjacent 150'x75' climate controlled 18 stall show barn. The riding arena was completed by the spring of 2011 and the barn was completed by the Spring of 2012. Our focus is to breed or obtain the best horses reining industry has to offer in order to be competitive at the top levels. So far we have accomplished those goals with David currently sitting 10th in the Nation in the 2019 Non-Pro Rankings!!!
We are excited for the future of McGee Farms Performance Horses and look forward to many years of success!!! See ya in the show pen!
