The hard part of standing Sawyers Game Changer at the Gragg Ranch in Oklahoma is I can’t just go outside and hug him 🥰

The positive side to it is he will be ready to ship to early for all of the early breeders out there looking for a Stallion just like Gamer 🙌🏻

💙 500 booking fee to him covers 2 priority overnight shipments, one first overnight or one flown.

🖤 the remainder of the Stallion Fee isn’t to me till your mare is 30+ days in foal.

💙 NO CHUTE FEE/FARM FEE - ZERO HIDDEN FEE’s

🖤 Extremely fertile Stallion that the Gragg Ranch does incredibly well with collecting & shipping!!!

💙 Gamer is a Proven 1D Open Money Earner and top futurity finalist! His Dam Imarealtreasure has over 150k in produce earning and is 100% for all horses of age to compete being top Barrel Horses.

Why breed to Sawyers Game Changer?!

I just had a fun morning interaction with Marilyn Whitaker about their Sawyers Game Changer filly out of Shez A Tener (Oak Tree Special)🥰

“Little Susie is the nicest, easiest to handle foal we have ever raised. When Hope Whitaker Blackmore came to help me get the photos to register her (shortly after weaning) she even asked if someone had been working with her. She was easy to halter, led right out of the stall, turned for all the different photo angles. When we trimmed her feet, she handled that like a champ as well.” - Marilyn

I said to Marilyn I actually have a somewhat similar story about Gamer! We had been haltering him (which he was insanely easy to train) yet we had not messed with his feet yet. The day the farrier came we had a little system of trimming the mares and foals with my Dad halter training on the babies. As me and the farrier waited on my dad the farrier just started playing with Gamer’s feet. He had no halter on and the farrier went around him and picked up all 4 feet no issues. So the farrier grabbed the tools and just trimmed Gamer while he just stood there no halter! May sound like a big fish story yet me and my Dad watched it with amazement.

Marilyn also this morning thanked me for recommending they color test their filly! I have seen way to many Sawyer Wood and Sawyers Game Changer’s born this color to know they will turn smoky black or black. 🤩

“I wanted to let you know that when I registered little Susie, Chip Whitaker and I had decided she looked 'smoky black' but when I tried to choose that (online), it would not come up as an option so I chose "brown" but used your recommendation and did the color panel test with it. We just got her papers back and she is 'smoky black'. It was interesting to read up on it.” - Marilyn

Gamer will have the rainbow in colors!

If you’re looking to make your own Gamer message me!

Looking for a Stud that includes 2 collections/shipments as a part of the Stallion Fee?

How about one that DOES NOT have a FARM or a CHUTE FEE?

Even better yet, one that just requires a BOOKING FEE & the rest due at HEARTBEAT?

An Eternal Champion – Firewaterontherocks, 2002-2024

On Sunday, December 22, champion sire and performer Firewaterontherocks (“Happy”) was laid to rest at age 22 after a long battle with arthritis.
“We always know these days are coming but never prepared and never easy,” said his owner and breeder Robyn Herring. “He’s just been so good to me.”
One of the all-time leading barrel horse sires, Happy’s offspring won more than $4.3 million in the arena even though they were in minimal incentive programs. Much like he was, Happy’s offspring were incredible rodeo horses with five helping to qualify riders to the National Finals Rodeo.
Some of his winningest offspring include NFR qualifier and multiple futurity champion Firewatermakemehappy, who still holds ownership of one of the fastest times ever run in the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas; the up-and-coming sire SR Industry Titan, a BFA World Derby Champion that later carried 2023 WPRA World Champion Brittany Pozzi Tonozzi to nearly $80,000 of her record-breaking earnings; NFR qualifier and round winer and College National Finals Rodeo qualifier Lena On The Rocks; multiple futurity champion and NFR qualifier LK Watch Me Rock and CNFR Champion and NFR qualifier Fame Fire Rocks.
Happy was an emerging broodmare sire with grandget earning more than $2 million. In 2024, he had his first NFR qualifier with DM High Roller, an earner of $600,000 out of his AQHA World Champion daughter Happy To Run Em. Happy’s most prolific daughter, Hip Swinging Gypsy, was responsible for producing $700,000 in earners including 2022 Pink Buckle Champion Slick Swingin; 2023 Royal Crown Buckeye Futurity Champion Slick Swingin Gypsy and 2023 BFA Juvenile Champion Streak Gypsy Streak.
The burnished gold Palomino was Herring’s first foray into raising barrel horses. She had purchased his dam Rock N Roll Rona, a daughter of 1986 World Champion Racehorse Ronas Ryon, off of the track and trained her for barrels. Rock N Roll Rona was her first futurity horse. When Herring made the decision to breed the mare, she picked the greatest barrel horse sire living at the time, Fire Water Flit.
Although she had trained Happy and had exhibitioned the stallion some, Herring was unsure he needed to be left a stallion. In June of his third year, she sent him to Latricia Duke while still questioning that status. His success in the arena left no doubt.
Happy started his career winning the 2D average at the BFA Juvenile but by January he was winning futurity rounds. He ran third at the San Antonio Futurity, Victory Farms Futurity and WPRA Windy Sue Futurity and was a finalist at the BFA World Championships, Gold and Silver Cup futurities and won the Old Fort Days Futurity Consolation.
As a rodeo horse, Happy just got better. He won the Reno Rodeo in Nevada and the Dixie National in Jackson, Mississippi, as well as tough Texas rodeos in Pecos, Corpus Christi, Lufkin, Vernon, Beaumont, Belton and Mercedes.
Happy and Herring missed the National Finals Rodeo twice, finishing 26th in 2011 and 17th in 2012. Both years, Happy had to have significant breaks due to illness or injury. Their most memorable finish was at RFD-Tv’s The American in 2014 where they finished as reserve champions.

Our deepest condolences to Robyn Herring on the loss of a once-in-a-lifetime horse.
