Dona Kay Rule will be swapping to NB Ladybird, and unofficially, Shelley Morgan will *unofficially* swap back to her Round 1-2 horse, “Kiss.”

Quick Facts

Now owned by 4M Equine Ranch, Teasin Dat Guy ran at the 2021 NFR with Molly Otto
Epic Guy, owned by Kristin Williams boasts over $569,000 in recorded QData lifetime earnings, a majority of which was beneath NFR talent Kassie Mowry. (Fun fact, this one is a full sibling to 4M Equine’s Epic Rokstar and by Epic Leader, Karma Loftin’s longtime stallion now owned by 4M.)
NB Ladybird, trained by Kenna Squires and owned by Nickel Bar Ranch, has over $171,000 in recorded QData earnings.
