In a remarkable achievement for the National Reining Horse Association (NRHA), two prominent stallions have reached major multimillion-dollar milestones. NRHA Hall of Famer Gunnatrashya has become the fourth $12 million stallion in NRHA history, while Spooks Gotta Whiz has surpassed the $8 million mark.

Gunnatrashya: The $12 Million Sire

The 2006 stallion Gunnatrashya, bred by Katarina Dorminy, has an impeccable pedigree, as he is by NRHA Hall of Famer Gunner and out of Natrasha (Trashadeous). Owned by Arcese Quarter Horses USA, the sole owner of $3 million in NRHA, Gunnatrashya has demonstrated outstanding athleticism and versatility throughout his career.

Under the expert tutelage of NRHA Hall of Famer Shawn Flarida, Gunnatrashya has amassed nearly $220,000 in NRHA lifetime earnings (LTE). The pair has earned championship titles at prestigious events including the 2009 All American Quarter Horse Congress Level (L) 4 Open Futurity, the 2009 NRHA L4 Open Futurity and the 2010 NRHA L4 Open Derby.

Gunnatrashya’s top earning offspring have contributed significantly to his milestone. These include:

Spooks Gotta Whiz: The $8 Million Sire

Spooks Gotta Whiz, a 2007 stallion owned by Michell Anne Kimball, also made history by surpassing the $8 million mark in NRHA earnings. His career began with a victory at the 2010 NRHA L4 Open Futurity Championship with NRHA $3 Million Rider Jordan Larson. Bred by Clint Haverty, Spooks Gotta Whiz continued to shine under NRHA Hall of Famer Shawn Flarida, winning the L4 Open Championship at the 2012 NRHA Derby and the National Reining Breeders Classic, and earning an individual gold medal at the 2014 World Equestrian Games in Normandy, France.

Not only are these two stallions reaching milestones in earnings, but they are also leading the NRHA stallions. As of July 2024, Gunnatrashya leads the NRHA stallions of the year by a margin of approximately $60,000. He has 370 offspring with a total of $1,272,207 in earnings. Spooks Gotta Whiz is right behind him with $1,217,623 in NRHA LTE.

Congratulations to everyone who contributed to the success of these stallions and thank you for sharing this with the world.
