Winners is by the great Olympia Joe, APHA, of racing and cow horse fame. He was listed by APHA as a leading performance sire. His dam was Win A Bunny, who was an APHA performance point earner who goes back to Awahe Bunny on the dam’s side. Winners is the true family horse. Both Wendell and Peggy have ridden him to many championships. He has APHA points in cutting, reining, western horsemanship, and working cow horse. He has been a loyal horse and one that they could always count on to give his heart and try his best every time he was shown. Winners has the Medicine Hat coat pattern and Chest Shield that are prized markings, considered sacred by the Native Americans on their war horses. Winners has been retired to oversee the ranch operations in Sedalia. He delights in protecting the broodmares and looking after the new foals.In 2020, Winners is 31 years old and still going strong.
