"The places a horse takes you….. what an honor for Frenchmans Guy and our family to be announced as a 2024 American Quarter Horse Association hall of fame inductee. Who would’ve ever thought a one eyed stud who was supposed to be a gelding would take us the places he has. Honored is an understatement." -Billy Myers
Foaled in 1987, Frenchmans Guy quickly made his mark in the American Quarter Horse world. While his performance record predates any modern-day recordkeeping system, his progeny and grand progeny have been at the top of the charts for the past three decades. By Sun Frost and out of Frenchmans Lady by Laughing Boy, Frenchmans Guy sired 1,969 American Quarter Horse foals that have earned more than $13 million and 2,528 AQHA points, mostly in barrel racing. His top-three leading progeny are Morning Traffic ($482,697 LTE), Teasin Dat Guy ($426,052 LTE) and Bring It On Guys ($323,718 LTE).
