GUNNERS BUNNY BID VP

GUNNERS BUNNY BID VP carries a powerful dual-dynasty pedigree that merges the two most dominant bloodline traditions in modern western performance horses. On the sire's side (via THIRTY OT SIX VP), the horse traces directly to GUNNERS SPECIAL NITE — a $235,000+ NRHA LTE earner who was the first reining horse to be honored with the USEF Horse of the Year award — and back to his legendary sire, COLONELS SMOKING GUN (“Gunner”). Gunner, an NRHA Hall of Famer and All-Time Leading Sire, is the only NRHA $15 Million Sire in history. With nearly 1,000 NRHA money-earning offspring to his name, Gunner's progeny have consistently excelled in the show pen. Gunner's greatest sons have continued this dynasty: Gunnatrashya and Gunner now stand as the only father-son duo in NRHA history to both surpass the $15 million sire mark, while Gunners Special Nite continues to shine as an NRHA $8 Million Sire, crossing the $7 million mark in April 2024 and reaching $8 million during the 2024 NRHA Futurity and NAAC. Gunners Special Nite won WEG Team and Individual Gold Medals and was named the 2010 USEF Horse of the Year — the first time a Western horse ever received that honor. On the dam's side, BUNNY BID (1968, Sorrel, AQHA #, by DOUBLE BID out of EASTER ROSE) was a significant AQHA stallion, who accumulated 104 points, 23 ROMs, 16 Championships, and $214,028 in progeny/performance earnings, and produced an American Quarter Horse Racing Champion, adding speed, athleticism, and proven AQHA point-earning genetics to the dam line (via JC DOCS WINK). Together, GUNNERS BUNNY BID VP unites the contemporary reining royalty of the Gunner dynasty with a deep-rooted AQHA foundation bloodline that has demonstrated versatility across western performance disciplines for over five decades.
