Twelve calf ropers will nod their head Sunday, July 26, in the final round of tie-down roping at the 2026 Cheyenne Frontier Days.
The pen has a little bit of everything: a grade gelding, three mares and a horse from Brazil. What they almost all have in common is Doc Bar, or Doc O’Lena, or Peppy San Badger, or some combination of all three threading through multiple generations.
- OCD On Cows “Captain” is the oldest horse in Sunday’s finals at 15 years old. Fill The Thrill “Thriller” and Stylish Cowboy “Rico” are the youngest at 9 and 8 years old, respectively. Among the nine horses with confirmed ages, the field averages 12 years old.
- There are three mares in Sunday’s field: Precious Merada “Merada”, Bet U Do “Cookie” and Sailin In The Light “Loddie”. Cole Eiguren’s “Stoner” is a grade gelding. Every other horse is a registered gelding.
- High Brow Cat has three horses in this field. He’s the grandsire of Bet U Do (through Cat Man Do), the sire of Cats Merada—which makes him the grandsire of Precious Merada—and he appears twice in Fill The Thrill’s pedigree: once in the sire’s dam (Boon San Kitty by High Brow Cat) and once directly as the dam’s sire.
- The two “Stylish” horses in the field—Shane Hanchey’s Stylish Bugsy and Britt Bedke’s Stylish Cowboy—both trace to Docs Stylish Oak. Bugsy gets it through his dam, A Stylish Junebug (by Docs Stylish Oak). Rico gets it through his sire’s grandsire, Playin Stylish (also by Docs Stylish Oak).
- Grays Starlight (by Peppy San Badger) quietly connects two horses in this field: he’s in the sire line of Sailin In The Light (Quixote Light by Grays Starlight) and in the dam line of Stylish Cowboy (Delight of My Life by Grays Starlight).
- Britt Bedke and Brayden Roe are both competing Sunday on the same horse—Stylish Cowboy, “Rico.”
