NPH Gunner Be A Goodnite Q-91426. The generous
incentive will pay out $5000 to the first NPH Gunner Be
A Goodnite Q-91426 progeny to win the National Reining
Futurity, one of the major Stockman’s Challenges or the
Australian Reined Cowhorse Futurity.
Warren Backhouse will also be looking forward to getting
back into competition with the talented colt, speaking with
enthusiasm on Mike’s future.
‘We got enough done without pushing the limits in Mike’s
training program. Longevity is a very important part of my
training program and I’m very confident that he will have
that, so we’re all looking forward to him having a longlasting
future in Reining. But with Covid-19, things are all
over the place and we have no choice but to wait and see
what happens.’
David and Jane Manchon feel very privileged to own a
horse of such high-calibre and wish to thank everyone
who’s had a hand in the success of Mike’s show career to
date. Of course, a special thanks and appreciation goes out
to Warren, Carol, Ashleigh and Hayley Backhouse, and of
course to the Neylon family.
NPH Gunner Be A Goodnite Q-91426 is definitely an
exciting young stallion at the top of his game right now.
Possessing the breeding, conformation, temperament and
talent that will take him ‘all the way’ in his show career
and as a sire, he is one not to take your eyes off. Warren Backhouse on NPH Gunner Be A Goodnite Q-91426
