Bravo Arnaud !!!

In what announcers called the greatest upset in reining history, Arnaud Girinon and Flexing Guns N Town stormed into the arena and marked a 232 to win the 2025 The Run For A Million.

From ground-eating stops to textbook spins, Girinon smiled through every maneuver, soaking in the bright lights of Vegas before the score was even announced. The crowd erupted, and a new chapter in TRFAM history was written.

The 2025 PCRS was a great show, thank you very much for SQRHA for a great organization.
We were amazed with how many of our PPH horses were competing and also now the horses coming from mares we have produced.
Genetic goes a long way and always has a life time effect on the results in the show pen.
Congratulations to Tyler and Samantha for breeding and training “ Thunderstruck “. His mother ,” Einsteins Smart Solution “ is becoming a great producer.
Corey and Hayley Smith from HPH Horses for the win with “ Whiskey on the bar “ out of the mare “ Spooked At The Bar .
and finally Tracey Strelitz for breeding “ Voodoo Ruf Gal “ out of the mare “ Not Ruf Whiz Me “ ,trained and shown by John Wicks .

Thank you for adding our genetic in your breeding program. Yves

"It's so awesome, I didn't realize we won!" she said. "My horse is great-minded, so everything is fun and easy. I just tried to keep everything consistent, and Debbie Brown, my trainer, and Cade McCutcheon, did an amazing job. He exceeded all expectations. He has everything and is really good at every maneuver. I really want to thank my family, my boyfriend and everyone behind me for the continuous support, and of course Debbie for all the work she did with this and all my horses."
