I know this is like trying to find a needle in a haystack but thought I’d throw it out there in an off chance someone knows who I’m taking about.
There was a family in Missouri that was breeding Paints for barrel racing about 10 years ago. It was a smaller operation but had some nice lines and they were standing a really nice proven barrel racing paint stud with a name like (Heavy Hauler, Holling Heavy—something like that - I already checked APHA but only exact matches of that name come up and none are it).
The man who owned the operation did so with his wife and daughters and about 8 years ago (give or take) the husband had a massive heart attack and passed away. That paint stud was sold into Canada around the same time and I’m guessing that operation slowly faded away.
I know this is like asking if you know Sally from New York City but I have nothing to lose by throwing this out there so thought I’d ask if anyone may recognize this story and can pass along some information on the name.

There was family that lived down by Jackson MO that had a paint stud.....ran at Flickerwood a lot. If I think of their name I will post it, drawing a blank right now.

Thanks for the reply. If that family lost the father/husband to a heart attack that's probably who I'm looking for. If you think of the name please let me know.
