Thought it would be fun to do a pedigree comparison on MP Meter My Hay a.k.a. Stingray and Honor Thy Frenchmans a.k.a. Bo!

HONOR THY FRENCHMAN - 2005 Buckskin Gelding
(Frenchmans Feature-Honey Ofa Jet, Jet Of Honor)
SIMILARITIES:
The three primary things that struck me were 1) Both horses carry Sun Frost on the top sides of their sires, with Stingray being a Granddaughter and Bo being a great grandson. 2) Both horses go to Jet Deck thru the topside of their broodmare sires with him showing up in the 4th generation on Stingray and in the 3rd generation on Bo. 3) Neither horses carries even a spec of either Dash For Cash or Fire Water Flit, which are two very dominant influences in many barrel horse pedigrees.
The broodmare sire of Stingray is Bar Tonto Jet by Count Jet by Jet Deck. Bar Tonto Jet is out of Leap Bar by Bar Tonto by Three Bars (TB).
The broodmare sire of Bo is Jet Of Honor, by Jet Deck. Jet Of Honor is out of Quincy Liz by Lighting Bar by Three Bars (TB).
Both horses pedigrees are influenced by foundation cow/running breeding thru their sires' top sides and bottom sides as both are descendants of Sun Frost who also carry the blood of Caseys Ladylove thru their sires female families with PC Frenchmans Hayday being out of Caseys Charm, a daughter of Caseys Ladylove, and Frenchmans Feature, by Frenchmans Guy who is out of Frenchmans Lady, another daughter of Caseys Ladylove.
