BREAKING RECORDS

Rodeo saw it coming in 2017 when Hailey and Sister broke the Thomas & Mack Arena record with a blistering 13.11 and the Reserve Champion title.

 SISTER

And she owes it all (at least half of it) to her Palomino mare, DM Sissy Hayday “Sister.”

DM Sissy Hayday 

Sister, a 10–year-old palomino mare, is sired by barrel-racing legend Sherry Cervi’s PC Frenchman’s Hayday, aka Dinero.

PERFECT MATCH

Hailey and Sister are very close.  "I know her like the back of my hand--I feel like I know her every move.”
