Lazy E Ranch welcomes six exceptional stallions to its roster for the 2026 breeding season. From proven sires of Champions to rising stars poised to make their mark, this class of stallions brings elite pedigrees, standout performance records, and unmatched potential to Guthrie, Oklahoma. Here’s a closer look at the stallions joining the Lazy E Ranch legacy.
Epic Leader
Starting in 2026, Epic Leader, one of the most iconic names in barrel racing, will stand at Lazy E Ranch. With 254 money earners and counting, he has amassed over $5.9 million in progeny earnings, making him the 11th All-Time Leading Sire of Barrel Horses. His influence continues to grow as his offspring dominate at all levels of competition. Among his top performers are Epic Guy, CP He Will Be Epic, and Ima Epic Hustler, each a force in their own right. Epic Leader himself is a multiple futurity Champion and the Reserve World Champion at the BFA World Finals. Sired by Confederate Leader and out of the legendary Firewater Fiesta, his pedigree is matched only by the consistency of his production.
Traffic Guy
Joining Epic Leader at Lazy E Ranch in 2026 is Traffic Guy, an extraordinarily versatile and proven stallion. The only son of Frenchmans Guy with top-level earnings in both barrel racing and roping, Traffic Guy is a WPRA World Finals Open Champion, a PRCA money earner, and a stallion known for consistency. As a sire, he’s produced multiple futurity, slot race, and open Champions, including Stoli My Guy, Letta Traffic Do It, and Be My Valentine Guy. With progeny earnings of more than $2.2 million, Traffic Guy is a Top 25 QData sire, a rising star in both barrel and rope horse breeding.
Epic Rokstar
An exciting addition to Lazy E’s breeding barn, Epic Rokstar is set to stand his first full season in 2026. A $650,000 standout from the Pink Buckle Sale, he’s the full brother to Epic Guy (2019 Futurity Horse of the Year, LTE $564,059) and Something Epic. A son of Epic Leader, Epic Rokstar boasts exceptional conformation and trainability. Though he hasn’t officially debuted in the arena, his first foals arrived in 2024, and early indications are strong: these foals exhibit the same size, style, and smarts that define Epic Leader’s lineage. The next chapter in this dynasty is just beginning.
Shawne Streakin Jet
Another standout moving to Lazy E for the 2026 season is Shawne Streakin Jet, a proven money earner in barrels and breakaway roping, with over $107,000 in lifetime earnings. A son of A Streak Of Fling, he’s demonstrated elite athleticism and versatility, placing at major events like The Patriot, Royal Crown, Ruby Buckle, and The Memorial. In 2023, he was named AQHA High Point Barrel Racing Stallion and placed 5th at the AQHA World Show in Senior Barrels. His first foals are beginning their training now, and early reports suggest that his influence in the breeding shed will match his success in the arena.
Feel The Sting
By Dash Ta Fame and out of the legendary MP Meter My Hay (“Stingray”), Feel The Sting brings powerhouse genetics and a stellar performance record to Lazy E in 2026. With over $142,000 in lifetime earnings, he’s a WPRA World Futurity Reserve Champion, a multi-time AQHA High Point Stallion, and a dominant contender across futurities and pro rodeos. His impact as a sire is equally impressive: his offspring have earned more than $2.05 million, with over 75 money earners averaging $27,000+ each. His foals are known for their speed, trainability, and grit, traits that define winners from futurities to rodeos. Already a Top 25 QData sire, Feel The Sting is poised to elevate even further at Lazy E.
SR Industry Titan
The final addition to Lazy E’s 2026 stallion roster is SR Industry Titan, a standout performer and promising sire. By Firewaterontherocks and out of Mulberry Canyon Moon, Titan brings over $360,000 in lifetime earnings from major events like The American Rodeo, BFA, Diamonds N Dirt, and the NFR. His resume includes wins at the Panty Raid Futurity, BFA World Derby, and Greg Olson Memorial, along with strong finishes in top-tier rodeos nationwide.
