Stingray – World Champion Barrel Horse In the world of barrel
racing, Sherry Cervi is a household name. The first cowgirl to
bring home over $2 million in earnings (currently standing at
over $3 million), her career has been a study in grit, class, and
perseverance. Sherry has been supported by some amazing equine
talent, and one such special partnership was with a mare named MP
Meter My Hay, better known as Stingray. The palomino mare (PC
Frenchmans Hayday x Miss Meter Jet) was bred and raised by
Sherry’s parents on their Arizona ranch. Together, Sherry and
Stingray clinched the 2010 World Champion title, and came back to
win it again in 2013, where they set a National Finals Rodeo
average record of 138. 15 seconds in 10 runs - an incredible feat
that speaks to the mare’s amazing consistency. That same year
Stingray was awarded the “Horse with the Most Heart” award, as
voted by the world’s top 15 barrel racers. Now retired, her fans
are eager to see what her offspring will achieve! As a way to
give back to the Western community, Sherry created the Sherry
Cervi Youth Championships in 2008. A barrel racing event held
three times a year for kids ages 18 and under, Sherry makes it a
point to meet every contestant and inspire the next generation of
champions! From the Manufacturer: Breyer is the maker of the
