CAM Essick Photographics My goal as an artist is to capture the brilliance, detail, intelligence and authenticity of a subject.

When we take the time to study and truly invest in a subject– its easy to portray life, expression and energy extremely accurately thru a lens.

We are proud to be chasing the $20 Million Sire milestone with Gunnatrashya’s offspring, while continuing to recognize the horses that have reached the $100,000-and-up LEADERBOARD!!! It is exciting to watch these numbers grow every day, with more dollars earned and more horses added to the list. Every BREEDER, every OWNER, and every RIDER has a place in this journey, and we are sincerely grateful for the work and belief behind it. Thank you.... there's always room for more!!!!

Everything is possible...
⏳Can GUNNATRASHYA reach 1,000 Money Earners and the $20 Million Sire Milestone in the same year?

The numbers keep moving: 985 money earners
🎟️Average earnings per money earner: $19,404
19.2M & 10,025 AQHA points earned (5/2026)

🏆That is the kind of consistency, diversity, and impact very few sires ever achieve... and all thanks to an incredible group of breeders and riders and owners!!!!

Freedom carries great value because it has always been secured through service and sacrifice. This Memorial Day, we honor and remember those who gave everything.

The future of reining is built by breeders with a plan.
Dreams are part of it, so is development, so is competition. But the important difference is the "people" behind the horses.
🏆Gunnatrashya and Arcese Quarter Horses continue to join forces with world class breeders who have the motivation to build something serious. This is where the next generation of champions starts!!!!

Congratulations to Shawn Flarida on becoming an NRHA $8 Million Rider.
We are extremely proud of Shawn and grateful for every horse that helped him reach this incredible milestone. While $8 million in earnings is a massive accomplishment, Shawn’s impact goes far beyond the number.
So many of the great horses he has shown have gone on to become extraordinary sires, dams, and industry leaders... horses like Wimpys Little Chic, Gunnatrashya, Walla Walla Whiz and Andiamoe. Their influence continues through thousands of horses and generations of programs across the reining industry.
Shawn’s talent has always been undeniable, but true leadership builds something bigger than wins. It builds a legacy.
Congratulations, Shawn. We will always be grateful for the role you have played in shaping the horses, the sport, and the future of reining.
