“She runs fast, turns her barrels very square and is very easy to ride. She is kind, humble and always willing to give 110%.” says Sam Flannery, trainer of Lenas Last Streaker (owned by Deloris & Sydney Adamson).

This gelding is an outstanding cross of Fulton Ranch’s most proven lines. CS Flashlight (SI 106) is a proven performance horse sire and his get excel in the rodeo arena and on the track. His dam, KR Flingin Bugs, is a full sister to KR Last Fling (LTE $125,000+) and was raised by the Krebs Ranch in Gordon, NE.

Chris & Cathy Hughes of Sulphur, OK bought this mare on the 2008 Fulton sale as a yearling and gave this embryo to Brian Fulton before he passed in 2015.
“KR Last Fling is the kind of horse that changes your life. I will compare every other horse to her for the rest of my life. With her discipline, focus, and ability, she could have easily been a stand out in any event!” comments Ashley Schafer, trainer and jockey (owned by Joe and Carla Spitz).
