FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
88 Ranch Performance Horses, a Wyoming-based breeding and performance operation, will partner with Solo Select for a premier online sale event showcasing offspring of 88 Ranch’s Brazilian-born stallion Sheik Jean Fly HTT. This sale will take place on November 22, 2026.
Located in Central Wyoming, 88 Ranch’s program is built around the functional demands of daily ranch work. The collaborative initiative with Solo Select was born from a shared vision of showcasing the strength of the 88 Ranch breeding program while expanding Sheik Jean Fly HTT’s market reach.
“Up here, everything we do revolves around using horses,” Garrett Henry, owner of 88 Ranch, said. “We’re a traditional cattle ranch, and breeding horses for ranch use is one of the most important purposes behind our program. It’s part of our lifestyle. Our kids are growing up on these horses, competing on them, and we find a lot of joy in raising them and watching them go on to perform in the arena.”
Program Anchored by Sheik Jean Fly HTT
Central to the sale is the promotion of 88 Ranch’s standout stallion, Sheik Jean Fly HTT, a son of Brazilian sire Victory Fly 01IBR out of Tiny Martha Jean by Marthas Six Moons.
“He’s an extreme athlete, very attractive pedigree, very well put together physically,” Henry explained. “But what really makes him different is the kind of horses he produces. They’re incredibly trainable, very intelligent, and physically capable in a way that’s hard to describe until you see them move.”
Since arriving in the United States, the stallion has built an impressive book of mares that includes NFR producers and proven earners across rodeo disciplines. His first performance colts are expected to hit the arena in 2027.
“We’re on track for what we believe will be his best year as a sire,” Henry said. “We truly can’t wait to see what he does once those colts start competing.”

“We want to bring our program to Texas through this event,” Henry said. “It’s about getting these colts into the right hands and giving the world a taste of what we’re building at 88 Ranch.”
