[edit] Life

F L Lady Bug was registered as number 9733 in the American Quarter Horse Association's (or AQHA) stud book. A sorrel mare, she was foaled in 1945 and bred by W. A. Yeager of Woodward, Oklahoma. Her owners at the time she was registered were Bill and Alive Likins of Davis, Oklahoma.[1] Her sire, Sergeant, was bred to a daughter of his full brother, Will Stead, to produce Lady Bug. Thus, FL Lady Bug was inbred to both Billy McCue and Silver. Her second dam was an unnamed quarter mare from the J A Ranch in Texas.[2]

She had fourteen foals, eleven of whom started races. Ten of those starters were winners, with one Champion Quarter Running Two Year Old Filly - Top Ladybug, three stakes winners, and ten Race Register of Merit winners.[3][4] All ten of her Register of Merit qualifiers were sired by different stallions.[4] She died on March 1, 1974.[3]

She was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame.[5]
