The 2011 chestnut mare by Shiners Lena Chex and out of Slynking Sugar Whiz was bred by Canyon Horse Sales LLC of Bend, Oregon. DT Elenor Shine Whiz was shown by AQHA Professional Horseman J.D. Yates of Pueblo, Colorado; Dustin Rogers of Pueblo, Colorado; and Kimberly Leiter of Martin, Tennessee. The team earned a total of 22 points by earning the world championship title in junior heading and placing eighth in junior tie-down roping.
