Another year rolls around and the excitement of seeing what foals we get in the spring is another reminder of why we are thankful the Good Lord has put us to tending some of the most beautiful creatures in His Creation.  The horses He has blessed us with are definitely beautiful, colorful, classy, cowy, and athletic. 

Our Mares:
It seems like with every mare we say she's one of our best.  They really are fantastic girls and each of them is one of the best.  We hate to see the older ones go.  That's why they stay with us until we really can't care for them any longer.  We have some awesome old mares for sale if you want to feed them and get an incredible foal next spring.  Due to lack of pasture and new mares coming into the herd, we are also offering more of the younger mares for sale.

Our Stallions:
2009 found us AIing several mares to some stand out stallions and pasture breeding to three stallions.  Provocative Cowboy is still serving us well with roan packages of speed and athleticism.  MRI Snips Spirit won many hearts last summer in the few eastern Montana horse show circuit shows we attended.  He is not only gorgeous.  He's a sweetheart.  Spirit is a standout buckskin roan grandson of Cowboy and son of Weavers Doc Ima Poco .  You could "sip a glass of wine" while riding him.  We also added another stallion last year.  Redeemed Lynx is a 1998 black stallion who we are really proud to own.  He is smart, sensitive, cowy, and very pretty.  He also travels very smoothly with good feet and legs and he has the ideal Quarter Horse head.  His first foals hit the ground this spring and they are beauties.  He should make some very cowy horses with our fast, beautiful Cowboy daughters.  Sanrose Blue Colonel, 2007 blue roan, is doing so well in training in Utah that we will leave him there.  He shows exceptional cow for a two year old.  We have a couple of fillies bred to him for 2010 foals and are anxious to see them.

How we run our horses:
Many people want to hear how we run our horses.  Our mares are range mares and run at pasture year round.  They foal unassisted which means we lose some each year to predators and spring storms that come up suddenly.  The foals learn to travel over country and deal with rattlesnakes, rough country, and rough weather and drought.  The first time the foals are handled is the end of August when we halter break.  The foals are fed through the winter.  The spring of their yearling year, we geld them and trim feet and put them out to pasture.  They stay at pasture until brought in as 2 or 3 year olds for training.  While they are not pets, they generally become very gentle and quiet soon after their training begins.

Selling our horses:
Our horses are available for sale by private treaty year round.  This year, the foals were brought in over Labor Day weekend for halter breaking,  trimming, worming  and then put on whole oats with the mares.  Beginning in 2005, we ceased holding production sales, and began selling all horses private treaty.  Foals and some older horses are for sale and we have a price list at the ranch.  In May, we geld and trim the feet of the yearlings before turning them out to pasture where they stay until sold or brought in for breaking.  The prices on the horses increase at this time and as additional work is done with them.
We will also have a Horse SHOWCASE at Town and Country Day in Circle every September at the fairgrounds.  You can see us ride in the parade at 10 a.m. and then come down and talk horse with us.    Another exciting development is our SPUR breeders' group sale which will premier  June 12, 2010 at the Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch in Billings, Montana!

We welcome you to come visit us at the ranch to see the horses.  If you are unable to come to eastern Montana, then please call to let us know how we can help you.  We have your next best friend ready to load in the trailer!

Our horses are guaranteed for conformation and disposition when sold.
Buyer assumes all responsibility at time of sale.
