Our Stallions:
In 2011, we'll be standing 4 stallions.  Provocative Cowboy is still serving us well with roan packages of speed and athleticism.  MRI Snips Spirit is the loving member of the family.  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.  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 foals  are beauties and we're just getting some started.  He is making some very cowy horses with our fast, beautiful Cowboy daughters.  Sanrose Blue Colonel, 2007 blue roan, spent the summer of 2010 in the Utah Reined Cowhorse.   Colonel showed exceptional cow for a two year old and handled well as a three year old.  We are not into spending lots of money on showing and competing and chose to bring Colonel home to use on our ranch and to breed him to our mares and some outside mares in 2011.  Our first and only foal so far was born in 2010 and was the lightest, most responsive foal at halter breaking.

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 usually pets, they generally become very gentle and quiet soon after their training begins.
We 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.   

Selling our horses - TERMS & CONDITIONS:
Our horses are available for sale by private treaty year round.  Generally, the foals are brought in about the first week of September 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.
