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.
