8D horses

The majority of our performance + family horses are bred/born right here on the ranch.  When we do purchase youngsters, the breeders are vetted as we want to bring the best quality minds/athleticism to both of our divisions of horses.

In addition to the horses below, we have many others ranging from yearlings to finished.  Follow us on social media to watch them grow up and begin their training adventures!

Brave ( X WR This Cats Smart) is a 2020 filly, born here at the ranch.  Her dam, Cherie, is a daughter of Grays Starlight.

This filly has a lot of bone, size, and athleticism.  She's NCHA and Breeders Invitational nominated.  She spent 11 months training Erin Taormino (NRCHA) & will now move over to our family division, where she will continue with cow horse training, and begin VRH. 

Rey is a GORGEOUS 2020 gelding x Sigala Rey.

He has been extensively sorted on with earnings & trail horse deluxe... he loves to pack littles over obstacles, water, whatever you point him at.  He's a loving, uncomplicated boy we have thoroughly enjoyed! 

Gabe is a 2020 Chestnut Tobiano registered Gypsy Vanner gelding.  

This handsome colt should mature around 15hh.  He is silly, willing & smart.  And is already ranked #5 in the USA for in-hand competition, at Equine Trail Sport (among registered Gypsy Vanners). 

We purchased him from the breeder as a long-yearling, and we look forward to brining him along over the years!
