Proven Bloodlines. Exceptional Futures.

For more than a hundred years, cattle and sheep have been raised on our West Texas ranch and quarter horses have always been a part of that history. Believing in the low stress benefits of working animals from horseback and having found limited nearby resources for high quality equine partners, the current generation turned their passion for horses into a quality, performance quarter horse breeding operation. Learn more about us.

In addition to meeting our own working ranch needs, our breeding program focuses on pairing top notch bloodlines to offer quality performance horses for sale in both roping and barrel horse applications. Learn more about what is available now.
