Rope, Ranch, Rodeo
The "True All-Around" working quarter horse has been lost to the present day focus on breeding for specific individual competitive skill sets, thus restricting build types, in some cases shrinking them into what are truly Quarter Ponies not Quarter Horses, speed event horses that are too difficult to handle for the everyday skill level horseman, rope horses that are built only to handle tying down or heeling smaller calves; whereas on the working ranch the rope horse requires more height and substance to counter balance the size and power of adult cattle. Our breeding focus is to provide an All-Around Working Quarter Horse that is capable in every aspect of handling the real-life scenarios that occur on the large scale working ranches out west and can easily rate down or up for the novice to professional level rider, go from yarding on adult bulls to being smooth & fluid in the reining arena, we like them to come in around the 15.1-15.2 hand mark in height, 1,200-1,300lbs, deep cinch girth, deep hip, heavier yet athletic build type in the bone/muscle/tendon department and stand on a set of #0's preferably #1's.
Base Mare Concept
Our Brood Mare band has been primarily built around specific powerfully built Hancock, Driftwood, Lucky Blanton and Quincy Dan bred mares that possess the ability thru they're foundational tail female run lines to pass on their speed and stamina genetics they possess not to just their foals but their grand get as well. Not all mares have this ability, and this is where there is a separation of breeding practices. The ones that breed for an impressive set of papers or the ones that breed for the impressive specimen of a horse with great papers that also possess not just shear raw physical power but the hidden speed and stamina that is there when needed to close ground on runaway stock on the ranch or bringing home checks at the rodeo arena.
