2010 Spring/Summer Sales List

2010 marks our 30th year breeding "horses to match our mountains."  We've always emphasized naturalness of gait, sweet disposition, substantial bone, athletic ability and beauty.  Central to our breeding program for the last decade was the late Pride Piper, the last standing son of Pride of Midnight H.F., known for his barefoot running walk, light-shod show record (including a reserve championship at the Celebration), and striking appearance.  His son Piper's Pride of Absaroka, a powerful, athletic chestnut like his sire, is now producing tall, athletic colts.  (With Pride, at age three, Dan rounded up our cattle in the hills alone, then went the next day to a show where he took five ribbons!)  Absaroka Silver Dollar is ultra-gentle, grey, and powerful.  We’ve been particularly pleased with Dollar foals from Piper mares.  Lastly, we’ve added Bubba the Gaited Jack to answer the growing demand for gaited mules.  We’ve been extremely pleased with his first two foal crops and are enjoying this new endeavor of producing “long-ears” with their mothers’ head-nodding running walks.  

            In an endeavor to ease our work load Emily and I are listing our outstanding, proven broodmares for sale this year.  These are available for purchase three ways:  mare in foal (before foaling), mare with foal at side, or mare with foal at side and bred back to Pride, Dollar, or Bubba.  Most of the mares this year are bred to Bubba the Gaited Jack.  Please note:

• All horses are registered and blood-typed.

• All prices include transfer of registration and brand inspection (required in our state even though the horses are not branded).

• All prices subject to change (particularly as horses progress in training).

• For horses currently in training, “started” refers to approximately thirty days training including ground work and 10-15 rides.  “Well-started” indicates considerable riding on the ranch outside of the arena.  A performance checklist is kept showing the accomplishment of each horse and is updated after each session.
