Why Choose A Ranch Horse

When you buy a horse that has earned his living working in real working cattle ranch situations, you are buying a horse that knows how to handle himself in rough terrain, keep his cool when chaos errupts and form a working partnership with his rider.  These horses are expected to help you open gates, gather, rope and doctor cattle, drag calves, pack implements and go out in any type of weather to complete tasks. A ranch horse has to have good ground manners, be able to stand tied for hours and jump in and out of trailers without hesitation. Most have been ridden by people that make their living riding horses and expect their horses to be good, solid citizens with impeccable manners. Very few have been started young and drilled in the arena or been overfed as youngsters to go to a sale ring. 

​

Some of these horses have had a lot of arena schooling and come with a soft, flexed neck and head set. Many carry themselves naturally since a good ranch horse has to keep his head up to see what lies ahead. Most of these horses can go straight into team penning and sorting, ranch trail, western dressage, team roping, ranch roping and ranch riding with some slight adjustments.

​

We only consign horses from exceptional  horsemen, working cowboys, trainers and breeders. You're not buying someone else's problem horse or bad habits. Most of these horses are for sale because the owners are bringing along younger horses and need room in their string  for new ones. Whatever your tastes, you're sure to find your new equine partner here. Many horses have graduated from ranch work to become upper level dressage horses, money earning team roping, team penning and sorting horses and extreme trail competitors. If you're ready to have fun and take your horsemanship to the next level we can help find the right horse for you.
