THE SMOOTH-GAITED ROCKY MOUNTAIN HORSE
and
Olde English Southdown Babydoll Sheep
HORSES have been our life-long passion and we are blessed to be able to realize our dreams of owning and breeding what we feel are superior breeds for trail riding, driving, jumping and many other disciplines.
Our focus is always on breeding for the FINEST QUALITY animal by comparing bloodlines, temperaments and conformations.
You will find details of the history of these breeds and many photos on our additional pages.
All breeds introduced on our website are classified as RARE by the following organizations:

Please take the time to view the photos of our Stallion and Mares. We take great pride in our beloved horses and we hope you will enjoy these pictures.
We feed all of our horses a combination of high quality Orchard grass and Nutrena supplemental feed appropriate for their age group. They are also given free-choice, loose minerals and salt and always fresh clean water. We keep our horses in tip-top condition and we start our foals out in life the same way. As foals grow, their bodies demand a combination of nutrients that if not given early will affect their optimum development.
All of our foals are imprinted at birth and handled with loving and respectful care. We work with them daily to be comfortable wearing a halter, having their body and legs handled and hooves picked up. We allow our mares and foals to create solid bonds before we begin our imprinting process. As our foals mature, they are led over tarps and wooden bridges. They are introduced to our dogs, goats, sheep, miniature horses, bicycles, clippers, trailering and noisy farm equipment. We strive to teach our foals to have a relaxed, confidence about them, when they leave our farm to embark on their new lives.
