2011 Foals

Another summer is almost over!  And at last the 2011 foals have a slideshow for the website.  This years' babies are super nice.   They're outstanding individuals out of some of our favorite mares and sired by Basic Black Spruce AQHA and Rock Climb TB.  The "Sprucelings" as we call them,  are proving to be just what we'd hoped--exceptionally nice looking, kind, smart, athletic, quick, easy to own and train.  Each one that has entered training has progressed quickly and with minimal training issues......they're not buckers or horses that require endless training hours to gain retention of their education.  To date, 100% of the "Sprucelings" sold by Flying O Ranch have gone to very happy owners. Rock Climb is fairly new to the horse family here.......he's a gorgeous horse, impeccably well bred, with a family full of World Champion Sprinters.  His pedigree alone brings over 8 million in race winnings to a foal's family!  Athletic, smart, and very very fast, these foals are going to excel.

When you see a foal that catches your eye, please feel free to contact me for additional information, a purchase contract, pricing, transportation information etc.  The foals are all registered with their breed associations, will be halter trained, vaccinated, de-wormed, and gentle before they leave the ranch to go to their new homes. Join the ever growing group of people who own and ride a ''Spruceling.'' You won't be sorry that you did.

Financing is available to those with approved credit.  Special discounts apply to some foals as 4-H projects also.  My email address is at the bottom of this page; please contact me with any questions you might have.  Current pics are available via email and will be posted on the website ''horses for sale page'' in October.
