Here's an outstanding young gelding! He was
started as a two year old at Ken McNabb's Natural Horsemanship
Clinic in Wyoming, and ridden here at the ranch the following
summer. He recently came home from sixty days with our
trainer and he's ready to start a new career. He's good looking, has
a fantastic pedigree, is riding great, and has the disposition to be
an exceptional individual. Look through his pedigree..........every
horse in it is either a World Champion, race winner or a producer of
race winners, so the speed is there, and we know he has the mind and
ability. He's safe and sane to be around, has no bad
habits that I'm aware of, ties, hauls, shoes, trims etc. with no
problems. He side passes, backs, has a good stop, responds to
leg pressure nicely, picks up his leads, loads, hauls. UTD on
everything! If you're looking for a great prospect for the new
season......here he is. He's ready for you to get on him and go on
with his training. Sold, thank you Randy
and Laura Gray. Big Shot will be competing north of the border
in the future.

This big and beautifully made gorgeous gelding is just about as nice as
he can be..a very bright sorrel with the lightest flaxen mane and
tail is only part of the picture....first of all, he's going to mature well over 16
hands, secondly, he has a pedigree stacked with winners, and, last,
but not least, he's training just the way we thought he would.
His flashy color and common sense disposition are certainly an added
incentive to look him over. Up close in his family you'll find World Champions,
leading dams and sires, APHA World Show winning sires and more!
Currently at the trainers, he's being started over small jumps and
prepared for his career. He has a naturally correct headset, a flat kneed way of
moving, and the desire to do things right. He's an easy keeper
as the pictures below portray.....that's him in his everyday
condition out on dry summer pasture. His sire, Big Country, a race winner himself, is
siring good minded athletic performance horses. The grandsire,
Star Look, was a multiple World Champion runner whose career was cut
short by his untimely death as a very young horse. Of course,
Easy Jet, Easy Country Music and Indian Music helped to write racing
history. Indians Image and Cherokee Indian are legendary sires
of rope, race, and winning performance individuals.......and Spotted
Bar Bull graces the pedigrees of many many speed and performance
Quarter Horses as well. This young gelding is training
perfectly,,,,no buck, no bad behavior....just a good work ethic and
willing performance ability bred right into this guy!
UPDATE: He's started over low jumps and he loves
it!!!,,,,,video available.
Tiny has been sold and he's going to
Canada!! Thank you Randy and Laura Gray!

Horse, & Shawne Bug, one of the greatest AQHA sires of speed and
performance. The bottom side of his pedigree features some of all
time greatest rope horses in Paint history..........you can't go
wrong with this good colt. Tru Bruiser is an APHA World and Congress

prospect......Western Bugs is also a solid 1-D barrel sire!!
This colt would be an incredibly nice competitor for the APHA show

This is the first
foal out of a very tall (16 + hands), well muscled, beautiful
moving, quiet and kind TB dam. He’s a
pretty mover, flat kneed, smart and especially enjoys “people
attention.” He’s absolutely correct with a long slim
neck, big hip, gorgeous tiny head with big soft eyes. Take a look through his
pedigree……it’s filled with winning performance/race horses and
we’re confident that Skeeter’s capable of following the family
tradition. Just home from thirty days of light riding, he's
nicely started......kind, gentle, and a nice nice athlete.
He's quick, has great ground manners, will walk, trot, canter in
circles both directions, backs, load, haul, tie and all the rest of
the things you'd like a young horse to do well. He represents
winning bloodlines and World Champions in both speedbred horses and cowbreds.....and
exhibits the best qualities of both. This is a nice colt!
Skeeter has been sold and he'll
be going to Canada as well. Thank you Randy and Laura Gray!

Fantastic barrel
prospect that is bred the best………his dam is a daughter of proven
barrel and performance sire, Western Bugs ROM Heading, Heeling and
Race and out of a ROM race/producing daughter of leading broodmare sire Shawne Bug
AQHA. Hey Bugs is sired by our Big Country who is a son of World
Champion race horse, Star Look and out of a full sister to World
Champion and sire of World Champions, Easy Jet Too……who is also one
of the leading sires of money winning race horses in racing history.
Hey Bugs is spending thirty days with our trainer and
will be available for sale after October 1st. This is an
excellent barrel prospect with a lot of speed and ability. He
is not, however, a horse for an amateur rider. He's ready to
finish your way as he has had all the basics. He responds to
leg pressure, backs, picks up his leads, has good ground manners,
loads, hauls, ties and all the rest. He's just a bit too quick
for an amateur rider. This is a great colt with a pedigree
that reads SPEED. Hey Bugs is bred to compete with the good ones and
we think he will.
Sold!! Thank you Quinley's, Tennessee. |

This filly is a
half sib to Headley’s good 1-D horse, Mz. Simply Flashy, who won the
Dixie Nationals 2005, placed third at the 2005 APHA World Show in
Junior Barrels, and continued her winning ways in 2006, placing in
the top five in multiple events at the APHA World Show!
‘Zippin’ is
riding very nicely having spent the summer in training. She’s kind,
gentle and intelligent, has beautiful gaits, changes leads
perfectly, & has perfect ground manners.
Her sire, Vijar,
is a son of Elkman TB who is also the sire of the outstanding young
race sire, Relagate TB. Vijar’s dam is a AAA daughter of All
American Futurity winner Moon Lark. This is an outstanding prospect
with tons of ability and speed……..she has the pedigree,
conformation, and good mind to be an outstanding barrel prospect.
Sold to Chris and
SaraBeth Thompson, Tennessee. Thank you.
And here she is, all grown up!
Congratulations on your successes with her this year.....we can
hardly wait for 2008!
Starting out in 2007: Zippin on the ranch in 2005:

This good
looking daughter of Big Country had a foaling incident in 2006--an
assisted delivery of a backwards deceased foal--so I decided not to
breed her again and returned her to training. I have no reason
to believe that she's not breeding sound, but I won't guarantee that
she is. She's been back to the trainer (she was ridden as a
two and three year old here on the ranch), and spent this spring on
a ranch being ridden for calving checks......she's an
energetic, good minded, fun-to-ride horse, not for a beginner or a
child, but for someone who really enjoys riding a top equine
athlete. She's ambitious, honest and a hard working
horse.......the kind you can ride all day if that's what you need to
do! She's a perfect ranch horse for someone with a lot of
country to cover......she's not hugely tall,,,,,,stands about 14.3,
but she'll carry what's asked of her. She's heavily muscled,
sure footed, and will watch a cow. This is a nice young mare, a good ride,,,,,,but I don't need any
more ranch horses, so she's being offered for sale. In
addition to being good at general ranch work, I think she'd make a
super barrel or pole horse......she's very quick and smart. No
bad habits or vices......UTD on everything and ready to go to a new
home. Sharp looking, friendly, athletic---she needs a job!
SOLD. Thank you to Jackie Knudson & her
parents, North Dakota.

This
absolutely stunning bay toby gelding is being offered for sale as a
project horse for an experienced rider. Bred the best, great
looking, kind and sweet, he had a bumpy start, and, even though he's
been back to the trainer for sixty plus days and is riding well
enough that he's been used to pony colts, I want him to go to an
experienced horse person. Take a look at the
pedigree.......it's a no-holes, good one filled with tons of
athletic ability and AAA speed, Champions, and horses whose names
are household words to horse-people. Please contact me for
more information if you're interested in this beautiful gelding.
His price is very negotiable to the right home........ He's
sound, loads and hauls well, trims, shoes, is UTD on everything.
He's not a bucker,,,,,,just has some trust issues with
people.....quiet and consistent handling is the key to getting along
with him. He's not mean, doesn't bite, kick, strike, rear or
do any of the kinds of things that make a horse scary. He's
just very very quick to respond to anything new in his environment
until he becomes accustomed to it. He's a great project for
someone with above average riding skills! And I do believe
he'll reward your efforts by being an excellent horse.
Call or email for a price and/or more info on this
pretty gelding. I would be really pleased to send him to someone who
will do good things with him! He deserves that much.
SOLD! Thank you to Samantha Pringle from
Washington! |
