Growing up in North Dakota, Good Horses and Horsemanship have been the cornerstone of our training and breeding program. Having the opportunity to ride with legendary horseman such as Ray Hunt, Wil Howe, Tom Lyons, Bobby Ingersoll, and numerous others has allowed a well rounded knowledge base of the western performance horse. And the opportunity to ride several outstanding horses that include World Champions and major aged event finalists. With that being said the knowledge and experience base is not bound to the confines of the arena. Having spent numerous years taking care of thousands of cattle on several different operations from the high country grazing permits of western Colorado, to the Flint Hills of Kansas, to the plains of eastern Montana, and the Badlands of North Dakota. Pride is taken in developing an outstanding, reliable ranch horse that will stay with you through the blistering hot days of summer and bitter cold days of winter. That foundation has lead to the development of countless tremendous performance horses as well.
