“Arrow” 2012 AQHA Black Gelding $35,000.
| Arrow is a 15.1 hand, 1250lb, 10 yr old fancy black ranch gelding with some chrome. This is one of those ol’ timey type QH’s that you don’t find very much anymore. The kind they used to take in the show pen and win the halter with, throw a saddle on and go win the cattle events, throw the kids on, go home and ranch on him till the next show. He is very gentle and an in your pocket type personality that is real easy to get along with. This is a superior ranch horse that is as good a horse outside as we have had, cross any water, pile thru rocks and thick brush with ease. Lots of cow sense and will be easy and quiet when needed and fast and catty when asked. Arrow will be excellent at all ranch duties in and out of the pen, roped a lot of cattle outside and is very stout by the horn. He is a finished head horse and has been hauled and won on. I believe this is the fastest horse I have ever owned. Big, stout, square made, good looking stick! Arrow is a son of 6666’s stallion Bigtime Favorite, earner of $325,000 and offspring earning over 7 million. He is one of those jaw dropping, head turner kind, that has all the ability and talent to back up his looks and pedigree. |

An own son of WR This Cats Smart, a NCHA & NRCHA all time leading sire whos get have won over $14.5 million and out of an own daughter of Playgun. This is a very nice gelding that came out of a great program, started as a working cowhorse, and has been used as a ranch horse since broke. He will have a flying lead change, stop and turn around like one should and hook up on a cow and fence one in the arena. A really nice horse to ranch on, sure footed in any terrain, cross water, big ’ol trot with lots of bottom. Tended lots of cattle in BIG country, roped outside and in the pens, drug lots of calves to brand. Real handy in the pens stripping or sorting, automatic on gates.

“Crow” 2016 AQHA Sorrel Gelding $25,000.
Sold: Thank You to repeat customer Chad-Kansas
| Crow is a 5yr old, 15.1 hand, 1250 lb stout, solid built, Sorrel gelding. Bred by the famous Matador ranch in Texas and carries their brands. This is a sure nuff top end, high caliber ranch gelding that has and can do it all on the ranch. He is very broke in the bridle, big stopping, very cowy, quick footed and catty on a cow especially for a big horse and is as nice a horse to rope on as you’ll find. He is gentle and stays gentle even with being thrown out in the pasture for weeks. Crow has been in my string for the past year plus and because of us moving this summer from NM to Texas I know he can be caught out of the pasture fresh, cinch up and go rope or do anything asked of him without a hump or question. He had been started in the arena roping, hauled and won on at several double mugging and ranch rodeos by a very good hand, when we bought him. Crow is a superior horse outside and will get through the thickest of brush, rocks, cactus and the steepest terrain you can ride in, and rope anything in that same country. Tended lots of cattle in big country, Texas and NM. Double tough nice young gelding that has seen and done as much as most old ones, but will last you for many years. |
