Merritt Quarter Horses Chip, Kathy, Brady & Corey The Start of A Tradition... It all began in 1880 when my great-grandfather, Vince Hayes, trailed a herd of good mares from Ft. Riley, Nevada to Thermopolis, Wyoming. His two sons, Buster and Laurie, continued the tradition of raising and riding top horses and sought ways to improve them. Around 1951, they purchased Texas Blue Bonnet, a son of Joe Hancock. They started crossing him on their own mares and in 1955 a Patron mare bred to him produced a foal named Plenty Coup, who went on to also produce many top colts. Vince Hayes in the late 1800s. At about the same time my grandfather, King Merritt, brought one of the first Quarter Horse stallions, “Old Red Buck P-9” to Wyoming. As a respected horseman, King had judged the first Quarter Horse show in California. He and all his children were well known for their horsemanship skills. King and his son Hyde brought additional stallions to Wyoming, including Ambrose and Patron. Hyde inherited from his father the satisfaction of riding a good horse he knew he had raised. In the fall of 1956, Ken Gunter gave Del Haverty the pick of the Red Man colts. Del picked a blue roan stallion named Blue Valentine. Del trained Blue to rope Buster and Laurie Hayes calves, tie-down team rope, and haze dogging steers. Blue later was most famous as a steer roping horse but Del always felt he was a better calf horse than anything. Del sold half interest in Blue Valentine to Buster and Laurie Hayes. Buster and Laurie stood Texas Blue Bonnet, Plenty Coup, and Blue Valentine. It was quite an experience to see these studs out with the excellent set of mares Buster and Laurie had accumulated. The tradition continued when my mother, Dede (Buster’s daughter), married my father, Hyde. Hyde started breeding his Ambrose mares to Hayes’ Plenty Coup, then took that cross and bred to Blue Valentine. This program produced the stallion Gooseberry, Crow Creek (Lory’s top calf horse), and many good mares. Buster Hayes with three sons of Texas Blue Bonnet. Hyde and Dede then bought the other half interest in Blue Valentine from Del. Hyde felt like it was a great privilege to rope steers on Blue. In 1970 Hyde roped at his last Cheyenne Frontier Days on Blue. Everet Shaw, who rode his share of great steer roping horses, told Hyde that Blue was the best horse at Cheyenne that year. Hyde and Del both felt that Blue started out of the box quicker and could catch cattle easier than any horse they had ridden. The combination of Blue’s athletic ability and Del’s training made him hard to beat. Chip on Romeo. Blue Valentine in the pasture. Lory, Heidi, Randy & Chip on 3 sons of Blue Valentine and a grandson of Texas Blue Bonnet. Chip on a son of Blue Valentine. Hyde steer roping on Blue Valentine at Wyoming State Fair. Chip, Hyde & King Merritt The Tradition Lives On... Gathering Blue Valentine Two and his mares. Kathy and I continue this tradition by raising horses with as much Texas Blue Bonnet, Plenty Coup, Ambrose and Blue Valentine as possible, hoping to preserve the heritage of these great bloodlines. Offering the best horses we can raise is what we work on all year round. What we bring to the sale each year is no accident. Kathy & I work diligently with the future of these horses in mind. We know what the two of us like in a horse, but the direction of our breeding program involves a lot more than that. Each year’s colt crop represents our efforts to improve upon the last. People tell us that these horses have such good dispositions. No matter what different things we do with a horse, we all want to ride one that’s gentle, versatile and athletic. Thank you Randy, Dick and Sam for your commitment to a partnership and your vision of showing these horse to the rest of the world. To those of you who love these bloodlines and give us a reason to keep them going...OUR ENDLESS APPRECIATTION! A HUGE THANK YOU to our family and friends! Bath Bros Ranch Randy and Laurie Dunn - Carrying on the Bath Family Tradition My ancestors, the Baths, came to Laramie in the spring of 1868. The railroad followed in the fall, and the Territory of Wyoming was formed. The Baths built the first wood framed building in Laramie in 1869 before moving to the Little Laramie Valley to start raising cattle and horses. The Bath Brothers had a long and strong tradition of raising good using horses and reputation cattle. In the 1930’s, they raised remount horses for the government. They began raising Quarter Horses in the late 30’s, and became AQHA members in the early 40’s. My wife, Laurie, and I continue the 140+ year tradition of raising quality horses on the same ranch. We still use the family’s original AQHA number (#7965), as our Lifetime AQHA number, and carry on the same principles that have been handed down for four generations in the Bath family. Our horses are easy keepers with good minds, speed, bone, and tons of cow and athletic ability. Our ranch is one of the oldest working ranches in Wyoming and our brand is one of the oldest recorded in the state. Our horses are raised in big, open pastures along side of the cattle. We use the horses we raise and feel they offer the genetic strength to perform and compete in any discipline or arena. Our program includes 6 grandsons and 31 granddaughters of Blue Valentine. We are ranchers raisin’ good horses! ~ Randy Dunn Running M geldings - your source for TESTED quality performance horses. Billy Ward - Riding and Selling Bath Bros horses. PRCA 7-time NFR pickup man and friend, Billy Ward, is exclusively riding and marketing our geldings. To date Billy has taken more than 50 geldings from Bath Bros. As a pick-up man, Billy has to be mounted on GOOD horses. Running M horses have consistently proven to be what he needs to get the job done. Billy has taken, and is taking, over 20 head to Cheyenne Frontier Days and Rodeos all over the country. These horses perform in the various parades, carry dignitaries during the rodeo and both Billy and Dalton (his son) will use them to pick-up off of. There is not much these horses have not seen or done by the time they are 5. This exposure, coupled with trainability and athleticism, is what makes these gelding a perfect choice for anyone looking for a horse to GET THE JOB DONE!

Vista Grande Ranch L7 Dick & Dianne Van Pelt • 142 Vista Grande Way • Laramie, Wyoming 82070 307-742-6746 (Ranch) 307-760-1452 (Dick’s cell) www.VistaGrandeHorses.com VanPelt’s Vista Grande Ranch is located south of Laramie, Wyoming about 8 miles south of I-80 nestled at the base of the Laramie Range of mountains at about 7400 feet above sea level. The high plains of Wyoming, its good hard grass, cold mountain water and acres and acres of bright blue unpolluted sky is home to the Van Pelt string of top quality ranch bred working cow horses going back to Blue Valentine, Joe Hancock and Leo. We know everyone likes a choice and we’re here to offer it to you from working ranch horses to team roping and barrel racing…we’ll have one for you. Dick and Dianne On Friday Afternoon at the fairgrounds we are going to have a warm-up for the rope horses for Saturday’s preview. So come take a peek. Every year our goal is to elevate our program to a higher level. ...we think we met our goal this year with this crop of sale horses. We have taken three year olds that Greg Frye and his family have broken as two year olds where they got a solid foundation and graduated them Lot 52 on to an outstanding young team roper, Clayton Van Aken. Clayton is a student at the University of Wyoming where he is on the rodeo team that placed 3rd at the College National Finals - Clayton was named Reserve Champion All Around, placed sixth in the calf roping and 3rd in the team roping with Kade Merritt. He is also a PRCA team roper and last year was named “King of the Catch” by a California team roping association called Roping for Ropers. He had the highest catch percentage in the heeling of any PRCA roper that roped in that association in California. We are fortunate to have had him ride 7 heel horses and 1 head horse this Summer. I have been impressed by what these horses can already do and I think you will too. Many of you and several professional ropers have attempted to buy my rope horse, Jimmy and I think many of these horses are of his caliber and some may be better. Last year’s high seller of the sale, Blue Fire Hancock, went to Kerrie Lockhart of Alabama. She won the first roping she ever took him to! Now he is consistently winning at the high school level in the team roping and the calf roping. You too, can take one of Greg’s two year olds or Clayton’s three year olds and make them into winners for you. Lot 21 Lot 13 Lot 61 “Horses are like potato chips...you can’t have just one...but Dianne tells me I don’t need the whole bag” Everyone has a choice...thank you for choosing us. It was very rewarding to receive pictures of Linus Clark and Clay O’Brien Cooper winning the 4th Annual Sweetest Loop Pro-Am Roping in 2009. Linus is riding an 8-yr-old son of Blue Hancock Cowboy out of a Leo bred mare. Linus trained this horse himself and Clay was impressed with the horse’s consistency. He commented on the excellent handles knowing all he had to do was come around the corner and do his job. Congratulations to both Clay and Linus and their good horses. These are 3 blue roans that are now ‘running’ in France. This is a good example of the quality Vista Grande Ranch is producing. We sold this set of horses to the Olliers who say they are very pleased with them. It’s always nice to hear about horses we have raised who can do it all. Above left is Rita Cheeney and Misty Red Velvet who win at barrel racing & team roping. Now this six year old mare is taking Rita’s six year old daughter, Wylee, to the win circle (above right). Kaley won three Little Britches barrel races in a row on Misty Red Velvet. The picture at left is also Wylee riding their purchase from the 2010 sale, a 2010 foal! We’ll guess that Kaley is a darn good hand, but it shows a lot for the horse too. Below is Blue Will Do, a full brother to Wylee horse. Danny Schicke has won a lot of team roping on this big blue horse. These 3 horses are all full brothers to Lot 88 Introducing... We don’t talk enough about the top quality working ranch horses. Here is one owned by Linda Van Pelt (pictured at left). Linda and Roan Rudy take care of lots of yearlings along with the help of her border collie, Jake. Roan Rudy may not be performing in the arena, but he is a little bit of heaven in Linda’s eyes. This is Bay Roan Dividend, who I have chosen to replace Blues Roan Hancock (Randy). He is by Blues Roan Hancock and out of a double bred Dividend Coup mare. If my wife has her way I will cut down the number of my mares and he will be a replacement for Jimmy, my rope horse. We would like to thank all of our customers, friends, family and our partners. The Come To The Source sale is a challenging and rewarding production sale to put together and we certainly could not do it without the help and support of all of you. It takes a lot to maintain a breeding program at this level and you are the ones who make it worthwhile. Frozen Semen Last year we learned a lot about shipping frozen semen internationally. We shipped Wyo Blue Valentine semen to Nadi Bar who will boast the FIRST Blue Valentine and Joe Hancock horses in Israel! Clayton Van Aken and Dick won 2nd at the USTRC Regional Finals in Loveland, Colorado. Dick is real proud of Jimmy who ropes in a ‘pencil’ bosal. Jimmy goes back to Plenty Coup and his dam is a maternal ½ sister to Leo Hancock Hayes. Dick says sometimes we don’t give enough credit to the mare. One more satisfied cowboy on an L7 horse, our grandson, Carson Zerwas. 1 Registration Applied For Blue Roan Stallion - Foaled May 13, 2011 Rowdy Blue Man Blue Valentine Two Blues Pole Cat Blue Half Blue Ruano Rojo Diane Valentine Chip Merritt Blue Valentine Hydel Girl Plenty Try Blues Fox Hastings Blue Valentine Moon Princess Gooseberry Jenny Valentine 50% Blue Valentine.
