Welcome to the 8th Annual CSU Legends of Ranching Sale!
Dear Friends:
When this sale started eight years ago, no crystal ball or computerdriven prognostication formula could have foreseen or predicted
where it stands today. The sale itself has grown in size and reputation,
and we are proud of the marketplace position it now holds.
Change, of course, is inevitable – be it weather, the economy, world
events, or any number of things. Regarding this sale, however,
one constant remains: the paramount importance of the students’
participation and growth. What really matters in this sale is not what
the horses bring, but what the students learn. While everyone may
talk of averages and high-sellers, the real value is in the hands-on
education they experience.
Student Experiences:
• Those first few rides in a training class
• Observing young horses in a new environment
• Realizing the day-to-day work to prep 40 young sale horses
• Learning pedigree research methods
• Writing substantive, top-notch catalog notes
• Marketing and promoting a horse industry event
• Interacting with consignors and buyers
Our buyers understand this, our consignors support this, and our
advisory committee takes pride in this. We consistently challenge
ourselves to ensure their participation at a meaningful level and they
consistently rise to the test.
Thus, our measures of success may be slightly different from others
who evaluate the progress of a sale. Naturally, we want it to run
smoothly and for consignors to sell and buyers to obtain horses at
good value. Yet, the education of our students and the experiences
from which they learn are the real, long-term payoffs for buyers,
consignors, the industry, and the students themselves.
Thank you for your consistent and continued support of our students
and our program. GO RAMS!

NO. 1 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; GOVERNING LAW
Neither the Auctioneer, any representative thereof, nor their consultants shall be
responsible for any liability whatsoever, including, but not limited to, the loss,
damage, injury, death, or illness of any horse, person, or property before, during,
or after the sale. All horses consigned to the sale are offered in accordance with
the laws of the State of Colorado and all transactions between Buyer, Seller, and
the Auctioneer are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado. Sellers are
hereby bound by the Consignment Agreement completed upon nomination of
sale entry, as well as these Conditions of Sale.
NO. 2 BIDDING PROCEDURE
The right to bid or repurchase a horse is reserved by the Seller or his
representative. Title of the horse passes to the Buyer automatically at the final fall
of the Auctioneer’s gavel, unless such repurchase is clearly indicated immediately
by the Seller, his representative, or the Auctioneer. The highest bidder shall
become the Buyer. Any successful bidder shall sign a Buyer’s Acknowledgement
of Purchase which shall be presented by an auction clerk immediately after the
purchase has been made. Auctioneer reserves the right to reject any and all bids.
NO. 3 BIDDING DISPUTES
If a dispute should arise between or among two or more bidders, the Auctioneer
shall settle the dispute, and his decision shall be absolute, final, and binding on
all parties. In such a case, the Auctioneer has the right, but not the obligation,
to reopen the bid and ask for advance bids, solely between the bidders having
claimed the last bid. If there is no advance bid, the horse shall be sold to the
bidder from whom the Auctioneer recognized the final bid. If for any reason
the bid should be reduced below the recognized bid at the beginning of such a
dispute, the Auctioneer may reopen the bidding to all bidders with the highest
bidder becoming the Buyer regardless of whether or not the final bid exceeds the
bid which was originally disputed.
NO. 4 TITLE AND DELIVERY
Title passes to the Buyer automatically at the final fall of the Auctioneer’s gavel
unless a repurchase is made by the Seller, his representative, or the Auctioneer
on the Seller’s behalf. At such time, Buyer assumes all risk of loss and the
responsibility, maintenance, care, and expenses for the horse sold passes
immediately from the Seller to the Buyer. This shall be the condition in the case
of illness, injury, or death of any horse after it has been sold. Upon the passage of
title, the Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold the Auctioneer, any representative
thereof, or consultants for harmless from all loss, cost, and expense including
27
but not limited to: (a) the illness, injury, or death of purchased horse, or (b) loss
or damage to property, and (c) injury or death of persons caused by the Buyer,
his agents, employees, or the purchased horse. Title and all risks are assumed
by the Buyer whether or not delivery has been made. Delivery of a purchased
horse shall be contingent upon the Buyer making a full settlement to the sale
cashier as described in Condition No. 5. After a satisfactory settlement is made,
delivery will be in the form of a release for the horse from the auction grounds.
In addition to the release, the Buyer will receive the current Coggins test and a
copy of the registration certificate.
NO. 5 SETTLEMENT
Settlement for any purchase must be made in full and paid directly to the sale
cashier within the specified time announced prior to the commencement of
the auction. Payment to any other source is prohibited and is not recognized
as settlement. Settlement for any purchase must be made for the full purchase
price with U.S. Currency or with funds from a U.S. Bank in the form of check
or credit/debit card. A valid drivers license and/or other forms of positive
identification are required upon settlement. Any person signing a check in the
State of Colorado is liable for the full amount of the check. Any party issuing a
check returned as “insufficient funds” or “payment stopped” or “account closed”
or a check that shall for any reason not clear drawee’s bank, will be liable for
three times the amount thereof, costs, and attorney fees, and may be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law.
NO. 6 DEFAULT BY BUYER
After signing the Buyer’s Acknowledgement of Purchase, Buyer shall be
responsible for the full purchase price, as stated, for the horse. A Buyer who fails
in any respect whatsoever to make settlement as described in Condition No. 5,
shall be declared in default. Upon default, any horse purchased by Buyer may
be resold by Auctioneer for the Seller and all costs associated with such resale
shall be borne by the defaulting Buyer. Should such a resale fail to satisfy in full
the balance due, the Buyer shall immediately pay Auctioneer the amount of the
balance owing. The Seller or Auctioneer may bring suit against the Buyer who
shall be responsible for all costs, plus reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by
Auctioneer in collection of amounts owing, or in enforcement or interpretation
of this contract and/or the sale condition.

may have been bred are strictly between the Buyer and the Seller.

regarding catalog changes or warranties are made while the horse is in the
auction arena. While certain information may have been procured by the
Auctioneer from third parties on behalf of the Seller, it is nonetheless solely
the responsibility of the Seller to verify the accuracy of such information
and to make certain such changes are made public while the horse is in the

responsibility or liability for errors or omissions, or for any verbal or written
statement regarding the horse sold.

responsible for payment of all applicable transfer fees.
B. Pending registration applications being processed by the appropriate registration agency at the time of sale will be returned from the agency to the Seller who
29

Abraham Equine
Notes
Jason and Bonnie Abraham
10693 Mendota Road
Canadian,TX 79014
Phone: (806) 323-8260
Abraham Equine of Canadian, Texas, is owned by Jason and Bonnie A
braham.
Jason is a fourth generation resident of Hemphill County. Abraham Equine
is located on the Mendota
Ranch where Jason and
Bonnie, along with their two
children, Maddie and Luke
reside. The ranch history
starts back in 1880 with
Jason’s great grandfather,
W.W. Lewis. The original
property he owned is now
part of the Mendota Ranch.
The Mendota Ranch was
purchased in 1993 by the
three Abraham brothers,
Eddie, Salem, and Jason.
Abraham
Equine
was
formed when their first
stallion, Freckles Smokin
Doc, stood to the public.
From there, Jason became
deeply involved in embryo
transfer and realized the
need for a good recipient
mare. Abraham Equine
first partnered with Timber
Creek Veterinary Hospital
in Canyon, Texas, in 1997 in
supplying recipients for embryo transfer. Over the years, Abraham Equine
grew to be the largest recipient herd, consisting of more than 2,000 head at
one time. Abraham Equine currently supplies the recipient mares for the
Colorado State University ERL and has for most of the last decade.
We are deeply involved in cutting horses. Our cutting horses that don’t make
the traveling team are top-notch ranch horses. They are used on the ranch to
handle, gather, and move mares. We currently stand Strait Silver and Smart
Avenger to the public.

Cutters, cattle, cabernet …
With Atwood Ranch cattle, vineyards, and timber operations scattered over
four western states, our horse breeding facility is nestled in the foothills of the
Coastal Mountains of northern California. Mares and foals enjoy plentiful
native grasslands in the oak studded landscape.
The Atwood Ranch
horse herd is Quarter
Horse based, as it
has been since the
beginning. Our true
passion,
breeding
proven blood with good
minds, has remained
steadfast. The goal has
always been to breed
and raise horses with
outstanding bloodlines,
correct conformation,
solid bone, a winning
temperament
and,
of course, good looks. At Atwood Ranch we take great pride in our horses
excelling as performance horses. We are equally proud when they become
productive ranch horses or thrive in the hands of a passionate student on a
personal journey of horsemanship.
In recent years our focus has evolved to include not only solid breeding,
but foundation training and matchmaking as well. We specialize in young
horse development, beginning with the foals’ early learning and continuing
through our yearling program, to starting a select group under saddle. With a
strong emphasis on the fundamentals, we build on curiosity and confidence.
Through our program the yearlings establish ground skills that will lay the
foundation for future riding maneuvers and lifelong partnerships. A unique
buying experience awaits customers who visit the ranch. The selection
process includes compatibility testing and personalized coaching, as well as
accounting for individual skills and interests.
Bar Rock-N-Bean Quarter Horses is located near Eaton, Colorado, and was
started by Todd and Kristen Bean. Todd went to school and played football
at Colorado State University from 1987 to 1991 and has kept ties with CSU
over the years. Todd and Kristen had been attending the Legends of Ranching
Sale every year. They were very impressed with the quality of the sale and
what a great job the
Equine Program was
doing, and wanted to be
involved.
The sire for the program
is Quail Hunter, aka
Hooch, a gray son of
Paddys Irish Whiskey,
purchased from the

Four Sixes. Hooch is
a heavy built ranch/
rope type horse with an
incredible disposition.
He is passing this
disposition and body
type on to his offspring.
Kristen shows Hooch at local shows with mares and geldings in the arena.
With the trainability and the mind that this horse has, nobody knows he is a
stallion.
The mares are all very well bred daughters and granddaughters of Playgun,
Real Gun, and Peptoboonsmal. They all have great minds, good bone, nice
feet, and raise their babies on pasture. The goal in crossing Hooch on these
mares is to put a well minded, athletic, and versatile horse on the ground that
can go many directions. Thanks for looking at the Bar Rock-N-Bean horses
and supporting CSU.
Horses are offered throughout the year at varying stages of development. The
breeding you want, with the foundation they need, from the brands you trust.

Bartlett Ranches is currently made up of three ranches located in Alabama,
Texas, and Wyoming. Established in 1954, the Alabama ranch is home for
H.B. “Woody” Bartlett, DVM and is the foundation of the ranches. It consists
of five thousand acres and runs a herd of 850 commercial cows and 200
American Quarter Horses. Dr. Bartlett started with the purchase of Quick
Henry, AAA and AQHA champion, by Sugar Bars and out of a Leo mare. This
was the foundation of
the broodmare band.
Although most of
the broodmares are
bred through artificial
insemination, a few are
pasture bred.
Along with its famous slogan, “Horses with a History; Brands with a
Background,” legendary Quarter Horses and superior cattle are hallmarks
of “The Four Sixes,” a historic Texas ranch that is part of Burnett Ranches,
LLC. Owned by Mrs. Anne W. Marion, the great-granddaughter of the ranch’s
founder, Captain Samuel “Burk” Burnett, the ranch stands some of the most wellrespected Quarter Horse stallions in the industry, including the finest cutting,
reining, ranch horses,
and
all-around
performance-bred
stallions
available
anywhere. Our elite
broodmares
also
produce some of the
best race, ranch, and
performance horses
in the country.
Bartlett Ranch West,
located just west of
Weatherford, Texas, was
purchased in 1995 and
is managed by Milton
Scott. Milton oversees
approximately 35 head
of outstanding bred
cutting horses ranging
from weanlings to
broodmares to show
horses on 1,100 acres.
Some of the top broodmares include Billies Short Lena, NCHA Lifetime
earnings $198,847, Can You Handle It, NCHA Lifetime earnings $207,154,
Cool Little Feet, NCHA Lifetime earnings $206,083 and Playguns Desire,
NCHA Lifetime earnings $124,325. Bartlett Ranch Wyoming in LaGrange,
Wyoming, is the largest of all three ranches with nearly 75,000 acres. In
addition to the 300 head of horses, 3,000 head of steers and 1,000 head of
broodcows sometimes occupy the grassy pastures. In 2000, Dr. Bartlett
partnered with long time friend and former PRCA World Champion Saddle
Bronc rider Bill Smith, offering ranch raised horses to the public. The WYO
Quarter Horse Sales, which are held in the spring and fall, have become a
leading source for ranch broke geldings.
40
The Burnett holdings
cover 275,000 acres
on two Texas ranches:
the 6666 Ranch
(headquarters), near
Guthrie, and the
Dixon Creek Ranch,
between Panhandle
and Borger – both
located in the western half of the state. The ranch is dedicated to superior
water and range management practices, working as much as possible to
reclaim land for native grasses and restore or improve natural water resources.
Our American Quarter Horses are consistently ranked among the best in the
breed, as evidenced by our receipt of the AQHA Best Remuda Award and
as an AQHA All-Time Leading Breeder of Performance Horses and Race
Money-Earners and Winners. A steady stream of champion performance,
race, and ranch horses are bred and produced by the 6666s, and are ridden
by our cowboys for work on the ranch, as well as being shown in cutting, cow
horse, and other performance events. Look for a description of our distinctive
brands, as well as other information, on our website, listed above.

Cowan Select Horses, LLC is based both in North Central Montana and
Purcell, Oklahoma; the two locations complement each other well. The central
location of Cowan Select, in Purcell, allows us easy access to show in cutting,
reined cow horse, and ranch horse versatility
events at all the major AQHA, NCHA,
and NRCHA events. Our stallion, Spooks
Bluestem, stands in Purcell, along with many
of our performance-proven broodmares.
Now moving into the fourth generation of family ownership, Crofoot Cattle
Co., Inc and its affiliates make up a diversified agribusiness operation. Over
the years it has owned and operated multiple commercial feedyards with a
one-time capacity of 180,000 head and
a stocker program numbering over
100,000 yearlings per year.
In Montana, we run in conjunction with
Cowan & Son Ranch, established in 1888.
Our horses are used in everyday work on the
ranch: health checking, pasture doctoring,
dragging calves to the branding fire, sorting
and trailing cattle, etc. The ranch is located in
a beautiful area with many extremes in both
climate and terrain which, in turn, lends
a hand in raising strong, sure-footed, and
good-minded horses.
Our broodmare band is made up of mares
that are selected for their conformation,
good
bone,
agreeable
disposition,
athleticism, and ability to work a cow. All of
our mares have been ridden extensively and
have proven themselves as either a ranch or
a performance horse prior to joining our
broodmare band. Many of our mares have a
performance record.
Crofoot Ranches, LLP is the operating
company for both owned and leased
ranches. Crofoot Ranches currently
runs a 1,600 head cow-calf operation
and a Quarter Horse breeding program
at Bittercreek Ranch, Clarendon, Texas,
and Rescate Canyon Ranch, Lubbock,
Texas.
The horse breeding program and
training program is an integral part
of the overall ranching operation.
The goal of the Quarter Horse
breeding program is to produce an
all-around ranch horse with the cow,
conformation, speed, and disposition
to be used on the ranch, in the arena,
in versatility, and on the trail.
This year, we are bringing five lots to the Legends of Ranching Performance
Horse Sale. Cowan Select is pleased to be a part of this sale and strives to bring
you good quality horses with conformation and ability.

www.gouldranch.com
Based out of Douglas, Wyoming, along LaPele Creek, Diamond-McNabb
Ranch Horses is comprised of two partners, Diamond Ranches and Ken
McNabb Horsemanship. Diamond Ranches focuses on raising beef cattle
but couldn’t do it without quality ranch horses. With the help of longtime
horseman and professional clinician Ken McNabb, the two partners came
together to produce performance bred, pasture raised, McNabb trained, and
ranch experienced horses.
The Gould Ranch Cattle Company is a family owned and operated ranch. It
all began in 1971, when Guy L. Gould bought a cow herd and leased a ranch
near Lyons, Colorado, at the age of 19.
Diamond-McNabb horses
are known for being
versatile, good minded
and well rounded Quarter
Horses. Bred for medium
size, durable conformation,
and innate cow sense, these
horses are put out on the
ranch to test their skills.
Drawing their breeding
stock from performance
bloodlines
with
a
background of success,
the ranch has cow-bred
stallions in the breeding
program. Playgun Will Travel, or “Paladin,” is the son of the increasinglylegendary cutting sire Playgun and out of a 2x roping champion dam. Their
second stallion, Heavens Rooster or “Quest,” has agility and cow sense in
every corner of his pedigree. His sire, Gallo del Cielo, is one of the three highly
successful half-brothers by Peppy San Badger and his dam is a daughter of
Freckles Playboy.
44
Located
at
the
headquarters of the
ranch we have a small
feedlot where we
background calves,
develop bulls and
heifers, and finish
cattle that we sell for
freezer beef. Along
with the cattle we also raise, train, show, and sell American Quarter Horses.
The Gould Ranch Cattle Company is honored to be a part of the Ranching
Heritage program that the AQHA started in 2011. The ranch corporation
consists of Guy and Sherry Gould; Clint, Anna Marie and their sons, Conagher
and Cash Gould; and Jed and Holly Roark and their three children, Colton,
Fallon, and Pake Roark.
C

Because mares have at least as much influence on how a foal turns out as
a stallion does, the ranch’s goal is to have a group of constantly-upgrading
broodmares to produce excellent foals. Today, Diamond-McNabb runs about
30 broodmares sired by Peppy San Badger, Two Eyed Red Buck, Boonlight
Dancer, and Royal Fletch. Although still a young program, they are enjoying
the first few foal crops and are optimistic for the future of these versatile,
“ranch ready” offspring!
We are now located just 25 miles south of Fort Morgan, Colorado. Our Irish
Blacks seedstock operation runs between 300 and 400 Irish Black and Irish Red
Cattle, which are registered through the American Celtic Cattle Association.
We also have a 1,000 head commercial cow herd that we run primarily in
the Rocky Mountains
of Colorado near
Hartsel on 40,000
acres, ranging in
elevation from 9,000
to 11,000 feet.

The Hanging H Ranch is nestled between Nebraska’s rolling sandhills and
several miles of the South Platte River, making it a premier destination
for horseback riding, hunting, and simply appreciating the beauty of this
legendary landscape.
Haythorn Ranch Company is located in the sandhills of Nebraska, along the
Platte River Valley near Maxwell. It is comprised of 20,000 acres of grass,
meadow hay, and sweet water from the Ogallala Aquifer. We are primarily a
cow/calf operation running up to 1,500 mother cows.
We run a medium-sized
registered Angus cow/
calf operation. We have
selected our foundation
herd from some of the
top cows of reputable
Angus breeders. We
breed for high-quality
and marketable genetics.
The Haythorns have been ranching in the Nebraska sandhills since 1884.
Harry Haythornthwaite (later shortened to Haythorn) stowed away on a
ship bound for the U.S.A. at
the age of 16, and when found
he was put to work caring for
the Hereford bulls that were on
board. Docking in Galveston,
Texas, he went to work for the
rancher who owned the bulls.
He later made four cattle drives
on the Western trail, two of
which passed through Ogallala,
Neb. Harry spent his wages
on a livery stable in Ogallala
where he married Emma
Gilpin. Harry and Emma filed
on a homestead in 1884, thus
beginning the long legacy of Haythorn Ranches. Haythorn Ranch is entering
its sixth generation of traditional ranching.
We raise commercial
grain crops, and in
addition to feed for our
cattle operations, we
have recently begun
growing and marketing
hay specifically produced
for horse operations.
The Hanging H Ranch is committed to breeding, raising, and training quality
American Quarter Horses with proven bloodlines, as well as conformation,
agility, athleticism, and disposition. We breed to our own stallion and to
very select outside stallions to achieve specific breeding objectives. These
objectives include producing great horses with the conformation and athletic
ability to compete effectively and do an honest day’s work on the ranch, as
well as the intelligence and temperament to be quality, reliable horses.
We recently completed a significant project with Ducks Unlimited involving
the cleanup and restoration of three miles of the South Platte River. We have
also restored abused pastureland and turned marginal cropland into first-class
upland game habitat. It has been a fascinating project to be able to transform
this resource back to an area that supports abundant wildlife, thousands of
migrating waterfowl, as well as effective farming and ranching operations.
46
We have been breeding American Quarter Horses since before the registry’s
inception in 1940. We pasture breed 20 to 35 mares a year and run 40 to 50
saddle horses in our remuda. Our horses are bred for use on the ranch, not to
follow the whims of the market. They must have good bones and feet, strong
muscles, a kind disposition, and lots of cow sense.
All this translates into versatile horses that can be used by a wide variety of
people for anything that can be done on horseback. Recent accolades include
AQHA 50 year legacy award for Haythorn Ranch Company in 1993 and
Howard Haythorn in 2009. Howard was inducted into the Cowboy Hall of
Fame and the Hall of Great Westerners in 2008. Haythorn Ranch is honored
to be the 2009 recipient of the AQHA-Pfizer Best Remuda Award.

KeSa Quarter Horses raises and promotes the foundation bloodlines of Blue
Valentine and Driftwood blended with the bloodlines of Peppy San and Leo.
The proven disposition and cow sense of these families is the backbone of our
longtime breeding operation. The golden cross of these families is a proven
one for performance horses. KeSa currently uses eight stallions, seven which
we raised ourselves, and about 60 broodmares, most of which we also raised.
The Kurtz Ranch is a family operated ranch located in the beautiful Elk River
Valley north of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Along the banks of the river we
have raised mountain grass hay, cattle, and Quarter Horses for several decades.
It is a landscape of lush meadows, rugged mountains, and deep snow, and is
an ideal environment for developing horses that are healthy, hearty, adaptable,
and sure-footed. The valley has a rich heritage of quality horses, having been the
home of Marshall Peavy and Quentin Semotan, two of the original founders of
the American Quarter
Horse
Association,
as well as Semotan’s
famous
foundation
sire, Starduster.
We are competing, and
currently
accumulating
points with horses that we
raised, and they are shown
on the highly competitive
AQHA open class circuit.
We do this to prove the
breeding and to show that
our home raised horses can
compete with the best that
are showing today.
Our home raised stallion
Blue Fox Hancock, with over
500 AQHA open points,
is an AQHA performance
champion, and in 2009 was the runner-up for the high point horse, all events
and all ages, in the USA, all around high point stallion, high point SR heeling
horse, has superiors in heeling, heading, and tie down roping, performance
register of merit, high point SR heeling stallion, five year end top 10 ropings
titles, superiors in heeling, heading, and tie down roping, and several AQHA
all around awards.
Our home raised Driftwood stallion, MR Junewood, has been to the AQHA
World Show four times and was in the top 10 twice. He has 192 points in
heeling plus a ROM and superior in that event, and points in heading and
calf roping.
A special KeSa Production Sale will be held August 23-25 at CSU. Information
and pedigrees can be found at www.kesaquarterhorses.com.
We would like to thank CSU for including us in the Legends of Ranching Sale,
and are proud to support the Equine Sciences Program.
48
In our horse operation
we strive to raise
beautiful,
athletic,
good-minded horses
that will excel on
the ranch or trail as
well as in the arena.
We want them to be
versatile with correct
conformation and lots of cow sense. While most of our horses go on to be
ranch, trail, or roping horses, a select few are chosen as show prospects.
These go to our son, Andy Kurtz, who trains them for competition in AQHA,
NRCHA, and NSHA shows. We currently have horses showing in reined
cowhorse, ranch versatility, and an occasional roping event.
In the summer months, we usually conduct a number of clinics ranging from
colt starting and horsemanship to cowhorse and beginning cutting. We also
host Common Ground Clinics, which demonstrate how fundamentals in
early training can be the same in both Western and English disciplines.

Mantz Creek Horses was established with the goal of maintaining the
traditions of the western stock horse and its place in the modern west.
Pete Becker Ranch, Inc. is a 22,000 acre ranch in the heart of the sandhills
of Nebraska. My grandfather, Peter Becker, purchased the ranch in 1898.
Our first registered Quarter Horses were two mares that came to the ranch
in 1948. In 1949, two
more registered mares
were purchased. Revenue
2070 was purchased from
Walter Merrick in 1950. He
was the first stud owned
by the Becker Ranch. Two
more registered mares
were also purchased at this
time. This was the nucleus
of our original registered
Quarter Horse program.
Founded by Kevin Meyer, a horseman with a background in both the
traditional working ranch and performance/show discipline of the equine
industry, Mantz Creek Horses strives to bring together all the best aspects
of each to make the
most versatile horse
available.
Horses are exposed
to both performance
horse training, where
they are shown in
NRCHA, AQHA, and
ASHA shows, as well
as used on our stocker
cattle operation where
they are expected to
“earn” their living at
8,000 feet of elevation.
Through training, clinics, and limited horse sales, it is the goal of the company
to provide horses and riders the tools to perform with confidence, both in and
out of the arena.
Through the years, the
ranch has owned or leased
some very good stallions,
including Poco Tom,
Johnny Zero, RBM Duster
Wolf, and Snickelfritz Chex. RBM Duster Wolf was an AQHA Champion and
superior cutting horse. Snickelfritz Chex was leased from Calvin Ross and
spent ten years at the Becker Ranch.
We now stand Special Gun, son of All-Time Leading Cutting and Reined
Cowhorse Sire Playgun. Special Gun earned $3,001 in ranch horse
competition. A Western Heritage Ranch Horse Classic Senior Champion,
he was third in the 2010 Black Hills Ranch Horse Open, sixth in the 2009
Fort Worth AQHA Versatility Ranch Horse Open, third in the 2008 RHAA
National Finals Senior class, and third in the Open class, and a member of the
Ranch Cutting Horse Association Open Top Ten.
Our senior stallion today is Snickelfritz Jake, a top performance son of
Snickelfritz Chex out of a top Eddie 80 mare.
The ranch is a cow-calf operation and runs 1,000 head of cows. All of the
cattle work is done on horseback and not on four-wheelers. We like doing
things the old fashioned way, as some may call it, but we have the Quarter
Horses to make the job enjoyable.

Saunders Ranch headquarters was established in 1929 in Weatherford, Texas.
Tom Saunders III, a descendant of the prominent Saunders clan who came to
Texas in 1850 and established prospering cattle commission companies in Ft.
Worth, San Antonio, and Houston, Texas, put together additional holdings
that are now known
as Twin V Ranch and
Saunders Cattle Co. in
Parker County, Texas.
Silver Spur Ranch is one of the nation’s largest commercial cow-calf operations
with ranches in Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and Nebraska. They also
run registered Charolais, Red Angus, Angus, Herefords, and a Range Fire
Composite. The ranches
stretch from the historic
Bell and TO Ranches in
New Mexico to Silver Spur
Feeders in Nebraska. Also
included are high altitude
operations at Encampment,
Wyo. and Walden, Colo. The
Kiowa, Colo., division sits
centrally located between all
of the other ranches.
T.B.
III,
founding
member
and
past
president of the NCHA,
got his family roots
as a cowpuncher and
horseman on his father’s
family
ranches
in
Borden Co. and Archer
Co., Texas, and Choteau,
Okla. His ranching
education predicated a
good cow brute as well as
top horse flesh. He had
both, and he demanded
good hands. His sonin-law, Jim Calhoun, owned, rode, and trained the first world champion
cutting horse stallion, Kings Pistol, in 1957. The female offspring of this
line of breeding has produced industry leading sires such as Playgun, Smart
Little Pistol, and Cat Silver, and has provided the basis for the present line of
breeding.
Thomas Saunders V, raised on this cow outfit in central Texas, represents
this same line of breeding his family has stood for. He has started cutting
and ranch horses under saddle for more than 30 years for numerous ranches
in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and California. Thomas served as boss
wrangler of the Ray Hunt Tribute as well as multiple movies and productions.
Being exposed to and working side-by-side with Chris Cox, Craig Cameron,
Van Hargis, and Terry Crofoot, he has seen many outstanding approaches
to advanced horsemanship techniques. This sixth generation cowboy enjoys
passing that knowledge on.
54
At Silver Spur Ranch there
is a focus on producing
cattle that thrive in a variety
of environments and are
profitable in a feed-lot setting. The original Silver Spur operation dates back
to the 1950s and the ranch is home to and employs several multi-generation
families. A core focus throughout all of the operation is maintaining the
ranches for future generations.
In our horse operation, we believe in combining the sturdy steadfast bloodlines
of yesterday with the progressive cow horses of today. Our horses are not only
used on the ranches for the day to day necessities of ranching, but are starting
to be used in the show pen. You can currently catch our cowboys and our
horses at ranch rodeos. Recently, JB Miller of the Silver Spur Bell Division
rode Hat Brim Fever in the Cowboy Class during the Ranching Heritage
Show in Fort Worth and was Reserve Champion. In addition, we purchased
that mare at CSU’s Legends of Ranching Sale.

Singleton Ranches is the largest cow-calf operation in New Mexico, and
including the California ranches is among the top five ranching operations in
the United States. Singleton received the AQHA Best Remuda Award in 2012.
Singleton Ranches’ equine program originated from the need to mount many
cowboys on strong, dependable horses. All the horses are raised and started in
the roughest country at the
San Cristobal Ranch. Most
of the geldings go to the
ranch cowboys, and the
mares get broke and ridden
the same as the geldings
early on. Many top horses
are aimed at the show
pen. The young horses
are used for gathering,
sorting, dragging calves to
the fire, and anything else
that needs to be done at the
ranch.
Stallions we are currently
standing are Dualwithme,
a son of Dual Pep and out
of Cowstruck by Smart
Little Lena. Dualwithme was the 2005 and 2006 Hi-Point Honor Roll Cutting
Horse and has been shown at the AQHA World Show the last three years.
Timber Cat 101 is by Doc’s Hickory and out of Cats Full Measure, a champion
daughter of High Brow Cat. He has earned money in NCHA and was the
Reserve Top Horse at the New Mexico Championship Ranch Rodeo in 2007.
A Smooth Edition is by Smooth as a Cat and out of SR My Quixote Lady, a
daughter of Docs Quixote.
T-Cross Ranches, a family owned ranching operation, is located at the foothills
of Pikes Peak just south of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Started in the early 1950s by Robert
C. Norris, the ranch consists of a
registered Quarter Horse breeding
operation, a registered Hereford
and Salers unit, and a commercial
cow/calf unit on approximately
100,000 acres.
The T-Cross horse breeding
program is dedicated to the
total performance abilities of
the American Quarter Horse as
evidenced by winning the 2011
AQHA reserve high point year
end award for Versatility Ranch
Horse. These classes consist of 5 different events which include cutting,
roping, and conformation, showcasing the versatility of the quarter horse over
other breeds.
Also in 2011, Mr. Norris was honored by AQHA by being presented the
American Quarter Horse Association Legacy award which recognizes those
breeders who have bred and registered Quarter Horses for 50 consecutive
years! T-Cross Ranches is also an AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeder and all
horses from our breeding operation are eligible for this great program.

Valley Oak Ranch
Wagonhound Land & Livestock, LLC

Phone: (307) 358-7028 • www.wagonhound.com
Established in 1996 near Oakland, Calif., Valley Oak Ranch was a large
breeding operation that focused on producing western stock horses capable of
competing at the highest levels in a wide range of performance events, as well
as doing ranch work. At one point, the Blacks were breeding 400 mares a year
and standing 12 high-profile stallions. Many of the horses produced went on
to be award-winning
athletes owned and
shown by horsemen
and women all across
the country.
In 2010, the family
moved to Loveland,
Colo., where they
continue to be involved
in western competition,
particularly with their
cutting horses. Even
though Valley Oak has
downsized, the quality
of its horses remains
the Blacks’ number
one priority. They
continue, on a much
smaller scale, to use
western stock horse bloodlines to breed and produce Quarter Horses with
the potential to compete in the show ring, work cattle on the ranch, or carry
riders safely over the trails.
Wagonhound Land and Livestock’s roots go back to the late 1800s when the cattle
drives came up from Texas and the pioneers traveled through on the Oregon
Trail. The original Wagonhound Land and Livestock is now part of and represents
the entire ranching operation in Douglas, Wyoming. Located along Wyoming’s
Laramie Range, the east edge of the Rocky Mountains, the ranch consists of more
than 150,000 mostly private acres with an elevation varying from 5,000 to 9,000
feet. The very diverse, scenic ranch runs a commercial Red Angus herd of mother
cows and summer stocker cattle, operates two feedlots, harvests 4,000 acres of
alfalfa hay, and offers elite outfitted hunts specializing in trophy elk.
The objective of Wagonhound Land and
Livestock’s horse breeding program,
consisting of more than 200 American
Quarter Horses, is to raise high-quality
ranch horses for both ranches use and
that of the public. The strong, wellproven Quarter Horse pedigrees within
the breeding program not only support
this goal but also routinely produce
horses with the ability and talent to
compete successfully in the most
prestigious cutting, reining, reined cow
horse and ranch competitions.
Wagonhound’s broodmare band is anchored by some of the most famous mares in
the industry such as all-time leading reined cow horse producer Kings Masterpiece,
AQHA World Show Junior Cutting Top 5; Little Tenina, NCHA Open Futurity,
Derby, Classic and World Finals Champion; A Smart Little Gal, NCHA World
Champion producer; Tassa Mia, an all-time leading cutting producer and dam of
an NCHA Super Stakes Classic Open Champion and an NCHA World Champion.
Ranch owned stallions include WR This Cats Smart, a young sire whose get has
already earned more than $3.6 million in NCHA, NRCHA and AQHA events, as
well as up and coming sire Genuine Masterpiece an AQHA and NRCHA Cow
Horse World Champion.
Results of this program can be seen in the ranch’s remuda, which is comprised of
“horsemen’s horses” with outstanding quality and conformation. Wagonhound
Land and Livestock continues to develop, grow, and evolve in today’s ranching
industry, remaining steadfast in maintaining the highest of standards.
In addition Wagonhound is proud to support CSU Equine Sciences Program
through the endowed Wagonhound Land & Livestock chair, as well as a proud
annual supporter of CSU’s Legend of Ranching Equine Student Competitions.

Website: www.woodranchquarterhorses.com
The Wood family ranches on land owned by their ancestors since 1820. Wood
Ranch has been home to fine ranch-bred American Quarter Horses since 1956.
With few exceptions, broodmares owned by the Woods were bred on the ranch
or were bred by an AQHA Best Remuda Award recipient. These include W.T.
Waggoner Estate, 6666
Ranch, and R.A. Brown
Ranch. The Wood family
came to the Pumpkintown
community in White
County, Arkansas, up the
Little Red River in 1820
from Tennessee. This land
has been owned, ranched,
and farmed by the Wood
family continuously since
that time. The Wood
family has always been
involved with livestock
and land, including the
breeding and raising of
cattle and horses and
farming rice, soybeans, and hay. The ranch consists of 8,000 acres of pasture
and farm land. Wood Ranch runs horned Herefords, bred to Angus bulls,
along with Angus, Charolais, and Black baldie commercial cattle. Along
with this they breed approximately 100 AQHA ranch mares. The mares are
bred to outstanding stallions such as Rey of De Playboy, by Dual Rey. Rey of
De Playboy is currently being shown in NRHA and AQHA events by Sam
Schaffhauser. Cat Proof, by High Brow Cat, is a 2010 NCHA Futurity finalist
with current earnings of $37,000+ and is currently being shown by Sean
Flynn. WR Smooth Whiskey, sired by Paddys Irish Whiskey, has an AQHA
ROM in Reining and is an NRHA money earner. Reference sires for Wood
Ranch include Shining King Cody, Blue Diamond Hancock, and BP Smart
Little Pep. Horses from the Wood Ranch have competed and won at the
AQHA World Show, the All American Quarter Horse Congress, the AQHA
Youth World Championships, and all major state fairs. Wood Ranch horses
have also attained the distinction of winning AQHA Honor Roll status.

great turnaround. He’ll watch a cow and work a rope, and would make a great
versatility ranch horse. Roany will make a safe family horse, but has enough
talent and work ethic to keep mom and dad happy, too. Our horses always sell
current on farriery and vaccinations. Ridden by Andie Lee.

Sand Jo Tari, or “Jo,” is an experienced eight-year-old gelding that is the
package deal: calm, athletic, responsive, and versatile. He has been used for
every aspect of ranch work, from dragging calves to the fire at brandings to
gathering pastures, roping, and doctoring cattle in the spring. In addition to
being a great ranch horse, Jo is also a NRCHA money earner in the hackamore
and two-rein classes. Jo is quiet enough to go as a guest horse out on a trail
ride and then take a more experienced rider to go work cattle or show. This
gelding would be a true asset to any ranch program.
Shesa Roan Fletch is an attractive and well-balanced filly by Four Roan Fly,
who earned 43 AQHA points in 4 events, was a Halter Grand Champion,
and a World Show qualifier in heading and calf roping. He sired the 2011

As pretty as they come, this big, strong palomino mare is ready to go in any
direction. “Katy” has been used on the ranch, worked cows, been trail ridden
in the mountains, and started in the heading box. Gentle, sweet, and willing,
she is easy to train and is safe for anyone to ride. She will really watch a cow
and has a huge natural stop. She has a soft, light handle, works well off legs,
crosses water, opens gates, and is good-minded about it all. This is a horse
the whole family can ride. Her full brother was one of last year’s top-selling
geldings at the CSU Legends of Ranching Sale. Her sire has his AQHA ROM
in roping and is a multiple ranch versatility winner. And, best of all, she has

Peptoplay, better known around the ranch as “Taz,” is a dark red sorrel gelding
set apart from the rest by a little chrome. He is a finished bridle horse that
stands 15.1 hands, weighs 1,200 lbs., and wears a number 1 shoe. Taz has
been the “go to” horse in my string for five years. We have ridden thousands
of miles, dragged hundreds of calves to the branding fire, doctored sick cattle,
and wrangled horses on more crisp Montana mornings than I can count.
Additionally, Taz has been ridden extensively in the arena. Expect him to be
soft and collected with a huge stop and impressive spin. Taz would make an
excellent team sorting, mounted shooting, or versatility ranch horse. If you
are looking for a trail riding or ranch horse for anyone in the family you won’t
be disappointed. Our horses always sell current on farriery and vaccinations.

Chickory Del Cielo is a promising young gelding with a lot of personality
and good looks. “Diego,” as he is better known, has a good handle and will
watch a cow. We have ranch-roped some smaller calves with him in the arena,
too. Diego would be a great prospect for breakaway roping, heeling, or ranch
horse events. He’s got a huge stop, nice soft lope, moves out at a walk, and
is sure-footed, reliable, and gentle. Though we expect him to grow more, he
would be a nice choice for those looking for a smaller gelding, standing 14.1
and weighing 900 lbs. We feel that he would be safe for any adult rider and his
temperament should lend itself to being a good kid’s horse in the future. Diego
has the talent and the mind to do great things. He also is National Reining
Breeders Classic-nominated. Our horses always sell current on farriery and
vaccinations. Ridden by Andie Lee.
This athletic mare is quick and responsive. Her grandsire, Dualin Gun, has sired
19 money earners in NCHA and NRHA. Dualin Gun is by Dual Pep, whose
foals have earned $24 million. SS Bay Harmon 811 is out of Lots Of Harmon
811, who is by Steel Harmon, who was used as a herd sire at the historic Bell
Ranch near Newkirk, N.M. Trained by CSU student Elizabeth Canda.

Pauls Pistolena is truly an all-around gelding. Finished as a reining horse,
“Pistol” was shown in the 2011 Colorado Reining Futurity, so he has that
great reiner’s handle. He has been used on the ranch, worked cattle, been
trail ridden, and started in the heading box. Quiet and gentle enough for
anyone to ride, he has a great mind and never seems to get worried. Pistol
is cowy and could easily go on and make a reined cow horse, be shown in
ranch versatility, or make a great recreational trail horse. Quiet to shoe, wash,
clip, and load. Sired by Smart Paul Olena, Aaron Ralston’s multiple AQHA
World Champion stallion. Also registered in the Foundation Quarter Horse
Association, nominated to the National Reining Horse Association Derby

MS Hot Prescription is kind and willing, and she is starting to watch a cow.
She has had lots of outside miles. She is a full sister to the high-selling filly at
the 2011 CSU Legends of Ranching Sale, and shows just as much promise.
Better known as “Leo,” Dixies Valentine is a beautiful brown gelding that has
always been great to work with. He has superb confirmation and an excellent
disposition. His great attitude has made him very trainable. Leo is a smoothriding horse with lots of cow sense. We hate to offer him up for sale. He’s the
kind of horse you’ll always be proud to ride. He will be roped off of this winter
and shown in the roping preview before the sale.

hall of fame stallion King Fritz, have produced foals earning $3 million. SJ
Pluto is out of Watch Dude Jessica, a granddaughter of AQHA Champion,
Watch Joe Jack. Trained by CSU student Sinead Collazo.

has been used for all aspects of ranch work, including calving duties, dragging
calves to the fire, pasture doctoring calves, cows, and even bulls. Jake rates
cattle well and has lots of speed and a good disposition. He is 15.1 hands and
weighs 1,280 lbs. Ridden by Blake Sall.

Mounties Jewel is a kind buckskin filly by Playboys Buck Fever, who is an
NRCHA Supreme Reined Cow Horse and NRCHA all-time leading sire,
with lifetime earnings of $62,000. Playboys Buck Fever sired both the 2010
NRCHA Futurity Non-Pro Bridle Champion and 2011 NRCHA Non-Pro
Derby Champion. His first 15 foals to show earned over $286,000. She is out
of Little Doc Fritz, a granddaughter of Doc Fritzie Command, an AQHA
Reserve World Champion Junior Reining Horse. Trained by CSU student
Meredith Thompson.
Spin A Bluestem, whom we call “Drake,” is friendly, willing, and athletic.
He currently stands 14.3 and weighs 1,100 pounds, but we expect him to
grow more. Although just three, he is calm and has had exposure to various
situations. We have ridden him on the trails, crossing logs and creeks. Drake
has been on small cattle drives and been used to wrangle horses. He is started
on cattle and we have roped smaller calves on him in the arena. We have
worked with him predominantly to be a ranch horse, but don’t rule him out as
a weekend show horse. Drake is soft in the face and body and is developing a
nice stop and turn around. Suitable for adult riders of any experience level, in
a couple years he would be good for kids, as well. Drake is AQHA Incentive
Fund nominated. Our horses always sell current on farriery and vaccinations.
Ridden and trained by Zach Iddings.
