Welcome!

Thank you for attending our 15th Annual Ranch Horse Competition and Sale, and our 25th Quarter Horse Production Sale. We have enjoyed raising Quarter Horses continuously for more than 50 years, and strive to produce versatile, trainable athletes with incredible dispositions and soundness.

Our goals are centered around creating a planned breeding program, utilizing performance foundation & performance AQHA bloodlines that have been proven to consistently meet our expectations. We take an organized approach; you will see many three-quarter, seven-eighths and full blood siblings in the offering. As we find great crosses and combinations of bloodlines, we then strive to find or create a new sire to compliment this maternal base. This results in multiple generations selected for the same program principles, allowing us to increase the consistency of our foals and ensure they are exactly what our customers need.

2023 has been an exciting year in the horse industry, with more interest in quality horses than ever before. We welcome your calls and inquiries, please look for the videos online and let us know how we can be of assistance.

We greatly appreciate your support of our family and breeding program, and look forward to hearing from you!

Reata Valentine is a dynamic blue roan Blue Valentine performance stallion with a pedigree filled with rodeo credentials. His sire, Vals Blue Charge, is a talented money earner in heeling, and tie-down roping. His paternal great-grandsire, Drews Hancock, is a multiple PRCA & NFR sire with outstanding progeny in heading & heeling. Another great-grandsire, Blue Zan Parr, sired “Honeypot”, a great bay roan heel horse with two trips to the NFR to her credit. His grandsire, Azul Caballo Amigo, sired a PRCA Heel Horse of the Year and a Senior Rodeo Horse of the Year.

Not to be outdone, Reata Valentine originates from one of the strongest maternal famllies in our program, which also produced a PRCA Calf Horse of the Year (“Mr Ed”) owned by Doug Clark. All in all, his pedigree is responsible for producing more than a dozen pro-level roping horses who share the same speed, big stop and athleticism that Reata Valentine demonstrates.

Reata has done an exemplary job in a short time as a sire-producing colts with a real “look” about them. He’s a perfect combo with Blue Max Hancock daughters to ensure the utmost in disposition, ability and style.

Look to Reata Valentine to produce colorful, blue roan athletes that excel in the arena and on the ranch!

A full brother to top sellers and breeding stallions, this massive colt has more than fifty crosses to the great foundation sire Joe Hancock. A total package powerhouse with a keen head, quickness and speed, this naturally gifted stallion & arena prospect is bred to be great! His maternal family produced a PRCA Calf Horse of the Year owned by Doug Clark-so PRCA level bloodlines are on top and bottom of his pedigree. A unique color, we think ultimately he will shed off smutty buckskin.

“Patriot” was selected for our program particularly due to his maternal pedigree.His dam is a full sister to one of our favorite broodmares of all time, SF Lil April McKeag. This line of horses has served us very well through the years, producing several top sellers that have gone on to become fantastic ranch, roping and family horses. Patriot gives us a fresh infusion of that blood, and presents a wonderful option for adding size, length of stride, and balance while stamping his progeny with color and a keen head. Sire of 100% roan foals to date, that exhibit his quality and structure. He’s proven to blend perfectly with our Blue Max Hancock daughters, as you’ll see in this year’s offering.

This is a pedigree combo we are excited about, double-bred GoldFingers bottomside with great producers like Babes Sugar Finger blended with McKeags Sapphire a full sister to our great “April” mare. “Patriot” appears to be homozygous roan, so there’s a chance this filly is as well. Due to this filly’s young age, she will not make the trip to the sale. She will be available for pick-up in October. Be sure to view her video online prior to the sale.

GUY ON A ROLL

2013 AQHA Palomino Stallion

Guy On A Roll is a home-raised program sire and barrel competitor by the great Frenchmans Guy. Frenchmans Guy has revolutionized the barrel horse breeding world, with progeny earnings of over $13 million! Guy On A Roll’s dam, Miss Dottie Pepper AAA SI 92, originated from Sonny Booth’s long-standing Quarter Horse racing program bringing the influence of her producing dam Hurricane Lane AAA SI 90 and $2.6 million race sire Roll The Cash. This young stallion is gentle, long-strided, and has a very cool move on the barrel pattern. We have been so impressed with the minds on his progeny, the oldest crop is now being started with great expectations for futurities. In addition to barrel prospects, we think this horse’s disposition and durable conformation will also make him an excellent sire of roping and ranch horses as well. Take a serious look at his progeny to find your next arena champion!

A rare chance at a proven saddle & ranch mare with huge upside in breeding potential! This gentle, attractive, big-hipped mare has been used extensively on ranches throughout the west. Her resume is stellar-she’s branded cattle in 5 states, ponied colts, carried a pack saddle in the mountains, been ridden hundreds of miles working on ranches in the midwest, Florida, Texas, Wyoming, Montana and Canada. She’s had lots of long days in a hackamore and a snaffle and is currently transitioning into a spade bit and a half breed bit. She’s athletic, sensible, tried and true-everything you could ask for and in the prime of her life. Many who follow our program will also recognize her pedigree from the heart of 70-year AQHA breeder Wayne Drydale’s program, tracing to some of his very best producers. This kind is nearly impossible to find! GC Ranch (816) 256-9597.
