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!

The Spader Family www.spaderranch.com
