Welcome!
Thank you for attending our 17th Annual Ranch Horse Competition and Sale, and our 27th 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 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.
We greatly appreciate your support of our family and breeding program, and look forward to hearing from you!

“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.

A total package and complete class act, this filly really illustrates the siring potential of Patriot and the maternal power of our broodmare program. Grandam “Star” produced multiple past high sellers, breeding stallions and a very successful rope horse futurity winner. Strong and classy, she brings a total package of quality rarely seen on the market. More importantly, like her dam she will be gorgeous with a disposition second to none. So many great ranch horse sires in her lineage, and anchored by a great mare line with her grandam still producing in her mid 20s. Dam is a full sister to 2X World Show Qualifier & Futurity standout Reata McClintock.

Several of these Patriot foals are out of roan mares, so there’s a likelihood that you can find some homozygous roans in this offering. If you are in the market for a superior ranch or breeding horse, this guy will hit the mark with generations of durable using horses behind him. From our “April” mare line, the consistency is built in along with the great disposition. This colt certainly has the ability and potential to make a big mark on your program and in the arena. Built like a truck, he balances that mass with smooth movement and can go in almost any performance direction. You will love the disposition on this colt.

Maternal sister to Reata McClintock, 2 time AQHA World Show qualifier in heading. Dam “Star” has always been a special producer for us, creating high sellers, program leading broodmares, and elite rope and ranch horses. She’s a ‘97 model, so this may very well be the last chance to access these great genetics. Like her mother, the disposition on this filly is calm and docile. This filly will make a broodmare deluxe or performance horse that never disappoints.

A maternal brother to Cielo Roan, he’s got the goods to lead his own breeding program or compete at rope horse futurities at the highest level.

These include Trevor Brazile’s “Deputy”, Marcos Costa’s AQHA World Champion “Sweet As Time”, and Monty Lewis’s “Squirrel”, and most recently Shad Mayfield’s 2 mares winning everything this summer “Lollipop” & “Tootsie Pop”. All told, half siblings to Popular Valentine have won over $2 million in PRCA events and 4 have competed at the NFR. Popular Resortfigure was an AQHA World Champion in Heading & Heeling, Reserve World Champion in Tie-down, and an AQHA Superhorse.

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 families 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.
Reata Mclintock, by Reata Valentine and out of SF Tee J Star.. This gelding has seen a lot of success over the last year in rope horse futurities & AQHA Shows (qualifing for the World Show twice) against the strongest competition in the country, and was sold in our production sale as a foal.

Sire “Reata” has produced AQHA World Show qualifiers in Heading & VRH, plus rope horse futurity standouts and top level broodmares. Her maternal family produced a PRCA Calf Horse of the Year owned by Doug Clark-so PRCA level bloodlines are on top and bottom of this pedigree.
