We are a small family-run business offering well-rounded, experienced, gentle saddle horses and mules. Located northeast of the town of Nunn, Colorado, our working cattle ranch borders the Pawnee National Grasslands. Like most ranching families, the entire family is involved in the everyday function of the ranch. From checking cattle to shooting horse portraits, this is a family affair. Oly grew up on the family ranch near Canon City, Colorado. Here, he first learned about training horses from his mom and dad, and he started his first horse at 14 years old. He was hooked after that. After leaving home, he traveled the country working at various ranches and learning from some of the handiest trainers. He learned different styles of training and horsemanship and now he puts those years of practical education to work on our own horses and mules. Having a special interest in traditional vaquero and doma vaquera horsemanship, many of our horses and mules will have some training in these styles. 

From weanlings to adult saddle horses and mules, we usually have a variety to choose from. Our saddle horses and mules are exposed to trails in the mountains, prairies and cities, arena dry work and performance, and ranch work. However, each one is an individual and may excel at different things. Our horses and mules are also exposed to different riders and handlers. They are not just "one person" mounts. We strive to match riders with appropriate stock.
