Strong, Tough, Smart Horses

The East Humboldt mountains (known as the Little Alps of America) sit in our backyard and rise to over 11,000 feet. This is a great place to raise and train horses. The elevation combined with the rugged terrain develops our young horses’ physically and they learn to handle their feet in rocks and steep country.

Running on the Mountain

Many horses being bred today lack bone structure and are being bred with feet and leg problems. Our horses have excellent feet, legs and bone. That's because of breeding and the importance we place on having them run on the mountain.

Horse Drive

Our new ranch in Clover Valley, Nevada, gives all of our foals, yearlings, and two-year-olds the opportunity to run on the mountain. There is 10,000 acres of rocks, steep inclines, brush, trees, and approximately 2000 feet of elevation change.
