August 2026 Newsletter…

It’s Open House Time!

Hello from beautiful eastern Montana! What a summer we have had. It rained in June and reached 115° in July. Much of July was around 100°. It was a month of haying! We got some blessed rain last week and can see some green again. We hope you have enjoyed summer BBQs and rodeos like we have.

Our foal crop is totally amazing this year. We started halter breaking mid-August. Alexis & I did Vince’s group alone and enjoyed our smart babies! We will continue bringing in groups for training. The foals will be branded on Saturday the 29th and then on Sunday the 30th is our Open House! We hope you can make it because it is truly eye candy to look at our beautiful offering:

  • 30+ weanlings 
  • Some great older bred mares (watching these go always makes me sad) & a few younger bred mares due to the drought continuing.
  • Yearling & 2 yr old prospects

If it doesn’t work for you to come to our Open House, know that we welcome visitors any time. We always have a great selection of young prospects.
