Welcome to our 2022 Mahlstedt Ranch Quarter Horse Open House! Our open house started years ago when we invited our neighbors and friends over to see the foals tied up the weekend of halter breaking. In recent years, it has surprised us by expanding into what it is today. It is the only day of the year when all our mares, stallions, and sale offering are on display at the ranch in the corral.
We sell all of our horses by private treaty year-round and are happy to have you out to visit our horses at pasture when you are able to come. Please do not feel that if you cannot attend the Open House you will miss out on purchasing an MRI horse! We strive to have horses available for sale year-round to meet the needs of our customers.
To improve the opportunity for everyone interested in specific horses, we will again have a silent auction process at our open house. Click HERE for an explanation of the silent bid process.

Pasture Pick Pricing ended on Sunday, August 21st. No weanlings will be sold August 22-Sept 4th.
A price listing of individual weanlings will be posted for download on this page at 8 a.m. September 4th. This list will have each horse’s individual base price.
Our Open House will open at 2 p.m. September 4th. From 2:00-4:00 pm a clipboard with bid sheets for each horse will be present for progressive written bidding. At 4:00 pm the top 2 bidders on each horse can verbally bid to the winning bid. Any horses with no written bids will remain offered at the base list price.
We will give a 5% discount on the final bid price for all weanlings purchased the day of our Open House.
Youth will receive a 10% discount on weanlings. Youth must provide documentation of current enrollment in appropriate youth organization and colt to maturity project.
Full payment must be received the day of the Open House to qualify for any discounts.
We will accept cash, check, Zelle, or credit card payments. A 3% credit card fee will be added to the purchase price.
Foals can be weaned that day and loaded out with brand inspections.
All horses going out of state will be taken to the vet on the 6th for Coggins/health and will be ready for shipment from our Glendive location within one week.
We are very humbled by the interest in our horses and our program. It is so exciting to work with our babies and to share them with people who love our horses. Even if you aren’t in the market, we delight in sharing “Eye Candy” with our friends so come on over and enjoy them and some visiting!
Please let us know if you have any questions. If you are unable to attend the Open House, just let us know when you would like to visit. If you are interested in bidding on a certain horse the day of the Open House but cannot attend, we ask that you notify Tana as soon as possible so we can help you most effectively. We are happy to take suggestions on how to improve the process in the future.
You can call or text Tana with questions @ 406-939-1890
