Scat came to us in November 2005 when he was purchased as the high-selling Ranch Horse Prospect at the Canadian Western Agribition. Since his arrival, he has been shown in a wide variety of performance events from cutting, working cow horse, reining, ranch horse competitions, and team roping, earning over $6300 and numerous trophy tack items as of Fall/09. He has earned his own fan base and anyone who has seen Scat perform in the show pen, knows he is something special. He always enters the arena with the desire to win.

Scat is also used consistently around the ranch and feedlot and is our main horse for ponying broncy colts, moving pairs and halter breaking the foals. He loves to get out and do a job in the off season and in between his shows.

He has a willing nature and does whatever is asked of him, yet is very competitive with a no-fear attitude and a will to win. He has an abundance of heart and try with no regard for his personal safety and will do whatever it takes, in whatever conditions, to get his cow. He is a natural and loves to compete! He is very versatile, athletic and agile, and has a deep, natural aggression towards cattle. He also carries a great mind and quiet disposition that makes him a pleasure to be around and the outstanding conformation and beautiful movement that makes him stand out in a crowd. It never ceases to amaze onlookers that at the shows, we can throw our young son on his back to go warm him up and double his friends around.


He is a very smooth mover in all his gaits with a natural low and collected headset, has a level topline, is very pretty on a cow, has plenty of presence and is confident in all his maneuvers. He also has very quick and clean turnarounds and is very cow smart.


Scat has nice overall balance standing 15hh with a deep, well defined chest, square hip which carries down through his gaskin, good feet and bone, a small, attractive head, a clean throatlatch and a very kind eye. He also has a low hock set, strong forearm, strong through the loin, a short back and is flat-kneed - attributes which all contribute to his gorgeous appearance and ability to perform.


Scats first foal crop hit the ground in 2007 and he has been producing outstanding foals. They all carry his friendly and quiet disposition as well as his gorgeous head, ideal conformation, and beautiful movement. They should be able to excel in any event involving a cow and have the ability to stop, slide and turnaround. Although we have not had the chance to start one of Scat’s foals under saddle yet ourselves due to the fact his babies have sold out every year, we have heard great comments about his offspring and their trainability, and look forward to seeing them hit the showpen.


Watch for Scat's foals to enter the working cow horse, cutting, reining and team roping pens when they come of age!
