It is with with great sadness that we announce the loss of our stud Catahoula "JASPER". This loss is very sad and Jasper is irreplaceable His mind, conformation,abilities, and long lineage of champions was a very important part of our breeding program. Jaspers bloodlines are getting hard to find with the lost of his sire. This would be an excellent opportunity to get a part of what was an all around beautiful sire .To continue on with his bloodlines we have kept a female "JAZ"and look forward to what she produces in the future!
2007 PUPPIES have all found new homes, thank you to all the new owners! CHECK OUT CATAHOULA PAGE FOR MORE PICS!Accepting names for the 2008 litter we have secured "Jaspers" full brother"Buddy" for the 2008 breeding season.

The Stallions
|
 Doc Zans Rx (WINNINGEST SON of"SKIP ZAN PARR")who is a son of the great "ZAN PARR BAR"
We bred and raised "Doc Zans Rx", (JR) here on the ranch. He was the champion at the CANADIAN SUPREME & ARCHA SNAFFLE BIT FUTURITIES.
When JR was four, he was shown in the ARCHA and CANADIAN SUPREME OPEN WORKING COWHORSE. In this class he competed against older seasoned horses. Again in 1999 he won both championships.
In 2001 he again won the ARCHA CHAMPIONSHIP and was fifth at the CANADIAN SUPREME.
With the interest in breeding, it was at this time we decided to retire JR from the show arena and bring him home. |

Handsom Haida- first foal to show "HAIDAS GENUINE PEPPY" WINNINGS $15,000+
(Rooster) is a Texas stallion.He is an own son of "HAIDAS LITTLE PEP"out of an own daughter of "SMART LITTLE LENA","IMASMARTLITTLESUGAR"(get earnings over $500,000)(go to our stallion page for more stats) We purchased him as a coming two year old.
"Rooster" was trained and shown in the aged events.
He was finalist in many of the shows he competed in.
Out of convenience to our breeding program we moved "Rooster" home as a five year old year.
He was shown at the ARCHA Open Cutting where he achieved "RESERVE CHAMPIONSHIP". |
We are very pleased with the results of all our foal crops. All are straight and correct. They definitely have good minds, kind eyes, followed by confirmation and athleticism. With the cross section of mares bloodlines "JR" and "Rooster" have bred, it is clear that both stallions "Strenght"s & "willingnesss" to excel are mirrored in their foals.
CONGRATULATIONS!

About Us
Our goal is to produce "Good" PERFORMANCE & RANCH horses.
We have a strong commitment to improving the bloodlines and in doing so began showing the offspring, with very impressive results.
Now, not only do we want to produce good Ranch horses, we are also striving to produce quality show horses. We want the horses we produce to firstly be good "USING" horses, that appeal to the full spectrum of the performance horse industry.
There are many good people that have contributed to the success of our program. We are always striving to improve and put together a good horse and we've had a lot of help along the way. We've made many good friends in the business and always look forward to seeing them and their FUTURE CONTENDERS.
