We get calls from people all the time, looking for a horse like Dr Pepper!

Buttermilk Strong, aka Dr Pepper, is a 2020 AQHA Bay Roan gelding that stands 14.3hh. He is a 5-year-old that acts and rides like a 10-year-old horse. He is not too tall, but not too short and very rider friendly. If you’re looking for a colorful gelding with great ground manners, steady on the trail and a sweet and willing attitude, Dr Pepper will fit your needs.

Dr Pepper’s ground manners are outstanding. He is very respectful and quiet. He doesn’t crowd you and get in your space, backs up with a wiggle of the lead rope, ties wherever you put him and is very patient. He stands quietly for the farrier and vet, loves to be bathed and groomed and willingly loads in a stock or slant trailer.

Under saddle, Dr Pepper is a joy to ride. He has smooth transitions, a nice jog and an easy slow lope. He moves off leg aids and is very light in the bridle with a 1 hand neck rein. Dr Pepper is a trail rider’s dream! He has been ridden in all kinds of terrain from the mountains of Colorado to the brushy, rocky bluffs of Iowa. Whether you’re headed through the timber or over an open meadow, Dr Pepper handles it all like a seasoned pro. He opens gates, rides over obstacles, and crosses the teeter totter, and he isn’t fazed by flags, tarps, big balls or steps. Traffic, machinery, water, livestock or wildlife, he has seen them all.

If you’re in need of a solid trail partner for your next adventure, whether you’re seasoned or not, Dr Pepper will take care of you.

All the qualities you would want in a mare!

Im Countin Smoothnes, aka Paige, is a 2020 sorrel rabicano mare standing 14.2hh. She has an outstanding disposition, conformation and a pedigree filled with show horse royalty. Paige will excel whether you’re headed to the ranch, arena, or looking for your next great producer!

Her sire is Im Countin Checks, LTE $514,757, 3rd NCHA Open Futurity Finalist and producer of over $7 million in offspring earnings. Her dam, Smoothness, LTE $36,560, NCHA Open Futurity Semi Finalist and producer of 4 money earners.

Paige is very easy to be around and handle. She has exceptional ground manners, stands for the farrier and vet. She ties wherever you put her and stands patiently while waiting. She loves to be bathed and pampered. If you’re thinking about getting a mare but are worried because you have heard all the horror stories of the “moody mare”, that is not a problem with Paige. She is the same every day of the month.

In the saddle, Paige is a pleasure to ride. She’s smooth, powerful and steady, yet quick when asked, that is how I would describe her. She is light in the bridle, moves off your leg and transitions through gaits easily. She has been out on the trail covering a wide variety of terrain, is used to traffic and machinery. We started working cattle on her and she is progressing nicely through our program. She is also used to a rope, dragging logs, tracking the dummy, and a breakaway roping calf.

I believe with Paige’s willing disposition, quiet demeanor and training, she will fit a wide variety of riders at different skill levels. Please call us to visit more about this sweet mare, we would be happy to help in any way that we can. Terry 563-543-2248 or Kate 563-212-4686

This guy will turn heads no matter where you go!

Spooks Gotta Nifty, aka Nifty, is a 2020 AQHA buckskin gelding that stands 15.1hh. Nifty is the picture of an ideal quarter horse. That isn’t just my opinion, the judges seem to agree. He has the awards to prove it, 3 Reserve Championships and money earned! Nifty has demonstrated time and again why he is my go-to horse over the last 3 years. Whether I am working cattle, training colts, trail riding or heading to the show pen, Nifty is the horse I would turn to in order to get the job done. Not to mention look darn good doing it!

His sire, Haidas Lil Gun is a NRHA money earner, World Show Qualifier and Regional Affiliate Qualifier with AQHA points and his performance ROM. His offspring have proven themselves at Congress, AQHA World, APHA World, IQHA Ranch Horse Futurity and Ranch Horse Extravaganza shows, earning money in several classes.

Nifty has been with us since February of his 2-year-old year. We started him in our program, and he has proved to be very smart, willing to please and athletic. Over the last 3 years, he has developed into a trusted partner that is always there when needed and up for any task.
In the arena, Nifty has been shown at the IQHA Ranch Horse Futurity and Ranch Horse Extravaganza. He excels at Ideal Ranch, Ranch Riding, Ranch Trail and Ranch Cow Work. He is very easy to show, light in the bridle, moves off leg aids, smooth transitions and flying lead changes. On the ranch, he is my go-to partner no matter if we are moving and sorting cattle, hunting for a stray calf in steep, rocky, and brushy terrain or just easing the cattle along from pasture to pasture.

Nifty is used to traffic and machinery, ties, baths, loads, stands for the farrier and vet. He is 100% sound in every way. I could go on and on about Nifty, but I’ll end with this - If you want one horse that has everything, disposition, conformation, training, athletic ability, a great mind and is stunning. Not to mention, he can do just about any job and earn a paycheck, take a look at Nifty!

Give us a call and we would love to visit with you about our boy! Terry 563-543-2248 or Kate 563-212-4686
