Another American Ranch Horse Association World Championship Show is in the books and Taylor Ranch knocked it out of the park this time. A very special thank you to our entire team especially the behind the scenes people that made this show possible. Ethan Dunlap for his complete dedication to the ranch, Angie Vandal for a lifetime of support and reliability, Steve and Kathy Taylor and for always coming through for us with anything that needs done, Heather Wilson Labbe for her friendship, help and organizational skills, our farrier Lee Miles for keeping our horses sound and stopping true.

This is proof positive that Wolf Hills Farm breeding program is producing some of the finest performance horses in the industry.

Guns RN Town, a 3yo dun stallion owned by Heather and Guy Labbe, was 4th in JR Ranch Reining riden by Woody Taylor. We are very proud of this promising young c**t bred by Wolf Hills Farm. He is very solid minded and shows so much try that you will be hearing his name again.

Lil Whiskey Suprise, a 5yo palomino mare, riden by Naomi Taylor was NA Ranch Reining World Champion and 5th in AMA Reining. The mare also placed 4th in AA reining riden by Woody Taylor. This stunning mare is really getting solid in the reining plus you can keep an eye out for her in the cow horse events in the near future.

Mammashairtrigger, a 15 yo gelding owned and riden by Krissy Eaves was Youth Herd Work 18 and Under World Champion and also placed 8th in Youth 18 and Under Ranch Reining! Krissy’s hard work and dedication paid off in a big way when she won this Herd Work World Championship by several points. We are proud of you Krissy!

Mr Peppy Starlena, is a 14 yo stallion owned by Taylor Ranch and is a once in a lifetime horse that always steps up to the plate! Peppy was America’s Top Ranch Hand overall Reserve World Champion, America’s Top Ranch Hand Cow Catching division Reserve World Champion, 3rd in AA Working Ranch Horse and 10th place in SR Herd Work, riden by Woody Taylor.

For any program to have this level of success against hundreds of entries is simply a reflection of the commitment, hard work and dedication of all the staff and clients at Taylor Ranch.
