Spotted Mountain Ranch "Slash Bar A"

Spotted Mountain Ranch "Slash Bar A" "Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway" - John Wayne I bred not only for performance, but disposition and quality as well.

At the Bar A Ranch, I raised performance appaloosas and quarter horses several years ago. From our newborn foals up to our everyday ranch horses, we take pride in the horse that we produce. There is always something happening here and our horses are ready for any discipline or program out there. Although the breeding program is on hold, the foundation still lingers in the stock that still call my

place their home. Currently, we are only offering outside training, sales advice and lessons. I'm a huge advocate of horse rescue and support Colorado Horse Rescue Network. Check out their Facebook group and adopt a horse in need, support the rescue or make a donation. This page will follow the journey the ranch horses I have and the rescues I bring in. I'll also share tips and tricks from time to time. Thank you all for your continued support.

Grace is sporting her new zebra fly sheet because she's old and the flies like her ancient blood more than the fat appys...I opened up a new pasture for them this weekend, belly deep grass, I never thought I would see them out in belly deep grass on my own land 😊

You start dying slowly ;
if you do not travel,
if you do not read,
If you do not listen to the sounds of life,
If you do not appreciate yourself.
You start dying slowly :
When you kill your self-esteem,
When you do not let others help you.
You start dying slowly ;
If you become a slave of your habits,
Walking everyday on the same paths…
If you do not change your routine,
If you do not wear different colours
Or you do not speak to those you don’t know.
You start dying slowly :
If you avoid to feel passion
And their turbulent emotions;
Those which make your eyes glisten
And your heart beat fast.
You start dying slowly :
If you do not risk what is safe for the uncertain
If you do not go after a dream
If you do not allow yourself
At least once in your lifetime
To run away from sensible advice
Don't let yourself die slowly
Do not forget to be happy!

It's not new, far from it in fact. It's not fancy, it's seen alot of years and many more miles. A true testament to old fashioned American innovation. It's a start, its home on my farm for the rest of its years, where it'll definitely earn its keep. Welcome home Old Red Fred, let's get to work!
