❤️❤️🍾Congratulations! 🍾❤️❤️

❤️To our dear friends Shelley and Ralph Woellmer on their purchase of Skippy! This kind and talented 5 year old gelding is a son of Tinker with Guns and is a pleasure to both ride and be around! Skippy has an old soul and knows exactly what life is about!

🌟It’s a super fun story, because we had resident non pro Trainer Kendall Woellmer demo him for some buyers this last weekend, and as soon as she got off she said “I need this horse for my mom!” Sadly Shelley, Kendall’s mom had lost her heart horse Duke in a freak accident last year. And we have been waiting for the “right horse” to turn up. Skippy was exactly what we needed and Kendall knew right away! Some scheming with her dad, Ralph and the surprise purchase for Shelley was set up! A few tall tales got them to the barn yesterday morning (all the way from Sedona!) , where we had Skippy waiting with a bow round his neck and a welcome home sign and of course the obligatory bottle of champagne ready to be popped!

Shelley was so thrilled and excited to meet her new family member and fell in love as soon as she rode him! It was a perfect match!

We couldn’t ask for a better home for Skippy and are thrilled he is staying right here in the barn at least through the winter while Shelley gets to know him and starts showing in the Ranch riding and later the reining with daughter Kendall at the helm!

Happy life Skippy! You landed in the best possible home! Good luck Shelley, we ll be your biggest cheerleaders!

Ashlynn Sterusky thank you for these gorgeous photos!

How horse trainers make money?

08/26/2024

What a great weekend I had with my brother, Mark Ross as we traveled to Fargo North Dakota to support our two favorite sprint car racers, DSR’s Laela and Amelia. Special thank you to Krista Marshall for putting this all together. Was such a thrill to get a behind the scenes look at a first class racing team and check out the race shop of ten time World of Outlaws Sprint car champion, Donny Schatz

🌟Special Unicorn Alert! 🌟

❤️Meet Blue❤️

🌟2016 sorrel gelding by the one and only GUNNERS SPECIAL NITE X Miss Hickory Tari (Taris Catalyst)

🌟NRHA LTE $20, 578 in open and non pro!

🌟Suited for almost any level of rider, would be the most perfect Youth, green Reiner or Rookie horse.

🌟More whoa than go! A superb confidence giver and easy to ride in all maneuvers.

💥Blue is a special favorite here at our barn! He had the best start in life at the McCutcheon’s barn, where he was beautifully trained and shown by Tom and Mandy. He made the finals in his futurity year, and has been a good horse ever since. Blue is easy to ride, has an automatic lead change, a great throttle in the circles and will spin for anyone!! This beautiful kind gelding will run and drag his butt every time you ask! Blue has spent the last few years being an exceptional green/rookie horse for his current owner and is very sadly offered for sale to make way for a step up horse for the futurities and derbies. Blue is sensible kind and easy in every situation, whether it’s at home or at the show grounds. He is an ideal candidate to keep at home and haul in for lessons and is exactly the same horse every day, regardless if you ride him every day or once a week! We are seeking only the very best home for this kind and talented gelding. Blue appears to be completely unflappable in any situation and will take great care of any rider young or old!

🌟Blue can be seen and tried in Scottsdale Arizona.

🌟For more details and to book and appointment to try him, please call or text Steve Ross 254 434 8444

🌟It was bought to our attention Blue was seen to lightly crib (without a collar) at a previous facility, however we have not seen him do so here, either in the stall or the turnout. As ever we disclose everything we know about a horse! We do turnout daily for 2/3 hours and I believe this is a great help for many vices! Other than this Blue has no ridden or stable vices.

🌟We highly recommend this gentle talented gelding for any rider wishing to have a great experience entering the reining world!

We had a great week up in Vegas last week at the amazing Run For A Million Show. Steve was busy all week doing commentary and interviews, and Boo was busy showing her little mare Moonpie in the non pro championships, while she was just out the money she had a top 20 finish against the best of the best non pros and their horses in the country. As ever, Moonpie tried her heart out and we are thankful for her every day.
We look forwards to be back in Vegas in a couple of weeks for the High Roller Reining Classic.
Thanks to everyone involved with putting on a great show, it’s really a spectacular event showcasing the very best of the Cutting, cowhorse and reining riders and horses in the world. Can’t wait for the next one!

💥Gorgeous Brood Mare💥

❤️Meet Jewels

💥2016 Bay mare by Gunnatrashya x Dun Its Sweet Thing (Hollywood Dun it x Sugarita Whiz, a Full sister to Conquistador Whiz)

💥NRHA LTE $2307 with limited showing.

❤️ We don’t represent a lot of broodmares but this mare represents such exceptional quality we are excited to be able to offer her for sale. This beautiful mare came from our program a year or two ago, but unfortunately sustained a suspensory injury, which appears to of healed but the owner would like to show now so we are offering her as available
now. When we had this mare she was a phenomenal athlete, with so much stop and turn, incredible paces and a great attitude. She is a very rare commodity being out of a mare who is by Hollywood Dun It and out of Sugarita Whiz a full sister to the great stallion Conquistador Whiz.
We are happy to provide all the vet reports. Whilst she looks to be fully healed and ready to be legged up we are selling as broodmare sound only.

Last month Moonpies baby “Twinkie” made the Reiner mag, this month it’s Mom Moonpies turn!
We just love this mare and all she does for us. She has the biggest heart and the most incredible talent and temperament, and this is only the beginning!
Moonpie most certainly has a home for life with us, and we are excited to start riding her babies in a year or two!

💥A Superstar in Reining or Ranch!

❤️ Meet Chilly!

💥2020 Palomino Gelding by one of the hottest sires around, SG Frozen Enterprize (Iceman) x I’m Whizzen Gunner (x Gunner)

💥Stands approx 14.3hh

💥Lightly shown as a 3 year old and has approx $2700 NRHA LTE

💥Chilly is extremely talented and very easy to ride! Suited to any level of rider from Youth to open!!

💥Chilly has a huge stop, beautiful circles, with great rate and stunning lead change, and a great set of turn arounds.

💥Beautiful paces to also suit the ranch riding events.

💥100% sound and no vices.

🌟Chilly is one of my all time favorites! This super gorgeous gelding is as talented as he is kind. He is extremely well schooled in all the reining maneuvers and very simple to ride. He is point and shoot to the stop with a smooth move to the ground and super light and quick footed in front. Chilly will also be a stand out in the ranch riding events, with his smooth, beautiful movement, and eye catching look. Chilly is fun to circle with a natural low head on a draped rein with a huge rate back to slow. He can change leads on a straight line or a circle and never looks out the bridle!
Chilly is fit and ready to go show now, he will be a very successful show horse in one or both events. He has his entire career ahead of him, and will take any level of rider to the win pictures. This is one special gelding looking for an equally special home and one I’ll be very sad to see leave!

💥If you would like to book an appointment to try Chilly please call Steve Ross 254 434 8433

✅Something super Special!!✅

❤️Congratulations to our friends and repeat clients Jen and Tim Ludemann on their purchase of super special “Louis” Shines Like Spook.

This incredible 8 year old gelding was raised by the great Sterling Ranch and Roseanne Sternberg, by Smart Spook and out the one and only Ebony Shines.

Louis has had the most incredible career on both sides of the Atlantic. He was already a big winner at 3 with Martin Larcombe here in the USA before heading to Europe where he has had the most illustrious career, winning over $135k, and the list of accolades are simply too long to mention, but his highlights include winning both the Belgium and German 4 year old futurities, then winning the European derby, very capably piloted by both Bernard and Ann Fonck, as well as being an NRHA open world champion! In 2023 Louis made the long trip back across the pond to compete in the Run for a Million qualifier with Bernard where he marked a huge 226! He then went on and had a great show with Kole Price at NRBC stacking more money on his LTE.

We thank his incredibly loving and kind former owners Casey and David Davidson for allowing us to find Louis the perfect home, where he will live forever and be so loved at home by Jenn while competing in some Non Pro classes.

Louis is truly one in a million and we feel honored to be part of his story.

Thank you Jen for trusting us again and for giving this special horse his lifetime home.

Go well Louis, we will miss your special soul in the barn but couldn t ask for a better home! ❤️

Congratulations Jen and Tim! Enjoy him!

Congratulations to owners Amanda and Tracy Brumley, and rider Casey Deary on their big win with Xtra Step Doctor (Simon) at the 100x Derby in Waco today!

When Simon came to our barn we knew he was special, really special, and we were thrilled when he sold in the barn to our great friends Amanda and Tracy Brumley. Simon has not disappointed, and Casey has fitted this horse so well. This is just the start, first time out for this new team!

We couldn’t be more thrilled for all connections of this kind, talented stud and look forwards to cheering them on in future!

Good boy Simon way to fly the flag high!

💥Kind easy mare to be around and do everything with! Loads, hauls, clips, stands for farrier, bath, groom, tie.

💥Shiney is a wonderful mare, everyone who meets her and rides her falls in love very quickly! Shiney is incredibly kind, gentle and smooth to ride, in all gaits. Shiney is willing to go to work every day and has a great work ethic. She is never marrish or unhappy but enjoys getting out to do her job. She has fabulous natural self carriage and is low headed and quiet at all times. Whilst she moves forward easily off the leg, she is more whoa than go, and will not scare a non pro by going faster than she is asked to! She’s proven herself in the show pen with good LTE and many more years left to show. She is very easy to operate and ride in all maneuvers, great circles, fast steppy spins and a long smooth stop, in addition to having a very easy lead change! She’s a non pro/youth dream horse.

💥What Dreams Are Made of! 💥

❤️Meet Dakota.

💥2019 Gray stallion by Gunnatrashya x Whizzen for Chex (Topsail Whiz x Dun it For Chex)

💥NRHA LTE just shy of $21,000, open level 4 futurity finalist.

💥Incredible talent in all Maneuvers, easy to operate.

💥Beautifully put together, the ideal American Quarter Horse.

💥Extremely kind and easy to handle and be around, he thinks he’s a Labrador puppy!

💥100% sound, no injury history and no vices.

❤️This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own this gorgeous, well bred and talented stallion. Dakota was raised by the great Tamarack ranch, with a world class sire, and out one of the great mares, who has consistently produced great show
horses. He is very easy to ride and operate, and is much more push style. He lopes circles with fantastic form, naturally low headed on the most draped of reins. He is very easy to change leads, and never looks out the bridle. Dakota is incredibly physical with a huge stop, massive turn and has already proven himself in the deepest company in the world. He’s marked over 220, and has plenty more in the tank.
We believe Dakota has the best yet to come and will make someone an impressive open or non pro horse at the highest level. Later on he has the looks, talent and pedigree to make a stud too.

💥Dakota can be seen and tried in Scottsdale Arizona. Please call Steve Ross directly for more information or to book an appointment to try him. 254 434 8444

💥💥💥CONGRATULATIONS 💥💥💥

To our new friend Jennifer Ballenger on her purchase of this beautifully Bred 4 year old Smart Spook mare “Hope”

Jennifer was smart and flew out before we had even advertised this mare! She tried several but felt an instant connection to Hope and loved the fact she was a young, talented and quiet mare, with a fabulous pedigree for breeding down the road.

Jennifer is good barn friends with two of our previous clients and she knew when the time was right she was flying out from Alabama to choose her next show horse to get in the Ranch Riding and Reining show pens.

We are thrilled for them both and can’t wait to see what the future holds!

Go well sweet Hope and fly our flag high!
