Spotted Fawn Ranch is owned by Wendy Malone .... Professional horse trainer and clinician in gentle training/and imprinting foals, Farrier work, Vet tech and Vet assistant training, Horse Show Judge, Equine Consultant in genetics/DNA, and Breeding AQHA/APHA show horses. Wendy spent the first half of her life on a working cattle and AQHA breeding ranch in eastern Oregon. She began her professional
career in Equine studies and farrier training. She took professional QH horse racing and show training under top 10 trainers in the U.S. then went on to Veterinarian tech/assistant education training. Wendy also trained to become a horse show judge in many disciplines and worked as such in many western States. She studied equine genetics and became a consultant and worked with labs doing DNA studies. She managed large show horse ranches and working cattle ranches to train their rope and cutting horses in everyday work all over the west. For sheer enjoyment, she showed in eventing of hunter/jumper/dressage and barrel racing across the Western states along with rodeo events in team roping. It was important to Wendy to be well educated in all things equine with all breeds so she could help the horse be all they could be through gentle training and understanding them in their own wild state. From her early training with Native Americans, she learned how to desensitize foals from birth so they could become accustomed to our world of unnatural situations they would have to face one day...so she produced and starred in "A Member of the Herd", an international video on Foal Imprinting to understand the horse from their perspective. She has spent almost 30 years putting all that education, training and exprerience into developing the "Wendy line" of modern Paints and Quarter Horses that could compete in the all around world of show and using horses that would hold up for many generations. Gently trained horses that were done correctly in type and genetics to consistently reproduce the highest athletic ability that would excel in all areas with size and smooth movement. Her horses always exhibit an intelligent, quiet working disposition for easy training. As her husband Gary has often said, "Consistent excellence like Wendy's line of horses is certainly no accident!", rather it is due to her God given talent and many years of hard work and training. You can be sure that a Spotted Fawn horse will have it all - no compromise.
