📣 Excited to introduce:

LR Stetson

SD Her Royal Highness knocked it out of the park with this little guy. Highness as we call her is surprisingly a sweetheart of a maiden mare. Couldn’t be happier with her new bay c**t!

Sire: SD Empire (River Lane Ranch)

06/12/2024

When the opportunity presented itself from our friends and mentors at RLR to co own RLR Rhinestone Cowboy we jumped on it. We thought this c**t was perfection when he first hit the ground. He is a red Sabino out of SD Empire and SD Alfy’s Ruby. We are proud to be a small part of this c**ts life. For us and our friends learning along with us…RLR Rhinestone Cowboy is phenomenal! 💙🏆

So proud of SD Her Royal Highness!!  She was such a rockstar for a maiden mare. Details coming!!😎🏆👑

Proud to be one of several sponsors of the second annual RLR TGCA show in Alberta, Canada. International judging with a shoutout to those judges from England and country of origin of the Gypsy cob breed. Michaela Baird riding SD Empire the sire to our new c**t LR Don Louis. (It’s cold up here and are we a little biased…for sure).

Our blue blagdon mare SD Don in Style lost her baby last year. To say we were heartbroken is an understatement. Our friends at RLR in Edmonton, Alberta were kind enough to allow us to repeat the breeding to their 2023 international Gypsy cob of the year champion stallion SD Empire.

This guy apparently couldn’t wait for his debut trying to beat the heat down here in Louisiana. He’s a little early and a lot spunky with a striking single blue eye like both parents. Grandsires are SD The Don and SD Apple Jack. With undeniable quality breeding we are super excited to introduce:

Outstanding up and coming young Gypsy cob stallion with presence we were very fortunate to match our mare Khaleesi with….his first US born foal should be special. Bred in England by the Down family of SD farms. Imported to Canada and owned by the Baird family at River Lane Ranch. We’ve never seen a bad picture of this guy and in person he’s that good.

This fella was one of two who started it for us with the Gypsy Cob breed. We’ve grown him from just a few months old. We’re proud of him and he’s developing into a wonderful trail partner. 4 years old this summer and not done filling out. 😳

Friends and mentors. Sometimes the same folks….and sometimes not. It for sure can be said for the entire Baird Krewe in Canada. We’re continuing to learn with every success and every hiccup. The guidance from up north has been immeasurable.

The first visit was an eye opener. RLR is a all hands on deck family machine. We hope they’re ready for round 2. More amazing food, “socializing”, horse education, laughs, and unrepeatable stories.

See y’all soon! 🤠

When good friends come from Louisiana to visit…
You pull out their favourite stallion, load up on the best shrimp, and make sure there’s a cooler full of cold ones close by. 🍻
We are so excited to hear that Jesse and Robin from will be making their way back to Canada 🇨🇦 soon for their second visit at RLR. ❤️
Here’s to great herds of horses, making memories that’ll last a lifetime and stories that you hope will never be repeated. 😂

Have a great evening and be sure to spend it with people you love. ❤️

Almost a year ago our local Ag Expo was our first public outing. It reminds us that we’ve just started this journey and how much we have learned.

SD Don in Style was in foal at the event and ultimately gave us an amazing c**t….RLR The Outlaw Josey Wales(Outlaw).

So….yes we begged….and our friends at River Lane Ranch obliged. 🙌🏼

Our “Don” will have our only foal this spring again by SD Empire. 🏆🔥

Merry Christmas Eve!

While doing chores to get ready for our Christmas Eve celebration our weanlings, Outlaw and Beau were not phased by the leaf blower 😂. We are continuously impressed with how chill this breed is!

Have a safe and Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

One thing you can say for guardian angels: they guard. They let you know when danger approaches.

Who doesn’t want a guardian angel in their corner and someone that always has your back?

Trudy is our stray Pyrenees that wouldn’t leave. You can frequently find her on the hill by the new barn where she can see the driveway, house, and pastures. She’s very fond of the weanling c**ts. She keeps our family and horses safe.

We hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season! 🎄

Luck. Good Fortune. A blessing. Whatever it is we’re excited like it’s already Christmas morning and pinching ourselves over this new addition.

We were so pleased to welcome a couple new faces to Lapietra Ranch last week and they are settled in and loving it! Details to come!

📣 LR Born on the Bayou- “Beau” 💙

We are open to finding a special home for Beau. We hope for a place and family that will love him like we do. In our humble opinion he is an excellent traditional Gypsy c**t. A sweet temperament and head, a chunk with outstanding lineage to back it up with SD Wooly Mammoth on both sides.

Sire: SD Lionheart who lives at River Lane Ranch in Canada. Grandsire SD Gambler (SD Wooly Mammoth and SD Mandy Mare).

Dam: NF Wooly Mammoth’s Khaleesi (SD Wooly Mammoth and dam Clononeen Priceless(Bob the Blagdon)).

This stunning mare now resides and is living her best life at in Louisiana.

Well….this is a really tough decision…and our first of the kind. We’re learning we can’t keep them all(though we want to). Lol

In time, Beau will be looking for a family or individual who will love him like we do and develop a bond like we have. He is a grey like his dam. We fully expect him to grow into a tank like both of his excellent parents.

RLR The Outlaw Josey Wales. Our little hellion is no doubt a lot….in a good way!! He is 2.5 months old and is full of personality! Our grandmother always advised us not to talk about other peoples children (or c**ts lol).

What a joy. This fella is staying with us!! 💙

Happy Happy Birthday to the head of our family! Whether he’s at the hospital or working on the ranch, he never takes a day off. We may be a little biased… but he is the hardest working physician, father and husband around. He is incredibly wise and never fails to put his family first. He’s built us the most beautiful, fun, and blessed life! Thank you and we love you! Happy Birthday!

Love, Robin, Zachary, Payton and Reagan! 🎂🎉🥳🎉🎁

Our little man is something else! Are we biased… maybe just a little. RLR The Outlaw Josey Wales is destined for the Gypsy Cob big leagues.

We’d like to thank Raymond Helmuth for making the trip south to Louisiana to give a driving clinic. Thanks also to Wendy Gentry and Mary Beth Harter for hosting. We at LaPietra Ranch are novices so we appreciate the patience.

Gypsy cobs were bred to do drive and Jet and Wingman will be outstanding in time. They are still too young for a saddle so they enjoy it!
