Broken A Ranch

Winter

Winter has arrived at the Broken A! We had an mild winter storm come through which left us with 4-5 inches of fresh powder, yes just enough to mess everything up before it melts lol. Such is winter. Darby and Teagan are curious as to what this snow stuff is and the rest of the horses seem to be resigned to the fact that winter is here and there is nothing they can do about it.

I have to say that so far I am very happy with our new hay supplier, the bales have been of outstanding quality, and even though I prefer the small bales to the medium ones, the savings are making it work the added effort and change.

Halter breaking for Darby is almost finished, then she and Teagan will be turned out with the rest of the mares for the winter.

Just another night at the ranch..

Please join me in welcoming Teagan to the Broken A program! While we were not looking for another addition to the herd, I just couldn’t resist Teagan when I saw her. She is a 2008 homozygous black and white filly, that I will also test for the black gene in the next few months. We had plans to ship semen on her sire in 2009 to cross with one of our outstanding mares, however Teagan is exactly what I would have chosen in a foal so I think we got the best of both worlds by picking her out.

She promises to be an outstanding cross with both Heza Dun Dreaming (our double homozygous dun stallion) and CR Merlins Majac (our grullo quarter horse stallion) so its a win win all the way around. Look for her in the show ring in the near future. This affair is going to blow your mind!

Welcome!

Welcome to the new website and blog of the Broken A Ranch! I have been messing about with it for a while now and I think I have it where I want it finally LOL There are MANY changes in the air here, including a relocation coming up in a few months, the addition of a few new broodmare prospects, the retirement of Zan Eyed Buck and the preview of our new stallion prospects!

As you can see the past year has been incredibly busy. We have some excellent performance, homozygous and dilute paint horses for sale and are sponsoring 2 outstanding homozygous paint stallions for sale as well. So be sure to check out the “sale barn” before you go.

Keep your eyes here for future updates, horse sales, sponsorships and whatnot. I know some of the horse pics are a little rough- I will be taking new shots of every one in the spring once we get settled into our new home.

Enjoy your visit to our site, and as always - feel free to contact us with any questions.
