Working Horses

Justin throws a loop to make a catch to drag to the branding fire.

Justin training three year old Touch of Velvet to rope.

 

Bill Perry ropes and holds a calf for branding.  This is a first calf roping for Cinnamon Twist a three year old filly.

Bill gets another one for branding.  


We pride ourselves on producing horses that are suited for using!

Packing Horses

 

Tex in beginning stages of packing training with two 2 year olds.  Boot Strap is the black being ridden and Latigo is being packed for the first time.

 

 

 

 

At left Tex nearing a water crossing on the South Fork of the Judith River in the Belt Mountains.  He is riding Hayhook Eclipse and Packing Hayhook Moon Dancer.  This is a first experience for both of these two year olds who are quietly adapting to the new lessons.

July 1, 2004 finds Tex coming back up the Burris Trail riding Cinnamon Twist and leading Hayhook Boot Strap under pack saddle.

Our horses get many miles and hours in the wilderness of Montana. 
Trail


Ladies on the trail preparing to return to camp after ride down the South Fork of the Judith River.  At left are Betty, Sheri and Starla.  At right is Starla, a totally novice rider, all mounted and ready to head out on Hayhook Eclipse.
These horses are well suited for the task of carrying novice riders on easier terrain outside of the wilderness.
Driving

A special ride for a very special aunt from Washington.  We enjoy entertaining family and friends.

 

 

 

 

Tex driving Cayenne hitched to our doctor's buggy that was manufactured in 1897.  The buggy is of the concord type which means that the springs are along each side rather than the front and the rear of the buggy.

Exceptionally suited for a buggy, sleigh or wagon, these horses make quick time of any trip.
Show

Performance in versatility or on the rail can be demonstrated in either Western or English disciplines.
