Coldfire Ranch Breeder of versatile, using Quarter Horses that bring excitement without drama.

Benji keeps showing me, over and over again, just how special his temperament really is.

The first time he loaded into the tack room of the horse trailer, he walked in like he'd done it his whole life. Of course, we didn't have the camera rolling for that moment.

But here's what impressed me even more...

Any foal might hop into a tack room once. Benji did it again, knowing he'd be riding without his mama until we reached our destination. Not much fuss. No panic. Just quiet trust and a willing attitude that can't be taught.

Moments like these tell you so much about a horse's mind. It's not just about what they can do—it's about how they handle something new when they don't fully understand it yet.

Benji has that rare combination of trust, confidence, and a kind heart. He continues to impress us every single day.

And yes... this exceptional c**t is still available.

Benji was so curious about me hosing his mama's legs and feet, I decided to see what he thought about it for himself.

I can't say enough how wonderful the Jager-Electra babies are to work with.

Most foals stick close to mom.

Not Chloe.

She's usually off exploring, checking out the next hill, the next patch of grass, or whatever catches her attention. Spending time right now on the native grasslands of Southern Alberta, she's growing up with plenty of room to move, think, and be a horse.

Waaay back in the distance is her dam, a granddaughter of Hollywood Dun It and Rugged Lark. Good breeding, good instincts, and a filly that's already showing confidence and curiosity.

The beautiful Chloe is available.

Sending Theo and his dam to Fleetwood Farms Quarter Horses seemed like a great idea right up until the severe weather warnings started rolling through Champion.

Apparently, the weather has turned me into a full-blown helicopter horse mom, lol.

Every weather alert sends me checking my phone, hoping for another update. Thankfully, Renee Wurz has been wonderfully patient with me and keeps the photos coming.

Seeing this handsome little guy looking happy and healthy makes the distance a lot easier—even if I still check the forecast more often than I probably should.

Theo is sweet, inquisitive (sometimes too inquisitive), and FS.

He has every reason to be difficult.

Instead, he chooses kindness.

This stallion will lay down beside me in the pasture, then turn around and quietly carry riders who are still finding their confidence.

The people in these photos haven't had a ginormous amount of miles in the saddle.

He could make their jobs harder.
He doesn't.
He takes care of them.
He forgives mistakes.

He gives them confidence when they don't yet have much of their own.

For all the talk about talent, athleticism, and training, this is what I value most in a horse:

A good heart.

And this guy has one of the biggest I've ever known.

One week into halter training, and Benji has decided personal space is optional.

Trying to take photos or videos of him has become almost impossible because the moment he sees me, he comes straight over for attention.

I'm not complaining.

Watching his trust grow even more has been one of the best parts of this journey.

Benji is FS

Most yearlings spend their time learning how to be horses.

Mojito (We used to call him Poe) apparently decided he needed retail experience.

This 2025 Electra × Jager c**t recently visited a Boot Barn store in Anchorage, Alaska with his owner, Cadence Campbell.

What continues to impress me about this cross is how consistently they produce horses that are curious, thoughtful, and remarkably willing to go along with whatever humans dream up.

Cadence also owns Oaks, Mojito's 2024 full sister, and says these horses are practically "born broke." She had Oaks saddled and lightly ridden within an hour.

That's exactly what we're trying to produce at Coldfire Ranch: horses with the kind of minds that make training enjoyable.

Their 2026 full brother is currently available here at the ranch.

Things are really starting to heat up around the ranch.

Tomorrow night, our first of three summer intern arrives, and the busy season officially begins.

The young horses are ready to start their training, and this year's foals are about to learn the basics: halter work, leading and trailer loading, and having their feet handled. Simple lessons that become the foundation for everything that comes later with their new owners.

What surprises some people is that after ten years of breeding horses, I still get excited when this time of year rolls around.

Every foal represents a blank page. Every young horse is a collection of possibilities waiting to unfold. You can study pedigrees, plan crosses, and dream about the future, but this is the season when you finally start to see little glimpses of what they might become.

Some will surprise you. Some will challenge you. A few may exceed every expectation you had for them.

That's what keeps it interesting.

No matter how many years I've been doing this, there's still something special about looking out across a pasture full of young horses and wondering where their journey will take them.

**please see comments section below for more video and some photos***

(Facebook doesn't seem to let business pages post multiple videos plus pictures in the same post)

If these photos and videos don’t convince you these are some of the best-minded foals around, I honestly don’t know what will.

These babies were born April 25 and April 27, and they’re already calmly handling the fast, unpredictable movements of tiny kids — ages 2 and 4. That kind of patience and natural disposition at this age is something you just don’t see very often.

No forced setup. No staged moment. Just foals choosing to stay soft, curious, and gentle with very young children.

Theo the runner isn’t shown with children in these particular videos, but based on everything I’ve seen from him so far, I’d expect the same kind of steady temperament.

All 3 foals are available. If you’re looking for brains, kindness, and a solid start mentally, send me a message and we can talk.
