“Sitting on the porch tonight, and it’s just perfect out here. Calm, quiet, and beautiful.”
One of those evenings where the sky, the air, and everything just feels right.”

This is the sire to my horse.

He’s not just one of the top sires in the industry—he’s one they all measure against.

With over $9 million in offspring earnings, Smooth Talkin Style has proven himself in every arena, every major pedigree, and every serious breeding program in the game.

Now—for the first time ever—Talker himself will be offered for sale during the Teton Ridge Absolute Dispersal on September 29.

“We are proud of what we’ve built and the horses that have become synonymous with our program,” said John Sanislow, General Manager of TR9 Ranch. “Now, we are honored to open the gates and share that opportunity with others.”

As Teton Ridge shifts its focus to Western sports, media, and live entertainment—including our recent acquisition of The Cowboy Channel—we’re closing this chapter with intention and integrity.

Offered in the Absolute Dispersal of Teton Ridge Performance Horses – September 29, 2025, at TR9 Ranch, Weatherford, Texas. Preview on September 28th.
