It's easy to get caught in the show highlights but what really stood out for us, is how Luke is the other 99% of the time outside of the show ring.

Family Horse at Heart.

A horse that is forgiving with your kids around.
A stallion that you don't know is in the barn.
A horse that's Non Pro friendly.
A horse that's been catch rode by multiple OPEN riders with each of them winning show classes.
A horse that tackled all the events of versatility ranch horse and ended up Runner up in his first two VRH shows.

This is the type of PROSPECTS we strive for as breeders and owners.

Versatile with athleticism, size and speed to compete at the highest level in whatever you wish while having the mind and disposition to simply be a great family horse!

Hello and Welcome to Kick the Dust Up aka Luke's Page!

Our family has been ranching for five generations in the beautiful Driftless Area of southwest Wisconsin in Muscoda since the late 1860s.

Our family’s legacy has been built on putting family first while being pioneers in the agriculutral industry and caretakers of the land, paving the way for future generations to come. That very premise is why we are here and continuing on our next chapter.

We both grew up on dairy farms that also had beef cattle and quarter horses. Ryan's fascination for genetics started growing up hooked on Western Horseman Legend books along with tagging along his Father, who showed horses, and Uncle's horse business endeavors. Taylor grew up helping her Father with his stallions and band of mare while riding her faithful gelding, Ranger, who now is our kids horse.

Ryan took a job to move back to his hometown and family farm in the mid 2010s where he continued to grow his Angus beef herd. At the time, Taylor was a herd manger for a dairy farm. In 2018, a once in lifetime opportunity came up when the farm next door to Ryan's Dad’s farm came up for auction. After much planning, preparing, and utter finger crossing he was fortunate enough to secure the farm. That's when Studnicka Cattle Co.. was started.

Since purchasing the farm we have implemented rotational grazing and started marketing beef directly to consumers and wholesale along with making many improvements to the land, buildings, and homestead.

But something was missing. At the time, Ryan and Taylor only had their older riding geldings and thought perhaps we get a mare to raise a few foals for future riding and potential rodeo horses. One Trip to Texas to pickup their beloved mare, Sparkle, and the rest is history!

Our passion for horses only intensified as we loved the process of raising foals and saw an opportunity to diversify our ranch with adding additional broodmares from across the country. We decided to focus on proven cowhorse mares with strong dam lines that were daughters of industry leading sires.

As we continued through the process as breeders, we quickly identified that we loved working with our partners and clients. In the back of our mind we tossed around the idea of owning stallion but were very particular if we were going to do on which one. Then we found Luke around the start of 2026.

He was everything we wanted and more. From his conformation, size, to being a bonafided cowhorse through and through with an extensive show record backed by an all time leading sire and blue hen dam line!

His initial eye appeal, expression in the show arena, raw athleticism, and the kind of speed that his offspring would essily crossover to Roping & Barrels in the Midwest. Not to forget to mention his versatile mind and great family natured disposition.

With his early progeny having stunning conformation with great withers, long legs, and nice heads we cannot wait to see his future foal crops! The current ones under saddle have a ton of stop, can still run hard, are quick footed and breathe working cows. They have the neatest personalities, great dispositions, and so much try.

Our family has always prided ourselves on doing what’s best for family, the animals, and the land. My only hope is to continue this strong family tradition. Our customer service and offspring are a direct reflection of this passion. Thank you for your support and for playing a part in our story.

We look forward to working with YOU!
