We can’t race them all so offering ALL
to the market. I’m weary of the sales arena and believe our babies stay healthier and happier on the farm.
Haven’t tried the digital sales but will consider in the fall if we still have more than five.
Call for more info 479/629-8808.

Our 2 year old gelding by The Big Beast shared a 10.1 bullet work with two others on Monday and sold for $70,000 this morning at the TTA sale at Lone Star. We breed 9-10 mares annually and our commitment to breeding AR breds that can compete in open company is strong. The fantastic purses at Oaklawn have generated the interest these horses deserve.
We love the breeding side of this business and unfortunately it is not practical to race all of them. This year we have nine yearlings that we will offer to the market. Fillies by Arabian Lion, Jimmy Creed, Zandon, By My Standards, American Freedom and Caddo River. Colts/geldings by Goldencents, Thousand Words and Caddo River. Look for them on the track in the fall of 2027.

Rocky learned a hard lesson today. Sometimes momma is more interested in dinner than him.

Happy Birthday to Man In The Can!
He’s eight years old and still going strong thanks to the excellent care he gets at Ron Moquett’s barn. We were thinking about retiring him this year-he said a strong NO to that idea with his win on Sunday.

Chance -
Chance Given is a non-registered two year old gelding by Mor Spirit o/o Rita’s Fifty Seven. He was born with compression on his spine at C 1 & 3 and displayed some neurological symptoms that apparently resolved as he grew and pressure released. He is chipped and DNA certified but I did not register him believing that racing would be too demanding on him.
He stands for the farrier (trims-not in shoes) and has a good disposition. His current job is companion to whatever horse we are resting/re-habilitating at the moment. Our breeding operation has grown to the point that we can’t invest the time to bring him to his full potential (trial horse, lesson horse, etc).
DOB 3/25/23. 15 hands - 950 lbs +/-
Available for inspection in Crawford County, AR. after providing vet/farrier references.
Will add videos when weather permits.
