𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐃, 𝐓𝐄𝐗𝐀𝐒 (𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟐𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓) – Teton Ridge, a leading Western sports and entertainment company, will host an absolute dispersal of its performance horse bloodlines on September 29, 2025, at TR9 Ranch in Weatherford, Texas, with horseviewing available the day prior on September 28. This one-day sale will feature a lineup of championship-caliber horses from one of the most respected programs in the Western performance world.

This exclusive dispersal represents a planned conclusion of Teton Ridge’s active breeding and sales program, as the company refocuses its efforts on expanding its footprint across Western sports, media, and live events. From the recent acquisition of The Cowboy Channel, giving Teton Ridge the largest portfolio of exclusive PRCA media rights, to the pages of Cowboys & Indians magazine and leadership in Pro Fantasy Rodeo, to the production of flagship events such as The American Rodeo and upcoming The American Performance Horseman, Teton Ridge has become a cultural and entertainment powerhouse in the Western world.

Since its inception, Teton Ridge has made an undeniable impact on Western sports through the strategic acquisition and development of some of the most influential horses ever to enter the arena. Teton Ridge's breeding program has redefined the genetic future of Western performance horses, producing championship bloodlines that will endure for generations.

“Our performance horse program has been foundational to Teton Ridge’s growth and identity,” said Deirdre Lester, CEO of Teton Ridge. “This next step allows us to honor that legacy while evolving with intention, expanding our focus across Western sports, media, and live experiences, and continuing to support the equine athletes and communities that are core to the culture we’re helping shape.”

● Third Edge, 2022 NCHA Open Horse of the Year, 2022 NCHA Open Derby Champion, and 2023 inductee into the NCHA Open Hall of Fame.

Beyond the show pen, Teton Ridge has consistently set new standards in elite sales. At the2024 Western Bloodstock NCHA Futurity Preferred Breeders Sale, yearling Spice Tag, daughter of the legendary All Spice captivated the industry, selling for $335,000 as the event’s high seller. Year after year, Teton Ridge horses continue to dominate the market and reinforce the power, prestige, and consistency of the program.

“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.”

SECRETARIAT
“He’s 1,100 pounds of baby fat, eats too much and too often. The only reason he doesn’t eat more is because he’s too busy sleeping. He only does what he wants to do, exactly when he wants to do it. He lays against the back of the starting gate like he’s in a hammock in the Caribbean. When he finally does get out of the gate, it takes him forever to find his stride.”
~ Lucien Laurin, Secretariat's trainer
Did You Know? Secretariat wasn’t just an extraordinary horse because of his speed—he was built differently. His heart was three times the size of an average horse’s heart, giving him a massive cardiovascular advantage. But that wasn’t all. His stride angle, the distance between his front and rear legs as they stretched during each step, was much wider than most other racehorses.
Secretariat’s stride angle was a massive 110°—much greater than the typical 80° to 90° seen in most horses. And here’s where it gets impressive: researchers found that every degree a horse increases their stride angle results in a 2% increase in stride length. This means that with just a 10° increase, a horse like Secretariat could cover 20% more ground with each stride! A true physical marvel, his body gave him the ability to fly across the track in ways no other horse could.
It’s no wonder Secretariat became the legend he is—his unique physical traits made him a one-of-a-kind racehorse! 🏇

What is it about a song that resinates within us? The melody? For me, its that one verse, one lyric that pulls at my heart or soul. There are so many songs out there that we love, but not like that “one” that has that one lyric that felt like someone just opened your heart and exposed it. That one lyric that resonates in you and stays with you for days.

2025, I turn 50 this year; born in 1975. There’s a lot to think about when you are turning 50. For me, a lot of my memories are carried on within the song of that time. I’ve had many ups and downs. I’ve licked my wounds and dusted myself off and tried again. I have so many amazing memories I’m reminded of when one of my favorite song plays and I hear those lyrics.

“Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you”

“Well, I've been 'fraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you”

“Wounds so deep they never show
They never go away”

“I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean”

“So, so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you”

“I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realized what you mean”

“I gave my heart to the wolves and they tore it open
I did it again and again and again and I got nothing”

“Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor falls, the major lifts
The baffled king composing Hallelujah”

“So tonight I'll ask the stars above
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say
To turn your angel eyes my way?”

“Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face”

“Little girl, don't you forget her face
Laughing away your tears
When she was the one who felt all the pain”

“God of mercy sweet love of mine
I have surrendered to Your design
May this offering stretch across the skies
And these Halleluiahs be multiplied”

“Jesus loves me, this I know,
for the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong;
they are weak, but he is strong.”

“Run run river, carry me home to the ocean
The river and the road, take me home to the ocean
The friends in my life like stars in the sky, leave the lights on”

“One love (hear my plea)
One heart (oh)
Let's join together and a-feel alright
One love (oh Lord of mercy)
One heart (I tell you)
Let's join together (let this house a-pray)
And a-feel alright (and I will feel alright)
Let's join together and a-feel alright”

🎶 It’s amazing where a good lyric will take you. 💫

Everyone… meet Lyric 💖🖤💖

Secretariat's great grand sire....A rare black and white photograph of the great stallion Nearco being led out of his specially built underground bomb shelter at the Beech House Stud during the Second World War. Photo was taken by the famous equestrian photographer Anscomb. The image is known as THE ALL CLEAR, 1941.

This!!

You don’t need an expensive horse to win.

You don’t need a fancy saddle or handmade bit to win.

You don’t need a nice rig to win.

You don’t need a barn or an arena to win.

These are all luxuries. It’s nice if you have them, but not a requirement to win.

You need effort and time.
Hard work and consistency.
Strength and resilience.
