We live in a small rural community on the western border of Minnesota. Our ranch is not large and we don’t aim to produce huge quantities of animals. Our goal is to promote our favorite breeds by producing animals with good confirmation, color and most of all incredible dispositions. Our spread is home to about 25 American Quarter Horses, 8 Australian Shepherds (both Standard and Miniature), 1 Welsh Corgi, a Tonkinese cat who rules the home and two wonderful mini donkies.
We do a lot of trail riding and every year take a week to devote just to the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota with our favorite mounts. Our horses, therefore, must be calm, quiet and hardy. Our mares have excellent pedigrees which you can view on their pages.
Our kennel has both mini and standard Aussies. We’re partial to the blue merle, so most of the dogs are blues – but not all, as you can see on their page. We can mix and match kennels and there is never any fighting and they are wonderful companions. You can take them to the show ring, raise fine puppies, or put them to work on your ranch and they can do it all.
We also have Percheron driving horses. These two are Missy and Mary and they mowed and raked hay and gave wagon rides through the summer of '08. In a freak accident, Mary died over the winter and we now have another Percheron pair, Patty and Lucy. We love to hook up the wagon and take people for rides and the girls seem to enjoy it as well!
Strangers are only friends we haven’t met yet, so don’t be a stranger!!!
