The Mares
Our Mares are working girls.
A good pedigree helps, but each mare has to stand on her own merits.
Training is a major expense, riding mares demonstrate their training.
Good riding mares help produce those good riding horses.
We look for three things in our mares.
- Athletic ability: We ask for versatility in our horses. They need to be gentle enough for visitors, yet athletic enough for speed and cattle events. We don't have a lot of time and money for showing, but we like to be competitive when we get there.
- Disposition: These mares are good to get along with, like to be with people, and let us handle the foals at birth. No bad manners allowed - we like them, and they like us.
- Conformation: Good conformation leads to a long and useful life. We require good feet, legs, and topline.

Smart As Texas (Texy)
AQHA #4693696 - 2005 Bay Mare

Texy is just under 14 hands tall, but she makes up for her size with plenty of balance and quickness. She started her riding career with trainers Jay and Mike McLaughlin. Her sire is Smart War O Lena, a finalist in the Worlds' Greatest Horseman, twice. He also has earnings in cutting, working cowhorse, and reining. Texy's dam is a daughter of Taris Catalyst. With her champion pedigree, we expect foals that have a lot of athletic potential.

Hombres Millie (Millie)
AQHA #5635383 - 2014 Sorrel Mare

She is 14-3 hands tall and rides out nicely. She has the power and balance to work well with cattle and roping. Her sire, The Hombre Express, was a top competitor in the Palomino World, winning honors in roping, reining, and working cow horse. Genuine Hombre had 536 AQHA performance points in a wide array of classes. Her dam is a grand-daughter of Gallo Del Cielo (Rooster) who was a top cutting horse. Millie also has a couple of money earning sons of Zan Parr Bar on her papers. We like her powerful build and athletic ability, along with a pedigree known for producing good cattle, roping and ranch horses.

Poco Copper Star
AQHA #3696963 - 1998 Sorrel Mare

C Star is a great riding mare, about 16 hands tall. She ropes, sorts, pens and loves to work cattle. She never gets outrun in the roping pen, but is calm in the box. Stout enough for any size of rider and a solid ranch horse. Anyone can ride her, but she is not a babysitter. She's a mare that likes a job.

BCC Docs Penny
AQHA #4528455 - 2004 Bay Mare

Penny is 15 hands tall and built to be an athlete. She is honest and very responsive under saddle. We're hoping to really put some miles on her this year. Should be a good all around ranch type horse. Plenty of speed and agility for sorting and penning, enough size to do some roping. Fast walk and smooth trot make her fun to trail ride. Doc's Malbec was the 1977 California Reined Cow Horse World Champion Stallion.

RNC Docs Shiner
AQHA #5078998 - 2008 Sorrel Mare

Shiner is a 14-2 hand mare with lots of quickness and balance. She can rock back on her hocks and change directions, then be off the other way in a flash. Shining Spark on her papers, top and bottom. Grand sire, Shake Shiver N Shine, was a world champion roping horse. Lots of reining and working cow horse winners in her pedigree.
