AVAILABLE!

This doll is a June 6 AQHA filly, sired by Ike On, and out of the home raised mare we call Tips. She is well built, a nice mover, agile and quick, and starting to think maybe the people aren’t so bad after all! Lol.
Her sire, Ike On, stands at Wapiti Ridge Farm near Boissevain. We are very happy with the foals we have seen from him so far, and this filly is no exception. The dam, Tips, is sired by our original stallion, Red Eddie Drift, and out of the mare we called Shorty. She is a well built, big bodied mare, who is quiet and easy to be around, and a real good momma.
I’d expect this filly to mature in the 15-15.1 range, although she could get a bit above that, depending on what Ike On tends to throw for height.
Contact for more info, or to come out and see her (or any of the other foals!).
References available. 😊

This filly has been spoken for since she was “itty bitty”. She’s been at Wapiti Ridge Farm with her dam, Bailey, for the breeding season, and hasn’t gotten her “moments to shine” on our page over the summer, as she hasn’t been here. We brought her home today, so I was able to get some good updated pics of her finally! To say I’m happy with this filly, is an understatement. Ike On might become an annual cross for Bailey - I think I need a filly from that cross for myself! 😂😍
She is going to Ontario to Spots & Spurs Ranch when she’s been weaned, as a ranch and breeding program prospect there! I think she will fit the bill for what her buyers were looking for! 🥰👍🏼
*BAILEY HAS BEEN BRED BACK THE SAME WAY FOR 2027 - If interested in an in utero hold on the foal, don’t hesitate to reach out. There’s no money involved for in utero holds. It just gives me a place to begin marketing foals in the spring. When a mare foals, I work my way down the list for that foal, before I make it available to the public. 😊👍🏼

This c**t is out of Pistol, and sired by Dunit Five Star - “Gilbert”, of Riot Ranch Quarter Horses. To say we are happy with this c**t, is an understatement. A maternal half brother to the stallion we lost early this summer, “Spencer”, we expect this c**t to be solidly built, handy and athletic. He is becoming curious about people, and while he is still cautious about us approaching his front end, he has sniffed my hand, and we have scratched his hip a few times now. Pistol’s foals are generally extremely intelligent and sensitive. This c**t is bred and built so he should be quite capable of doing well in the roping pen, as a ranch horse, or in working cowhorse/versatility type events; but he’s built to handle whatever other avenues you wish to take with him too.
Whoever takes this foal home, is going to get one heck of a nice horse. If He was a SHE, we would, in all likelihood, be retaining for ourselves! lol.
Contact us for more info, or to come out and meet him in person! 😊👍🏼

Today, the music industry, and music lovers everywhere, said goodbye to an icon and a legend; Dolly Parton. Yes, this is our farm page. But I want to take a minute, and honour a life, well lived, and well loved.
She was one of those people who felt permanent. Not just because of the music, but because she was kind, and genuine, and just… real. She she showed us what being a genuinely good human looked like in practice. She saw the value in people - all people. And she used her wealth, her fame, and her beautifully unique voice… to make the world a little bit brighter place, for all of us. 💜
“Rest In Peace, Dolly. We will always love you.” is painfully perfect. 💔

Got this from our trainer today. This is Pride. He is sired by Gunner, and out of my own personal heart horse, Roxy. This is the c**t we kept, to be Ryder’s horse. He is with Anna Thiessen for 2 months, to get him solid enough that I can safely get on him and continue with his training. His being an Own Son of Gunner should significantly help that particular hope…. 😂
Anna says, “First saddling. Could care less, no bucking. So far the only thing that’s bothered him is me telling him he’s not a lap dog, and that he has to stand still at time. Hurts his feelings, but nothing else has bothered him.”

😂💜👍🏼

My apologies if this is hard to read. You’re going to have to zoom in “a lottabit”. Lol.
But in my side quest for pictures for my CKM Breeding Program project, I came across this article. And wow. Dad was Uncle Lar’s hired man at the time this article was written. I spent a LOT(!!!) of time with Uncle Lar in those years we spent on his ranch. We rode countless miles checking herds and putting time on young prospects. And I spent hours upon hours with him in the barn when the mares were on the line, listening to the knowledge and wisdom about horses and breeding, that he had spent a lifetime accumulating. Reading this took me back 25 years. I could almost hear the mares hooves on the barn floor, the clink of rope snaps on mangers, and the sound of the mares chewing their hay. I can see the wide barn aisle, which would immediately become my happy place. And I can read Uncle Lar’s answers, and remember exactly how he would have said them.
Some breeders keep in contact with their mentors. I spent several hours, nearly every day, with my first one, helping on the ranch with chores (which didn’t feel like chores to me at all! lol), checking herds, or just riding. I wish I’d known where 25 years would take us… Chad and I raising horses like I’ve always dreamed of doing. And Uncle Lar…. Well… he passed away in 2012. He never got to see our herd. But he’s still with me, in my heart. Now, and always. 💜
