Dakota Duns Quarter Horses Dakota Duns Quarter Horses is operated by the family owned Hoffman Ranch in Bowdle, SD. We have added some "Gunner" bred fillies that will be producing by 2024.

We are dedicated AQHA breeders, raising top quality ranch, family, & performance bred horses as well as genetically tested breeding stock. Dakota Duns Quarter Horses (Hoffman Ranch), is an owned and operated family business. We specialize in breeding American Quarter Horses (AQHA registered) and American Paint horses (APHA registered) that carry the DUN gene. Putting color and loud dun factor behind conformation and a great pedigree is what we strive for! All of our bloodlines are strictly cow horses raised out on the open plains of South Dakota~ COWBOY country! Our mare band pedigrees include the greats such as Hollywood Dun It, Little Steel Dust, and Blackburn. Foals and weanlings/yearlings will be offered for sale every year. Take a look! Feel free to call or email us with any questions that you may have. Dana Hoffman

"Cole" is a beautiful, Pitzer Ranch bred, coming two year old gelding. I have not been in a hurry to list him as I would love to keep him for my personal horse, but I have enough that I am not utilizing at the moment.

This horse is the definition of "in your pocket"! He's extremely kind and gentle! He absolutely loves people and would rather live in your house with you than be with other horses. He is still a yearling and growing. He is currently butt-high but should even out within the next couple of months. He is halter broke, leads, ties, trailers and trims. All of the hard work has been done. He has nice, black feet. The only white markings are a small star and snip. Cole is a true black and doesn't fade! A beautiful, inky black ๐Ÿ–ค He is as cute as a button!

Cole is located in ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ฅ๐ž, ๐’๐Ž๐”๐“๐‡ ๐ƒ๐€๐Š๐Ž๐“๐€. He has a current coggins test and is ready to find his person. Please message us @ Dakota Duns Quarter Horses or call/text

It's been a long time since we've shared our 2025 stallion prospect from our program ๐Ÿคฉ

"Hugo" was one baby from 2025 that we just couldn't let go! I had no intentions to keep any c**ts last year, but by golly, this is c**t sure embodies everything that we envisioned when we had built our program! He stays!

We got some exciting news the other day! Our ginormous, beautiful, sweet mare Zora is expecting her first foal next spring ๐Ÿ˜
We paired Zora with our appaloosa stallion MHS Helios Of Orion back in late May. This foal is going to be spectacular!

I bet that most of you didn't know that we own a draft horse? Zora is a coming 5 year old registered, black shire mare. She is an absolute gentle soul that begs for pets and hugs in the pasture. Orion is a registered, black few-spot appaloosa stallion. This cross is guaranteed to be black with appaloosa characteristics ๐Ÿค—
Can you imagine that one?! I am praying for a lot of spots and pretty feathered feet, but a big, healthy foal is the most important outcome!

Here are the color genetics at play:
MHS Helios Of Orion: EE, aa, LpLp, Patn1Patn1
MacKenzie Zora: EE, aa, and unknown white genes.

Stay tuned.....

We're back!!

Wow, our weather is changing fast! It rained here for 10 days straight last week after our drought ridden summer! On top of that, I brought home some nasty germs from the annual fall c**t sale in Mandan, ND. I haven't been that sick since 2๐Ÿ˜ท2๐Ÿคข

The return of the sunshine has instantly cured my desire for the couch ๐ŸŒž I went out to all of our pastures and refilled our mineral feeders. Our 2026 foals are still in the summer pastures with their dams. We are lucky to have late grass so we will hold off on weaning for as long as possible. They look so big and healthy out there!

I took some beautiful photos while I was out in our pasture up north. It was a peaceful evening that was very much needed โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน
There's some stunning foals in this herd that haven't been spoken for yet.

"Lacey" has been a great asset to our breeding program for many years! She has produced some stellar foals that aren't only gorgeous, but performance horses as well! We really hate to part with this nice mare, but we need to make room for our own stock that we kept back to replace some of these older mares. Lacey still has many years and foals to give for another breeder. She is halter, broke, leads, trailers, but is not easy to trim. Fortunately she has amazing genetics and beautiful, self-maintained feet! Lacey stays well-fed with good grass pasture and quality hay in the winter. We do not grain our mares. She has lived her life on the big, open prairies of SD 365 days a year and she probably wouldn't want it any other way. These are the kind that we keep!

Lacey sells bred to our amazing stallion Ch*****ne Casanova! Her 2027 foal will be the 3rd cross for this pair. She currently has a grulla ch*****ne c**t at her side that we have contemplated keeping. She is pictured below with her 2025 grulla ch*****ne filly and her 2026 grulla ch*****ne c**t. This cross will produce either a grulla or grulla ch*****ne foal for you guaranteed! It will also test 6-panel NN for genetic disorders and homozygous dun with a 50/50 chance of being double homozygous (EE, aa, DD, nCh), like this year's c**t! They have the most elegant conformation, magnificent heads with adorable ears and a disposition that will make you instantly fall in love! If you're looking for a quality, low maintenance, amazing mother for your program, I wouldn't let Lacey pass you by! She won't last long!

Shipping available. Coggins in hand and she's ready for immediate pick-up! ๐๐‹๐„๐€๐’๐„ ๐ฌ๐ž๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐š ๐ฆ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฌ๐š๐ ๐ž @ Dakota Duns Quarter Horses ๐จ๐ซ ๐œ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ/๐ญ๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ
