About our Horses

We select top notch refined well bred horses suitable for ranch work. This means sound horses with a great conformation, athletic movements, disposition workability and a cool well-balanced mind.

Ranch work is the ultimate 'college' for creating the best horse you can find if you wish to team up with your horse in a highly reliable relationship for all seasons and all circumstances. A good ranch horse is a superior mount for recreational outdour trail.

We cannot afford to select horses with compromises. Horses that carry -besides great characteristics- weaknesses and shortcomings.

We select horses first on soundness, conformation, dispostion, character, trainability and in the last stage on coat. Our approach requires real sturdy, strong, -never sick- horses that prefer the sky as their roof 365 days and (sometimes stormy) nights a year.

Regarding the fact we train horses for ranch work, makes that we find more often our ‘best choice’ within the ‘western horse breeds’ and their crosses (Quarter, Paint, Appaloosa, Thoroughbred,…). But, we even found great equine work partners among thoroughbred horses or Andalusian horses (predecessor of the Horses of the America’s).

We have to add that we have a care extensive operation. We raise horses in natural circumstances with no pampering at all. We train horses in simple circumstances with nature as the main training and show arena. Our stalls are solely foreseen for sick horses, or horses that require separate treatment. The most luxury suite in our horse hotel & resort is a pen under the trees, with a footing that contains besides earth also roots, puddles, holes and fallen trees. Indeed, our operation is not suitable for weak horses, limbing twice a month when working them in hard circumstances.
