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.
