I’ve been raising Quarter Horses for over 40 years now in Montana, one of the last places to find that good old ranch horse breeding. Once you have a chance to meet and work with one of these ranch horses, you'll not want to work with anything else. I still have a couple speed bred mares I trained for Polo competitions, but now we breed a lot of foundation-bred horses. Most of them have a lot of cow in their pedigrees.
Waldo crosses well on the mares he’s been bred to over the years. Most of the mares carry Hancock, Driftwood and the King Fritz/Chex breeding. Besides their pedigree, our mares were carefully hand selected for their overall qualities, conformation, people oriented, gorgeous head, and bones to last. We also wanted mares that would produce athletic foals with calm and gentle dispositions. These mares produce dark horses with black feet with little to no white.
Our aim is to produce more ranch type horses, like Waldo. We don’t just produce registered foals, with Waldo, he improves what he’s bred to.
Rockin MZ Broodmare Selection Criteria
The decision to retain a broodmare is based on the following:
-
Conformation
-
Pedigree
-
How well (gelding) siblings perform
-
Her show or race record, if shown or raced
-
Siblings' show or race records
-
Quality and performance of offspring (retention over time)
