Dragoon Mountain Ranch

 

Stock:  The Wilber-Cruce strain of Spanish Barb, both foundation and second generation, provides the basis for our breeding program.  Stallions from several lines are crossed with our mares to match both temperament and conformation in creating the finest foals.

 

The yearlings are brought in and worked in the round pen, then taught to carry a saddle and worked lightly under saddle.  We work with their feet and get them loading in the trailer. No weight is put on them at this time.  They are then turned out till they are two years old.  At two we begin riding lightly in the round pen and arena for about thirty days.  They are then turned out till they are three

 

Training:  Foals begin training at birth and continue for the first six weeks of life.  Foals, mares and stallion are then turned out in a 1000 acre pasture for ten months; were the horses live as a herd, learning to negotiate rugged terrain and live together in a healthy environment.

 

Accomplishments:  Four of our horses are ranked seventh thru first in the world of mounted shooting in SASS.  Gabriela is AZ. State champion 2005 and 2006 CMSA. Rick & Hildago shooting

Sales:  The Ranch has foals, yearlings and green broke horses for sale.  At present there are three well trained geldings that will be offered this year for sale.
