Horses are a great part of the ranch.   For five generations the ranch has been in the hands of horse enthusiasts that have endeavored to raise good horses.   The horses have our hats taken off to them for all they have done.   Not that long ago they were used for all the haying, feeding, fencing, and of course - cowboying.  Before that they were also used for the clearing of the ranch’s fields, getting the kids to school, transportation and pleasure.  They are still used for all our cowboying and for sport and pleasure. The ranch has also always raised horses to sell. Thirty years ago there were 150 head in the broodmare band.  We now run around 30 broodmares and 3 stallions.  We break and train everything on the ranch while using them for work.  Mike and Tara show some reined cowhorses  (cutting, reining, & fence work).  Will and Wes do a lot of team roping.  Mike also trains a few rope horses and Tara trains a barrel horse now and then. We do not stall anything.  The horses are raised in big country which makes them healthy and lets them be horses. Mike believes that a good horse is good at anything.  We pay attention to every characteristic that makes a good horse. Thank you for visiting the Horses section of our web site. We invite you to learn more about Playboys Buck Fever and our other stallions, as well as see our horses for sale, and of course look at the many show, ranch and rodeo photos we have on the site.
