Broodmare Manager at Quarter Horse Raising & Training Facility

Overview
Most of the 24 horses on site are Quarter Horses that have been born here as have their mothers and grandmothers. Most have been sired by stallions who have produced at least one million dollars in reining, cutting, or working Stockhorse events. We have recently changed our focus to using four of our own stallions to breed our mares. The stallions are taken off site to be collected and there is no breeding of horses on our site.
