*** Click on the link above for sale horses ***
February 10th, 2026
These horses being offered are from a well-managed breeding program that David and myself and our kids worked very hard on and sacrificed much for over the past 30 years. from our small program, so far, 18 horses that we raised have went on to the national finals rodeo in las vegas with the different contractors that have purchased them over the years. We are very proud of what God has blessed us with and grateful for the privilege to work with such awe-inspiring creatures along side our kids.
It has been one of the biggest chapters of our lives, and as our middle daughter shared recently, "Most people go to their 9 to 5 jobs, scrape by and spend barely any time with their kids as they grow up. We got to do that differently, and I'm so grateful we did." David and I are too. We wouldn't change it.
As we turn the page of this chapter of our lives, we know the work of our hands that god has blessed, will bless others that will purchase these horses. There will be quite a few for sale, and I will add them daily.
The only ones we will keep are the buckers that we have bought back over the years and retired here, plus the mares that don't produce any more and will live out their lives here until they are no more.
Stay tuned...

Meanwhile, enjoy some pictures of our buckers!

***Note on our breeding program***
We have spent the last three decades breeding very few select mares to handpicked stallions or ranch raised stallions from our own program. What has been sold and bucking in the pro rodeo stage is not from quantity, but only quality numbers. For every career bucker out there, there is not an equivalent number or more that didn't turn out having great rodeo careers or being excellent blood line producers. We are very proud of all the NFR horses that have come out of our program, but equally proud of all those that keep doing their job, keep the contractors getting their rodeos and keep the cowboys going to the pay window.
We have been very diligent on our bloodlines, but also on the handling of our animal athletes, so they go out into the rodeo world with every bit of ability to think, do their job, keep their cowboys safe in the bucking chute and go back to eating and relaxing after their 8 seconds of work.
We are also very grateful for the chance we've had to bring home our buckers after retirement so they can live out their days on the MX Bar Ranch.

Just a little info on us:
​
We’ve been in the bucking horse industry for over 30 years. We started with our own bloodlines in 1995 and have carefully selected mares and stallions to compliment our breeding program.
​
With the growth of our program, also came the growth of our family, and we welcomed River, Julianna and Matt into the mix. For those that know us, we never left home for futurities or rodeos without them. They are a huge part of our success, and we are so blessed to call them our children. Even today, with them all in their own careers and all have spouses, they still all come back to the ranch to help us out - whether it be bucking young colts or fixing fence or checking stock.
With our program, we’ve been very diligent in managing our herd, wanting to produce only animals that will do the job they were bred to do. David rode Saddle Bronc horses for many years, and understands the “cowboy” side of wanting to get on a good bucking horse that will bring you to the pay window.
We have been very cautious about managing our breeding program so as to ensure that the highest percentage of bucking horse prospects turn out into solid career horses.
We’ve had a good number of our horses make it to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo so far since we “fine-tuned” our program, and many others have done well for the stock contractors that have bought them.
