About Our Operation

Our family farm currently has about  35 producing mares. The stallions are very strong individuals: Pretty Blue Quincy (a direct son of Blueboy Quincy), working cowhorse/reining bred Im Chexs Image, foundation bred Sassy Copper Bar, and RR Shotorum a big rope horse with proven reining/working cowhorse performance throughout his pedigree.  All stallions have photos and pedigrees listed on the stallion page. With each foal crop we strive to improve the caliber & quality of colts that we produce.

With the loss of Pretty Blue Quincy, the stallion that the majority of our program focused around, we spent many months sourcing out similar bloodlines and added 3 direct sons of Blueboy Quincy to our stallion battery: Docz Choctaw Sabre (red roan), Tyroan Blueboy (blue roan), & Blueboy Fritz and Bitz (palomino roan).  Very exciting additions to our breeding program!

Given the feed situation that every cattleman, and horse producer is facing this year dispersing our band of mares has been put on the back burner.  It would take a very special person to commit to buying a large package of mares in times like these.  While many mares have been sold there is still a really nice selection of top quality young mares available for sale.  Check out our sale pen for a listing of the mares.  Should you want a list of all of the horses and their prices just let me know.  For sale individually, paired, or in goups.
As much background information as possible about each mare has been provided for your reference.

Having had cattle (our equipment is listed for sale) for years is not only an asset, but key to the maintenance of our broodmare band.  Ace of Clubs Quarter Horses is an equine business with a discerning focus on quality; breeding, raising, and selling horses who are able to excel on the ranch or succeed in the performance arena.  Versatility of disciplines that a horse can achieve is an essential selection criteria in our breeding program.  The stallions within our battery are selected to compliment each mare's conformation, pedigree, disposition, and production record.  These critical elements will ensure that our future offspring will be compatible & successful partners with their new owners.

To understand the management strategy of our operation and the focus that we maintain, you have to realize that our breeding program revolves around these key strengths:

  • Nutrition - We practice diligent feed testing and have a mineral pack specially formulated for the horses by our nutritionallist.  Throughout the summer our grass is carefully managed for long term sustainability.  The horses also have access to fresh well water every day. (Waterlines have been ploughed to each pasture to fill automatic waterors, and there are also 6 Ritchie fountains at the corrals in the yard.)
  • Fertility - Directly correlated to good nutrition, but also to the individual animal selection.  Fertility is a must!  Who has the time or money that a problem mare costs to manage?
  •  Maternal - With cattle our focus was on maternal strength, and is no different with our horses.  An excellent mother is not only a fertile mare, but one who can milk, and raise a foal by positively nurturing it.  A good producing mare should always put what she has into raising the best foal possible.
  • Genetics - Blending different bloodlines is certainly going to produce a variety of results.  Each person has his or her own opinion of what the perfect bloodline is, and I certainly respect this as a breeder.  Particular bloodlines have proven that they can excel incredibly well in chosen venues.  It is simply finding the right cross that works for you, and within your program.  This is something given our numbers, and the maternal strength that we possess that we can experiment with.
  • Affordability - Our horses have got to be affordable, no matter their age or sex.  Each dollar that a person spends is hard earned and we have great respect for this, and every buyer wants the best bang for their buck.  With regards to this we are implementing a repeat buyer incentive on any animal purchased, if you have boughten at our farm before.

Our family welcomes your inquiries and comments about the stock or our website.

Continually we are updating relevant information within this website in order to keep it current.  Upgrades and changes are happening regularly as we try to improve how our site delivers information that may be important to you the customer in order to make the most informed selection and buying decisions about our horses.
