Our Brief History

We have always had an "eye" for foundation bloodlines.  From our first appaloosas in 1974 to our present herd, the look of the Phippen model has captivated us.

Seeing an ad for Joseph Plains that emphasized foundation breeding in 1992, inspired us to focus our breeding and make it "true to the model."

Many have given us guidance along the way.  We thank them for helping us get to the point where we are producing some of the purest bred appaloosas  in the world!    

We are passionate about this breed and love to pass on the knowledge others imparted to us.  We invite you to contact us with any questions you have on the breed and our horses.
