Rio came to us in March of 2020 from South Dakota bred for a May baby. She was unfortunately never started due to no time which is why she was offered for sale. She is super personable and loves attention. She fits in great here! She was ran with a large herd of mares before we got her so I think she was quite happy to get more attention and not be pushed around so much. Now that she is in a smaller herd she is our boss mare.
She has outstanding confirmation, nice big hip, pretty feminine head. Previous owner said she has TONS of speed, she was running their herd in and she was in the lead running 30 mph! We couldn’t be more excited for her long future with us!

ROM Halter
Larry Larson showed him as a yearling to numerous class wins, but unfortunately no points were awarded to yearlings at that time. The following year Joe Quincy went on to earn 21 halter points and multiple grands under Brad Shaw. As an older horse he made a nice calf horse. He stamped his offspring and to this day you can walk thru a horse sale and pick out his descendents by their pretty heads and swan necks – even three-and-four generations later
