STALLIONS
We have a wide variety of stallions. From ranch/rope sires to cutting/reining, we have a little bit of everything. We're not afraid to cross the ranch/rope horses with our cutting/reining horses to add some of that good foundation quarter horse bone back into the cutting/reining horses either. We feel not only do they get some added body and confirmation but also make them a well rounded prospect that really can go do anything asked of them.
MM BLUE RICOCHET
“Rico”
2013 AQHA Blue Roan Stallion
5 panel N/N, 15.2H
Sire: Black Ricochet x Drifts Chip,PE $126,248+ & AQHA Pt Earners(Double Drift x Diamond Isle) x Tontos Tiki (Tiki Mount x Tontos Baby Jane)
Dam: Keep True Blue x Keep Ole Bob(Keep The Fire,AQHA Champion,PE AQHA Champions x Charming Robin) x Truly Unruly JW (True to Form x Wilful Chick)
We purchased Rico as a weanling from Moose Mountain Ranch’s production sale. Rico's sire,Ricochet Black, was bred at the 6666 Ranch and has produced ranch and rope horses. Rico himself was started but suffered a hoof injury leaving him behind in training while he healed. He’s gentle, big bodied, correct, and has a very elegant head. Rico's first foal crop hit the ground in 2017. We have no doubt in the right hands, that his foals will be successful in the roping pen as well as great ranch and rodeo prospects. His foals are taking on his disposition of being gentle, good minded, and SMART. Every one we’ve worked with after weaning has been easy going and picks up everything very quick.
Rico’s full brother,MM True Black, who was owned and jackpotted off of by Clay Ullery successfully until he sold at 2019 Ranch Rio for $39,000.
PEPTO PRINCE DR
“Pepto”
2010 AQHA Red Roan Stallion
4 panel N/N, N/HRD, 14.2H
Sire: NQH Mossy Boon,LTE $2,018,PE $ Earners-NCHA, RCHA & AQHA Pt Earners x Peptoboonsmal,LTE $180,487,PE $28M+ (Peppy San Badger,LTE $172,710,PE $25M+ x Royal Blue Boon,LTE $381,764,PE $2M+) x Smart Janie JR,PE $37,744 (Smart Little Lena,LTE $743,275,PE $42.3M+ x Rey Jay Janie,LTE $1200,PE $200,000+)

We purchased Pepto in 2016 and he made a quite literal splash with his first foal crop in 2017. He sired some incredibly marked foals that year and has continued to do so ever since! His foals are easy, smart, versatile and athletic to work with. Pepto has offspring performing in breakaway, barrels, ranch/trail classes, roping, and of course offspring that work for a living on ranches too! Pepto also has offspring in training for reined cowhorse as well as cutting. We’re excited to see his offspring progress in the show pens.
Pepto is finished in reining. He was shown lightly in NRHA green reiner and AQHA ranch pleasure prior to our ownership. We find the Peptoboonsmal line to be very versatile. Pepto has no formal training on cattle or the flag to our knowledge but his natural instinct kicks in when we’ve worked him on the flag here at home. His sire,NQH Mossy Boon, is an NRHA money earner. NQH Mossy Boon is a full brother to 2006 NCHA Freshman Sire of the Year, Hesa Peptospoonful. NQH Mossy Boon was an open finalist at the 2005 NSHA Snaffle Bit Futurity, where he was also the champion of the 2005 NSHA reining. He was an open finalist in the 2006 AQHA world show junior reining as well. Pepto’s dam, Bar Badger DR (Peps Gray Badger x Docs Marty) goes back to Peponita,LTE $ 126,221,PE $2M+ and Doc Bar, AQHA Hall of Fame and Sire of NCHA Futurity winners, world champions and top-10 horses.
MAGNETIC PEP DR
"Mag"
2014 AQHA Bay Roan Stallion
14.3H, 5 panel N/N
Sire: Magneticat,LTE $11,000+,PE $24,874+ & AQHA Pt Earners x Metallic Cat,LTE $637,711,PE $58M+(High Brow Cat,LTE $100,800,PE 92M+ x Chers Shadow,LTE $1,675,PE $1.37M+) x Wanda Rey,LTE $90,000(Dual Rey,LTE $105,038,PE $52.97M+ x Stella Starlight,LTE $310,379,PE $522,000+)

Mag's papers are jam-packed with money earners from the NCHA, NRCHA, and NRHA! We've kicked ourselves alot of the years for not furthering his training and showing him. He's very athletic and catty so much so, that we've made outcross foals on him that are showing or have placed into performance homes thus far. His oldest foal crop is 2021 and one of those is showing in reined cowhorse this 2024 season. We're excited for Mag's future as a sire!
TLJ SWEET AUTUMNBOON
“Enzo”
2018 AQHA Bay Roan Stallion
14.2H, 6 panel N/N
Sire: Autumn Boon Doc x Autumnator,PE $6700+ & AQHA Pt Earners(Smart Little Lena,LTE $743,275,PE $42.3M x Autumn Boon,LTE $258,185,PE $1.9M+) x HA Sienas Dual Doc(Nitro Dual Doc,LTE $53,826 x Sienna Tari,LTE $16,574)
Dam: McCalls Sweet Haida,PE NRCHA $ Earner x Haidas Little Pep,LTE $357,010,PE $9.5 M+(Peppy San Badger,LTE $172,710,PE $25M+ x Docs Haida,LTE $67,305) x Public Intoxication(High Brow Hickory,LTE $222,959,PE $5 M+ x Panolas Little Lena,LTE $74,092)
Enzo is our youngest homegrown stallion by our late Autumnator son, Autumn Boon Doc, & out of our wonderful NRCHA $ producing Haidas Little Pep daughter, McCalls Sweet Haida. Enzo is unshown due to an injury as a long yearling, but we think he’ll be an impressive sire in the years to come. He’s catty, correct and has an easy-going personality. He greets you the minute he sees you and is really turning into a handsome young stallion. We did a little test run in 2021 with Enzo and were pleased with his 2022 filly, JQH Velvet Rodeo.

TLJ SONNY SALTY BEAU
"Los"
2016 AQHA Red Roan Stallion
14.3H, 5 panel N/N
Sire: Its Sonny Pine Bar x Sonnys Billy Dee Bar(Sonny Dee Bar,AQHA Hall of Fame-AQHA Pt Earner,Produced Offspring-35,000+ Pts x Continental Last) x Pines Roan Dee (Pine Poco Scooter x Des D Pine) 5 Panel N/N
Dam: Saltys Tiny Beau x Saltys Baldy (Saltys Devil 5 x My Impressive Sissy) x Tinkle Beau (Beaus Firecracker x Melody Deb)
Better known as "Squeaker". Squeaker had a rough start in life. His dam Saltys Tiny Beau (Baldy) passed at foaling due to complications and we were left to raise him. We vowed to do whatever it took to see him through and we did. He picked up his nickname, Squeaker ,during those late night bottle feedings. You can't tell now that he was ever an orphan. He is a thick horse much like his sire, Sonny and great grandsire, Salty. With Squeaker, you could say we've stuck to tradition. We got the best of both worlds with him being a son of Sonny as well as him being a great grandson of Grandpa's beloved Salty. He's built right and heavy made which can't be said for most modern day quarter horses. So far, we've bred him on a limited basis while his Sonny retired but so far we like what we see, correct, heavier made, quiet and pretty headed foals.
TLJ SONNY PINE OTE
“Big Rooster”
2016 AQHA Bay Roan Stallion
15H, 5 panel N/N
Sire: Its Sonny Pine Bar x Sonnys Billy Dee Bar(Sonny Dee Bar,AQHA Hall of Fame-AQHA Pt Earner,Produced Offspring-35,000+ Pts x Continental Last) x Pines Roan Dee (Pine Poco Scooter x Des D Pine) 5 Panel N/N
Dam: Miss Gees Ote x Gees Gallo,AQHA Pt Earner,PE Pt Earners(Gallo Del Cielo,LTE $28,438,PE $6M+ x Gees Last) x Cody Miss Ote,PE AQHA PT Earner(My Lucero x Hanks Golden Egg,AQHA Pt Earner,PE $1991)
Big Rooster is another great son of our beloved Sonny. Big Rooster’s dam Miss Gees Ote aka “Rooster” (Gees Gallo x Cody Miss Ote) is a granddaughter of Gallo Del Cielo. His dam is also a great granddaughter of Doc Quixote, NCHA Non-Pro Futurity Champion LTE $3,728, PE $10M+, and goes back to Doc Bar twice as well as King. He carries both Sonny and Rooster’s disposition of being sweet and good minded. Big Rooster’s first foal crop arrived in 2020. So far, he's crossed well on each mare we've tried. He throws his quiet mind and disposition along with correct and big bodied foals.
BOOT SCOOTIN BOONIE- FOR SALE
"Patron"
2009 AQHA Bay Roan Stallion
14 1/4H, 5 panel N/N
Sire: Smart Lena Boon,PE $210,000+ x Smart Little Lena,LTE $743,275,PE $42.3 M+ (Doc O’Lena,LTE $21,991,PE $2.1M+,3,978.5 AQHA Pts x Smart Peppy,NCHA $ Earner,PE $1.1M+) x Bet Yer Boons,LTE $73,280,PE $191,266 (Peptoboonsmal,LTE $180,487,PE $28M+ x Bet Yer Blue Boons,LTE $350,615,PE $1.2M+)
Dam: Dudes Anda Fancy x Dudes Hickory (Brinks Hickory Tab,LTE $7,672 x Anda Dude) x Fancy Freckles Model (Freckles Fantasy,LTE $125,408 x Sport Model Snippy)
You don't see alot of Smart Lena Boon offspring out there! Patron is a gorgeous bay roan with good bone and hoof despite his size. We purchased him in late 2018 so his first foal crop for us was in 2020. We have pictures readily available of every foal he's sired for us for potential buyers. The majority of his foals for us have been roan or rabicano, very few sorrels & bays, depsite the mares' color. Patron is broke, however, we have not ridden him during his time with us and were not provided video to see how well broke he is. We've decided to downsize a pasture for now to focus on our young stallion prospects' riding careers. Patron deserves to be the center of someone's program and unfortunately we can't give that to him here. Our loss, is your gain! He throws correct, well-built foals with lightning quick athleticism. He's covered a variety of size of mares while here too, from 14H-15.1H. His 2024s will be our last offering of his.
ITS SONNY PINE BAR
"Sonny" was purchased by Grandpa Soren out of Spencer, Nebraska as a 2 year old. Sonny is 15.2 and 5 panel N/N. He has consistently sired beautifully headed colts with good bone and stocky structure. He leaves his mark on his foals whether it be their beautiful confirmation or his laid back personality. He has produced many wonderful ranch/rope working horses as well as ranch versatility and trail partners. His babies can go out and work but are also refined enough for the show pen. Sonny's a client favorite as he's brought clients back on several occasions. We've kept back 3 of his sons to keep his beautiful good-natured lineage in our breeding program. You'll also find we have a good foundation of Sonny daughters & granddaughters in our broodmare band. Sonny officially retired from our breeding program in 2022.
Sonny is of old-school show horse lines. If you know the basis of our program, you'll know we keep our Grandpa Soren's prized Saltys Devil 5 lines in our breeding program to this day as well.
Sonny is a grandson of Sonny Dee Bar, show horse & successful sire. He produced successful offspring, including world champion Sonny Go Lucky, AQHA Champion Reynolds Rap, world champion sire Red Sonny Dee, and high-point Western pleasure stallion Sonny Deluxe. Sonny Dee Bar’s offspring have earned over 35,000 points in four different breed organizations. He sired 1,068 foals, including 409 point earners that earned 24,106 points in AQHA competitions. Some of Sonny Dee Bar's sons went on to become leading sires of performance horses as well, including Scotch Bar Time, Reynolds Rap, Sonny Go Royal and Sonny Go Lucky.He was inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 2003.
LCB DRIFTWOOD PRINCE
“Prince”
2001 AQHA Buckskin Stallion
15.3H, 5 panel N/N
Prince was born & raised on the ranch. His coloring and size have garnered him admirers over the years. Prince's last foal crop was in 2022, he retired out of the breeding program and is enjoying retirement here with us.
PAST SIRES
These stallions may no longer be with us but still influence our broodmare band as well as our stallion prospects today and will continue to do so. Gone but never forgotten.
MIGHTY MAN OTOE
"Pinky" was a 2004 AQHA Perlino stallion. He was 5 panel N/N and 15.2 hands. He was bred and born here. Eventually, finding his place as one of our sires. We made the very hard decision to lay Pinky to rest in 2020 due to declining health. During his time, he gave us some of the most beautiful, correct and obviously colored foals we could've ever asked for. We have several of his daughters in our broodmare band. He enabled us to cross our oldest bloodline Saltys Devil 5, typically known to be sorrels, chestnuts and bays, and get guaranteed buckskins, palominos, and duns to diversify our ranch/rope horses. Many of his offspring have gone on to be using horses on ranches as well as trusted rope horses,trail partners and even barrel racers.
DUALAROANIE
"Dual" was a 2005 AQHA blue roan stallion. He was 14.2hh and 5 panel N/N. We lost Dual unexpectedly in early 2019. We purchased Dual out of California in 2014 where he had been a finished cutter. In the short time that we had the pleasure of having him here with us, he gave us some smart and beautiful foals. We have a select group of daughters that have been added to our broodmare band as well as young son we're currently growing up. Dual had a lovable personality and was known to come running up to us in the pasture and long stay past his mares moving on. Dual's foals have proven to be versatile so far not only as cowhorses but in chasing barrels as well.
Dual is a son of Duals Blue Boon, LTE $210,000 (Dual Pep, LTE $313,192, PE $28.5 M+ x Royal Blue Boon, LTE $ 381,764, PE $2 M+) and out of Doc Sugs Royal Miss, LTE $16K (Doc's Sug, NCHA money-earner x Royal Princess Miss).
AUTUMN BOON DOC
"Boon" was a 2013 AQHA bay roan stallion. Boon was 14.2 hh and 5 panel N/N. We acquired Boon at the same time as Pepto. In 2017, we bred a handful of mares to Boon. Boon suffered an injury mid-winter after his first breeding season and after some mending, he re-injured himself furthering the damage to the point that we had to make the difficult decision to lay him to rest. That following spring we had 5 stunning foals from him. We retained one filly and two stud colts. One of the stud colts will be listed shortly as we are keeping the other for a stallion prospect.
Boon is by Autumnator, unshown due to injury (Smart Little Lena, AQHA Hall of Fame, NCHA Triple Crown Champion, LTE $ 743,275, PE $ 43.4M+ x Autumn Boon LTE $258,185, PE $1.9 M+) x HA Sienas Dual Doc (Nitro Dual Doc, LTE $53,826 x Sienna Tari, LTE $16,574).
TLJ DUALABLUE
"Lil Dual" was a 2017 AQHA blue roan stallion. He was 14.2 hands and 5 panel N/N. Lil Dual was a homegrown we had sold as a weanling. When we unexpectedly lost Dual, we decided to purchase Lil Dual back mid 2019 as a 2 year old to fill Dual's void in our program. Little did we know his time with us would be short as well. He passed away during the night shortly after finishing his first & only breeding season in 2020. We are expecting 5 foals in 2021.
Lil Dual was by DualaRoanie ( Duals Blue Boon, LTE $210K x Doc Sugs Royal Miss, LTE $16K) x Blue Zanstastic (Bar T Zanstastic x Zans Blue Nifty).
SALTY SONNY PINE
“Pine” was a 2002 red roan AQHA stallion. Pine was 15-15.1hh and 5 panel N/N. He was a son of our Sonny. We bought him in hopes of him taking Sonny's place later on in our breeding program as well as bringing in Grandpa Soren's beloved, Salty Devil 5 bloodline, up closer among our herd from the stallion side. Pine bred his first herd of mares with us in 2015. Pine had such a laid-back personality that we decided to send him off for a riding tune-up where he immediately got sick at the trainer's. We ended up losing him after a stay in the nearby equine hospital.
