I hate to brag on our Ranch bred horses...but I just have to.
Our "Cody" horses prove over and over again that we have one of the best bloodlines on the East Coast. Below are several video clips made Sept 19, 2008 of an Appendix Quarter Horse that we bred and raised.
 I know that alot of you think that when a horse has quite a bit of TB in them...WATCH OUT.... they cetainly can't be like the foundation Quater Horses that have come to be the cornerstone of the American Quarter Horse.
 Codys Full Circle( Dundee) is by A Classic Cody and out of Jockey Club Registered TB mare. He is a special boy with lots of personality and the eyes and expression of his sire. He loves to be with his "humans" and he loves to show off.
 Below are several clips made just 4 1/2 months of literally dragging him out of the field with little to no handling except for our imprinting program at Mountaintop Ranch that gives all of our foals their great foundation.
 I can't say enough about our training program here and our head trainer on staff, Luann Taylor. She has guided this program to be one of the best in this part of the country. She is widely respected and works with countless apprentices that travel from all over the world just to work with her for as long as their visas will let them stay. She rides both english and western disciplines and is trustworthy and thorough in all of her training techniques and more important...she is always kind...never dominating.
 If you have time, take a look at what a good trainer at a good facility with a great breeding program can accomplish in a very short amount of time.
 "Dundee" is for sale and our doors are always open to talk with you about training your horse or finding "the perfect match "for you or your horse. ENJOY!
