~ History ~ |
|
We are a small family owned
operation and have been breeding, raising,
and rescuing Pinto's for 20 plus years. We are located in Southern BC,
Canada, less then an hour drive from the US border and an hour and a
half from Vancouver International Airport.
Our focus is on the Tobiano Pinto Sporthorse suitable for
the Hunter/Jumper, Dressage and Eventing disciplines.

~ Breeding Philosophy
& Goals ~ |
|
We breed and raise a small
number of foals each year as well as the
occasional youngster purchased elsewhere. Because all our horses
get individual care and handling we keep our program focused on
Quality and not Quantity. Our mares and youngsters are on a regular
trimming, worming, and vaccination schedule. As well they are
handled daily and become very "people" oriented.
We focus our breeding program on producing
big colored elegant
foals with willing temperaments and free lofty movement. We strive
for colored foals but even the ones with "plain wrapping" are
wonderful athletes. Our belief is temperament is the first priority as
most of the horses we raise become amateur or junior horses and
need to be "Lovers" not "Fighters". Weather permitting they live
out
on grass fields and are barned at night during the winter or on very wet
days during the rest of the year.
We choose not to stand our own stallion so
we can select from the very
best of well bred stallions around North America. Most of the time our
young horses sell by the time they are two years old, please enquire
early! Occasionally we have a homozygous youngster for sale.
If we do not have a Pinto to suit your
needs we will help you locate one.
The fee for this is 10% of the purchase price of the horse and all
transactions are negotiated before we agree to help you in your search.
Please call or e-mail us ...... we love to
"Talk Pinto!!"
John, Martha and Rachel Drennan.
