Dee Bar, Our New Dude Ranch Horse

I bought three new horses for the Dude Ranch on the drive back to Arizona through Texas. One of the horses, Dee Bar, is unusual. He is an extremely well bred big sorrel – a real good-looking horse. He was kept to be a stallion on a good quality, small size AQHA ranch near San Antonio. Unfortunately, his owner died leaving the widow with her hands full of weanlings, yearlings, broodmares and two stallions. Meantime Dee Bar became a gelding and was sent for training as a reiner, but after that he didn’t get to do much. He was trail ridden by a neighbor occasionally, but spent most of his time in pens or stalls. So he is 7 going on 3 in training. But he is even tempered and very smart – and absolutely gorgeous. We hope he will make a great ranch horse – he certainly has the potential.
