Our Horses

Our Dogs

Our Goats



  ~ SPARKLING RIVER RANCH'S OUTLOOK ~

    When we decided which horses to use for our breeding program; we knew from experience that it had to be based on a multitude of reasons. We didn't just choose to use a horse for a particular color; because it isn't the color that gets you from point A to point B.

    Conformation & Personality; are two equally important traits. Each horse has to be willing, well mannered, sturdy, and sound; or they don't stay here. 

    Quality Pedigree; we do extensive research in the horses in each background. Occasionally you can stumble across a horse that doesn't really have a proven background, but they are phenomenal anyways. 

    Color; that's just the bonus wrapping over the TOTAL package.

    We intentionally keep our numbers down so we can keep the level of quality up to our expectations. We are concentrating our efforts to produce horses that can be competitive in the show ring; useful around the farm, and durable out on the trails.

  

 


   

So. Dakota Sunrise


    In late November of 2005 we finally saw one of our dreams come true.  We sold our property in Wisconsin and moved to So. Dakota. We wanted to get back to the easier side of life, and slowly that is happening. Some major changes included phasing out the breeding business, which will allow us more time to really enjoy our horses.

In the next year, we hope to go riding in some fantastic places like the Black Hills, or the Shawnee National Forest in Illinios, or even simply down the rode to the huge lake north of town.

Sit back and take a minute to enjoy all of the photo's.

Welcome to our little piece of Heaven on earth!
