Hello all, and thank you so much for visiting our website!

My name is Chey and my hubbys name is Tico. We have been ranching together for 7 years now. I started in 1999, and my husband has been doing it all his life.
I grew up in the river bottoms of Kings County. Not a horse as far as the eye could see. Not a relative with enough blood to pass onto me to give me "horse" fever. I was born with it. I havent a clue why I had such a passion for horses. But I do! My mom still recalls when she had the neighbor call her because I was riding their bulls!
Many people say I have a 6th sense with the horses. And people watch me in awe when I work with the horses. I never had training, never even envolved in FFA, 4H nothing. I only had a cat and dog growing up! :)
When I moved out of the house, you got it. I bought me my 1st horse, "Kat". she was a titled BLM mustang mare. And I bought her from my, now, husband. I remember his wave and grin, when I jumped on her. "Good luck!" he said. And off I rode into the sunset. I later bought a filly, Bandit, from him as well. Yep. another mustang. We never spoke since for about another year or so.
When I wanted to breed 2 of my mares, I contacted Tico. During this time I had aquired 5 horses. Rio, Cody, Bandit, Kat, and Blaze. Blaze was my first registered APHA horse. Her bloodlines got me started in researching and that turned into a hobby, then into a passion, then into a obsession. Throw a name at me. I have gone back to 1300AD and into the Sheik Arabian blood.
Breeding my Rio and Kat kind of brought Tico and I closer. I never bred before, nor did the stallion owner, other then his own mares. So, it was a all around learning experience. Rio bred with the stallion like nothing. But Kat threw a fit. In the end, she threw a fatal kick to his chest, killing the stallion. To my amazement, as well as the stallion owners. Both took to him. And we all learned a long hard lesson.
Tico and I began dating and we decided to move together and make a family. We were in the process of moving, and I had in the trailer my mare Kat, and his mare Ginger. We were in a accident and his mare squished against my Kat, killing her. We lost Kat, her inutero foal, the truck, and trailer. He walked away with a huge knot on his head, and I had broken ribs and multiple other things to list.
Well, my passion died with Kat that day. Or so I thought. But Tico taught me a lot about life lessons. He grew up in Texas, you know. Where "the west was won" and he taught me how to over come fears. I had a little filly I adopted from the BLM and she helped me learn all over so much about love for horses. With Tico and "Odie" to pull me along. We all survived, and horses came back into our lives...double time.
We started a ranch where we started breeding and standing stallions. During this time we also bought, sold, trained, and rehabilitated horses of all breeds and colors. We had some top knotch breeding mares, stallions and beautiful foals. One day, we looked at eachother and said "why?" We had so many horses, no time for eachother or our family. So we sold all the horses that we no longer needed. We only kept 2 horses Lady and Casper. We later bought Rosie, who is my daughters horse.
Tico knows so much, but never applied it. I didnt know much, and wanted to learn. In the end, I now know more then he! We went on to rescue BLM horses. At one time we had 13 horses. We have placed them all in good homes. We now raise AQHA and APHA horses and still occasionally run a small rescue on the side.
We have a vast knowledge in horses. And love to apply it where we can. We would love to help you anyway we can. But we no longer offer training to outside horses. And that has saddened a bunch of folkes. But it is in our best interest not to. Days keep comming, and we dont get any younger. We are changing things around and just becomming subtile horse owners. My daughter is getting into things and we will be focusing more on her, and our small herd of family members.
