  • Hi, We bought a horse from you and just wanted to let you know he's been doing just fine. He has quieted down and will make a good cow horse. We are first going to have him pull a sleigh. I can only say good things about him so far. He is very mellow for his age. So pleased with his breeding. - Ontario.

  •  Hi There This Is K.C. Ladeck again wanting to update you with some new pictures and new updates on RR Dandy Tulsa. He just turned 10 on June 16th which means we have had him for 4 years now. He’s doing so well. I graduated high school this year and I couldn’t have my senior portraits without him which I have attached to this email. Tulsa and I were senior counselors at our last year of horse camp put on through placer county 4-H. Tulsa did very good, helping me by ponying young riders on their horses who were not yet confident enough to ride their horses with out help. He also carried the American flag again during the nation anthem. Since I just turned 18 I’m old enough to join the placer county mounted search and rescue team. I am excited to report that I am training Tulsa to be a search and rescue horse. He’s doing really well with all the obstacle parts of the training. He’s also getting more confident riding on trails by himself and happily rides with new horses on trails. I’m attending a junior college that’s 10 minutes from the barn and all my classes are in the morning, leaving me the rest of the day to sit at the barn with Tulsa and do homework, then hopefully ride when homework is done. Just wanted to Update you on this fantastic horse...  - K.C. Ladeck
     
  •  Thought you' d like to see lil' RR Zan Shaker ... She's quite a pistol. Loves to work!! ... "Rain" must have taken after her father...loves to rein and is awesome at team penning. - Dr Anna Marie
  •  
  • I just wanted to start by saying thank you. I bought a bay roan colt at your sale in Ontario this past fall. He is amazing!! My 4 year old son can lead him around anywhere. He loads, he ties, he does everything he is asked.
     
  • Lani's doing absolutely amazingly!  Like I said before, she just continues to blow us (and everyone who meets her) away. She's got a tremendous personality, and is so mature and sensible. She's got a huge work ethic and is so willing, and she catches on to whatever you're teaching her in no time. She shows a lot of natural talent as well, even in the round pen she works right off her back end and she breaks right through her back in her rollbacks. She's been a pleasure to work with and train, and she will always have a spot in our barn. We backed her a few times throughout last year, but we've just begun to start her seriously. Our future plans for her are penning and sorting, and we'd also love to try reined cow horse events with her - she shows a lot of potential. She will be introduced to the bit as soon as she's ready, although she's already very sensitive and keen to leg and hand aids. She has been ridden a few times since then, and even though the weather makes it hard even to get across to the arena regularly she's still going great!  Thanks a lot, - Charlotte

  • Cameo is doing wonderful,growing like a weed and has kept us guessing on her coloring...she was really golden early this summer and but since her winter hair is coming in she has started to lighten & show dapples over her body.

  • Hello Mr. Rothwell - My name is K.C. Ladeck. I'm 17 years old and I live in Auburn California. I am very excited I found your contact information because I'm happy to report I have been a proud owner of one of your horses for 6 years now. He was born on your ranch in Miami, Manitoba June 16, 2003, He is a line back Dun and his name is RR Dandy Tulsa ... I just wanted to pass on he has a wonderful home and is loved unconditionally. I have been in 4-H for 9 years and have taken Tulsa to many horse shows. I have carried the American flag on him during the national anthem and even taught him a few tricks for a 4-H talent show. He is an everything kind of horse and is perfect for me. We ride trails, camp, hunter jump, barrel race, and rope for fun. He is definitely a do it all kind of horse … I have attached a few photos of him that I thought you and your family might enjoy seeing. He is spoiled and lots of fun...  - K.C. Ladeck

  • July 1,2006 - Moon, my grullo from you has been stolen..our daughter has taken him. She LOVES him.So for now,I ride Kopa,the dun. We are a good fit, he is kind and a bit lazy which is perfect for my old body. If I need him to go faster, he will but he prefers the leisurely pace just like me. Moon is perfect- She wants to try him out in games for 4H. I think he will do well.Actually I didn't give him up..because I LOVE to ride him too. The nice thing about him is that he will go and go and will try anything. He is perfectly behaved and has wonderful manners. It is such a treat to take him out and go on an adventure....he is always ready.We really love them both.Thanks - Anne, Nevis, MN
