Bucking V Outfit is a small horse breeding operation
in Montana. We are located south of Billings on the Crow Indian Reservation.
We raise a few foundation bred AQHA cowhorses and a few rare ranch-type
hypoallergenic North American Curly Horses. We sell horses all over North
America & Europe.
Our Montana ranch horses are primarily range bred &
raised. They grow & mature slowly, and are naturally well socialized.
We select for those between-the-ear traits: friendliness, intelligence,
trainability & cow. We are absolutely UNCOMPROMISING when it comes to
temperament. Our stallions must behave like geldings in public. When guest
ranching, we put green dudes on our green studs. Safely. That says a mouthful.
In fact throughout my website, individual horse descriptions usually do not
mention their temperament, because that should go without saying. That is
their first qualification for being here to begin with. There are enough
good horses around to never put up with, or certainly to breed, any silly
horses. As I heard one known clinician say, "no horse is worth one drop of
my [or my child's] blood."
Our horses carry Joe Hancock, Blue Valentine,
Mr Roan Hancock, Two Eyed Jack, Lynx Nomad and foundation other
working cowhorse bloodlines.
We breed rugged, athletic, true using ranch cowhorses.
For years we have been selecting & breeding horses that are tough &
easy keeping, with athletic ability, big bone, ample feet, excellent
conformation, with lots of size and muscling. Donna comes from competitive
AQHA judging background, so we also appreciate pretty horses. We want to
be comfortable riding all day, and do a day's work on. We want horses that
we can rope off of. We want horses that can rustle for themselves, and take
care of themselves when turned out. Our horses run together, studs in bachelor
bands with geldings, sometimes geldings have run out with stud bands. They
breed and foal out on the range. We want horses that we are proud of, and
look good on. And, horses we feel personally connected to; partners with
personality. After all those good qualities, we then strive to produce roan,
blue roan, grulla (grullo), & dun colors on top.
Lynx Copper Crescent
2005 - 2009. We have reduced numbers
from over 100 ranch horses (in 1998) down to our last few head,
a "Last Stand" band of solid quality foundation bred Quarter Horse
mares, with one AQHA stallion prospect. Being forced to severely
downsize, the advantage has been two-fold: We have shared good genetics
with a lot of other good folks out there, & met lots of wonderful
people. And we have narrowed our focus down to our absolute last
few favorites - the ones that have worked most consistently &
successfully for us over the years.
