ABOUT US:


      Bucking V Outfit is owned by Donna & Daughters. The cowgirls are grown now; Sterrin is a brand inspector with the Montana Department of Livestock - in fact she is officially the second female market head in Montana state history; and has now transferred up to market head at Montana Livestock Auction, Ramsay MT (Butte). Valene was the lab technician working under Dr. Sher Nadir, PhD at ORIgen; a position typically available only to applicants w/ bachelor degrees.
      We went from over 100 ranch horses (in 1998, with 6500 acres of working cattle & guest ranching) down to just a select handful today on a modest rented 20 acres. Most of our horses are registered Quarter Horses of Hancock, Two Eyed Jack, Zan Parr Bar & Doc Lynx foundation bloodlines. Over the years, with AQHA judging team competition background, and large scale ranching experience, we have been fortunate to be able to develop what we believe is a pretty nice quality little horse program.
      Our AQHA stallion Red Apache Hancock is not perfect, but he is exciting to look at and to own! He is a very linebred Roan Hancock bloodline colt, with that great big cowhorse attitude & size. He is not broad, but cinches deep w/ great bone & saddle horse conformation, yet with a pretty head & neck. He is 15.3 hh, built like a sporthorse & moves like one. Other saddle horses have to lope to keep up w/ his lazy (very smooth-to-ride) trot, when he isn't even trying for speed. We think he could make a nice stallion over the right mares, and if we are real lucky, might even be homozygous for roan. He is heterozygous agouti so can produce blue roans as well. With today's horse market we will just play with him for quite a while before we decide whether to breed him. He had a wreck w/ his leg last year, and although he is sound, we are still working with the superficial blemish of the deal.

      Crow Country Curly Horses. Our secondary breed is the North American Curly Horse, specifically (not surprisingly) the Western cowhorse / stockhorse type which we are selecting & breeding for improved size, conformation & cow sense. Donna & Daughters became captivated by the rare Curly Horse in 1996 when acquiring their first Curly bands. The Curly Horse is hypoallergenic, and is known for their great durable easy-keeping characteristics such as substantial bone, hard healthy feet, AND, a very kind & steady temperament, with keen intelligence. The last few head of our best Crow Country Curly Horses continue to lead the breed standard for quality in the ranch horse type (Curly Horses come in all equine types). If you love Quarter Horses but are allergic to them, check out a beautiful alternative. Not all Curly Horses inherit the curly coat, and interestingly, some of these "smooth-coats" (SCs) are also hypoallergenic. Our SCs look like registered Quarter Horses.
      Our stallion is the famous *Seekers Warrior, and now Old West Curly Horses has procured *Rush River Slash. These are 2 of the best stockhorse curly stallions alive. We will continue breeding 1 - 2 curly babies per year, and will be selecting for sizey (roan AQHA Hancock X) stockhorse type Curly Horses suitable for allergic people needing horses for ranch work and trail riding.

      North American Curly Horse Registry (NACHR). By 1999 I realized that entrenched tunnel vision & politics in the Curly Horse industry were threatening to ignore the genetic health & diversity of the breed, and formed the International Curly Horse Organization (ICHO) with the very dedicated & talented help of several more "dissidents." ICHO is a non-profit international organization. Its branch registry is NACHR; but it is so much more - it is the leading resource for unbiased information about the Curly Horse, combining current research from leading world-renowned equine scientists with a comprehensive educational approach; an organization with a studbook and inspection program for breed development & improvement and public awareness & education about this rare hypoallergenic horse. I no longer do the website for ICHO, but chair the Genesis Committee, where we formed ICAMS, the premier international Curly Horse Inspection Program, and the Western Curly Stockhorse Association.



Fred & Tracy Dalke

      Old West Curly Horses. Seeking to reach out to kids w/ special needs, including Native American kids - and to enable all of us to pool our resources to preserve the dwindling last of the best stockhorse type Western bloodlines of Curly Horses - Crow Country Curly Horses joined forces w/ Fred & Tracy Dalke to form the not-for-profit Old West Curly Horses project. Watch for exciting things to come from this venture in the future.


      Rez-Dogs. Also in the future, when I get a place of my own, I will begin running the Rez-Dogs.com venture for increased awareness of unwanted dogs on the Native American Reservations. This will involve networking with neutering, rehab & adoption programs. I have been doing this as I am able on an individual basis, but one day I want to become organized. Rez-Dogs don't have pedigrees but they typically have unusual looks, temperament (love & loyalty), intelligence & survivability (tough!) that inspires admiration. Many choose their own owners. They are incredibly rewarding, and definitely very unique & different! If you want one, let me know!



      Curly Horse Web. Amy Stein and I started up this general portal website for the Curly Horse industry. It includes Curly Horse Classifieds, a breeder & stallion directory, articles, links, and reference pages for links about equine colors, horse trainers, and as complete as possible directory to horse haulers & transport services on the web. We have been doing webdesign for several years, after seeing a special need in the Curly Horse business, but we do all kinds of websites. Amy is capable of doing really top professional work, and I usually stick to the simple website designs. We also provide free Do-It-Yourself links & equine photography tips. We keep the directory listings free, and pay for our time & expenses with advertisements & webdesign. We welcome submissions.


      Hancock Horse Breeders Group. I started HancockHorses.com with Michelle Thompson out of Alberta, when we saw the need for it in the Quarter Horse industry. We keep the directory listings free, and pay for our time & expenses with advertising & webdesign. See the article written by John L. Moore (Miles City MT author) about HancockHorses.com in the April 2008 issue of America's Horse (AQHA membership magazine).

      Homozygous-Horses.com. I started this website in response to requests on Hancock Horses.com to list homozygous roan stallions outside of the Hancock bloodline. This site is just in its beginning stages, but is already a good equine color reference site for breeding horses with homozygous dominant trait genes: roan, tobiano, curl, as well as heterozygous dilutes and rare colors & unusual markings. Lots of networking & cooperation w/ equine experts, geneticists & breeders of the world. Already used by many as a quoted internet resource. This site will also remain a free listing directory, with photo advertisements & webdesign to help offset the cost of maintaining it. Submissions are welcome; this site is ready to take off this year.


      Montana Rope Halters. Darn slow getting off the ground. I have tied rope halters off and on since my college graduate days in Bozeman, originally tying for Pete Melmeker who started Double Diamond Halters. I have a buddy who is experimenting with a clamping machine, and when he gets the kinks worked out, we will be able to use copper clamps on the ends, and start official production. Hey! Got that done, AND the actual Halter Jig - Now in final stage, saving $ to purchase first rope order... The girls will help me tie when we are ready to start taking orders. I will move the Trading Post items, local Crow artisans' beadwork etc, over to this site.

      Montana-Ranch-Horses.com. I started this website in response to requests to photograph & consign nice quality horses for sale on the internet, owned by local friends & acquaintances. I have barely begun on this site - lots of work left to do. We don't expect great quantities here, but as for quality - we won't be listing anything on it except sure-enough nice horses. We will also take requests if you are looking for something in particular. (This site may die from neglect, I have been too busy to work on it or promote it this past year; but - we'll see.)






"Dear Donna, This is a great website! It is very informative. The information listed is very helpful in the process of horse purchases. I wish I had had this when I purchased my first two curlies. I now have three. While I'm very happy with my horses there are many things I would have changed had I had your information up front. I certainly will put this website in my list of favorites. Have a great day and stay safe. Sincerely, Johnette Yeager"

"Dear Donna, Came across your webpage today while searching for Native American Horsemanship info. Though I am not in the market for a curly horse, I found the information fascinating. I have a handful of Icelandic horses that sound like they have the same temperament. Native techniques and philosophy seem to work best for both me and the horses. The articles you provided will help me deal with some issues of respect and "personal space" that we are having. Thanks for taking the time to provide this! Best wishes and thanks again," Sue

"I found your web site today. It is rare that I spend an hour on any one web site, but couldn't quit. I must say I could probably spend all day just at your web site. It has some very valuable information, especially the natural horsemanship area. I printed off all your information on horsemanship and will reread the info on manners, that is very helpful for me. I've ridden well broke horses since I was maybe 5 yr old. I'm now 55 and it is a whole new world breaking and training your own. I can't wait to learn more of your way of training. Thanks again for your web site."  Linda in Kansas

"Outstanding!!!!!!! Donna, This is one of the best web site's I have ever had the pleasure to read. The information and knowledge is awesome. Thank you for sharing. God is blessing you. I'm a Rescue/Firefighter & Fire & Law Enforcement Chaplain. I was at ground zero on 9-11 in NYC from day 2, for 28 days, and at the OK City Federal building bombing for 18 days. And as we speak waiting to be called to Blacksburg Virginia. I'm also a brander and AI tech for beef cattle here in Texas. Blessings,"
