Anybody here know about this Ranch and why he just left them there? Sounds like they are well bred horses.

You can tell they are well bred QH's, what will happen now? I mean atleast they are getting fed #1 priority, or will all their good breeding/papers get lost now? from what I heard they were highly desired stock at one time. Ryan do you know anything about their breeding? I want one of those blue roan babies!

Yes some very nice working, foundation and ranch horse bloodlines... Leachman is a genetics guru in cattle circles.

Lot of Blue Valentine, High Rolling Roany, Gumbo Roany, Hairpin Araphaoe, Blue Boy Quincy, Derek Hancock, Lot of big country cowboy horses from eastern montana.

Horses usually have "Hairpin" in their name.

I'm guessing once spring comes and they get the horses rounded up the State and Feds will hold a sale and sell them off.

as always...buyer beware....BE VERY Careful in getting horses from there. They have had some complaints about getting paperwork correct from leachmans and AQHA.

Like I said go a google search on Leachman Hairpin Cavvy.

Here are the studs that were listed in their last 2007 sale catalog.

Many are probably in this DB

Hairpin Gumbo Pete
Rolling Jax Cooper
Hancock Bee Blue
Roan Magnolia
Hairpin Blue Roany
Cache Country
Derek Hancock
Bluepepper Valentine
Hairpin My Valentine
Hairpin Arapahoe
Hairpin Blue Collar
JP Hancock Eighteen
Blue race Runner
Billy Black Chex
Hairpin Whiskey Sour
Cols Tutor
Hairpin Sip N Whiskey
Gents Traveler (now in Texas)
Montana Ranch Bars
Peppi Dox
Blue Boy Revenue
Blue Note Quin
Royal Osage Handy
TC Little Boy Blue
Wrangler Cowboy Cut
Ridgewood Redford
Dallas Sterling (now in ID)

Most of theses stallions I believed were leased to Leachmans - many are from surrounding breeders in MT, and Wyoming and the Dakotas.

You are awesome, thanks Ryan. I'm sort of OCD when it comes to my horses paperwork. I wonder if after everything the paper work is straight even before they go to auction like you say, but those blue roan babies sure are cute. I'm so glad they are getting fed right now, although I'm a bit worried about all the onesie twosie's they were talking about will find out that the food wagon finally arrived poor things.

If I knew how to attach a scan pic to this I'd add the ID chart the Leachman uses to ID the horses.

I googled that name like you said, wow Shocked

Whenever ever I buy a horse or a dog for that matter, the papers have to be signed in order and in may hand when I leave with the animal.
