HMR Mares
Our girls here at High Mountain Ranch have been our pride and joy for well over 30 years. We have 3rd and 4th generation bloodlines that we hold close to our hearts. Every mare that we own has been specially chosen to be used in our program. Our oldest mares showed under our daughters through their youth years in cutting, working cow-horse and ranch versatility. Most have show earnings, some not yet. Our mares are used as lesson horses, broodmares and double as using horses on our ranch. We desire durability, versatility and trainability from our girls. Now that we have established a set of young mares by our sr stallion, we look forward to the next generations development! On this page we will give brief info on our broodmares and future broodmares. We hope to have another page built with articles and pictures of each one in the future.

Stylish Rockstar - Ana
That CD Rocks x Natural Stylish Oak x Peptos Stylish Oak
Ana (2013) was a promising filly barely started at two when she suffered a career ending injury. She was chased through a fence by a wild boar and severely cut her hind legs. Miraculously, Ana healed and recovered to be broodmare sound. Ana had an outstanding stop and draw that came to her naturally. Ana has produced some nice foals for us. Two of which are out doing great and one filly that we decided to keep for ourselves. We are excited about Ana's offspring and feel blessed with each foal she produces.
Cowpen Cat - Holly
Tomcat Chex x Cinnamon Knot
​
Holly (2009) is an own daughter of Tomcat Chex out of a 6666 Ranch bred mare by Texas Stray. We saw Holly and bought her from the NRCHA Futurity. She was shown and made top 10 in the limited open. We were not shopping at the time. Holly was a standout, platinum mane and a lot of size. For a three yr old she was notably stout and mature. We decided to try her and make an offer. Little did we know what a blessing she would be to our family. We showed her from four years old and on. She was consistent and uncompleted to haul and show. She now produces foals for us that are extremely trainable. We have kept all the fillies out of Holly to this point.

Just Plain Colonel x Rema Chex
Jane (2001-2024) was an HMR original. Sired by Just Plain Colonel, out of Rema Chex ( Susan’s first American Quarter Horse ). Jane was one of the first to be born and raised at HMR. Jane was a precious mare, full grit and spice with a willing mind. She was on track for the Snaffle Bit Futurity when just weeks before she was injured. After her time off Jane came back and was shown by Susan, Brooke and Katie in stock horse, cowhorse, cutting and various of open shows. At the age of 12 she suffered from several rattle snake bites, that permanently retired her from showing. Jane gave many children lessons and taught them what a good broke horse should ride like, she was the ultimate push button horse. Jane has given us several beautiful babies, two of which we have kept to carry on her spirit for HMR.

Gracie (2017) came to us as a late 4yr old from Oklahoma. We chose to add Gracie to our program becuse of our love for Holly horse. Little did we know how wonderful and special Gracie would be. She is our tiny mighty, short and STOUT sweet and loving girl. Gracie is our grab and go, do any job mare. She has not been shown yet, but her value to us as a lesson horse and ranch horse has surpassed any show earning in our eyes.
