Dixie is smart, talented, and easy to train. The videos below show her final groundwork day (before 1st rides) and first three rides in near entirety.

She is growing up strong and is built very correctly. We have done this cross several times, and her full siblings are performance horses earning their keep in Florida, Wisconsin, and Oklahoma in Stock Horse, Roping, and Reined Cow Horse.

Dixie is being started in our colt-starting program, benefiting from Jason’s 35 years of experience and love of the RCH event. As you can see, she is a little sassy (in a good way), will be gritty, and handles everything like a pro. She has great ground manners, ties, and bathes and stands for the farrier.

She is going to be a carbon copy of her sire (Cats Royal Boon) and as fancy as they come. She is already getting white hair all through her flanks and belly.

Dixie will be a thick 14.2-14.3h at maturity with quick feet, a ton of cow, beautiful stops, & pretty circles. She will make an OPEN-LEVEL FUTURITY REINED COW HORSE in the right hands, a national-level versatility/stock horse or futurity rope horse (think tie-down/heel), and more!

I am so confident in her ability that I will pay 1/2 the entry fees for 1 show of her buyer’s choice for any OPEN LEVEL 2026 national or regional Reined Cow Horse event. Any level open (Level 1 - Open), NRCHA SBF, or any affiliate of choice, and no, you don’t have to split the winnings with me. I’ll just take 25% ;-) ~ C.J.

INCENTIVES:

More Details:

  • Raised and trained by a professional and nationally respected colt starter & RCH/VRH trainer.

  • 6 weeks of proper and riding prep style groundwork based on Jason’s 35 years and 10,000 colt starts. Used to strengthen bodies and minds for the journey in front of them. The goal is to set up a fruitful performance future with an easy-to-train, trusting, sound, talented horse.

  • See the videos below for her first three rides—they were done three days from 12/13 to 12/15. This is a modified version of an old technique Jason learned from Ray Hunt. It may look like chaos to those who don’t know the nuances of colt starting, but it is an excellent way to get them ridden in short rides, get good progress in a low-stress environment, and get them out of the round pen quicker. We use the round pen as needed, but this method is a great way to get them out and allow them to stretch their legs and move

  • She has a great set of manners and has been exposed to farm machinery, dogs, cattle/buffalo, horse walkers, etc.

  • Price is subject to change as more training is done.

  • Been on BUCKEYE Nutrition’s feed program since weaning to encourage steady skeletal and muscle growth to promote performance and longevity.

  • Always had proper foot care, timely vaccinations & deworming etc.

  • Has clean reference Radiographs from early 2024.

  • Has the mind and talent to be an Open or NP-level RCH, VRH, or any Western event. Preference is given to show homes and great training programs.

  • She is welcome to stay in our training program for as long as the new owner wishes - we offer a training discount of $250 off each month for the first six months of training as a buyer incentive.


Our unique 40-year breeding program offers buyers many benefits:

  • We are a small, hands-on operation, so we know our horses as well as anyone can. We’ve known the horses that were born here since the day they were born. Both sire and dam of this prospect live on our ranch in fact many of our broodmares were born and raised here, too. Or purchased when they were very young, then trained by Jason and had show careers before becoming broodmares. Our stallions were all purchased as youngsters, trained, and shown here. Learn more about our breeding program.

  • Our feed program was designed by an equine nutritionist, PhD. This filly has been on BUCKEYE Nutrition’s feed program all along.

  • We aren’t new to what makes a truly enjoyable performance horse. They need certain qualities and attributes, starting with trainable minds and high-level talent. Correct conformation, great bone and feet, pretty reining maneuvers, and a strong drive to work cattle are all important. We created this baseline for ourselves as breeders and work hard each year to make them even better.

  • All the horses we raise are welcome to return here to join our 35-year colt starting program. Learn more about Jason’s horse training experience.

 

Last day of Groundwork before 1st ride

1st ride - NO CUTS!! - for more info about our training methodology please read the video description on YouTube. You will see she had a little spice to her in this ride - her momma is a 2001 mare who has been our alpha for a long time. She was a little offended with all the other horses in there for a bit. But you can see the change during the video and by video three (just 2 days later) the change is extraordinary.

2nd ride - for more info about our training methodology please read the video description on YouTube.

3rd ride - for more info about our training methodology please read the video description on YouTube.

If you made it this far, thank you!

This is a 2021 7/8 sister who could have been pushed in training a bit harder and only got hauled to 3 small shows before NRCHA SBF in FTW 10/24. A week after we got home, we sold her to the first people to call us on her for our asking price. She is now in a top Texas RCH program.

Dixie will be the same size and has the same raw talent. In the right program, she can go much further.
