℧ Welcome to Sundown Valley Ranch! ℧

My great great grandfather started this ranch well over a hundred years ago. He worked with the native peoples to obtain the finest appaloosa and paint horses known to man. Combined with the blood of the most remarkable mustangs and quarter horses, a new breed was created. My family and I have poured over this breed for generations. Now, we are ready to share them with the world.

Meet the breed we fondly call “The American Dream”

℧ Capture, Direct Sales, Breeding ℧

There’s something that my family believes firmly in. You don’t choose the horse - the horse chooses you. You can come to our ranch and ride out on one of our many acres. There you can go out and “capture” your own horse.

If that really isn’t your thing, not to worry! We have a stable full of mares that just came off nursing, stallions who were outcast from their herds, and horses we are nursing back from injury or illness. You can walk through the isles and see if a horse catches your eye - and your heart.

We typically allow breeding, but you'll have to check out our current availability. We have selected some of our best stallions for this process. Once you purchase a mare, you can breed her to any of our stallions, or your own.

Please help us continue our legacy and make this breed even greater!

The horse will choose you. While that rings especially true in the valley, it's just as true here in our barns! We have hundreds of stalls filled with outcast stallions, foaling mares, and horses we are nursing back from injury or illness. They are all deserving of love and I just know there's a special person out there for each of them.

	Gracie Mare Chestnut Sabino (SbSb) Here is a young lady that we've used a couple times for breeding. We love seeing that not-so-common sabino coloration! 20k
Isabelle Mare Palomino (Crcr) This lady is a seasoned broodmare! A sweet little palomino mare with some gorgous stooty and dappling! 20k
	Apple Crisp Stallion Champagne (ChCh) Not sure where this man came from. We are assuming he wondered off from the bachelor herd. One thing is for certain, you don't see this color very often! 25k
Mace Stallion Chestnut Blanket Appaloosa (LpLp) Quite a stunner! We've used him a few times here at the stable with some very fun results. SOLD

Oh yes, the most exciting part of owning your very own horses! It took a lot of convincing, but I finally got ol' grandpa to open breeding to the public. He just wants to make sure this breed maintains everything he put into creating it. If you're here, I know you're one such person who cares about this legacy!

When breeding is open, you can breed to one of the stallions we have listed below or one of your own if you own one!

Some things to keep in mind...

The flat rate for breeding is 10k for foal and an extra 15k for the adult version.

Foals are mandatory. If you do not want the adult image you do not have to pay for it. You can make that decion anytime.

There is no cap on how many times a mare or stallion can be bred.

Twins are possible but are about 1 in 10, with slightly better odds if a mare "carries that gene". It is also inhertiable.

If you do not like the foal, you can repeat the breeding at no charge and I will resell the foal. You must decide this before using the image.

You MAY breed to other people's stallions, but only with thier consent. Please post [OPEN TO PUBLIC] next to your stallion. The person with the stallion will not get anything out of this (except one of the twins if the mare produces twins). Payment still comes to me.

Occasionally there may be coat patterns never before seen in the equine world... something we are only just now discovering about this breed.
