REMUDA

From the beginning, we focused on breeding top roping horses, to be used in rodeo and ranch work, for that to be achieved, we required to develop strength, agility, speed, and a good temperament.

Our mares are bred with stallions from the best American Quarter Horses programs in the United States of America, as well as our own ranch sires.

Main bloodlines of our sires include:

Driftwood, Hancock, Doc Bar, Sun Frost, High Brow Cat, Metallic Cat, Lena Fajita, Peppy San Badger, Tanquery Gin, Smart Chic Olena, Shining Spark and Playgun.

The mares, stallions and geldings are used in the daily tasks of the ranch in different periods to observe their performance working with the livestock and develop the necessary skills, to successfully perform ranch tasks and rodeo competitions.

They help herd and capture cattle in the different pastures of the ranch and guide them to the corrals to be vaccinated and branded.
