About Us

We moved here to Cooper Texas from Northern Michigan in the spring of 1995. And after some readjusting to the climate and the fact that Texas only has two seasons, summer and winter we have settled in quite nicely.

Cooper only has about 2300 people in it and not much else besides a Dairy Queen and a few banks but the location of where it is at is centrally located to many of the better horse sales.

Both of us were raised in and around horses and the horse business and did our fare share of rodeos and horse shows. We have traveled up and down the road going to many horse sales, weather they were big or small. And we have both rode enough sale barn horses to know when you are on a good one or not.

Dave has his auctioneer's license and has been selling horse sales in Michigan, Georgia, Florida and Texas since he was a young man. He has had a chance to see and sell some extremely nice horses and understand what horse sells better in what part of the country. And when you live and hour from many of the best horses in the country you need to make sure yours look good. That is why we strive to buy and sell only horses that will be able to be great performers and have a strong pedigree, good bone along with conformation, looks and COLOR!

In today's market when everywhere you look there is someone trying to sell horses, you need to be at the top of the game. And in order to do that we have worked hard to put together a feed and care program for each individual horse. We only feed alfalfa hay with a mixture of sweet feed, crimped oats, and pellets. Every horse gets turned out into a 72 ft covered round pen and worked. And when they are just relaxing in their stalls we slide their doors open and let them go back and forth between the stall and paddock. This helps keep a young horse's mind fresh and allows them to play a little bit in between the paddocks. We have found that when you keep a horse's mind fresh then they will be a lot easier to deal with and have a good appetite. No matter how a horse is bred it is very important to give them a good start in life. And if you give them a good start with the feed and teach them all the fundamentals they need then the customer buying the horse from you is always happy.

Both of us enjoy working with horses and going to the sales and meeting new people and seeing all the old friends we have meet through the sales. We have a lot of fun doing this and hope to be able to only get better with each year. We invite you to take a look at our horses we have for sale and hope you enjoy your visit.
