Our Story

Over 30 years ago a ranch was founded in the Sandhills of Nebraska. Determined to maintain the western tradition and heritage of ranching, they found themselves in need of horses that could do it all. A horse that could read a cow well, go all day, and excel as an all around work horse. Horses with trendy modern show ring breeding would not suffice. 

​

This need led to countless hours of research and exploring bloodlines to find the type of horse who could be a partner and an asset to a working cowboy.

 

Old Foundation Quarter Horses has focused on breeding American Quarter Horses that maintain old foundation bloodlines; currently focusing on breeding three different foundation bloodline stallions, with no less than 98% old foundation heritage. These are horses who are easy going and laid back enough pair out calves, who can pick up the pace to cut a cow out of the herd, and have a natural aptitude for roping livestock.

 

We are passionate about preserving heritage bloodlines and hope that as you prepare to ride into the future you stop to take a look at the past.
