Son Of Hickory- Bay stallion-1983 stallion- age 25 and still living

     Hickory was a great stallion with really nice eye appeal and disposition. Docs Hickory was one of the highest producing siring sons of Doc Bar. We really like the Croton Oil added in his pedigree. He sired colts that were big time achievers in the cutting pen, working cow, reining, roping, and barrel racing. He was super fast and athletic him self. When you put a saddle on him he turned into a gelding. He knew the difference. We have sold half interest in him to Jack Clark in Pa. We continued to ship him back and forth for several years till we thought it was getting too hard of him. I wish I had lots of his daughters, but we just have one left. They are good minded, sensible colts that carry their head naturally low. The mare we have is Docs Oceanside Dream. She is a great producer. This might be one of our favorite mares. She has had several high selling colts for us. 

TAYLOR JESS TIVIO- 16 YEAR OLD BUCKSKIN STALLION

     Tivio is a cute little buckskin grandson of Poco Tivio that has a million dollar disposition. He has 3 of the greatest old time horses in his pedigree. They are Poco Tivio, Sugar Bars and Jessie James. We sold Tivio in our last production sale for $29,000 to Bob Rodewald, Montana. That was one of the hardest decision we have made. Drought conditions made the decision for us. We have retained breeding rights to him. We really thought a lot of him and still do. We kept a lot of his daughters and rode a lot of his get to many wins for us and  our customers. They have been used in the reining, working cow horse, ranch horse competitions, calf roping , team roping and halter. Talk about a little horse with a big heart. Tivio had a running walk and passed that on. Take a look at the winner’s page and our broodmares and you will see why we liked him.

     Poco Tivio was an AQHA Champion. He placed 5^th as a world champion cutting horse in 1951 and 1952. Sugar Bars ran AAA and was a leading grandsire of 30 AQHA champions, #21 in lifetime paternal grandsires in the cutting. Matlock Rose-famous cutting horse trainer called Jessie James one of the greatest cow horses he has ever ridden. These are some famous horses and foundation bloodlines, an out cross for anything.

     Tivio has always been very consistent in siring big hipped, straight-legged colts that are classy and people friendly. It does not stop here. They can step up and do any event and are pretty doing it. The best thing about his colts is their mind. They have ambition to do their job, but are never pulling on you. Whether you use them on the ranch or in the arena, they will just work. One of Chucks all time favorite geldings to ride was by Tivio.

CM NONSTOP CHARLIE - 2003 SORREL- NOW GELDED  

     Really pretty eye and head, long neck, short back and long underline. He has a kind and willing disposition and never is cold backed. He is so fast. I get excited thinking about it. He is the smoothest riding horse I have ever ridden. And when you ride a lot of miles out here, that really counts. He sired some great looking colts for us. We have a few yearlings and twos for sale. Check them out if you want a good one. It was a tough decision to cut him. I had two sons of Bubba I had kept and only need one stud. I may regret cutting him later, but I think he rides better for me as a gelding and I really want to show him and make him a rodeo horse. And as you all know hauling a stud isn’t always fun. Nonstop Bubblin (Refer to his Page) his sire was phenomenal to haul. I couldn’t have asked for anything more, but he was an exception. Charlie is out of San Crystalita, a Sak Em San Daughter, she was one of our all time greats. Sak Em San was the sire of Super San Wood, AQHA, Bull Dogging horse of the year for Todd Suhn. And they made a lot of really great rodeo horses in this country. This bloodline is blue chip property. You will find Peppy San and Orphan Drift, two all time major rodeo pedigrees today, let alone what they have done individually. In Charlie’s pedigree, you will find those blood lines crossed with the Nonstop Jet and that just added a lot more speed to what you just had-cow, rate and athletic ability. You won’t find many for sale and if they are, you will pay for them.

Beckwith Dun

Beckwith Dun- 1973 DUN STALLION 15.1 -1200 LBS-DECEASED            .

     Beckwith Dun was a foundation old time bred stud. The Crago’s are well known for this bloodline. He sired horses with substance, bone, withers and good muscle. They made good ranch horses that went on to make good rope, penning, and ranch horse competitors. They have lots of natural cow. Chuck says probably the best thing about Beckwiths was the maternal side. They are mares that you could cross with anything, and they are hardy mares that breed well, and are good mothers that milk. They always have an eye-catching colt. The Beckwith mares have been a great out cross for us. Breeding them to our studs have just made them more athletic, crossing some modern to foundation using horse bloodlines with those mares to make their colts more appealing.
