All 'completely finished' ranch horses have been sold. While Pete was fighting Lymphoma, the young horses he was so proud of, got older. NOW, Fall, 2024, they are in very competent hands -- being started and ridden 'the slow and easy - never get a chance to buck' way Wolfe Ranch has used for 40+ years. IT WORKS!!
This 2021 Dun Gelding is about the best broke young horse you will ever find. He is sired by a part Percheron stallion out of a Driftwood bred quarter horse mare, so he is 1/4 Percheron. He has great bone and really good feet (wears a #2 shoe). He is a 'people horse' that is the same every time you ride him. He has been used to do everything a horse can do here at the ranch, He has guided many trail rides, drug around feed when the mud was too deep (after an 8 inch+ rain), pulls hard off of the horn and lets you do anything you want to do. You can crack a whip off of him and rope off of him. He has very good gaits and is really easy to get along with. He is guaranteed 100% healthy and sound. Call for his price as his training is ongoing.
I couldn't count the number of 5 and 6 year old children that have been led off of him on trail rides.

Dunny thinks about anything is OK. His rider is cracking a whip off of him and you can see that Dunny is so worried about it, he is resting a hind leg. He is a very kind and forgiving horse. He has the Draft sturdiness and easy going disposition and the Quarter Horse ability. He is truly the 'best of both worlds'.
Dunny has excellent manners. He stands good for shoeing, ties anywhere, bathes, saddles, stands for mounting (and does not move until you tell him to).
He is this young man's 'go to' horse for everything. If I don't sell him pretty quickly, I won't have any other really broke, broke, BROKE horses on the place.

Dunny has a nice head, a very clean neck for a draft cross. His shoulder is laid back, he has exceptional withers, a good, deep heartgirth, a short, strong back and strong hind quarters. He has perfectly straight, clean legs and excellent feet.

This beautiful dark brown mare is out of Lefty, our best daughter of 'Call Him The Flash', our home-bred stallion that had AQHA reining points, would work a cow and would get you in position to rope either end of a steer. He was a true 'all around horse' as was Lefty. She is athletic, willing and able to do anything you want to do on a ranch or in the show ring. She is a beautiful mover. She is handy and uses her hind quarters. She moves her shoulders like a good Quarter Horse. But, she has the great bone and feet and the non-reactive, quiet nature of her wonderful draft daddy, TINY. She could be your next big, stout ranch horse, your next great field hunter or your quiet, safe trail horse. She is very dark in summer and more bay when she has her winter coat (like below).
She has been ridden in the Arbuckle Mountains since her 3rd or 4th ride. She has been ridden along the US Highway that goes past the ranch, so I would have to say she is 'Traffic Safe'! She will ride by herself or with other horses. You can lead horses off of her. She is ready to start working and handling cattle. She rides like she is 8 or 10 instead of 4 years old. Like all of our horses, you catch her, saddle her, get on and ride. [If you have to lounge one or chase it around a pen before you can ride it, it is NOT BROKE/TRAINED!!!] This young mare has never offered to buck. We take an extra month (or 2 or 3, if necessary) to get a horse comfortable with a saddle and a rider. We NEVER let a horse buck - EVER.
She is absolutely correct. She is guaranteed 100% sound and healthy. She has excellent bone, good feet and withers. She has great manners. She stands quietly for mounting, ties, loads, hauls, bathes, stands for shoeing, etc. She loves people and is easy to catch and handle any way you want to handle her. She is ready for a new Zip Code. She will continue to be ridden and further trained and priced accordingly. She's beautiful and ready to be someone's next great saddle horse for the ranch or the trail.
I will post a video of her as soon as I get one. I will post it to our YouTube Channel wolferanchhorses5273
Currently priced at $11,000.00 (Will change with more training)

Link to the video of this gorgeous mare.
Classy is an absolutely gorgeous big gray mare. Classy is an AQHA Registered 2012 model, a 12 year old mare. She has never been bred. She is sired by our late, great sire, Call Him The Flash. Her dam was one of our last daughters of Clasical Silver, one of the best cowhorse sires in the country. She is a sound, solid Foundation bred mare.
She is very well-trained. She has been a 'serious' trail horse all of her life. She was raised here and origionally trained here on the ranch. She was purchased by some wonderful people from San Francisco who will be life-long friends. She was the gentleman's horse. He underwent surgery that no longer allows him to ride. They sent her back here so we could find her a suitable, wonderful forever home. SOLD
Besides being beautiful, with great conformation, she has a great personality. She meets you at the gate, stands quietly to be haltered and goes with you to be brushed, bathed, shod, whatever; she loads, hauls, and does anything you ask her to do on the ground.
Classy is a very forward mare when you ride her. She is ambitious; she covers a lot of ground. She is very gentle and easy to handle. She is not 'chargy' or silly; she just walks fast and covers a lot of ground. She just has way more 'go' than 'whoa'. This makes her more suitable for an intermediate to experienced rider. She is really not suitable for a beginner rider or an insecure rider. They need a horse with more 'whoa' than 'go'. She rides alone or in a big group of riders. She rides like a gelding when you ride her. You can lead horses off of her; horses can come up on her from behind and she still has good manners. She has never offered to buck... even when she is fresh and has not been ridden in a long time.
Classy has great manners, including standing perfectly still to mount and dismount. She guides easily at a walk, jog and lope. She stops, stands, and lets you do anything you want to while in the saddle. She will go anywhere you point her head. She would make a great ranch horse. She would love to have a daily job to go to. She would work her heart out for you.
Classy is guaranteed 100% sound and healthy. She has never been sick or lame a day in her life. She stands 15.2, weighs anywhere from 1100# to 1250# when she is in working shape or just standing around getting fat. She has good bone and feet. She has geat withers, holds a saddle well and has a very deep heartgirth. She shows her foundation breeding. She is a strong horse; She can carry a big rider all day, every day. SOLD!
Betty is Sired by Tiny (Registered Black Percheron). We believe that she is a 'smokey black' filly as she was foaled grulla color out of an exceptionally nice palomino mare. A genetic hair test would tell if she has a 'dilute' gene and would breed like she was a palomino, like her dam. She is absolutely gorgeous and an athletic, beautiful mover. She has more athletic ability than most Quarter Horses
Her dam was an exceptional AQHA Palomino Mare that was a granddaughter of Zan Parr Bar and a Colonel Freckles/ Doc Bar bred cutting/ reining/ roping horse stallion. This is not your ordinary draft cross horse. These horses have class and athletic ability and NO high maintenance feathers...They are CLEAN LEGGED and PRETTY HEADED.
Betty has been sold to a gentleman and his wife in Pennselvania.
Betty has been ridden many miles in the pasture and in the mountains. She has not had any arena riding. She is gentle natured as well as athletic. Like all of the rest of these crosses, she has never offered to buck. I think she is one of the very best draft/AQHA crossbreds we have raised. She will make a super ranch/ stock horse! She is just not your average kind of draft cross.
She is a little thin in these old photos but is much heavier now. She is really beautiful. She combines the best qualities of both worlds -- she has the strength, bone, feet and laid back unreactive attitude of the Percheron with the looks and athletic ability of the working Quarter Horse cowhorse.
Check out these unrehearsed and unedited recent videos. This is how she rides ALL of the time. The video of her running loose in the round pen show her athleticism. She is never in the wrong leed, can hange a lead and al ALWAYS stops and turns on her hind end. She handles herself better than most registered Quarter Horses but has the nonreactive, agreeable nature of her Percheron sire. These are posted to our YouTube channel wolferanchhorses5374

***********************************************
Big Bertha is a big, strong, very thick, true Buckskin mare that is ready for any rider that knows how to ride at all. She stands about 15.2 and weighs about 1300#. She is still filling out and will eventually weigh about 1400#.
She is sired by TINY, our beautiful black Registered Percheron stallion. Her dam is a Registered APHA Pearlino mare that has Hollywood DunIt and Doc's Sug on her papers. Her dam's sire was a son of Dun It With A Twist, earner of over $100,000.00 cutting. This is not your average draft cross horse.
She has excellent conformation with great feet & bone, good withers, color and 'class'.
She is very, very gentle, non reactive or spooky and is the same every day. She has never offered to buck a single time, whether you ride her often or seldom.
Anyone that can ride at all can take her anywhere you point her head. You can drag things, carry anything or do about anything on her. She has excellent manners, loads, ties, hauls, bathes, shoes, everything you expect in a well-trained horse. She is ready to start working and handling cattle. She has already been used to gather them in big, rough pastures. She is traffic broke in any kind of traffic.
She is ready to go to a ranch home or to a recreational trail rider. She has plenty of 'go' but is definitely not 'hot'. She is guaranteed absolutely 100% sound and healthy. She will continue being trained and ridden until she is sold. SOLD.
Shadow is a big, stout (mostly Hancock and King bred) black mare that is very gentle, well broke, and guaranteed in foal to TINY. She is absolutely 100% sound and healthy. She is gentle, easy to get along with and easy to breed. She will foal in the spring of 2024. She was ridden in a feed-yard prior to being brought here to be bred to TINY.
Shadow stands 15.3 and has excellent bone and feet. This is a big, strong mare.
Her owner sent her to be bred and then had to suddenly move with their job and could not keep her. We have had her here now for over a year. Her registration papers and transfer are in order.
Either the ranch-broke mare or the foal is free.
Shadow has absolutely sound, straight legs, excellent bone and very good feet.
Her foal will be worth more than her asking price the day it is born.
Shadow is very reasonably priced -- SOLD!
Here are her papers.
SIRE: Sandunit Two Peppy. His sire is a an own son of Dun It With A Twist. His Dam is a Doc's Sug mare.
Dam: Classy Good Girl. She is one of the last daughters in the United States of our old Classical Silver stallion that sired some of the best ranch and cow horses in the country. There was not a one that did not work a cow -- some from the very first time they saw one.
CLASSY PEPPY TWO is a 'finished' cowhorse.
He was ridden and trained by Casey Branquinho, well known California rodeo hand and trainer. He is making a really neat break-away horse and heeling horse. He has been sold, but we have his buckskin full brother here at Wolfe Ranch and he is for sale. SOLD
SIRE: Call Him The Flash. His dam is a good daughter of Classical Silver, our beloved old ranch stallion. Blondy is a gorgeous light chestnut with a flaxen mane and tail, standing 15.1 hands, and weighing 1200#. He is very stout, quick footed and FAST.
BLONDY is a 14 year old gelding that was bred and raised here on the ranch. We have used him for everything from a pony-horse to a 'go-to' horse when we have ranch work to do. He is 100% sound, very good boned and good footed and a very useful 'ride'. He is absolutely beautiful. He is smooth gaited and easy going but darned sure not a 'dead-head'. He is probably one of the fastest horses on the ranch. He is a 'rock solid' trail horse with a lot of endurance and can be ridden hard all day, every day. He is another horse that should have been finished and shown.
While Blondy is an excellent trail horse and ranch horse, he is probably more horse than a novice rider needs. He is gentle and very well mannered. He does absolutely everything he is asked to do. He is just more horse than a beginner or a small child needs to start out on. Everyone here just loves to ride him, but we have many young horses coming up that need the riding more than he does. We are offering him for sale to someone that wants to be very well mounted. He is guaranteed sound. He has excellent feet. He is a $25,000 in today's market SOLD - now in California
Sox was foaled here on the ranch as was his mother and grandmother. He is sired by our ranch stallion, Call Him The Flash. His dam is Gunners Babe, a granddaughter of Playgun out of Bay Elegance, OK State Champion Working Cowhorse, that we also raised. She was the last daughter of Doty's Socks Jr, our AQHA Champion stallion with points in 10 events and an NCHA Certificate of Ability. He comes by his great 'all-around' ability honestly. He comes from a long line of great all-around horses.
Sox is 15.3 and weighs 1300# when he is fat. [He does not look that big on the current photos, but the Vaquero riding him is a very big man.] He is 100% sound and is completely gentle for anyone to ride every day or once a month. He is never 'cold backed' and always willing to do whatever you want him to do.
Sox has been ridden literally thousands of hours on huge ranches. He has been ridden very little in an arena. These photos were taken one of the first times he was ridden in one. He has tracked cattle a couple of times, but is not a finished team roping horse. He is, however, a great prospect for the arena. He has exceptional speed and never gets outrun by a rank cow in the pasture.
This gelding was ridden here on the ranch for several years. He was so outstanding that we felt he deserved to be finished like we could no longer do. [Getting old is not all it's cracked up to be. It just beats the alternative.] Last winter we sent him to California to be ridden by one of the most respected Vaquero horsemen on the West Coast, Jeremy Pinheiro. Sox spent the last several months gathering, sorting and doctoring cattle in huge pastures, dragging calves to the fire, loading big, rank cattle in a trailer (with no help), doing everything a horse can be asked to do on a big ranch. He rides very well one-handed 'in the bridle' and has an excellent 'handle'. He is 'gun broke' and has been shot off of and around. There is no job on the ranch that he is not willing and able to do. He is one of the best looking geldings we have ever raised and could go to the AQHA Ranch Versatility division or the Stock Horse Shows. On the ranch, he will handle slow and carefully on a loose rein or run full speed when he needs to. He handle big, rank cattle and rodeo stock just as easily. He pulls HARD from the horn. He is perfect for all types of ranch use. He will handle cattle slow and easy, or and fast and hard as he needs to.
Sox is the perfect mount for a 'gentleman rancher' that is safe for the family or for guests. He is absolutely gentle and sound with no bad habits. He has never tried to buck, rear or run off, even after several months of being turned out. He is probably one of the world's best trail horses and is a great prospect for someone to take to trail challenges. He has never been sick or injured and sells 100% sound and healthy. This is one very classy gelding that will turn heads anywhere you take him.
oSox is still living in California with Jeremy and can be ridden out there. He is a REAL ranch horse. He will do this kind of work all day, every day with a lot of endurance and willingness. He has been trained on a huge ranch, not in a show trainer's barn. He is not show trained, but is so solid it would take very little to turn him into a top Ranch Versatility competitor. He can easily be shipped anywhere in the Country. He is priced to sell quickly. SOLD
