Located in Northeast Texas, we are a family-run ranch that raises Traditional Texas foundation bloodline AQHA/NFQHA quarter horses as well as border collie herding dogs.

Most of our herd we’ve raised on site from foals; some were born here as well. Our horses are bred for conformation typical of the true Foundation Quarter Horse. Equally important are concentration of select Foundation bloodlines, and even temperament. Foals come in a full range of colors – grullo, roan, buckskin, dun, black, and palomino as well as the traditional bay and sorrel. Occasionally we have older grullo, roan, and black horses for sale- be sure to ask.

Our focus includes the original Texas foundation bloodlines of Jessie James, Poco Bueno, King p-234, and Joe Hancock .

Our breeding program features stallions that are high per cent  Jessie James, King p-234, and Poco Bueno bloodlines. Our stallions usually have Jessie James, King p-234, or Poco Bueno close up in their pedigree.  Two of our grullo stallions are Jessie James or Poco Bueno bred.  We also have a grandson of Jessie James, and a great grandson of Nigger B Hancock.
In some cases, we outcross the Jessie James and Poco Bueno horses on King p 234  and Hancock to increase stature, bone, and conformation. And a lot of the time to throw in an interesting coat color.

Our mare band consists almost exclusively of
Jessie James, King p-234, Poco Bueno, or Joe Hancock bloodlines.  Most of our mares also have many King Ranch horses in their pedigree.  These include Mr. San Peppy, Macanudo, Wimpy, Hired Hand, Rey Del Peppy and Rey Del Rancho, to name a few.  All our horses, of course, feature Foundation Quarter Horse breeding.

In our experience, the original Foundation Quarter Horse is smart, agile, and easy to handle and train.

The "Steel Dust" bred foundation quarter horse carries on the cowboy tradition by being Texas tough, stout and hardy - no pampering required.


So, Why Jessie James?

The Jessie James bloodline is our particular Foundation Quarter Horse specialty for several reasons:

1-Jessie James himself was a Grand Champion at cutting, reining and halter, much like his contemporary and stablemate Poco Bueno.

2- In addition to this, however, we have found that the Jessie James-bred horse is the easiest to handle and the easiest to train of the Foundation Quarter Horses we've worked with.

3- The Jessie James horse has the original Foundation Quarter Horse bulldog build, but Jessie James himself was a full hand taller than most of his contemporaries. Which means you get the brains, hardiness, and common sense of a Foundation Quarter horse plus a taller animal.

4- At Wolter Ranch Foundation Quarter Horses, we believe that line breeding and even well-placed in-breeding can result in a superior animal. We also recognize that there are many who prefer a horse without so much line breeding. The Jessie James bloodlines traditionally have not been nearly as intensely line bred as other Foundation Quarter Horse families.



BORDER COLLIES:



border collie puppies border collie puppies

We’ve also been raising ABCA registered Border Collies for nearly a decade. Many of our border collies are from imported bloodlines, and all are large to medium dogs, with the longer, rough coat. Our Border Collies are selected as breeding stock for their herding ability, good looks, and calm (for a border collie), people-friendly disposition.

 

Border Collie puppies are available most of the time. Check our Border Collie page for available puppies.
