Meet Ruby – a stunning 2017 registered AQHA mare who is as versatile as she is beautiful. Standing 15.2 hands and just 8 years old, Ruby is in the prime of her life and ready to thrive in whatever direction you take her. Whether you’re looking for a confidence-building family horse, a reliable show partner, a steady trail companion, or a capable ranch mount—Ruby checks every box.
Ruby began her career in cutting in Weatherford, Texas, and competed in that discipline for two years before I purchased her four years ago to develop her in ranch versatility. She was born broke—quiet, sensible, and unbothered by the world. My kids, just 4 and 7 at the time, started riding her when she was only four because she was that chill.
Since then, she’s been successfully shown in a variety of events including:
🌟Cutting
🌟Ranch Riding
🌟Ranch Conformation
🌟Ranch Pleasure
🌟Ranch Rail
🌟Ranch Trail
🌟 Mechanical Cow
Ruby’s calm, willing attitude and striking red roan coat make her a standout both in and out of the show pen. Most recently, she was the first show horse for my 9-year-old daughter, patiently guiding her through numerous classes and shows. Ruby is the exact same horse away as she is at home—steady, forgiving, and confidence-inspiring. She helped my daughter build a strong foundation before moving on to reiners exclusively.
If you’re a new rider or someone working to rebuild confidence, Ruby is the kind of horse that gives back. But if you’re experienced and ready to go compete or get work done on the ranch, she’ll rise to the occasion. She’s been trail ridden extensively, used in lessons, and regularly ponies my young horses—including the reluctant ones who don’t want to cross water. She’s a strong, steady mare who’s also been used as a heel horse and to drag calves to the branding fire. Ruby can go all day.
She’s available now on HorseBid.com. Check her out!!

It’s fun to watch a dream become reality! As I watch these young ladies grow with their horses I can’t help but smile.

As we gear up for this month’s horse show I realize I forgot to share the highlights from last month! Haven and Whizkey were the all-around high point winners and Chloe was the reserve high point. Carson and Kasey had many PR’s. And Eleanor had a monumental show as she won not only one but TWO blue ribbons one for the mechanical cow class and the other in a really hard trail class against girls twice her age. So proud of this team of young ladies! And a huge shout out to @liz.parkman for literally tromping through the mud to help them all get it done!! ❤️❤️
