“We have always stressed the importance of family here at Kimes Ranch,” explains Amanda Kimes, Vice President. “Matt and I grew up showing in the equine industry and we want to give that same opportunity to athletes today.”

Too Sleepy To Zip was an orphan. A nurse mare named Ernistine Will Buck helped raise him. His barn name was given in her honor-his friends all call him Ernie!

The city that lures people from all over the world to try and “win big” has now added more incentive for All- Around Quarter Horse exhibitors to come to Las Vegas. The Silver Dollar Circuit has upped their game this year with some phenomenal new prizes and added futurity money.

The 2017 Silver Dollar Circuit is scheduled to take place February 24th-March 1st in Las Vegas at the South Point Equestrian Center. If you pre-enter by February 3rd, you will be entered into a special prize drawing for facials, steak dinners, gift baskets, and more!

“The auctions are for three strong Futurity programs: Go For The Gold Futurity, East Coast Halter Futurity and the Sierra Paint Horse Club Futurity,” says Mike Jennings of Professional Horse Services, LLC. “Many of the top Quarter Horse, Paint and Appaloosa sires are represented in these auctions.”

The first 20 pairs will be given away randomly. The next 10 pairs will be awarded to All-Around and High Point Champions.

“Don’t miss this great opportunity to breed your mare to the MOST PROMINENT stallions in the Halter Horse industry!!” says Don Falcon of the Best In The West Futurity Committee.

“We want people to be aware of how these potential changes in the climate can drastically affect their animals and their well-being.”

Southern Belle Breeders Classes are held at the All American Quarter Horse Congress, the American Quarter Horse Association World Show, and the Official American Paint Horse Association World Show. Classes are open to offspring of stallions that have SOLD in the program.
