By: Brittany Bevis

Billy and Suzonne Franks are excited to welcome trainers, Kelley Stone and Adam Wainscott, to their Cisco, Texas based facility, Three Nails Ranch. The Franks are active APHA and AQHA breeders and exhibitors and the owners of celebrated stallions such as Ecredible, Kid Coolsified, and Intensions, which are standing at Rick Leek Quarter Horses, and Show Stoppah and The Home Run Kid, which are standing at Three Nails Ranch.

“We’re super excited about Kelley and Adam coming on board and heading up our program,” Suzonne says. “Kelley will continue to have her customers, and we will accept new ones too, as space permits. Adam will continue with his riding customers as well and assist with the day-to-day operations on the ranch.”

“Kelley and Adam are a good fit for us because they’re simply great people. Both of them will bring a wealth of knowledge, talent, and energy!”

Both Kelley and Adam are excited to join the team. “Adam and I are absolutely thrilled to join the Three Nails Ranch team,” Kelley says. “We will be bringing our current Covenant Show Horse business, our clients, and our team into Three Nails Ranch to provide top level training, breeding, and sales, all out of one extraordinary facility. Billy and Suzonne are industry leaders, and we’re thrilled with the opportunity to take the ranch even further. We will continue to focus on great show horses in both APHA and AQHA events and will continue with furthering an excellent breeding program as well.”

In addition to Kelley and Adam, other staff at Three Nails Ranch includes Kaylea Cant, who heads up the Breeding and Mare Management Program, embryo transfers, and foal management; Hebert Gallegos, who oversees the Show Barn and daily management of work around the horse barns; and Heather Schoenborn, who manages social media accounts, online sales, and management updates.

Moving forward into 2019 and beyond, Suzonne and Billy want to maintain their focus on breeding Champion Halter horses that can be shown by handlers of all ages and experience levels. In fact, the Franks’ grandchildren, Nathan and Erin, are APHA World and Reserve World Champions and AQHA Reserve Champions and Top 10 finishers.

“Billy and I love Halter Horses, and we enjoy being able to breed and have great quality babies,” Suzonne says. “We enjoy watching others have success with a foal that we bred and that came from our ranch.”

If you’d like to visit Three Nails Ranch to tour their horse operation, an Open House is coming up on May 18th, so mark your calendar. “We invite everyone to come and visit us whenever you’re in the area!”
