He was racing horses down Last
Chance Gulch in 1865. He established a ranch on the
Missouri River near Canton, Montana, where he raised
his family. Ron's granddad, Guy Keene, homesteaded
southwest of Lingshire in 1914. This ranch is now
owned by Ron and Donna.
Ron and Donna began ranching full time west of White
Sulphur Springs in 1979. Due to the prolonged
drought, we sold most of our cows in 2002 and are now
managing the ranch for absentee owners. We had leased
this ranch for 22 years, and we raised our family
here.
We now have a little more time
to d
evote
to our horses, which have always been a part of our
lives. Ron still helps the neighbors trail cattle,
brand, ship and wean calves and is always training his
young horses.
We really enjoy raising good
horses and won't sell anything that we wouldn't want.
We are constantly upgrading our breeding program. We
strive for a versatile ranch horse and we are proud of
our program.
Our mares are daughters and
granddaughters of Sir Rambler, My Leroy Brown,
Secretariat, Doc's Jack Frost, Dash for Cash, Sir
Quincy Dan, Eagles Gunsmoke, Topsail Cody, Shy Ole
Man, Easter Gentleman, Major Bonanza, Simply A Spark,
Paddys Irish Whiskey, and Doc Tari. We think these
mares crossed with our Peppy San Badger and Dual Pep
grandsons result in excellent ranch horses and
performance horses.
We have horses
for sale, but we don't sell horses. We let the horses
sell themselves.
