Welcome to J Bar F Performance Horses!
We are a small breeding operation located outside
of Townsend, Montana, and feature both Paint and Quarter
Horse mares.
We’ve always been around horses and this lifelong love
of horses is what has provided the basis for this
program.
Starting out using horses for ranch and recreational
riding, Jan’s venture into 4-H growing up led to
expanding our horizons.
The more we were around the performance horse
world, the more we realized there was to explore.
Jan’s participation in 4-H, Quarter Horse shows,
open shows, and some barrel racing events through the
80’s has refined into a program focusing on reined
cowhorse and reining prospects.
Watching snaffle bit futurities and cowhorse and
reining shows in the 80’s sparked an interest of those
events that burns just as brightly today.
We enjoy memberships in many associations including the
American Quarter Horse Association, American Paint Horse
Association, National Reined Cowhorse Association,
Montana Reined Cowhorse Association, and the Rocky
Mountain Breeders Association.
We’ve made many friends throughout the horse
world and feel blessed to have made such lasting
friendships. It
is not just about the quality of horses and the
enjoyment of the show world, it is about the people you
meet.
Our horses have the bloodlines of Dual Pep, King Fritz,
Dry Doc, Shining Spark, Smart Little Lena, Hollywood Dun
It, Peppy San Badger, Otoe, Docs Remedy, Sugar Bars, and
Mr. Gunsmoke among others.
The majority of our horses are sired by stallions
that are World Champions, leading Equistat sires, or
event performers themselves.
While you will see quite a bit of color in our
pastures with buckskins, palominos, bays, and chestnuts,
our program does not focus on producing color.
Our philosophy is that color is never a
substitute for quality, it is merely icing on the cake.
Despite being a smaller program with a smaller number of
horses performing in the show pen, we’re proud of our
horses’ accomplishments.
Although many of our horses have been shown, the
first horse we promoted with a trainer was
Oncebitten Twice Dry in the hackamore classes of the Montana Reined
Cowhorse circuit.
We then moved forward into the snaffle bit
futurities and derbies with
Sparks Honey Dunnit. The
2007 show season saw our stallion,
Tangy Doodle
Dually, follow the same cowhorse circuit with a
strong finish as the Montana Reined Cowhorse Futurity
Stallion Stakes $5K Ltd Reserve Champion.
This nice young stallion remained in training for
the 2008 show circuit until his death on October 6,
2008. We
still have many nice horses slated for training and
showing and continue to breed for the best quality.

Because we believe in the quality of the horses our
program is producing, we are not only making the
investment to promote horses with a trainer, but we also
show our own horses as our schedule permits.
Other riders are also showing and winning on J
Bar F horses, including the 2007 MRCHF Open Two-Rein
Champion Sugars
Mr. Sparkle.
To date we’ve sold horses to buyers as far away as
New York
and had visitors from as far away as Egypt.
We recognize the hard work and dedication it
takes to do well in any equine discipline and applaud
horse owners across the world for their achievements.
No matter what your interest or your favorite
breed, what brings us together is the love of a good
horse. We
welcome visitors from near and far.
We’ve dared to dream and we’d like to help you recognize
your dreams!
