Welcome to the
O’Donnell Quarter Horse Ranch,
home of myself, my wife, Mary, and our children Amber
and Cody O’Donnell. Our ranch is located in the
beautiful South Boulder Canyon of Cardwell, Montana,
where we enjoy breeding, raising, and training top
quality Quarter Horses. The goal at O’Donnell Quarter
Horses is to produce performance horses that will excel
on the ranch and in the arena as well as being solid
pleasure horses. Our main focus at this point is on
building our breeding program and standing our stallions
to outside mares. Throughout the year we offer our
quality horses for sale. They’ll range from weanlings to
well started 2 and 3 year olds. We usually have several
buckskins and palominos.
Horses have always played a big role in our lives. Amber
and Cody were riding in the saddle with mom and dad,
long before they could walk. In September of 2000, we
ventured further in the horse world and bought the high
selling horse from Stan and Nancy Weaver’s 2000
Production Sale.
Weavers Doc Ima Poco, “aka Rope”, is a beautiful
1999 copper buckskin stallion with a flawless
conformation and is 91% National Foundation Quarter
Horse. This foundation breeding supplies the basis for
O’Donnell Quarter Horses source of proven pedigrees.
Rope’s pedigree is intently influenced by the legendary
quarter horses,
Poco Bueno and
Doc Bar,
which is where all of his NATURAL cow sense comes from.
In February of 2004, we purchased an impeccably speed
bred stallion,
Toro The Blurr. With the family’s increased interest
in rodeo and O-Mok-See events; Toro’s looks, size,
speed, and impressive proven pedigree provided an added
dimension to our program. Toro’s pedigree is loaded with
as many “Proven” speed horses as you’ll find anywhere.
His sire, Jet
Toro (SI 104 AAA) is by
Easy Jet (SI
100 AAA). Toro’s dam,
Credit Card Blurr (SI 89 AA) is an own daughter of
the legendary speed horse sire
MurrTheBlurr
(TB). His great grandsire on the dam’s side is the
immortal Dash
for Cash (SI 114 AAA).
At O’Donnell Quarter Horses we are very proud of our
stallions, nevertheless our program is being built
around our mares. Our belief is that if you don’t have
quality mares, you won’t have a successful program. Our
focus is on quality, not quantity. We foal six to ten
quality mares a year. We feel that solid, proven
pedigrees will take most of the guesswork out of what a
horse will or won’t do. As important as it is to breed
to a quality stallion we strongly believe that any mare
must be of equal or better quality than the stallion if
a foal is
expected to meet or exceed one’s
expectations. We believe that our broodmares measure
up to this statement. Almost all of our mares have been
proven on the ranch, the track, or in the arena. They’re
proven mares with athletic ability, good bone, correct
conformation, kind and willing dispositions, and have
purple pedigrees. These mares are daughters and grand
daughters of the great quarter horses:
Sugar Bars, Freckles
Playboy, Murrtheblurr, Jet Smooth, Gay
Bar
King, My Leroy Brown, , Frenchmans Guy, Streakin Sixes,
Streakin Six, Better Judgment, Tough Bar, Chicks Beduino,
Sir Cashanova, and Sun Frost.
We’ve
never expected to become financially wealthy raising
Quarter Horses, however we do get a wealth of
gratification raising quality horses. The friendships
that we’ve made through our horses are priceless to us.
Whether you are looking to purchase a horse, breed that
favorite mare, or just want to look at nice horses, we
always have the welcome mat out. Call or stop by
anytime. We hope to see you in 2008! Thank you for your
time and interest in our program.
God Bless,
TIM, MARY, AMBER, AND CODY O’DONNELL
