About

Our family is a fourth generation ranching family that has bred and trained horses for over 70 years. In the 1980s Rock owned the two-time Reserve World Champion Paint Running Horse "Go Tuffy Go". While doing horsemanship clinics across the United States, Rock met Danita who was training barrel horses for Spencer Quarter Horses in Tryon, Oklahoma. Danita was rodeoing in the WPRA and after their marriage in 1982, Rock and Danita started breeding and training horses.

Bailee graduated from the University of Montana – Western in Dillon, MT, in 2010 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration and a minor in Small Business Management. She moved back closer to home to Bowman, ND, to start a job as a loan officer for Farm Credit Services. She and fiancée, Parker Murnion, who is from Jordan, MT, are planning an October 9th, 2010 wedding.

Pat completed his first year of college in Sheridan, WY, this spring.
He is majoring in Animal Science and Livestock Reproduction. He is home for the summer with his hands full riding colts!
