Making History...Parade On!

“I am HONORED and FLATTERED beyond words that my horse, PADDYNGTON’S MARK OF DISTINCTION, will go down in history as being selected as an official 2014 BREYER Horse Model to celebrate Breyerfest’s 25th Silver Anniversary. Marcus was specifically chosen to be a representative of not only the world’s finest model horses, but also because he is an exemplary representative of the gorgeous Pinto American Saddlebred. I want to thank everyone who helped support us and cheered us on in this AMAZING adventure. I am so PROUD that my horse will now be a timeless representative of the Pinto American Saddlebred horse, and look forward to promoting this wonderful breed and the history of the Parade Horse Division. Parade on!” – Holly & Marcus

PROVEN BARREL RACING BLOODLINES...STANDING TO THE PUBLIC IN 2014!

Both of these stallions are Own Sons of proven multi million-dollar producing barrel and racing sires. Their dams were also top barrel and race horses, proving themselves in competition. We owned and rode their dams into retirement and believe that their genetics, work ethic, attitude, heart, and conformation are prominent in both of these stallions.

Windridge Farm - This delightfully updated home boasts 3000 sq. ft. with 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a 60x80 stable along with a 60x120 enclosed riding arena. In the stable you’ll find 4 - 12x18 stalls with room to add 4 to 6 more. Stalls offer run outs for the horses

to several large pastures. There is also a wash room area along with a separate tack/lounge room. Riding arena floor was professionally installed to USDF standards. Stable and riding arena also features separate utilities from the home, including a well.

Harrietta Hills - Nice rolling 75 acres, includes 1920’s farmhouse that has a newer addition, a 30x50 barn with silo, both in good condition, garage and chicken coop. Barn has run out area for horses or livestock, and plenty of storage for feed. Property close to house has

fenced pastures and acreage for planting crops. The back 40 features trails cut throughout the rolling hillside for riding, hiking & enjoying nature when you’re not hunting. Located close to numerous rivers, lakes, ski area, snowmobiling and golf course, so you’ll never run out of things to do!

John’s Pond - Updated farmhouse has all the charm and character intact and sits on a hilltop with 30 acres of prime hunting ground around it. There is a fireplace in the living room and another in the family room to keep you nice and toasty in the

open floor plan main level. Property features a nice rolling terrain and two creeks that run through it, along with a small pond to attract the deer, grouse, turkey and other wildlife. Pole barn has heated workshop area and plenty of covered storage. Excellent setup for your year round residence, or

that weekend retreat.

Gringrich Ranch - Here is the ideal spot for your recreation and future dreams on this vacant 320 acre parcel. The property has a vast variety of terrain that includes nice level areas, rolling hills, some ravines, an old gravel pit, and a nice two track that loops around the entire parcel with many trails that take off

from it. There are thousands of acres of State Forest that lie along the West and South property lines. Property has been in the same family since the 1930’s, but it’s time for others to enjoy it.
