We'd like to welcome you to our
web site and tell you a little bit about ourselves. We're Duane
and Dottie Packard and our place is located about an hour north of
Cheyenne, Wyoming and 30 minutes west of Scottsbluff, Nebraska.
We buy and sell
Quarter Horses and Paints - mostly geldings, but also a few mares now
and
then. We also advertise horses for our friends and
neighbors.
Our goal is to produce a
sound, sensible horse that you can use and
enjoy, no matter what you want to do - whether it's pleasure riding,
trail, ranch work and roping or arena events. We like good boned,
straight-legged horses with a quiet disposition and good mind that can
do a day's work and be a pleasure to ride. We make sure our
horses have a nice handle and will go where you ask them to without a
fuss - whether it's through a creek, over a log or just down the hill.
We start our young horses
with a lot of round pen and ground work, then
spend lots of time outside with them, letting them learn to travel and
handle their feet. We believe in getting a colt outside of the
arena as soon as possible in order to let them travel freely. We
try to expose them to as many different situations as possible so they
can handle what ever you might throw at them - this includes riding
them at roping practices and brandings, gathering cattle for friends
and neighbors
and even pushing cattle at the sale barn during the busy times.
Our older horses that are
ready to start roping get plenty of time on
cattle, tracking and teaching position and rate, then as much time
scoring cattle as they need to be quiet and alert in the box. We
also do a lot of pasture riding outside to keep them fresh and
relaxed. The end result is a quiet, solid, well-broke horse that
you can really use and enjoy.
