Wingspread Ranch in Montana

Dear Alisha,

Words can not describe the safe enjoyment we are experiencing with Elvis! You located just the right horse for our Montana Ranch Operation. Elvis is amazing with people, cows, rivers and mountains! And although I pressed you hard on Elvis’s qualities as a general ranch horse. I have to say we harvested a Bear from Elvis back this fall on a Hunt trip in Montana and Elvis never moved from position!

During the hunt trip we took Elvis into the “Bob Marshall” wilderness for 5 days. Elvis negotiated the terrain, climate and riders like a true champ. While I know no one can ever guarantee every horse is right for every rider, terrain and circumstance, I have to say, you hit it out of the park for us sending Elvis to our ranch.

Further I want to thank you for taking the time to choose the exact right tack for Elvis and the terrain in Montana. The tack worked very well. You went so beyond the call of duty for us not only in locating and training Elvis, making shipping arrangements to Montana!! All within weeks so we could get our fall hunt trip into the Montana Wilderness.

I also want to thank you for agreeing to sell us the Palomino we had asked you to ship. We respect your advise the the Palomino was not yet Montana ready and you are going to put another 6 months into her before you ship. I am so personally appreciative of your forthrightness about your horses and the individual preparation they need. As you know this summer, we had a couple of “train wrecks” on our ranch and when we went to work trying to locate some new horses that were as the old Montana cowhands say “bombproof” we just kept circling back to your families training and expertise. And while, after 50 years around horses myself, I know to many variables exist with horses, weather, rider quality, terrain, horse and people physical and emotional health. I can truly say, Elvis is as good as it gets!!!!

We look forward to working with you and Richard again in the spring on the Palomino and in the future on the next “Desiree” quarter horse. I so appreciate you taking the time to locate a “Desiree” and not just trying to sell me any horse out of your stock. I recognize this takes a lot of time and talent and few folks have the “horse eye” to get us what we need to be safe and have enjoyable experiences.

So from our family at Wingspread ranch a big thank you!

Kindest Regards.
~Tony
