ABOUT US

We are Pat and Norma Conley and have raised quality quarter horses for over 35 years.  We have won numerous awards for horses competing in the Four Corners Cutting & Reining Futurity where horses are shown as a weanling halter, yearling halter, 2-year-old pleasure, and 3-year-old in either cutting or reining.  Other horses we’ve raised, have been trained and sold.  Some are winners in team penning, barrels, working cow horse, cutting, and reining as well as great ranch horses.

Our band of brood mares are direct descendants of Doc O Lena, Peppy San Badger, and Freckles Play Boy, all who are world champions.  One of our mares, Rocket Gal is an own daughter of Freckles Play Boy, who is in the Hall of Fame.  He was the 1973 NCHA open Futurity Co-Reserve Champion, 3rd NCHA Open Derby, NCHA Silver Award, and Equi-Stat #3 All-time Leading cutting sire siring the earners of over $19,000,000.  She is also an own granddaughter of Rocket Wrangler, who is a race winner.  Another one of our original mares, Perfect Cut is an own daughter of Doc O Lena and out of a daughter of Leo, who was a famous race winner.  Peppy San Badger is in the NCHA Hall of Fame and an All-time Leading cutting sire as well as NRHA all-time leading sire and a leading reined cow horse sire siring earners of over $23,000,000.

All of our mares have great minds, manners, and are good mothers who pass those characteristics on to their offspring.  If we can’t walk out in a pasture and catch a mare without grain, she doesn’t make the cut!

We are proud to have three generations contributing to the Conley Quarter Horse operation.  Pat studies the mares and stallions and can tell you their family tree without hesitation.  Norma enjoys working with the colts and is the record keeper.  Daughters, Yvonne and April have competed locally in barrels and team penning when they were in High School.  April now helps her daughter, Lauryn show a mare at the local shows and the two of them have broke and trained a three- year old gelding with Pat’s help.  Lauryn was the first to halter, saddle, bridle, and ride Freckles.

Besides the home place where the colts are born and hay is raised, the horses go to the mountain five months of the year where they learn to be horses.  The mountain range provides grasses that grow in high altitudes with lots of rocks so they learn to be sure footed at a very young age, not to mention how the rocks manicure their hooves.  You are going to want to own one of these great horses!

Most of our babies are born in April and May so when they come home from the mountain the end of October, they are ready to be weaned.  We start haltering and working with the colts over the winter and then send them back to the mountain to grow up!  This is not to say we won’t sell you a young one if you want to start them yourself!
