About Us

Located 12 miles east of Halfway, Oregon, Spirit Ranch lies just inside the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, about four mountainous miles from the Idaho border.

Our first and foremost breeding goal is a noble disposition, this being the foundation of all relationships with the horse. We strive for excellent conformation, with an aptitude for classical dressage and Doma Vaquera, which is the western reining event of horsemanship in Spain.

Our healthy, happy horses are mountain-raised in a natural environment, running barefoot and free on over 300 acres of varied terrain year-round, crossing creeks and negotiating other natural barriers as a matter of daily life. They develop strong bones, lungs, hearts, and feet, in addition to a relaxed and confident attitude.

They learn to eat a wide array of grasses, forbes, herbs, and fruit, thereby consuming the minerals and vitamins they need, when they need them. They are accustomed to sharing their range with a variety of animals, both wild and domestic. We have deer, elk, coyotes, cougars, bears, along with turkeys and a wide assortment of other game birds. Our horses are also accustomed to cattle and dogs.

Spirit Ranch horses have been raised with a positive connection to humans and are open for a personal, bonding relationship. They are handled with respect for their spirit and uniqueness as individuals.

We invite you to visit any time. There is lots of free camping, fishing, and access to beautiful mountain trails. Appointments will ensure that we’re here to greet you!
