Press Release Body = As Texas horse
ranch breeders, Diamond Cross Ranch (DCR)
provides horses that are bred for heavy bone and muscle, conformation and
durability, athletic and versatile and lovable and a true blue roan.
Diamond Cross Quarter Ranch is located in the hills with plenty of rock, canyons and
water. This is how they develop the Foundation Quarter horse that has plenty of bone
and good hard feet; so that the horses last all day. Most horse breeding comes from
their Joe Hancock stallion and their Blue Valentine blood line on the Texas ranch.
Texas colts are raised in the pasture with their mothers and stay under the eyes of
the complete herd. The leader of the Texas Colts, Hancock Blue Leo is a gentle sire
that lives, year round, with the herd and is never separated unless he is being used
in competition or daily ranch work. The Texas Colts is the heart of the breeding
program.
The Texas mares are the back bone at the Diamond Cross Ranch, like any other good
ranch with Texas Mares. The Mares have all of the great qualities we expect and are
passing them on to their babies. The foals are imprinted at birth and are handled
daily. Being able to produce the blue and red roans, duns, and black quarter horses
for sale is just an added benefit of breeding the great bloodlines of these
athletes.
Diamond Cross Ranch is designed for pasture breeding but if you prefer to select
breed like a Blue Roan Horse or a Red Roan - Diamond Cross Ranch has a very small
breeding pasture to keep the visiting mare separate from the regular herd. All of
our mare breeding is chosen by pedigree and conformation.
Line mare breeding is the main part of the successful mare breeding program and one
of the main reasons Diamond Cross horses are often sold before they are even born.
Two well-known Texas horse breeders have been very successful in their efforts-H.J.
Wiescamp and the King Ranch. Hank Wiescamp used line breeding with his Quarter Horse
and Appaloosa breeding programs. The King Ranch used line breeding to establish
their family of Quarter Horses through the foundation sire Old Sorrel.
Diamond Cross Ranch has recently launched a new website where horse lovers can find
information on horses for sale at the sale barn and photos of select horses. For
