Mares. . . more than horses,
they are the legacies
Some of the most sought-after genetics in the industry. Paddys Irish Whiskey, Metallic Cat, Dual Rey, Smart Lil Ricochet, Blue Valentine, Hancock and Docs Hickory. The kind of horses you can ride on the ranch and compete in the performance arena. Smart, athletic, and versatile, making them ideal for ranch versatility, roping, cowhorse, or any program looking to add proven performance genetics.
At Nitehawk Ranch, our mares aren’t just bred — they’re selected with purpose. We look for deep-bay cow sense, sturdy bone, and built-in endurance, combined with trainability and agility for long, hard days on the range. Every mare must carry the strength to sort cattle, the soundness to travel miles, and the heart to quiet the herd. We develop performance-grade horses raised for real ranch work: where tough evolves into graceful, and grit becomes legacy.
