Performance Horses
with a
Solid Foundation
We continue to be encouraged by the depth of versatility we're seeing in our horses.  The disciplines include ranch versatility performers, youth projects being shown in local shows and rodeos, ranching prospects, elite gelding sales, reputable breeding programs, to name a few.  Our goal to raise conformationally correct, athletic, kind, trainable horses that can excel in multiple disciplines seems to be coming to fruition and it's very gratifying. We invite you to check us out on the following pages. And feel free to chat if you have any questions!

CA Apache - Triangle Sale Jan 2026.jpg
Didn't Apache grow up pretty?? We briefly contemplated keeping him for a stallion; he probably was good enough for it, but that wasn't his calling. Currently he's solidly started as a heading horse; check out his cool video at: https://trianglehorsesales.net/consignment/?HipNumber=155

He sold at the Triangle Sale in Oklahoma City, OK on January 23rd for $24,000!

Who We Are
     Set in the picturesque rolling hills of west central Minnesota, we have been breeding, raising and training Registered Quarter Horses for over twenty years.  We are so fortunate to have a valuable heritage in that we are affiliated with the Lazy JS Ranch in Bowman, North Dakota. Nada’s father, Russ Silha, started raising Quarter Horses many years ago. In fact, the ranch hosted its 65th annual production sale on August 17, 2024, making us one of the longest running Quarter Horse production sales in the country. We do our best to follow in the family footsteps and raise horses that are structurally correct, athletic enough to go to the arena or the ranch and have trainable dispositions that most people can get along with. And, if you’ve noticed that our brand resembles the Jesus fish symbol, that’s on purpose as we strive to follow His teachings, keeping the Golden Rule at the top of our list.
If you are already a satisfied customer and have some photos you’d like to share, we’d love to showcase some of our horses in action! Please email any photos/comments to nadacarter@gmail.com. Enjoy the site and please feel free to contact us with any comments or questions. Our door is always open if you are in the area. We’d love to have you stop by!
