Decco Ranch Foals
Our Foals Are People Raised

Four foals tied and standing quietly

We handle our foals from the time they are born. They are people raised, and become a part of our lives. All of our foals are broke to lead with a neck rope, which teaches them to give to the rope any time they feel pressure. This lesson stays with them forever, which is why it is so easy to tie them anywhere. It also encourages them to look and listen to people for comfort, which in turn develops the people/horse bonding, and makes them willing recipients during ground training and breaking to ride.

His name is Jolly Yo Cat, and he is currently with Tim Smith for cutting training.

2002 Foals:

A foal is scratching herself    Two 2002 colts with their dams.    Cyrenea is working with this grulla colt on lead training.   

We had 6 foals born this year (2002). One was sold with his dam shortly after birth (immediately above, solid sorrel colt in middle photo). The other five are available for sale. Four of the five foals are shown tied above as they wait patiently for me to untie them. The last born foal is pictured immediately below (far left, light bay tobiano filly, full side view). As you enter the foal field, prepare to be pestered by foals. They follow us everywhere and demand attention. They want to stand next to us, be touched, and touch us in return.

'Starburst' - filly by Bo Sox Red b. 5/27/02   Sorrel Tobiano Colt & Bay Tobiano Filly b. March/April 2002   Grulla Tobiano Colt & Bay Tobiano Filly born March/April 2002.

Pictures below are of pre-2002 foals. Some are still available in Horses for Sale. We want you to see every-day type photos showing some of the interaction with the foals or cute foal pictures. Unfortunately, I have not yet taken photos of Bill lifting up young foals in his arms. He also routinely throws the ends of ropes over their backs to get them used to movement on and over them.
