February 2010~ Still winter time in Minnesota |
| Welcome~ Our breeding program focuses on raising reining and performance bred quarter horses with disposition, conformation, versatility and performance ability. In the past we have focused on foundation bloodlines that founded the cutting, reining and reined cow horse world, now we are working to move our breeding program focus to reining and reined cow horses while trying to add the bonus of color! We often have duns, grullas, and other dilute colors! While we did enjoy a brief year of co-owning and showing Spun It N Dun It, a Hollywood Dun It son, we have chosen not to be involved with showing at this time. However, we believe our horses have the potential and breeding to make them excellent performance prospects. We are working hard to build up our breeding program and working to move our focus towards reining/reined cow horse. We are adding broodmare's and prospects with strong, proven performance and reining bloodlines to our breeding program. Along with building our broodmare band, we are also going to be focusing on breeding to top performance bred stallions to produce the quality performance prospect the client is looking for. We strive to produce quality prospects that given the opportunity will do well in the performance arena and prove themselves no matter which direction the client chooses to take them! So please check out our program and horses and please continue to check back with us for updates and pictures as we continue to grow and develop our program!! Thank you for visiting!

~White Christmas~ so much fun! Trinity likes helping out and enjoys the snow. |
| Well we said exciting things were going to keep happening here at Dream Catcher Quarter Horses!! Here she is my dream come true. A Smart Chex, daughter of Nu Chex To Cash, NRHA Million Dollar sire and NRHA Hall of Fame inductee ( 2010) . Thank you to the Moore's for their faith and trust in us. We are very thankful and blessed to have been given this opportunity. Cash out of a good show mare Smart Nancy Chex. This filly is a prime example of Hilldale Farms top notch breeding program. One I have followed closely and admired for a long time. We are honored to have added this beautiful mare to our line up! This filly has many paternal siblings showing and winning. Even though she will not be shown, I am confident in the outstanding prospects she will produce. Watch for updates coming soon. ***We are very excited to announce that A Smart Chex~ "Smarty" will be bred to Spooks Gotta Gun for a 2011 foal.*** This cross should produce an outstanding prospect. Spooks Gotta Gun has really been proving himself in the show pen lately and with more of his foals starting to get closer to showing age, we feel confident they will prove his ability as a sire as well. This should be an exciting cross! |
