Before you listen to horse
experts......
Be sure to ask yourself if you've
ever seen these folks in the
SADDLE! Beware if your "expert" sites every
possible medical excuse in the book for NOT riding!

So class what have we learned?
(LOL)

1.  You can find good quarter horses in alaska, but did you know
that all of the Pitcher Ranch breeding herd has been carefully
selected and Imported?! Now Thats a lot of Horses!

2. A Free Horse is easy to find, but hard to get rid of.

3. Generally, You get what you pay for!

4. Buying a younger horse you know it will grow, but buying a
poor quality horse it will always stay that way!

A low quality horse is just as expensive to keep as a great quality
one. If you spread the added expense over the life of the horse
you buy
it is usually well worth the extra investment.

Same with investments into your DREAMS. Be sure they are really
FUN!

It's simple math!
Gain a skill set in basic
horsemanship.

It might be quite a bit
more fun than you think
the pitcher way!

Flo pitcher
gives basic riding lessons
all year round in all
weather, (or indoors).

You might find yourself
forging a lake, or jumping
a snowbank!
and saying to
yourself...WOW when did I
learn to ride this well!

With Great Sorrow

We announce that Alcine Pitcher
passed away on December 2, 2007.

She was a breeder of Peruvian Paso
horses. Some of her blood stock was
used to re-introduce the gaited traits
back into the Nez Perce horses.
She was also a good friend of Cowgirl
Hall of fame's Gertrude Maxwell.

Alcine was a Christian woman who
went to Church, prayed at dinner
time and read from the Holy Bible.

She  is survived by her Husband
Darvin Pitcher, and her five children
Cole, James, Dan, Mike and
Roseanne.  Her many Grand Children
and Great Grandchildren will indeed
miss her knowledge, love and
presence.
Alcine was a beautiful woman
who could wrangel with the
best of men.

May 2008 for a bit of
Cowboy Shooting

Julie had Flo Pitcher put 90 hours on her
AQHA mare.
Now Julie can ride her horse and relax in
western style!

This mare can side pass, lead departures,
reverse, yeild to pressure, climb steep
obstacles, She will leave the barn alone
or lead as trail boss. Saddles at Liberty.
The mare will Traverse deep snow banks
in any weather, Haul in a trailer, Take on
wildlife with confidence, clip and bathe
She is good with trafffic, dogs, heavy
equipment. She stands for the farrier
and you can shoot a gun off her from the
saddle, even indoors!
Mare Owners may order color coat tests for their mares
at:  http://www.vgl.ucdavis.edu/
Due to public demand
Black Prince Hancock, and HeBe White Lighting have
both got color coat tests due back in May 2008, from
University of Davis in California.

With that said, a fine foal of any color is a good one!
and remember.......
treat folks nice,
good living is the
best revenge!

Notice:
Pitcher Ranch is importing two lovely mares this season.

However as usual,
We haven't specifically imported any "sale" horses for 2008.

The ranch has focused more on aquiring and producing it's
own herd of exceptional quality equine stock.

We're happy with WHO we've got lined up to perform and
produce for Pitcher Ranch.  We think you will be also!

Each year there will be great quality AQHA horses being
prepared for long term placement, with quality training and
valuable advise available when you need it.

If you dream of owning an outstanding prospect,  please
keep us in mind. We've dedicated ourselves to helping you  
reach for your dreams and avoid the pitfalls of "sale horse"
purchases.

Offers on our equine stock are not always accepted, but
always respectfully entertained by serious horse folk.
Wouldn't you rather bring home a
"keeper"?!
