2005 AQHA Palomino Gelding

15.2hh This adorable gelding has the looks, build and speed to get the job done in style. He's bred for cow work and speed, big and strong enough to drag around any steer. Rio has a kind and willing disposition. He's responsive and sensitive to the bit. Going nicely under saddle and will be started on cattle this spring.

Salmon Valley Ranch is nestled amongst the beautiful Shuswap Mountains in the heart of the Salmon River Valley, just south of Salmon Arm, British Columbia. Our motive is to produce top quality, registered paints and quarter horses which will excel in arena disciplines - particularly reining, cowhorse, roping and barrel racing events. They must also be able to handle the ranch horse life, tough enough to withstand the BC wilderness, but cute and talented enough to keep you in the money. Forcing young horses beyond their physical or mental capabilities is against our beliefs, as we want our horses to perform a lifetime after the futurities. Our breeding program strives to produce competitive individuals based on the classic bloodlines, which shape the champions of the future.
