Western Bloodstock presenting absolute dispersal sale of Teton Ridge Performance Horses 

In recent years, Teton Ridge, a leading western sports and entertainment company, has built its portfolio to include television, sports, media, and other events. The group even expanded its equine holdings to include some of the best athletes in the industry. 

On June 25, Western Bloodstock announced it will be presenting the absolute dispersal of the performance horse bloodlines at TR9 Ranch in Weatherford, Texas, Sept. 29. Viewing of the horses will be available Sept. 28.  

According to a news release, the one-day lineup of championship-caliber horses represents a planned conclusion of Teton Ridge’s active breeding and sales program, as the company refocuses its efforts on expanding its footprint across western sports, media and live events. 

“Our performance horse program has been foundational to Teton Ridge’s growth and identity,” Deirdre Lester, CEO of Teton Ridge, said in a news release. “This next step allows us to honor that legacy while evolving with intention, expanding our focus across western sports, media, and live experiences, and continuing to support the equine athletes and communities that are core to the culture we’re helping shape.” 

Teton Ridge acquired The Cowboy Channel recently, giving it the largest portfolio of exclusive PRCA media rights, Cowboys & Indians magazine and leadership in Pro Fantasy Rodeo. The company also produces flagship events such as The American Rodeo and upcoming The American Performance Horseman, helping them become a cultural and entertainment powerhouse in the western world. 

Teton Ridge’s breeding program has redefined the genetic future of Western performance horses, producing championship bloodlines that will endure for generations. 

“We are proud of what we’ve built and the horses that have become synonymous with our program,” John Sanislow, general manager of TR9 Ranch stated in a news release. “Now, we are honored to open the gates and share that opportunity with others.” 

According to Western Bloodstock, there will be more than 100 head of horses catalogued, and the sale will feature some of the most accomplished and recognizable names in the equine industry. The offering is expected to span nearly every major discipline in the equine world.  

A lineup of stallions, broodmares, embryos, weanlings, yearlings, 2-year-olds, and aged event horses will be offered—many already proven in the arena or backed by proven pedigrees. With bloodlines tracing to the most dominant sires and dams in cutting, reined cow horse, reining, and barrel racing, this offering is truly unmatched. 

“Teton Ridge brought together some of the finest minds, horses, and pedigrees in the business,” Jeremy Barwick, owner of Western Bloodstock, said in a news release. “This is a very rare opportunity—the kind that comes once in a lifetime—to access horses that were never intended to be for sale. It’s going to change breeding programs and show barns overnight. This sale puts the best of every arena within reach.” 

Some of those headliner horses include Smooth Talkin Style with lifetime earnings of $305,000-plus, All Spice (LTE $570,000+), Third Edge (LTE $342,000+), Twice In Santiago (LTE $276,000+), Dunit A Lil Ruf (producer of more than $1.2 million) and Babe On The Chase—known affectionately as “Birdie”—exceeding $550,000 in lifetime earnings. Also featured is her standout daughter, Tres Chasin Babe PZ, a barrel racing sensation with earnings exceeding $546,000. 

Western Bloodstock is calling this a “never before” event in the industry with a lineup of this caliber offered in one place, at one time. This dispersal marks the complete offering of one of the most high-powered and well-curated breeding and training programs ever assembled in the modern era of Western performance horses. 

It could be called a generational shift instead of a sale. From dominant cutting bloodlines to rodeo royalty and reining greats, the Teton Ridge program assembled talent with intention, integrity, and an unwavering focus on performance, the company said. Now, that vision becomes available to the public for the first time. 

“This is one of the most powerful offerings we’ve ever had the privilege to represent,” said Jeremy Barwick, “These horses were never meant to be sold. The quality here is so deep it’s going to reset breeding barns and show strings across the country.”
