Welcome to Rydl Ranch!
Pronounced "riddle"
We are a small breeder of quality horses.
Our goal is to produce intelligent horses with good dispositions, conformation, ability. Although we are striving for
color, quality comes first. Our focus is on quarter horses and appaloosas --
We started with one breeding stallion, a
golden palomino that produced some beautiful colored foals. Our second colt, lineback dun blanket appaloosa, had
several years before he would be old enough to start breeding, but we believe he would have been an outstanding sire. Unfortunately,
2003 and 2004 were tragic years, as we lost the younger horse in July of 2003, and the palomino in August of 2004. Both
of them can be seen on our memorial page.
We currently have three colts, but they will not be
of breeding age for a couple of years.
Our mares have been carefully selected.
Having started mainly with young stock just a few years ago, we were expecting our first foals in 2003, but both pregnant
mares lost their foals. We did have an unexpected surprise in April of 2004, a little filly out of a two year old
mare that we had just purchased. We did not know the mare was pregnant at the time of purchase. Luckily,
mare and filly had no problems. Look at the 2004 foal page for photos of the baby.
