Old style versatility A.Q.H.A horses with recognizable pedigree, great conformation, good-looks, trainability and perhaps some color!
Our philosophy here is simple - breed the best mares to the best stallions, based on what each of them offers and each of them needs. We believe a stallion should always be as close to perfect as possible. We also believe in trying to do what is best for the breed.
The AQHA horse has, in so many cases, been bred into such a specialized animal that they only work for that discipline, if they are lucky enough to get through the training process without breaking down or generally failing out. I have never been accused of chasing a discipline with pedigree; that is - just cause its a "cutting horse" or a "reining horse" doesn't mean it can and should only be bred to a horse with a pedigree that is also recognizable only in that particular discipline. It is our belief that those people with horses so specifically bred - always, eventually, come back to the "old time" breeding to bring back brains, legs, feet, overall structure, etc - whatever it is they are lacking.
Our horses are used for real, everyday life, work and play. Versatility was what the Quarter Horse was built on; and our goal is to breed the best all-around horse that truly can do it all.
The Fleetwood family has been breeding horses for the last three generations on this very place in southern Alberta; and consider ourselves to be horse people, not just people who own horses.
We love to talk horses and frequently have horse tours on the place, so don't hesitate to call & come for a visit.
