In business for the past 35 years, Nugent Ranches/Anchor O (Mark & Randa Nugent) buys, sells, trains, trades and raises horses. If you need a horse, we will have it or we'll find it for you whether it is pack, pony, ranch, dude, pickup, roping or barrel racing. As well, we train professional roping (head, heel, calf) and barrel horses and also take outside horses to train.
