The Driftwoods... for the classic Blue Valentine cross • Our concentration of Driftwood blood started with the Stanley and Randy Johnston mares. These mares were a blend of Driftwood, Poco Speedy, Orphan Drift, Sak Em San (son of Peppy San), Doc’s Jack Frost (sire of Sun Frost) and Captain Crusade. We bred these mares to our Blue Valentine stallions. • Another good cross was My Drifty Pride and daughters of Gooseberry. This proven program, through Valentine Drift, has given us genetic strength and diversity for the future.

“Cowboy” is a big powerful horse that is quick and can really stop hard. He has earned his ROM in heading and heeling, qualified for the AQHA World Show and won the Oklahoma State Fair team roping. He is easy to be around and has lots of personality. He comes to about 22% Joe Hancock blood and over 8% Peter McCue. He has made an excellent cross on our Blue Valentine mares. He’s a true blue champion! Dick Van Pelt
Chip Merritt
We looked around for a stud that met our criteria for preserving the Blue Valentine bloodlines. After breeding some mares to this horse and getting all outstanding colts, we decided to purchase him. Chip remembers roping calves and punching cows on Rowdy Blue Man and Blue Fox Hastings was a full sister to Gooseberry. He’s 50% Blue Valentine and the extra Plenty Coup is a bonus.

If you follow our breeding program, we don’t use or buy outside studs. But we found “Moon” and bought half-interest in him from fellow breeder and friend Jerry Jeppson. He’s homozygous black and 43.75% Blue Valentine. He’s a little more refined and modern than some of the traditional high % Blue Valentine sires around. We are excited to cross him on our Rojo, Gooseberry, Leo Hancock Hayes and Roan Ambrose daughters. Chip Merritt

Bath Bros Ranch
Randy and Laurie Dunn - Carrying on the Bath Family Tradition
My ancestors, the Baths, came to Laramie in the spring of 1868. The railroad followed in the fall, and the Territory of Wyoming was formed. The Baths built the first wood-framed building in Laramie in 1869 before moving to the Little Laramie Valley to start raising cattle and horses. The Bath Brothers had a long and strong tradition of raising good using horses and reputation cattle. In the 1930’s, they raised Remount Horses for the government. They began raising Quarter Horses in the late 30’s, and became AQHA members in the early 40’s. My wife, Laurie, and I continue the 140+ year tradition of raising quality horses on the same ranch. We still use the family’s original AQHA number (#7965) as our Lifetime AQHA number, and carry on the same principles that have been handed down for seven generations in the Bath family. Our horses are easy keepers with good minds, speed, bone, and tons of cow and athletic ability.
Our ranch is one of the oldest working ranches in Wyoming and our brand is one of the oldest recorded in the state. Our horses are raised in big, open pastures along side of the cattle. We use the horses we raise and feel they offer the genetic strength to perform and compete in any discipline or arena. Our program includes 4 grandsons and 31 granddaughters of Blue Valentine. We are ranchers raisin’ good horses! ~ Randy Dunn

As a pick-up man, Billy has to be mounted on GOOD horses. Running M horses have consistently proven to be what he needs to get the job done. Billy has taken, and is taking, over 20 head to Cheyenne Frontier Days and Rodeos all over the country. These horses perform in the various parades, carry dignitaries during the rodeo and both Billy and Dalton (his son) will use them to pick-up off of. There is not much these horses have not seen or done by the time they are 5. This exposure, coupled with trainability and athleticism, is what makes these geldings a perfect choice for anyone looking for a horse to GET THE JOB DONE!

As a profensional, he knows what it takes to truly make a great ranch horse because he has made a living on them for most of his life. He may be retiring from the pick-up business this year, but he is looking forward to continue producing great ranch horses for years to come.
Without them, it would be hard to do what we do. Thank You. A lot of what we

Merritt Quarter Horses Chip, Kathy, Brady & Corey The Start of A Tradition...
It all began in 1880 when my great-grandfather, Vince Hayes, trailed a herd of good mares from Ft. Riley, Nevada to Thermopolis, Wyoming. His two sons, Buster and Laurie, continued the tradition of raising and riding top horses and sought ways to improve them. Around 1951, they purchased Texas Blue Bonnet, a son of Joe Hancock. They started crossing him on their own mares and in 1955 a Patron mare bred to him produced a foal named Plenty Coup, who went on to also produce many top colts.
Vince Hayes in the late 1800s.
At about the same time my grandfather, King Merritt, brought one of the first Quarter Horse stallions, “Old Red Buck P-9” to Wyoming. As a respected horseman, King had judged the first Quarter Horse show in California. He and all his children were well known for their horsemanship skills. King and his son Hyde brought additional stallions to Wyoming, including Ambrose and Patron. Hyde inherited from his father the satisfaction of riding a good horse he knew he had raised. In the fall of 1956, Ken Gunter gave Del Haverty the pick of the Red Man colts. Del picked a blue roan stallion named Blue Valentine. Del trained Blue to rope Buster and Laurie Hayes calves, tie-down team rope, and haze dogging steers. Blue later was most famous as a steer roping horse but Del always felt he was a better calf horse than anything. Del sold half interest in Blue Valentine to Buster and Laurie Hayes. Buster and Laurie stood Texas Blue Bonnet, Plenty Coup, and Blue Valentine. It was quite an experience to see these studs out with the excellent set of mares Buster and Laurie had accumulated. The tradition continued when my mother, Dede (Buster’s daughter), married my father, Hyde. Hyde started breeding his Ambrose mares to Hayes’ Plenty Coup, then took that cross and bred to Blue Valentine. This program produced the stallion Gooseberry, Crow Creek (Lory’s top calf horse), and many good mares.
Buster Hayes with three sons of Texas Blue Bonnet.
Hyde and Dede then bought the other half interest in Blue Valentine from Del. Hyde felt like it was a great privilege to rope steers on Blue. In 1970 Hyde roped at his last Cheyenne Frontier Days on Blue. Everet Shaw, who rode his share of great steer roping horses, told Hyde that Blue was the best horse at Cheyenne that year. Hyde and Del both felt that Blue started out of the box quicker and could catch cattle easier than any horse they had ridden. The combination of Blue’s athletic ability and Del’s training made him hard to beat.

The Tradition Lives On...
Gathering Blue Valentine Two and his mares. Kathy and I continue this tradition by raising horses with as much Texas Blue Bonnet, Plenty Coup, Ambrose and Blue Valentine as possible, hoping to preserve the heritage of these great bloodlines. Offering the best horses we can raise is what we work on all year round. What we bring to the sale each year is no accident. Kathy & I work diligently with the future of these horses in mind. We know what the two of us like in a horse, but the direction of our breeding program involves a lot more than that. Each year’s colt crop represents our efforts to improve upon the last. People tell us that these horses have such good dispositions. No matter what different things we do with a horse, we all want to ride one that’s gentle, versatile and athletic.
This is the mother of Lot #24 Blue Bonnie Hayes (Brady's mare)
A HUGE THANK YOU to our family and friends, and our Come To The Source partners.
Brady and Corey driving the mares on two sons of Wyo Blue Bonnet. 'Texas' and 'Hooey' are just like all the other Blue Bonnets - kind, easy to start, fun to ride and always looking for a job to do.
To those of you who love these bloodlines and give us a reason to keep them going...OUR ENDLESS APPRECIATTION!
Wyo Blue Bonnet 1991-2011
Blue Bonnet was a part of Come To The Source since the start. Even though Kathy and I knew early on he would made an outstanding stud, we had no idea the kind of name he would make for himself. He was an incredible individual. A number of sons and daughters have been high sellers and we are riding sons and a daughter of his at home. He was the best.....we were lucky to have him as long as we did. RANCH RAISED • ATHLETIC

It is nestled at the base of the Laramie Range of mountains at about 7400 feet above sea level. The high plains of Wyoming, its good hard grass, cold mountain water and acres and acres of bright blue unpolluted sky is home to the Van Pelt string of top quality ranch bred working cow horses going back to Blue Valentine, Joe Hancock and Leo. We know everyone likes a choice and we're here to offer it to you. From working ranch horses, to team roping and winning barrel horses that can run a hole in the wind......we'll have it all, and we'll have one for you.
On Friday Afternoon
we will have a warm up of our riding horses for Saturday’s preview. So come take a peek.
Every year we like to elevate our program to a higher level. We are still striving toward that goal. We think you will see the results of that effort again this year. As I have tried to slow down, I have leased out some mares to Roy and Brandee Gillum who help run the family ranch at Peetz, Colorado. They have some nice roans in the sale ths year, and Roy does a great job with his riding horses. This is a wonderful family who have met all my highest hopes of junior partners as I slow down in my horse operation.
Greg Frye and his family continue to be an important part of our horse operation. Greg starts most of my horses and his son and daughters have become excellent hands over the years and they will do a lot of work with these horses that will show on sale day. Their horses will be gentle and accustomed to being in a lot of different situations including bull whips, umbrellas, tarps, slickers and dogs. It's an amazing family and what they produce is also amazing.

Everyone has a choice...thank you for choosing us. It was very rewarding to receive pictures of Linus Clark and Clay O’Brien Cooper winning the 4th Annual Sweetest Loop Pro-Am Roping in 2009. Linus is riding an 8-yr-old son of Blue Hancock Cowboy out of a Leo bred mare. Linus trained this horse himself and Clay was impressed with the horse’s consistency. He commented on the excellent handles knowing all he had to do was come around the corner and do his job. Congratulations to both Clay and Linus and their good horses.
Danny Schicke has won a lot of team roping on this big blue horse and we have more like him this year.

The ultimate reward for me is when a youngster like little Wylee Cheney takes one of my horses and goes on to win (above). She won this saddle with one of Vista Grande's versatile horses. Now she also has a son of Lil Rudy Can Go that she has trained pretty much by herself and is going to run barrels on.
This is Bay Roan Dividend who I have chosen to replace Blues Roan Hancock (Randy). He is by Blues Roan Hancock and out of a double bred Dividend Coup mare. If my wife has her way I will cut down the number of mares I run and he will be a replacement for Jimmy, my good rope horse. Although I do not plan to sell him....I have found myself pricing him recently. I've always liked to put a little speed in our horses, but really wasn't thinking about barrel horses. I've been excited to see how well Laramie's own Stacey Smallwood has done with her son of Blues Roan Hancock,who is a grandson of Blue Valentine who goes back to Jet Deck. Stacey qualified "Right Flashy" to go to the BBR World finals in Oklahoma City this year in April where she placed 39th out of 1800 head of barrel horses! Congratulations Stacey and thank you for being such a good example of what horses from Vista Grande Ranch can achieve.

Pretty, tall, long-egged blue roan mare. Smooth mover in the pasture. Her mother, Blues Socks, is also in the sale (Lot 31). She is double bred Gooseberry, and that’s getting harder to find these days. Take them both home if you like them.
Big hipped, nice eyed colt. Driftwood & Blue Valentine. Ruano Rojo top and bottom. Miss Dusty Dot was Valentine Red Rogers’ mother. This cross of Rojo and Drifty has always worked for us.
