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.

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. Our program includes 4 grandsons and 31 granddaughters of Blue Valentine. We are now successfully grossing these with Driftwood to make exceptional multidiscipline performance horses. We use the horses we raise and feel they offer the genetic strength to perform and compete in any discipline or arena. We are ranchers raisin’ good horses! ~ Randy Dunn
Running M geldings - your source for TESTED quality performance horses. Heath Stuart - Frontier Rodeo manager, riding and selling Bath Bros horses.
Frontier Rodeo Company, owned by Jerry Nelson, in Freedom, OK, is one of the premiere rodeo companies in the world, providing world class bucking stock for rodeos across the United States. A few highlights of Frontier’s history include: 2015 PRCA Stock Contractor of the Year, 2012 National Finals Rodeo - First Time in History a PRCA Stock Contractor Wins Bareback of the National Finals 4 Years in a Row, and 2011 National Finals Rodeo - First Time in History a PRCA Stock Contractor Wins Both Bareback and Saddle Bronc Horse of the Year. Frontier Rodeo is one of the largest suppliers of stock at the National Finals Rodeo, and the primary stock contractor for RFD TV’s “The American,” the world’s richest one-day rodeo competition. Several years ago, Frontier Rodeo’s Geneticist and Rodeo Administrator, Heath Stuart, began laying over hundreds of head of bucking stock at Bath Bros Ranch, in between summer rodeo events. During this venture, we have been fortunate to foster a great relationship with Heath and the rest of the Frontier crew. Being the man behind Frontier’s slogan, “Breeding Ground of Champions,” Heath has a remarkable eye for high quality horses and superb genetics. In 2012, Heath adopted Bath Bros mounts into his saddle horse string, where they have performed exceptionally for pick-up men and dignitaries alike. Our goal is for Heath, and the Frontier crew, to continue developing an offering of 6-8 excellent minded, well-travelled, and well-broke, Bath Bros horses for sale annually. Heath can be contacted at hstewart302@gmail.com or 866-218-5346 Ext 108 for further information.

Without them, it would be hard to do what we do. Thank You.
What we do would not be possible without the help and support of my family. I would like to shout out a huge, “thank you”, to Laurie, my beautiful bride of 34 years (who continues to keep us fed and in line), my daughter, Kelsey (who remains our full time ranch hand), daughter Ashley and fiancée Tyler, and daughter Jamie. Lee Vigil (who has been with us on the ranch for the past 29 years) is our other “secret to success”. We would be lost without him. Thanks a lot, Lee!
And then there is you… our Customers, Partners, and Friends. Thank you, for your continued support over the past 18 years. You are ultimately the reason we continue this great ride.

Billy Ward - Riding and Selling Bath Bros horses.
PRCA 7-time NFR pickup man and friend, Billy Ward, is exclusively riding and marketing our geldings. To date Billy has taken more than 100 geldings from Bath Bros. 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! Contact Billy at 307-575-0695 and talk to him about a horse that will work for you. As friends and partners we would like to congratulate Billy on his latest achievements. Billy is being inducted into the Hall of Fame for Cheyenne Frontier Days, Dodge City and Pendleton Roundup!

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.

All of Blue Susita’s foals have had chrome and get big (look at last year’s #55). It sounds like I keep repeating myself but that’s what they are...classic Blue Valentine Driftwood. We’ve sold over 1,000 horses, and for the most part, they are bred the same...a cross that has worked for years, and cowboys rely on.

Doll has lots of muscle, chrome and is easy going. Lots of run on the bottom side. Meanest Competitor was AAA and a track record holder. My Easy Charger was AAA and My Champ was the mother of Bill Nebeker’s good heel horse. Doll has had ground work and has a good disposition. I have exposed her to Bay Roan Dividend, who is a point earner in heeling and halter. Will be preg checked by sale day. Full sister to Lot 29.

Shalako
2010 Blue Roan Gelding - Not Registered
Dick Van Pelt
‘Shalako’ is one I didn’t get registered. He has a nice stop and he is real soft in the face. The girls say with these qualities, he could make a very good arena horse. He might be small, but he is really quick. He is used to ropes, bull whips and has been used on the ranch to earn his keep. They have had a lot of fun with this horse.
