Pete Wolfe and wife, Cheri own and
operate the Wolfe Ranch at Sulphur, Oklahoma. It is located 4 ˝ miles North of Sulphur on US Hwy 177.
The Wolfe family has been there for
26 years. They
breed the same bloodlines and kind of horses that Cheri started breeding in 1969 - horses that can cut a cow, catch a
fast one in open pasture, ride smooth on a trail ride, go to a horseshow and be competitive in 10 or 12 events and be
really pretty doing it. They have to have good bone and feet and be able to stay sound well into their twenties.
The Wolfe Ranch has been part of the AQHA Breeders Referral Program since
it's inception.
We train and use our horses here on the ranch and use
them doing ‘day work’ on some of the biggest ranches (25,000 + acres) in this region.
We keep a small but select group of broodmares.
Many
of them were top roping or ranch horses before we bred them. Several of
them have AQHA points and earnings or are producers. All of them are well bred and close to the best
‘FOUNDATION’ lines. They are heavy, stout, solid mares with good bone, big hips, good heads, excellent withers and
backs, and bred-in ‘COW’. We have really worked to find top
cow-bred mares with exceptional SIZE, BONE, FEET,
& SUBSTANCE. " Not all cutting-breds are 13.2
hand ponies - we have the big ones! Check out
the grandson of Doc's Prescription pictured at the right and in the
'congratulations ' link. We sold him 4 years ago to John
Row. He has been top ten at the World, has qualified 5 years
in a row in 7 events (3 open and 4 amateur) and carried John's son,
Mike to Justin Rookie of the Year in 2002.
Blue Boy was
named
2003 World Champion Amateur
Heeling horse. In
December, 2004 he was again named 2004 WORLD CHAMPION Amateur
Heeling horse for the 2nd year in a row. He also placed
3rd in the 2004 World in Amateur Heading. He was World Champion
again in 2006. CONGRATULATIONS -- GREAT
JOB!!! He now has
3 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS and 7
additional TOP TENS!! He has earned over 1200 AQHA
Points in 7 events!!! He was recently featured in 'Americas Horse', The AQHA
magazine sent out to members. He has now been named a World Champion
Heeling horse 3 times.
Check out the 'congratulations' page. A
horse trained and sold has also placed 3rd in the Open Team Penning at the
2004 'World' Show. The grullo (turning gray) Drifter colt on the right has
multiple grand championships in Europe and won the AQHA High Point stallion award
in the UK in 2003 and again in 2004.
Cheri originally came from Colorado 29 years ago
bringing several horses. One of those horses was Bay Elegance, a daughter of
Cheri’s original mare, Miss Keck, the
producer of 7 AQHA horses with race and show records including several state champions in both Colorado and
Oklahoma. In 2001 at age 27, Bay Elegance produced her last foal, a
filly by GUNS OF
MARIETTA. She is also the dam of Classical Silver
(recently sold to Mexico) and has sons standing at stud in 4 states.
The sire
of Bay Elegance was Cheri's old foundation stallion, AQHA CHAMPION, DOTY’S SOCKS JR.
Besides becoming an AQHA Champion in May
of his 3-year-old year, He was a superior halter horse, a superior pleasure horse, and had a total of 239 AQHA points
in 10 events! He was an NCHA cutting champion and had an NCHA Certificate
of Ability. He sired AQHA champions, paint champions,
cutting champions and numerous ROMs, and
producers. "He was the kind of ALL AROUND horse we still strive to produce today!"
Pete had a heart attack in 2000, a brain hemorrhage
in 2001 and had quadruple by-pass open heart surgery in September of
2007. Since we can no longer ride and handle as many horses
ourselves, we are offering most of our broodmares and fillies for sale.
We have just bred many outstanding young mares and are offering ALL of
them at very reasonable prices. Thanks to you, this web site has been so popular and
successful.
Each year we sell several horses over the phone or
internet 'sight unseen' to people we have never met. We try to
be absolutely up front about every little detail of each
horse. Each year, about half of the horses we sell like this
are to people that we have sold horses to before. We can offer
many references. We are also offering several top NCHA caliber
cutting prospects including granddaughters of Doc O'Lena and High
Brow Cat.
Since we can no longer show competitively ourselves, we are now taking out trail riders for 1/2 and all day trail
rides in the Arbuckle Mountains of southern Oklahoma and are taking out
trail riders in Turner Falls Park south of Davis.. We
use our ranch geldings, broodmares and our young fillies for our trail riding dude
string. We think that testifies as to the disposition of our
brood mares. We don't breed them until we have ridden and used
them. We think everyone should. Check out our 'Arbuckle
Trail Ride' page and 'Trail horses for sale' page and our new 'Trail Horse
Boarding'.
Every year we sell several horses to Europe and the UK
and just recently sold 3 horses to Mexico. We can arrange quarantine and all shipment details for
buyers and deliver horses to the quarantine station free of charge and can
do
all of it on a credit card. Most of these horses are sold
'sight unseen' and many go to repeat buyers.
Flash!!!
We have just decided that we have no choice but to sell all of our
mares. This includes many mares that we have never offered.
Some are 3rd and 4th generation of our breeding. It breaks our
hearts, but our health has failed too much to keep doing this right, so we
have to let go of mares we would never price -- no matter how many times
some people tried to buy them in the past. Here is a link to a new
page I am in the process of writing that will have these one-of-a-kind
mares listed on it. I do not have photos of most of them as we never
intended to sell any of them.
Special
Mare Dispersal We
would make a really attractive deal to someone wanting to buy a group of
them and keep some of these great producers together. Keep an eye on this
page as I will keep adding to it until they are all listed.
