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.
Their son, Terry, (recently back from 5 years of serving his Country) also helps. He and his wife and their two young
daughters also live on the ranch.
The Wolfe family has been there for
more than 30 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
8 or 10 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 or used as trail 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 in 2001 to John
Row. He has qualified 10 years
in a row in as many as 8 events and carried John's son,
Mike to Justin Rookie of the Year in 2002.
Blue Boy was first named WOLRLD CHAMPION Amateur
Heeling horse in
2003. He now has 6 AQHA World Championships and 3 Reserve
World Championships in Amateur Heading and Amateur Heeling.
His most recent wins were another World Championship in Amateur Heeling in
2011 and another Reserve World Championship in Amateur Heading in 2012.
He also has 2 Reserve World Championships in OPEN
heading. He also has won 30 World Championship Show 'Top Ten'
placings and He has won over
$80,000 in World Show money.
He has over 1900 AQHA Points and is completely sound.
A
horse trained and sold by us has also placed 3rd in the Open Team Penning at the
AQHA World Championship Show and has Superiors in Team Penning and Ranch
Sorting. 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 two years in a row and was 2 time High Point
International Halter Stallion.
Dennis Quade is riding a Paint 'All
Around' gelding that we trained and sold.
Cheri originally came from Colorado
33 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
gray filly by GUNS OF
MARIETTA. 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. Cheri has battled Arthritis and Degenerative Joint
Disease for more than 15 years. 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 bred and raised 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 or they have friends that
have bought horses from us. We can furnish many references
World Wide and there are probably people near about anyone that are riding
horses we sold.
Since we can no longer show competitively ourselves, we are now taking out trail riders
on trail
rides in the Arbuckle Mountains of southern Oklahoma. We
use our ranch geldings, broodmares and many of our young fillies and
geldings for our trail riding
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 Rides' website and 'Trail horses for sale' page in this website
Every year we sell several horses to Europe and the UK
and just recently sold 3 horses to central 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.
Our Driftwood stallion was
recently sold to
the UK where he had many 'girlfriends' waiting for him. He
also sold to a repeat buyer there. But, we have many sons and
daughters of his for sale.
Due to our age and declining health, we
are offering 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.
We
would make a really attractive deal to someone wanting to buy a group of
them and keep some of these great producers together.
If you are interested in a proven
broodmare (several in foal for 2013 and some open) or a young mare that is
ready to breed, call us. We will send you information on the mares
that we have. ALL of them will be priced reasonably. A couple are
trail and pleasure breeding and the others are cutting and cowhorse
breeding or old 'Foundation' ranch breeding. They made reiners,
cutters, ropers, cow horses and great 'all around' horses for more than 40
years.
Let us know what you would like. They
are priced from $1000.00 up to $5,000.00 for finished saddle horses. They include
granddaughters of Playgun to daughters of Drifter and Call Him The
Flash.
