WAR CHIEFS PRIDE [DRIFTER]

 is a 1997 GRAY stallion, standing 15 hands and weighing 1250#.   He runs out with the ranch geldings.  We just catch him when we need him to breed a mare and then turn him back out.  He is a very heavily muscled horse.   He has an excellent disposition and a lot of ability.   He is absolutely un-shakable.  You can’t put enough much pressure on him to make him mad or get him excited.   He has had more cattle roped on him in the pasture and has dragged more calves to the branding fire as a 2 and 3 year old than most 5 or 6  year old ranch geldings. 

He is proving to be an outstanding sire.  He puts muscle and good conformation on even plain mares.  His foals and yearling have won or placed at every FQHR show they've gone to.  He sired the 2nd place weanling stakes stallion (a gorgeous grullo) at the 2002 FQHR Show in Purcell, Oklahoma winning $497.00 in premium money.   This colt came back and won the yearling colts and geldings stakes class.  Drifters Bartender was 2004 High Point 2 Year Old Gelding and High Point 2 Year Old In-Hand Trail Horse and stood Reserve Grand Champion 2 times in 2004.  He was also 2nd in the Ranch Please Stake.   Drifters Bum, won the 2004 Yearling Stake class at the fall OkFQHR show.    He sires over 95% grays, duns, and grullos with neat heads and necks and HUGE hips.

FLASH!!!   Two 2005 Drifter colts were just shown October 16, 2005 at the OkFQHR Fall Show in Purcell, Oklahoma.   With 9 colts entered, a Drifter colt bred and owned by Wolfe Ranch won the very competitive class and another Drifter colt owned by Buddy Cooksey of Maysville, OK stood second.    Buddy's colt is pictured below.  We will put in a picture of the Wolfe Ranch colt when we can get it from the show photographer.    Both are really nice colts.

His first colts ride super.   Drifter Dunit, a dun 2 year filly placed at every Foundation Show for two years and placed 3rd in the 2 year old Ranch Pleasure Stake held  Oct, 2003 at the fall Ok Foundation show and was exported to Germany in 2004.   Drifters Bartender is a 2 wear old that rides like he is 5 or 6.  He was 2nd in the 2004 Ranch Pleasure Stake, I used daily to 'pony' yearlings and was used in our 'Arbuckle Trail Rides' this year, frequently ridden by children.

One of his colts that was exported in utero to the United Kingdom has won 8 AQHA classes in the UK and is the British high point yearling stallion for 2003.   This colt is also the High Point AQHA 2 Year Old Stallion in the UK in 2004.

In 2002, the Grand Champion stallion and reserve Champion Versatility horse at The FQHR Round-up in Nebraska was a half brother also sired by Croton Gray.
