Ruffus Bars

Foaled in 1968, Ruffus Bars was bred by Jim Lawrence of Ellensburg Washington where he stood for many years. After Lawrences' death Ruffus was purchased in 1983 by Louis and Johnna Exner of Morningstar Ranch in Curlew Washington where he stood for the rest of his days. Ruffus Bars was sired by Guy Bar AAA, a track record holder and stakes and ROM race winner and out of Rosie Hancock by Dusty Hancock AA. Ruffus sired a number of foals that won on the track and ran ROM including Stewart's Daisy, Thrall Skeeter, Thrall Don, Thrall Jettina and Thrall Liz, all out of different mares. He also sired a lot of top rope and barrel horses. Ruffus was himself an excellent rope horse, heading and heeling and ran barrels at 16 seconds flat.

PLR Jetta Bay - Sold

2012 Bay Mare

JJ is truly an all-around horse. She started her career as a drill team horse (carrying flags as well), realizing her abilities, she then became a competitive gaming horse. She is also happy to mosey along with the grandkids down the trail or in the arena. We have also started roping the dummy off of her as well. All along this time she has raised a few wonderful babies. She is 17% Blue Valentine, 9% Leo Bar, and 8% Joe Hancock.
