Welcome
to Foster's Quarter Horses. Briefly,
our goal is to raise,
train, ride, and/or
sell foundation
quarter horses
that are
structurally correct,
gentle, and
show by natural
cowing instinct.
We believe that these
attributes make great
performance horses
in
whatever
event you choose.
Bloodlines of King, Poco
Bueno,
Driftwood, Hancock
and most foundation
bloodlines
are the basis
of the foundation of our ranch.
We
take the approach that horses
(treated properly,
given
a chance,
guided with wisdom,
can nearly always be
productive and useful
animals,
bringing joy and
reward
to their owners.
Foster's
Quarter Horses
is owned and
operated
by Steven Foster.
Our
ranch actually goes
back
to when Steven's grandfather moved
to
Texas from
Kentucky in 1892.
Their knowledge of horses
for
work and pleasure has been passed down
from
generation
to generation.
Steven's father trained,
traded,
and knew horses
very well.
His mother's uncle had the
wagon yard and feed
store in Lamar County
(trade center for horses and mules).
His father,
early on,
match- raced quarter horses, worked
them on cattle,
used
them to
pull equipment out of
the mud,
and any other job
that needed to be done.
They had to be sound,
gentle, and
they had
to "cow" to
survive on the
ranch. Our horses today
are basically the same.
Calf roping,
team
roping, breakaway
roping and steer tripping are all
favorites
around the our ranch.
The method of
training used on
our horses
was basically trial
and error based on Professor Berry's
Horse Training Techniques
from the turn of the century.
He was pre-Parelli, pre-Reis,
but had similar principles and
methods as
we see in these
trainers today.
Foster's Quarter
Horses is a
family operation.
Everyone has a part.
Everyone
has fun. If we are not
riding,
roping, or working,
we'll probably
be
cooking, so come on by and see us!

Email
on 12/15/08 from Popeye's new owners one week after purchase:
"Hi
Amy, Just a quick note to let you know that Popeye is doing great!!!
On Saturday he
went a little fast for her,
and she has not had much
time with him, so I put a snaffle bit in his
mouth with a little
shank and a loose tie down.
That slowed him down to a perfect speed
and I am sure after a
week or so more I will take it all off. On
Sunday she won
2nd in the flags, 2nd in the barrels, 1st in the
poles, and 5th
in th goats. Her goat run was slow because for some
reason
she hung on his side for a while and he just stood there.
Attached are some pictures. Please share with your daughter.
Thanks
so much. Have a great day! -Brady"
Way to go Weslynn (only 4 years old)!
