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!

Update from the new owners of our beloved J.J.:
Hello Mr. Foster and Family
We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! We wanted to thank you Mr. Foster for meeting us in Shreve Port LA. because of that we got to stop and rest for a while:) We also wanted to let you know J.J. did fine on his trip to Florida;) We did end up hitting a lot of rain so we really appreciate that blanket! He loaded and unloaded several times and was very quiet despite the long trip;) He is settling in here and enjoyed another ligament massage after his trip;) This morning he met Gabriella his new owner :) She was so excited !!!!!! We asked her Christmas Eve what she really really wanted. She said J.J. We then asked her how Santa would get him here seeing as how he is so big and is all the way in Texas she replied well.............he can HAVE HIM FLOWN HERE ON A AIR PLANE then she giggled. She woke up at least four times to check to see if there was a new horse in the barn;) Then woke up at six a.m. and read SANTA'S NOTE, and like lighting, bolted out of the house towards the trailer, were she found J.J tied wearing her new barrel saddle;) She then rode him out front to show the family her NEW BARREL HORSE (such a big girl;)!! He was awesome with her she was sitting up so straight shoulders back taking him and turning him through every hedge and tree she could find with the biggest grin I have ever seen on her face;) So far they seem really good together;) I will send some pictures shortly;)
Thank you again we will keep you posted on their progress;)
