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!
What kind of horse are you looking for?
We'd
be glad to try and help you find a horse to fit your needs.
