One of the reasons I bought my first stallion (Chex) is due to my concern for the safety and handling of the horses. I strive to provide a safe facility for the breeding of mares and insure that they will be handled properly with safety and the utmost care.

As we move forward in 2023 we are sad to know that we lost Chex in June 2022 he was our main stallion from 1998 to 2022. We are now standing a super stallion we call Ruger (Dun Smokin Ruger) who will be crossed on our ranch mares the daughters of Sonnys Bar Chex. 

Ruger is beginning his show career in 2023. He has been raised right, just like our other horses, in the fields and hills of Eastern Oregon and with geldings and foals. We did hand breed him in 2022 and then also pasture bred our mares. We will offer him to the public live cover and pasture breeding ONLY! 

When I started the breeding at Dun the Right Way Horses, I built a safe hand breeding station for the mares and the stallions. I pride myself in not hobbling mares or allowing the stallions to rape them. We always have two handlers--one for the mare and one for the stallion. We wash the mare and wrap her tail.  We keep your mare close to her stallion so that she is not just getting thrown to him.  We allow the stallion to talk to her at all times when they are breeding.  From start to finish, the whole process is about making and keeping the mare comfortable.

We specialize in helping a mare that might come to us with issues.  If she doesn't tie, or if she kicks, we will work through that with her.  If she is hard to catch, or needs grooming, we will assist in that.  If your mare likes to be alone, we will place her in a comfortable, clean stall for her stay at our ranch.  If she needs to be out with other horses, we will make sure she is around our most gentle, loving, herd friendly horses.  

If you need help in hauling horses to or from the ranch, we will work through the details with you.  We offer hauling your mares to the vet of your choice as well for ultra sounds to confirm in foal prior to leaving the ranch.

Our mission is to treat your mare as if she were one of ours.  We will do everything possible to make the experience a positive one for both her and you.

Please note that we do limit the number of mare per year that we bred our stallions. We do limit the length of our breeding season, so that mares need to arrive NO later than June 1st for breeding. Some exceptions may apply.

 For breeding Fees: We will stand Ruger to limited number of mares in 2023- $750 breeding fee. 

We will offer foals by out of his daughters in the future. We are excteid about our future Ranch Stallion: Dun Smokin Ruger- aka RUGER
