Fresno Ima Master
Fresno Ima Master is a horseman’s horse. RM Livestock considers it a privilege to have the opportunity to own a stallion of this quality and ability. His structure is pure quarter horse with a deep body, big hip and terrific shoulder. A big soft eye in a beautiful head speaks of his intelligence and trainability. Fresnos Ima Master is bred to be a cow horse and his sire comes right from the heart of the famous Ward Ranch cow horse program. With 2x Doc Bar, Poco Bueno, Filinic and Sugar Vandy all on his papers and Wimpy P-1, Leo, and Poco Tivio just one generation off, his genetic makeup is flawless.


He has proven his own ability with AQHA points in heading, heeling and working cow horse, multiple ranch horse championships, and champion in the herd work at the NRCHA Worlds Greatest Horseman. As a sire, his offspring compete with success in AQHA and NRCHA performance, as well as rodeo events. Versatility is the goal of the AQHA and Fresnos Ima Master is a versatile performance sire.

    First Down Express

A very keen built speed horse and sire has earned himself quite a reputation with a limited breeding career.  "First Down Express" not only has outstanding conformation for an aged race horse stallion but has a disposition to handle himself around people and other horses that is seldom seen.  A speed index (best) at 107 and earnings of $76,927.  His biggest demand as a sire is evident by his top ten money earners (listed below) all exceeding his earnings handily.  As a 2 year old First Down Express set a new track record, earned Superior Race Horse in 1993 and was California High Point 3 year old.  With his offspring having earnings of over $4,000,000 the opportunity to continue his legacy may be well within reach.
