Welcome
Four Winds Ranch is a Peruvian Horse breeding,
training and boarding facility located in southeast Wisconsin. We are 45
minutes from Milwaukee and Madison. The surrounding country side is rolling
hills and fertile farm land situated in the Rock River Valley. Our 140 acres
provides outdoor trails through the pastures, meadow and along the river. It
is perfect for Peruvian horse boarding, Peruvian Horse training, and
Peruvian Horse breeding.
We
presently have 27 pure bred Peruvian Horses ranging from yearlings to 12
year old mares. We have two full time trainers and actively participate in
the local shows and the national show in Texas. We have chosen the Peruvian
Horse because of the smoothness of gait, a gentle disposition and stamina.
It is an ideal horse for beginners, children and people with back problems.
The unique gait eliminates any of the traditional bounce found in a trotting
horse.
The
Peruvian Horse was originally unique to Peru. Its ancestors coming from the
horses brought from Spain by the conquistadors. The horse was selectively
bred for use by the plantation owners in Peru for its gait, temperament and
stamina. The horses were used for the long rides around the plantations
supervising the agricultural operations.
These qualities continue to be prized in the Peruvian Horse in the United
States today. It is for these attributes that we and other breeders strive
for. Our breeding program is focused on open and proven bloodlines. Our
horses have done well at both regional and national shows exemplifying these
attributes.
We
encourage you to come and experience the wonderful smooth gaited ride of the
Peruvian Horse.
