Satisfied Owners. Happier Horses.
Mr. Willie he’s the best, Thank you
Trinity rode cowboy at our OES play day. She was the only kid got 2 firsts out of 6 classes. they have really clicked. I got him certified as a mounted patrol horse for our regional parks. He doesn’t get excited about anything great kid's horse . he isn’t crazy about small bridges but with spurs on he goes over them. we will recommend you to anyone looking for a horse. Thank you, Cynthia C.
she wasn’t sure about all this, but she was good girl.

I had the honor of working with Michelle in making my little girls dream come true and I couldn’t be more appreciative. My daughter is 3 and has watched her sisters compete in junior rodeo since she was born. She is timid around bigger horses but wanted to ride all on her own like her sisters…. the only problem? We didn’t have a horse small enough to her liking or suitable to take on such a tiny cowgirl and make my husband and I feel comfortable. That was when I saw a little palomino gelding that Michelle had posted looking for his new buddy. I fell in love! Not only was he a handsome stud muffin in a tiny package but he seemed to have a calm and willing personality. Perfect for a little one wanting to me independent. I was nervous in the thought that I was about to purchase my daughter a pony site unseen but Michelle made it as easy and painless as can be! The excitement I see in my daughter’s face every time she talks about her pony has made everything worth it. They are the cutest little blonde pair and I couldn’t be happier ! Many thanks to Michelle for helping me on this path ! I couldn’t recommend a better gal to deal with in searching for your own special unicorn!
Yogi
He helped get cows in today and they did so good. Yogi just kept right up with the other horses

Looks like he LOVES him.

"We are so happy with our newest addition, Rooster, to our family. Michelle was very thorough and provided honest answers to all of our questions along the way. Purchasing “sight unseen” can be nerve wracking, however, we are very happy with our new best friend, and he was just as he was described to us. We are thankful to have found Michelle/JM Ranch as we had been looking for almost a year for the right fit for our Ranch. Our family is now complete!"

"I purchased “Jersey” an 8 eight yr old adorable Haflinger mare from JM Ranch Horses Sept 1st, 2020. I spoke with Michelle as soon as the add was posted, who responded quickly, promptly, and professionally. I told her I was looking for an equine therapy pony, and would Jersey be suitable. Michelle assured me that Jersey would be the perfect match for the job/home, and sure enough she has lived up to every expectation and then some. In the short period of time I have owned her, she stepped right into her role as an equine assisted therapy horse and has been a super star. She has already changed the lives of her riders/handlers from toddlers to senior citizens with a wide range of cognitive, emotional, and physical disabilities. She is the sweetest girl, in excellent health, and just as described. She is truly a Barbie horse and the transaction with JM Ranch horses could not have been better. I have already referred JM Ranch Horses to all of my equestrian colleagues and will purchase an addition to my therapeutic riding program when the time comes from this enterprise."

"Sable passing another test with flying colors on our second ride! He is everything and more from Michelle’s biography about him. He loves the roan horse and gets along well with the others. Sable follows me everywhere when cleaning his paddock and meets me in the early morning hours when I come out to feed in the dark. I am excited to take him horse camping next spring because I know he will accept that challenge. I am so thrilled having Sable and meeting Michelle you are awesome. I highly recommend you & JM Ranch horses to any one looking for a horse. Thank you Michelle!"

"Everything went wonderfully well. Amarillo was a super traveler and backed out of the trailer with a little patience and encouragement. He isn’t too sure about the automatic waterers so I set it up so he also can drink out of a bucket. Thanks so much for everything. Everyone loves him! I will send some photos. The place he is going to live is super, with 3 arenas (2 covered) a round pen, turnouts, trails to ride and the people seem really nice and relaxed. He is in a box stall for a little while, but he will have more open space soon. Please tell his previous owner that he is doing well and everyone loves him. Thanks again"

Remington
Michelle,
Just wanted to let you know that the five months that I’ve had Remington (formerly Shooter) have been wonderful. You were right, he’s the perfect horse, my life-long buddy. I have never bonded so quickly with any animal.
Customer Subtitle
Yep!!! That’s our big boy next to our palomino!!! He’s got the HUGEST personality and, Michelle, I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done for us and for my kids. Les LOVES Gunner. AND IROC won me my first and only saddle! He just get’s better a little a time. Always shaves a split off of every event. I have the papers to prove it! We just LOVE that big guy! Girls ride him bareback with halter only. The girls love you…no pressure, no bullshit, and you have a knack for placing the right horse with the right kid. 🙂 I don’t want to share him though!!! He’s MINE!!! love him!!!!
Slippers
Hello Michelle,
This is Regan i purchased Slippers from you at the ACTRA in Reno, Nevada. I just wanted you to know how slippers is doing. I have been breakawaying off pf him ever since i got him. He puts me where i need to be and every one at my rodeos love him. My trainer thinks he is the perfect horse for me and i love him to death. He is very sweet and never gets pushy. Slippers loves my barrel horse Halo to pieces. I use him for goats too and he is awesome!! He takes me right to the goat and makes sure i do good. When im done goat tying he turns to face me and waits for me at the end of the arena. Slippers is the best horse! Im placing in the top 10 with him in the goats. Breakaway is getting better every day, im still learning so he is being patient and getting the calve to run straight for me. We have grown together really well.
Thank you so much for Slippers and sorry i didn’t get to email you earlier.
Sincerely,
Regan and Wade H.
Cookie
Hi Michelle, I bought I horse from you last year named Cookie. Jake said he was a mustang he got from a man with the last name of Cook. I know you guys go through a lot of horses so I’ve attached a picture of him to jog your memory. I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how much my husband, Rich and I are enjoying Cookie. We have 3 other horses, but Cookie is my ‘go to’ horse; always easy going and fun to ride. No matter how long he is off, he’s always the same guy when we get back on him. He has the sweetest gaits ever and is easy on the back (important at our age!). We love Cookie and he loves his new home. Thank you for the great horse. Sheri V

Chex
I’m sending a pic of Chex and me just yesterday. He’s such a good boy and I just love him. I’m finally jogging on him and staying in the saddle. I rode him today on a trail course. We went down hills traversing, over huge logs, did figure 8’s in between trees, walked in between posts with a cone at end and then backed out, etc. and he did so great – and so did I. Anyway I just love him.
Warmly, Rosie
Chex
Hi Michelle, Thanks for helping me out and being so willing to do more, I really appreciate it.I just love my new guy! Has his Spring shots, was wormed and had his teeth done and new shoes. Only thing left to do is get his a Chiro adjustment if he needs it and he will be good to go for about 10 years! He’s a glutton for lovings and grooming, like he mumbles! He follows me all over the pasture and I can’t get enough of him. He doesn’t much like to be bathed, kind of moves all over but he’s still such a good boy. Joyce and I are surprised that he’s gotten lighter and actually looks like a Buckskin color.I took him out to the ranch where my husband does cutting last Friday and he was such a good boy. He and I just walked all around the ranch and did everything I asked of him. My friend took me on a trail ride and we came to a railroad bridge with like a 200 ft. drop and no side rails and my Chex Baby walked right across – good thing as I closed my eyes – do not want to do that again! Also last Wed. I took my 23 yr.old grandson out to a public arena and took both horses and both were great but Chex was the greatest.
Anyway here are a few pics – hope you enjoy.
Warmly, Rosie

Boo
I can take a million pictures of my Boo and never will they capture the pure awesomeness of this guy. His pretty face, big huge round feet, 100% muscled covered big bones and his gorgeous flea bitten grey coloring. He was an ugly duckling when I got him on December 23, 2013 , 6 one hour lessons on him followed by 1-3 hours of practice EACH day except for a total of four days since I got him. I paid $3,000 for him but today, not even four months later……he truly is priceless and NOT registered. I don’t know his breeding and in all reality he has just proven to me that papers are worthless, it is a horses HEART that determines his worth. His heart is huge. Dawn

Michelle was great in working around our schedule in seeing him, and holding him for me when others would call about him. And for keeping him with her until we could bring him home as our daughter’s Christmas present! Extremely nice and open to ALL of our constant questions, and with paperwork in hand. In the future when it’s time to add on for another member of the family (hopefully all me next time), we know just who to call. Thanks Michelle

She has her winter coat on and looks like she needs a bath and a few pounds but she is so sweet and kind a one in a million quarter pony just the girl we were looking for ! Little children can climb all over her and she isn’t afraid of dogs at all. Ashley will have her in training from here on and I’m telling you this horse is a dream come true. Thank You Lord for being with us on this journey for a pony for my Grandchildren ! Let the fun times roll !
