Five Panel N/N

Sharon purchased Zing from the San Juan Ranch at the 2015 Snaffle Bit Futurity Sale in Reno, Nevada. He began training under saddle as a Reined Cow Horse and had a brief show career. However, we were anxious to add him to our breeding program and brought him home ending his show career. His first batch of babies were born in 2019, and as expected are as gentle and as flashy as Zing is. This year, 2022, is the first time Zing's offspring will be in the Van Norman Sale.

HERDA N/HRD

Shiney was purchased in 2012 at Carol Rose's Quarter Horse Sale in Gainesville, Texas. Flint Lee showed him for a limited time in reined cow horse events. Shiney is as gentle as a gelding, and Sharon herself even ropes on him.

His first foal crop was born in 2016, and is similar to Shiney. Very kind, very trainable, versatile, always cooperative, and willing to do what is asked of them.

Keep an eye out for his upcoming offspring.

Herda N/N

Preacher is the major star of the Rhoads Ranch Show. He was purchased in 2005 at the Snaffle Bit Futurity Sale in Reno, Nevada. He was then started under saddle by Flint Lee, who began his career as a reined cow horse. He then went on to win the Nevada Stallion Stakes Snaffle Bit Class, Hackamore, and Bridle Class. When his reign as a Reined Cow Horse came to an end he was put out to pasture with some lady friends. His oldest colts are now in the bridle. Several of them are offered for sale at the Annual Van Norman & Friends Horse Sale in Elko, Nevada. Some of his babies that have been sold have gone on to follow in their father's footsteps in the Reined Cow Horse world, which is why he was named Nevada Stallion of 2012 and 2016. His colts are known for being very cowy, a lot of willingness and very versatile. These colts you can do anything on. You can rope on them. work cows and trot up to the mountain and still have a horse left. Keep an eye out for upcoming two and three-year-olds for sale.
