Our focus at All the King's Horses is on breeding high quality European Brabant and Brabant Stock horses.  In 2019, we travelled in Europe to meet breeders and explore the homeland of the breed.  We have imported several fillies as well as a weanling stud colt to be the future of our program. In addition to breeding, our horses spend the winter working in the woods as part of our business Logging with Horses.  This helps to ensure that the animals we are breeding have sound minds and a good work ethic along with their stunning looks.  It also keeps everyone healthy and in good condition.

Limestone Farms has once again being turned to an animal farm, with horses now being the focus. Limestone Farms specializes in European Brabant draft horses and mules.

Providing equines with a place of refuge. Every horse and donkey deserves kindness, love and respect. They are worthy of a chance at a new life and we are here to give them that opportunity. REDHAWKRANCH EQUINES INC was created to facilitate the rescue and protection of draft/draft cross horses and burros/donkeys from slaughter, abuse and neglect.

Draft/draft crosses are unique. These gentle giants are usually more difficult to handle and expensive to raise.
The drafts’ long eared cousins are being neglected and abandoned too frequently today by owners and need the safe haven of a rescue.
