Welcome to Keilen Ranch! Keilen Ranch is an 80 acre ranch located in central British Columbia in beautiful Cariboo Country. Because I make my living within the forest industry, I thought it was appropriate to pay tribute to the forests by naming my foals with the suffix 'del bosque'...or 'of the forest'. Keilen Ranch is 'El Cortijo del Bosque'... or 'the little farmhouse of the forest'.... My pure Spanish horses are raised naturally in a herd environment. I believe that raising horses as they were meant to be is the best way for them to reach their full potential......both mentally and physically. That being said, I also handle and care for my horses on a daily basis - they are an integral part of the family and receive lots of affection and attention. I handle the foals from birth so they bond with humans more readily and see human interaction as a positive and rewarding experience right from the start. My goal is to raise the ideal pure Spanish horse while still remaining true to the breed standard. I breed for more of the traditional style Spanish horse with presence, substance, and short-coupled builds. I strive for horses that are not only correct and beautiful, but ones that have willing minds, are superb athletes, and make outstanding partners for their humans. I know that breeding horses is a challenging endeavour but I truly love it and I feel that this will easily be reflected in my horses. My training/handling methods are based on
those of Ray Hunt, Bill Dorrance, and Tom Dorrance... a true foundation
of horsemanship.
Nothing tops the feeling of a horse willingly forming a
partnership with their human. I have been using these fundamentals since the late
1980s and have never been disappointed with the results. I welcome all inquires about my horses or the Andalusian breed in general. There is a reason these horses are known as 'The Horse of Kings'....come see for yourself....
