Bath Brothers Ranch Randy & Laurie Dunn
B
ath Brothers Ranch - 159 years, same family, same ranch.
When the Bath Family arrived in this country in 1867, they brought horses. For over 150 years now, horses have grazed this same prai- rie. We feel blessed to be the 6th, 7th and 8th generations on this ranch and have the opportunity to continue raising great horses and passing along traditions. My ancestors, the Baths, came to Laramie in the spring of 1868. The railroad followed in the fall, and the Territory of Wyoming was formed. The Baths built the first wood- framed building in Laramie in 1869 before moving to the Little Laramie Valley to start raising cattle and horses. The Bath Brothers had a long and strong tradition of raising good using horses and reputation cattle. In the 1930’s, they raised Remount Horses for the government. They began raising Quarter Horses in the late 30’s, and became AQHA mem- bers in the early 40’s. My wife, Laurie, and I continue the 150+ year tradition of raising quality horses on the same ranch. We still use the family’s original AQHA number (7965) as our Life- time Membership, and carry on the same principles that have been handed down for eight generations in the Bath family. Our horses are easy keepers with good minds, speed, bone, and immense cow and athletic ability. Our ranch is one of the oldest work- ing ranches in Wyoming and our brand is one of the oldest recorded in the state. Our horses are raised in big, open pastures alongside our cattle. Our program includes grandsons and granddaughters of Blue Valentine, who we have suc- cessfully crossed with Driftwood to make exceptional multidiscipline performance horses. We use the horses we raise and feel they offer the genetic strength to perform and compete in any discipline or arena. We are ranchers raisin’ good horses! ~Randy Dunn
Proven Quality and Trainability Bath Brothers Ranch has an enduring dedication to raise horses with good minds, athletic ability, bone structure, and gentle dispositions. Our horses are raised in large natural Wyoming pastures alongside cattle, badgers, coyotes, and antelope. This exposure produces, intelligent, and highly adaptable horses that remain reliable in diverse situations—from day-to-day ranch work to high-stakes rodeo events. Billy Ward, a seven-time NFR pick up man, exclusively rode Bath Broth- ers horses for years, prior to his PRCA retirement – picking up major rodeos including Cheyenne Frontier Days (CFD) and the National Col- lege Rodeo Finals, as well as mounting dignitaries at the CFD Parades. Many of our horses have also partnered with teams from Frontier Ro- deo, consistently demonstrating their stamina, trainability, and pedigree excellence. Bath Brothers horses have also proven themselves across multiple PRCA disciplines, competing at major rodeos across the country with cowboys and cowgirls like: Guy Allen, Micky Gee, Derek Begay, Nick Rowland, and Julie Kisner to name few.
Commitment to Excellence The Bath family continues to prioritize foundation bloodlines, durability, temperament, and color, blending historic tradition with contemporary needs for performance and ranch use. Horses from Bath Brothers Ranch are known to be easy keepers, strong, and highly trainable, making them ideal choices for ranchers, enthusiasts, and professional competitors alike. Our 28th Annual Come to The Source Sale has something for everyone!

AQHA 50-Year Cumulative Breeding Award S ince Bath Brothers Ranch started registering offspring in 1943, we have registered over 900 horses. Our ranch has bred and raised over 5000 head dating back to the Ranch’s establishment in 1868. Since the 1800’s, all our horses have carried the Running M brand. Bath Brothers Ranch has used the Blue Valentine and Driftwood lines as the corner stone for our breeding program. Gooseberry, Ruano Rojo, Leo Hancock Hayes and Blues Beard were all sons of Blue Valentine that built our program to what it is today. Thanks to our good friend and sale partner, Chip Merritt, who owned Gooseberry, we raised Valentine Red Rogers. Through Ruano Rojo, we raised Like A Son Of Blue, and through Leo Hancock Hayes, we raised Hancock Wiggy Bar, Hancock Red Wiggy and many other grandsons as well. From Stanley and Randy Johnston, we incorporated the bloodlines of Orphan Drift and Poco Speedy. My Drifty Pride came to us from Porter Willis breeding program. The horses we’ve raised from our Blue Valentine Driftwood cross have sustained our program for more than 40 years. In that time, we produced AQHA World Show qualifiers in working cow horse and barrel racing. Along with countless winners in multiple events in PRCA Rodeos.
