Testimonials from BV&D Sales
The Bridges’ family from Georgia have purchased two colts in the Blue Valentine & Driftwood Sale. “We are Wade, Angel & Cameron Bridges from Georgia and we couldn’t be more thrilled with our colts from Lauing Ranch in South Dakota. In 2023, we purchased Lot #67, a lovely grullo roan colt by LR Plenty Fox Coup & LR A Bonny Crusader and the 2024 “Kids Bid” blue roan colt, Lot #40 out of JM Rowdy Blue Hayes & LR Kloey Hancock! Both
of these colts have exceeded our expectations in terms of structure, temperament, bone, and work ethic. JD Lauing has been fantastic to work with, always available to answer our questions before the auction starts. Their expertise in breeding exceptional working and pleasure quarter horses truly shows, providing quality horses for every member of our family.” We’re also thrilled to share our experience with the 2024 “Kids Bid” colt we purchased, Lot #40 out of JM Rowdy Blue Hayes & LR Kloey Hancock! Our son had an amazing time participating in the online bidding process and was overjoyed when he won the bid. If he had his choice, we would have been bidding on many more. We set him up with his own computer, logged him in and let him bid. We couldn’t be happier with our new colt, who is not only very laid back but also incredibly easy to work with and easy on the eyes. JD truly knows how to select the perfect colt for this program, and our son has loved every moment spent with him—he’s become a wonderful addition to our family! We’re really excited and grateful to Lauing Ranch, for the opportunity to get the youth involved in the buying process!” — Wade, Angel & Cameron Bridges, Georgia
“In the 2021 Blue Valentine and Driftwood Heritage Production Sale, I purchased LR Rowdy Blue Hancock, “Otis” as a weanling. When Otis stepped off the trailer as just a little guy, he was friendly with a sweet personality. Today as a 16.3 hand 1,400 pound 4-year-old, he’s still has a friendly and sweet personality! Since I’m a big guy at 6’6” and a just a biscuit away from 270, I needed a big horse. JD Lauing helped point out the colt that would be right for us. Later we paired him up with a good start by Becky Amio Horse Training. Otis has been everything I wanted and more. Together JM Rowdy Blue Hayes and a Revue Hancock daughter produced a great blend of size, bone, and temperament that is perfect for me. Otis is my go-to horse for our big mountain rides in Idaho.
Whether it’s climbing 2,000 feet or riding 14 miles, Otis is up for it all as just four years old. Water, wildlife, rocky terrain, steep climbs and steep descents are the norm for our rides. The combination of mind, size, bone, and breeding of a Lauing Horse with a Becky Amio Horse Training’s start has made Otis a stellar horse for me. — Ben Bainbridge, Idaho
