HAYTHORN RANCH COMPANY 25497 E. HAYTHORN RD • MAXWELL, NE 69151 • (308) 520 – 4017 Haythorn Ranch company is located in the Sandhills of Nebraska along the Platte River Valley, near the town of Maxwell. It is comprised of 20,000 acres of grass, meadow hay, and sweet water from the Ogallala Aquifer and is primarily a cow-calf operation, running up to 1,500 head. The Haythorn Legacy began more than 135 years ago when a 16- year-old Harry Haythornthwaite, later shortened to Haythorn stowed away on a ship bound for the US and when discovered was forced to pay for his passage by taking care of some white-faced bulls headed for Galveston, Texas. Upon arrival, he was hired by the man who imported the bulls and for the next eight years learned what it took to be a cowboy. He made multiple trips up the Texas trail where he found the Great Plains to his liking and opened a livery stable in Ogallala, Nebraska and later married Emma Gilpin. The couple filed on a land grant section four miles east of Arthur, Nebraska, and an American ranching dynasty was born. Entering its 6th generation of traditional ranching, the Haythorn Ranch Company has been breeding American Quarter Horses since before the registry’s inception in 1940. They are the 2009 recipient of the AQHA Best Remuda Award. Currently, the ranch breeds 15 to 25 mares a year and runs 20 to 40 saddle horses on their Bermuda pastures. These horses are bred to have good bones and feet, plenty of muscle, and a kind disposition with lots of cow sense. Their horses are versatile and can be used by a wide variety of people for anything that can be done horseback.
