the pastures of the ranch and their remote locations demand the use of horses that are both athletic and tough enough to be able to withstand the rigors of a typical day of work. These horses are used to brand calves, gather cattle, sorting cattle in the corrals as well as outside in a herd, check fence, gather horses, halter break weanling foals, doctor cattle and cover a whole lot of miles through all different kinds of country. These horses are hearty and live almost their whole lives out in pastures making a living. The Diamond A currently runs a remuda of 75 working saddle horses, 35 broodmares, 6 stallions, and 35 young geldings and fillies. All the horses are run outside in the same tough country they work in. The blood lines of the ranch are mostly from cow and ranch horse stock and include PopularResort Figure, Metallic Cat, Tanquery Gin, Doc O’Lena, Colonel Freckles, Peppy San Badger, Bueno Chex, Driftwood, Zan Parr Bar, PlayGun, Easy Jet, and Doc Tom Tucker. The horses and cowboys of the Diamond A are part of an old cowboy tradition that continues to live on throughout the southwest and with a strong dedication to people, cattle, and horses the Diamond A strives to continue as a leader in the industry.
