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 7th 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 .
