Color and Ears Ranch where Color meets performance
Color and Ears Ranch is located in the beautiful equestrian town of Apple Valley. Color and Ears Ranch is dedicated to raising performance paint horses that can hold their own in halter too. We feature a registered American Paint Horse Stallion Smokey Illusion and we also have two registered Paint Horse Brood Mares Rowena Hancock and Daddy Cant Sing which produce beautiful offspring which are for sale. We have a two year old paint horse named Shy Painted Moon. Shy is built for performance, have outstanding athletic ability and are very quick learners. Our horses are built for performance but also do very well in halter classes. Smokey Illusion has won over 2,000.00 in prizes both halter Western Performance and English Pleasure. Smokey has a baby Smokeys Melody who is now a yearling and will be competing in Paint shows. We raised a champion loungeline paint horse named Lily Cat Hancock who will now be showing in Colorado.
