Curtis and
Liz started the C Bar L Ranch in 1994 with a small place in Bowie and a
large dream. In 1997 they acquired their stallion Pines Alliance and
started acquiring a couple of broodmares. They shortly outgrew that
place and bought their dreamland located between Sunset and
Forestburg. In 2001 their dream became a reality when they moved onto
the ranch. Today, they raise five to eight quality foals every year and
have expanded their breeding operation to include Appaloosas and
Palominos.
They
strive to produce horses that are good minded and can excel in many
different directions. Curtis and Liz have raised and trained all their
own horses. Liz has worked with horses in some sort or fashion since a
teenager in Junior High. In 2001, Liz started riding regularly with
Mark Shaffer
and has spent the last several years learning his outstanding program
"Mechanics in Motion". In 2003, with Marks encouragement, Liz decided to
forego her Amateur status and begin training full time. Today she keeps
10 to 15 horses in training. She still rides regularly with Mark Shaffer
and works with him at all the large Appaloosa shows.
