Location

Hashknife Horses is a major part of a family operated horse and cattle ranch located just south of Ryegate, Montana and named after the Hashknife brand that was given to Brandon by his grandfather Yates Allen.

This symbol brand has been in the family nearly 100 years!

Tradition

Brandon trained his first horse at age 9 while learning from his father and grandfathers!

He continues with a tradition that began countless generations before, originating on both his parents’ sides of the family.

Our ancestors are known as accomplished horsemen and cattlemen who made their living off the back of a horse. Brandon continues the tradition of horsemanship and training passed to him from his grandfathers Yates Allen and Wayne Carpenter, as well as his father Tex Carpenter.

This tradition and heritage is now being passed on to Brandon’s sons, Calen and Braden, with the unwavering support of their mother, Lisa.

Sales

We are NOT a horse trading business!

Our clients come to us for animals that we breed and train on our own to perform as working or pleasure horses.

We do not purchase previously trained horses for finishing, or improved, training for purposes of speculation sales.

Occasionally, as demand exceeds our supply, we will carefully screen and purchase a young untrained horse. We put that horse through our training and have it available for sale only AFTER it proves itself.

Facility

Our ranch overlooks the beautiful Musselshell Valley in south central Montana where we are witness to the view of the Crazy, Belt, Snowy and Beartooth mountain ranges.

Our facility is simple and gadget free! We pride ourselves on starting colts straight, with no gimmicks.

We enjoy sharing the love we have of our horses and all horses. It is important to us to help educate horse owners about not only our gaited horses, but all breeds alike.
