From
Sunup customer David from North Dakota, who recently purchased a Watch
Tyree Two gelding: "Sorted then moved about 100 head to summer pasture
about 6 miles from home place. Through water, snow, mud, brush, trees,
over hills, even drug a calf to the trailer. This horse is everything
you said he was. He is absolutely solid. He did everything I asked him
to do. . . I can't thank you enough for representing this horse in such
an honest fashion. He is invaluable and will no doubt spend the rest of
his life working cattle in the hills of Western North Dakota."
We currenlty have prospects with endless potential and enduring pedigrees. Visit with us today about a Sunup-bred colt, filly or gelding.

Sunup Ranch Founder Barbara
Kettlewell is newest member of Minnesota Quarter Horse Association Hall
of Fame Congratulations to Barbara Kettlewell, who with Reed founded Sunup Ranch more than 60 years ago. Barbara was inducted into the Minnesota Quarter Horse Association Hall of Fame at the group's annual convention in January. In the induction ceremony, MQHA Secretary Gloria Enger noted that Barbara bought her first horse with $35 earned from the sale of her bike and ping-pong table. She went on to purchase Sunup's founding sire George Paul (see story below), and the rest is history. Barbara still lives on the ranch and loves her horses, and she would be thrilled if you stopped in or called to chat about Quarter Horses. Pictured at right: Barbara receiving her award with daughters Jennie and Vickie, and son-in-law Greg Booth. Click here to go to the Sunup Ranch 2011 video. |

 In 1952
George Paul was bought as a weanling, sight-unseen, from the Nicholson
Ranch in Oklahoma. He was bought on a dream. He was a son of Bert and
out of the mare N.R. Jacci X Star Deck X Oklahoma Star. N.R. Jacci's
dam was N.R. Queen X Bert. Bert was a son of Tommy Clegg.Little did we know how much George would mean to Sunup's breeding program. He truly put us in the business. He had great speed and agility, traits from his sire, plus he had a lot of type, with muscle expression, heart girth and symmetry. He sired horses with great versatility, conformation and kind dispositions. Today, most of our mares carry George Paul in their pedigrees. He sired multiple AQHA champions; multiple ROMs; multiple APHA champions; multiple Futurity winners; multiple Get of Sire wins; Halter & Perf. pt.-earners; NCHA COA and money-earners. In the January 2006 Quarter Horse Journal you'll find George Paul listed as the grand-sire of Beau Bonanza, the 15th All-time leading open halter point-earning stallion. |
