WEATHERFORD, TEXAS (June 25, 2025) – Teton Ridge, a leading Western sports and entertainment company, will host an absolute dispersal of its performance horse bloodlines on September 29, 2025, at TR9 Ranch in Weatherford, Texas, with horse viewing available the day prior on September 28. This one-day sale will feature a lineup of championship-caliber horses from one of the most respected programs in the Western performance world.
This exclusive dispersal represents a planned conclusion of Teton Ridge’s active breeding and sales program, as the company refocuses its efforts on expanding its footprint across Western sports, media, and live events. From the recent acquisition of The Cowboy Channel, giving Teton Ridge the largest portfolio of exclusive PRCA media rights, to the pages of Cowboys & Indians magazine and leadership in Pro Fantasy Rodeo, to the production of flagship events such as The American Rodeo and upcoming The American Performance Horseman, Teton Ridge has become a cultural and entertainment powerhouse in the Western world.
Since its inception, Teton Ridge has made an undeniable impact on Western sports through the strategic acquisition and development of some of the most influential horses ever to enter the arena. Teton Ridge’s breeding program has redefined the genetic future of Western performance horses, producing championship bloodlines that will endure for generations.
“Our performance horse program has been foundational to Teton Ridge’s growth and identity,” said Deirdre Lester, CEO of Teton Ridge. “This next step allows us to honor that legacy while evolving with intention, expanding our focus across Western sports, media, and live experiences, and continuing to support the equine athletes and communities that are core to the culture we’re helping shape.”

At the center of that success is TR9 Ranch, a premier facility that has been home to industry-defining athletes, including:
● Smooth Talkin Style (“Talker”), ranked among the Top 10 Leading Sires with offspring earnings of more than $9 million in cutting and reined cow horse competition
● Third Edge, 2022 NCHA Open Horse of the Year, 2022 NCHA Open Derby Champion, and 2023 inductee into the NCHA Open Hall of Fame.
Beyond the show pen, Teton Ridge has consistently set new standards in elite sales. At the 2024 Western Bloodstock NCHA Futurity Preferred Breeders Sale, yearling Spice Tag, daughter of the legendary All Spice captivated the industry, selling for $335,000 as the event’s high seller. Year after year, Teton Ridge horses continue to dominate the market and reinforce the power, prestige, and consistency of the program.
“We are proud of what we’ve built and the horses that have become synonymous with our program,” said John Sanislow, general manager of TR9 Ranch. “Now, we are honored to open the gates and share that opportunity with others.”
