Horse Breeding

Our location in Southwest Colorado is ideal for breeding robust and healthy horses. Our horses breathe some of the cleanest air in the world, and experience year round grazing, which helps them build a strong constitution. Our horses have many, many acres to roam and exercise as a family unit increasing their physical and mental fitness.

Cloud Horses was established as a specialized breeder of quality gaited horses in 1998. Since then we have strived to produce the best possible characteristics in our horses. We have expanded our breeding program to include performance horses.

Rather than producing the maximum number of offspring, we have carefully selected and trained our stock for both physical strength and positive, trainable personalities.
