Horses are a
great part of the ranch. For five generations, the
ranch has been in the hands of horse enthusiasts
that have endeavored to raise good horses. We take
our hats off to the horses for all they have done.
Not that long ago they were used for all the haying,
feeding, fencing, and of course - cowboying. Before
that they were also used for the clearing of the
ranch’s fields, getting the kids to school,
transportation and pleasure. They are still used for
all our cowboying and for sport and pleasure.

The ranch has also always raised horses
to sell. Years ago, there were 200 head in the
broodmare band, now there are 25. Millers and their
hired help break and train the colts on the ranch and
season them with ranch work. The Miller Family all love
horses and have spent a lot of time in the saddle and
cowboying - they do all of their cow work horseback.
Mike has been very successful training his own colts
and showing in reined cow horse where you cut, rein and do fence
work, he is one of the top all time non-pro money
earners in the NRCHA. Due to work on the ranch, he
only makes a few shows a year. Mike and the boys rope
whenever they get a chance and all like training rope
horses. Will and Wes are both top notch ropers. Wes especially
is a very serious roper and the grandsons are really
coming along. Kaleb and Blue are also very good young
ranch hands. Tara likes to help them cowboy and train
an occasional barrel horse. A lot of everyone's horse
training gets done while ranching. Seldom does
a day go by, if any, without working on and with horses
on the Miller Land & Livestock.
We do not stall anything. The horses are
raised in big country which makes them healthy and
lets them be horses.

Mike believes that a good horse is good
at anything. Millers pay attention to every
characteristic that makes a good horse. Horses
remain very important to Miller Land and Livestock.
