The Cactus Flower Ranch

The backbone of our breeding program is the late great Frosty Feature.

Frosty Feature (AA & ROM) was a Superior halter Horse.  He was a Grand Champion at the Denver Stock Show, an AQHA World Show qualifier, Register of Merit on the track as well as earning roping points.  Frosty was raced in halter condition; he went Grand Champion in halter one day and won his race the next day.  His sire, Truckle Feature (SI 113) was a World Track Record holder for 23 years. 

We have fallen in love with Frosty Feature horses and feel that this strong proven performance horse crossed with our broodmares that come from black type studs with blazing speed should produce not only a quality futurity colt but better yet a rodeo horse that will have a full and bountiful career.  Frosty Feature horses have proven to posses a HUGE heart, amazing physical ability and a willing and loving personality.
