Update on Black Jack …

Thank you to everyone who shared our post and video about Black Jack. He was born on our ranch and has been a member of our family, raising Ethan, our grandkids and being an integral part of the memories of so many visitors for the past 20 years that it was critical to us that he went to a really great home.

With your help and the power of social media he had a line of potential suitors within a few hours and we went to bed that night knowing he was going to be loved and adored by our dear friends the Copelands, the guests that visit their ranch in Amistad, NM .

Best of all? Jack is going to get plenty of kisses and hugs, and probably more than a few treats from the Copeland’s two adorable granddaughters!

And yes, he looked pretty sweet in that red bow Christmas Morning!

We will be looking for the right families for a few other horses in the coming months. Please keep us in mind for top quality Family Ranch Horses!

Clearview Horses have great minds, good manners, sound structure, athletic, cowy, pretty faces and trained to get your job done!

How about a VERY special Christmas present for that someone special?

After MUCH family debate we have decided to see if there is a very special family out there looking for a great all-around seasoned, family-safe, aged gelding.

CV All Capital Letters “Black Jack or “Jack” AQHA #5278289 ‘05 Black Gelding

THE ULTIMATE FAMILY RANCH HORSE.

His owner is in college and Jack is just too nice to just be a pasture ornament while he has so many good years left.
One of the last son’s of the great stud, Capital Letters, “Jack” was born and raised on R.W. Hampton’s Clearview Ranch, and trained by Kerry Kuhn Horsemanship.

Jack is a little under 15 hands, solid black feet, and the horse everyone wants to ride. From cowboys to kiddos and everyone in between. He has proven safe for all of our visitors, including 1st riders, kiddos and even grandmothers, ages 3–83.

A true ranch horse — Jack is handy in the pasture or the pen. He will hold a rope if you are doctoring alone, go anywhere you want, chase cattle or round up the other horses. He’s been there and seen it, which shows in his quiet, confident demeanor.

Jack was the main character, Chase Garland’s horse in the 2022 film, “Peace River” and is unfazed by stunts, drones, crowds, noise, & chaos. He’s done parades, grand entries, carries a flag, loads easily, crosses water and bridges, and handles new situations calmly.

An excellent trail horse with real miles — including a two-day ride across New Mexico during The Long Trail Home for the Semper Fi Fund in fall 2014, ridden by an 8-year-old alongside busy highways with eighteen-wheelers, through towns, over bridges, rivers, canyons, and across central New Mexico’s prickly ranch country.

Jack will make an exceptional family horse and a meaningful Christmas gift — safe, seasoned, he is ready to be cherished & loved by a new family - and we want first option to buy him back if he is ever back on the market.

Jack is one of the family and has shared a lifetime of memories with us so this isn’t something we take lightly, nor is it a fire-sale. We know finding a good horse for your family these days is almost impossible and you can’t put a price on the true babysitters but contact us and we can talk 💰💰💰💰 and answer any questions. We’ve had no issues with Jack as far as health or bad habits his whole life but he sells as “age appropriate sound”. Coggins and open to basic vet check for the right home - references will be required.

I didn’t really stand a chance.

They say you are shaped 50% by your genetics and 50% by your environment.

I was going to be a horse lover.

Some of my earliest pictures are of me horseback in front of my Mom or Dad in the mountains of Central Oregon. As a matter of fact, I’m not sure it wasn’t my Dad’s cowboy hat that got mom’s attention even before she saw his dimples and that smile, way back in 1965…

Momma was an avid horse lover as far back as she can remember but growing up in small town Fort Wayne, Indiana in the 1940’s and 50’s she had to really campaign to get her first horse.

It took her until she was 15 when they bought and moved out to her grandparents farm. Her grandpa helped her find a little bay named Charley and someone came up with the $125 for him. And so it began.

Years later after finishing college her first order of business was to follow her dream and move West to Oregon so she could pursue her medical career somewhere where she could ride horses on ranches around cowboys.

It didn’t take her long before she caught the eye of a handsome, somewhat mischievous cowboy who happened to own Oscar the winning turtle in a Portland Oregon bar’s local turtle race. (But that’s another story) 😉

Mom’s love of horses and Dad’s love of mom eventually found them moving over to Central Oregon where they could ride and camp for days in the wilderness of the Cascade Mountains.

My arrival didn’t slow them down any and from the stories and looks of it they just packed me along in front at first, then behind them until I was finally old enough to ride on my own and they had my little brother to pack instead.

Mom loved anything with horses. She not only rode and camped in those mountains with Dad but also found every opportunity to ride the trails with her girlfriends, with me and even sometimes on her own. She found a few friend’s ranches we could help each spring and summer, and she hauled me to a million hours of 4 H lessons, club meetings, horse shows, and then hours more of jumping, dressage and eventually cutting and reining lessons and shows.

It wasn’t just our summers full of horses, it was year around, and she gained quite a collection of horses from time to time, including a season of adopting several rescue ponies and horses that needed last resort homes. To this day she still has two old timers she goes out and feeds daily.

So it was heart breaking to us but devastating to her when, after a couple of bad wrecks and her umpteenth back and neck surgery, her doctor told her no more riding. Ever.

For a dozen years or more (and even with the purchase of a new young horse) mom never gave up hope of riding again even though walking without her walker is now a struggle sometimes.

This past month while in New Mexico we got to make that dream come true for her in a small way thanks to our good horse Jack, our friend Pastor Chuck’s mounting block, and the presence of 3 strong boys for spotters and Bobby West.

At 82 years old Momma got back in the saddle again. And oh what fun we had that cold December day!

Love you Momma!

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” • Psalms 34:18

It is with a broken heart that we announce the passing of Dr. Glenn Blodgett, manager of the Four Sixes Ranch horse division for 40 years.

The impact Doc had in the Performance Horse world, and Quarter Horse world as a whole, is a legacy that will undoubtedly live forever.

Most knew Doc by his impact in the horse industry and his accolades, but we knew him as a dear friend, a man of integrity and character unmatched, a husband and a father. He truly lived by the Cowboy Code; faith, integrity, strength and excellence.
To know him was an honor, a privilege.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, and mourned greatly by his Four Sixes Family 💔
