Branch River Ranch Andalusians - Home Of National Champion Foundation Mares

At Branch River Ranch, we place a strong emphasis on the importance of top quality foundation mares as they are the basis of our breeding program. Through our carefully planned breeding program, we are able to define exactly what our foundation mares are capable of producing. By having this understanding of our mares, and also of our stallions, we are able to produce the very best qualities in our offspring and introduce these remarkable qualities to other breeds, as well.
