The Murray family has been in the “horse bidness” since “who flung the chunk”. As a young man in the early 1900’s, Henry Murray drove horses from Greeneville, Texas to San Antonio, Texas where he traded the stock for mules. He and his cohorts then drove the mules to Ft. Worth where they were sold to freighters. Henry always was ready for “the trade”. In his business of preparing, treating and delivering handles for all types of hand tools, he traveled all over the 4 States (Texas, Ark, Ok, La) area on a regular basis and therefore was always on the lookout for “the deal”.

  Sometime in the 1950’s, Henry took a liking to Tennessee Walking Horses and thus began a long history of showing Walking Horses around the country. My father, Herb Murray, was always involved in Henry’s handle business and his horse business. This was equally true of the show-horse circuit. Even though he is, by trade, a civil engineer, he's always loved the horse. In the early 1970’s, Dad got in the cattle business and although he continued to own Walking Horses and keep a colt or two with the trainers (and still does today), his interests shifted to “usin’ horses” as we always called them growing up. They were a necessity on the ranch where Dad raised registered Brangus cattle.

  Today, although the Brangus have been largely dispersed (after 30 distinguished years as a seedstock producer), Dad still enjoys the usin’ horses. He’s taken foundation bred mares and crossed them to some of the top NRCHA producing stallions as well as cutting bred stallions, kept a few here and there to use himself, and tried to always keep in view the end product........which is an all around performance horse.

  That genetic seems to have passed on to my family. You’ll see a significant number of Dad’s mares and their offspring on this website. We’ll identify them accordingly, however, we’ve taken the same approach in beginning to establish our own program. We’re very attracted to the cutting horse industry as you’ll see in our mares and breeding program but we are perhaps just as excited about the cowhorse competitions and we have future plans to move into reiners as well!

  We’ll share more history and try to share our vision in the ensuing pages. Welcome to our “Web-Home”. We hope you’ll feel comfortable here. Take your shoes off and sling your leg up over end of the sofa and enjoy your stay.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.
