CONGRATULATIONS!
to Sara Culpepper and CR Quilchina on making the state finals in the Texas
High School Rodeo Cutting Horse Competition. The
finals will be held in June. She scored a 65 and
a 70 in the last show at Gonzales to
qualify. Great job Sara! |
Welcome to Flying C Quarter Horses!
Being 6’-5” and weighing 280 pounds, a small, prototype
cutting horse probably wouldn’t remain sound for very long
with me as the jockey. Twenty years ago, a friend of mine
introduced me to a breeder that raises heavy boned, athletic
horses that have a long history of performing well in the
cutting pen. That breeder is Dix Turnbow. In the early ‘90’s
I owned a couple of his finished horses by Quilchina Bar by
Doc Tari out of Bar San, by Leo San. Quilchina
Bar won over $40,000 in his career and was never shown after
he was five years old. I rode these two horses for 3 years
and learned a lot from them. Then I bought a young horse,
also by Quilchina Bar from him that had about 9
months of training. That horse is Burr Quil and he is one of
the horses pictured at the top of the page. He’s now 18 and
can still do it. He has earned over $2000.00 in NCHA and
ACHA events. Two other Turnbow geldings I own are Flash Quil
and Mister Quixote China, both NCHA money earners.
I later bought Burr’s full sister, Mindy Quil, and she is my
base-line brood mare. All of my young show horses are out of
this mare. Three young mares are by Playin Stylish
and a five year old, red roan, gelding is by Mister
Peppys Freckles. I have a two year old gelding by
Sophisticated Catt that is in training here at the
ranch. I also have a yearling filly by Fantastic Cat
that will go into training this December. All of these
horses possess a lot of bone, a good disposition, and they
are easy on the eyes.
Another prospect that Carol owns is by Sophisticated Catt
out of my oldest Playin Stylish mare, CR Stylish Cheena. He
is a two year old gelding currently in training here at the
ranch. He shows lots of bone mass, athleticism, and cow.
Browse our site and see pictures of all show horses and
prospects either at major shows or working in the practice
pen here at the ranch. Contact me at

Mike Crumpler, Sr. is my resident trainer here in Llano. He
is especially good starting young horses, giving them time
to develop their skills. He also concentrates on working
with Non-Pros and Amateurs and trains their horses to work
and show at their level. You can contact him at
llanocutter@msn.com
or 325.423.4734.
