Testimonials

I have had lots of horses from different places in the US and also in Mexico. When I found these horses from Memory Ranches I was very satisfied. They are different from the rest and are very versatile with lots of athleticism. They are always willing to rope or go to work. I have a degree in Horse Science and I think these horses are the real deal when it comes to roping.

We have had the privilege of hauling/seasoning several rope horses for Memory Ranches. We liked them so well that we now own 6 horses raised by them. We haven't had a miss yet. Speed, agility, disposition, and versatility are predominant in Pearce's breeding program, making our job of training and competing on them easy! We are lifetime customers.

I have shipped a lot of calves for customers who use Memory Angus Ranch bulls. The ranchers like the bulls and the buyers love the performance of the calves.

We really enjoyed our White Lightning Ike gelding. He was such a versatile and athletic horse. Won and placed at ropings and rodeos on both ends in the team roping, breakaway and calf roping. Hope to one day have another Memory Ranch gelding.

I bought Mack four months ago. He is a phenomenal horse. He is only 6 years old and I have been winning big ropings in Mexico. Thank you, Luke, for producing such nice horses.

I bought Coil as a three-year-old from Memory Ranches 2015 sale. He’s very consistent. Same when you get on him as when you got off him a week ago. Doesn’t mind stuff—isn’t spooky or looky. He absolutely loves roping. He’s very cowy and has got a lot of speed. He’s just good.

When we first got Stetson, he was so quiet and levelheaded that we were worried he wouldn't be able to run hard enough. But when he gets in the arena he's all business. He hasn't been out run yet. As a five-year-old we hauled him to some amateur rodeos and he handled those amazing and now as a six-year-old he's running at a state level in Junior High rodeo's in goat tying and breakaway roping. My daughter placed 4th in the first go at state in goat tying after only three weeks of training.

For 2 years running now my boys have won the Pennsylvania High School Rodeo team roping championship on Junior. They won the American Professional Rodeo Association heeler rookie of the year on Junior and went to the high school National finals in Wyoming on him as well. We have hauled and competed on him extensively and he’s great!

We calved 392 heifers this spring that were bred to Memory Angus Ranch bulls. We checked them only at feeding time. After calving was over we culled out 13 dry heifers.

I didn’t know if I’d ever find a replacement for my Mel Potter rope horse but Oxford has not disappointed me in any way. He’s big, strong, quiet in the box, super move in the corner, and looks great. This horse is a real working rope horse. Oxford has proven to be everything Luke and I discussed prior to the sale.

I run 300 head of black Angus cows and it was shipping season shortly after I got Concho. He had just turned four. I remember loading him in the trailer in the pitch dark with a flashlight. He is so kind to do anything you want. He's quiet. He's cowy. He'll hunt calves down in the pasture to do his job. He's so sweet. There's not a mean bone in his body. He's the most super minded horse I've ever had. And he's absolutely gorgeous! He's got the mind to go with the looks. I'm 63 years old and I think I finally found the perfect horse!

I bought Sackett at the last Memory Ranches’ production sale in late June 2015. The horse had never been off the ranch until we hauled him home to Pennsylvania. And 10 days later I was seasoning him to be a pick up horse at a rodeo on the Fourth of July. There was a large crowd and it was a large rodeo. He performed flawlessly. He even stood like a statue when the fireworks went off at the end of the performance. I've hauled him to dozens of rodeos since that first one and he has been a consistent performer. I've had multiple offers to buy him but if someone wants a good ‘MY’ horse they're going to have to travel to Idaho to get one. I'm not selling any of mine!

Thank you for having done such an outstanding job of developing the Driftwood/Joe Reed bloodline. The 7 Memory Ranch horses that my friends and I from Pennsylvania have purchased, have all been superb! They are the most 'cowy', athletic, 'no bottom', horses we could ever find. We team rope with them and they keep us competitive! Everyone now wants a horse with a MY brand! Looking forward to sharing the 2013 catalog with the guys.

I've been associated in production livestock my whole life and I have been buying bulls from Monty Pearce for 29 years. Pearce has Angus genetics better than anyone I've ever seen. Anything he's ever told me is absolute truth. His cattle are what he says they'll be. I managed the McEwen Ranch (2500 cow ranch) for 15 years. They were mediocre cattle. I started using Memory Ranch bulls and in four years of using them, the calves were top in the Winnemucca, Nevada video sale. I didn't get up at night to check heifers for calving. If you're a beginner just tell him what your cattle are and your goals and he can darn sure set you on the right path. Another factor that brought me back too was that his wife and daughters are darn good cooks!

I've had Prairie for almost 2 years now and have been very pleased with him. He is extremely versatile. You can head, heel, gather, brand, you name it. Then turn around and put a toddler on his back and he'll take care of them. He has lots of personality and is an easy keeper. Looking forward to my next Memory horse!

We want to tell you that we love Cimarron! Our horse and Cimarron have become good friends. John took Cimarron to a practice roping and he heeled and caught 8 out of 8. Hope to do business with you again!

After purchasing Buzz in June 2011, he has exceeded our expectations. I actually placed on him in his first competition at a local jackpot. He scores well and cannot be outrun. Buzz is proving to be a well-rounded horse and we are glad that he came to the Double T Ranch in 2011. We hope to be able to make the next sale!

LMP April Wood or Sox as we call her is just coming into her second full season of roping. Last year was just the beginning where she helped me win over $15k and qualify to rope for my first time in the World Series of Team Roping finale. The way she cows up and chases down steers, it’s almost like something personal to her. You can tell she loves her job and even though she can’t say it, she loves to win. I can’t wait to see what this next year has in store for us as she’s already been getting better in the practice pen. Everyone knows her by the way she works and that big ‘MY’ on her shoulder. A big, stout, fast, and very smart horse, yet gentle enough to put anyone on. She’s a great horse and the sky is the limit for her.

We are ranchers in Casper, Wyoming who have purchased 4 horses since 2011 from Memory Ranches Horse Sale. We've been very satisfied with the quality of the horses and the Memory Ranches brand always evokes respect at the team ropings when Roy brings home another trophy saddle. We have the highest regard for the integrity and honesty of the Pearce family and it's truly been a pleasure to consider them friends. We highly recommend the Memory Ranches Horse Sale and the Pearce family business transactions-"their word is their bond".

We purchased our Driftwood Stetson filly in November of 2016. She is the most level headed filly that we have ever owned. Love dealing with the folks at Memory Ranches. Our Suzie Q is growing and we couldn't be happier with her confirmation and of course that buckskin color.

Reno is the perfect combination of athletic ability and speed. He has been hauled to the pro rodeos heading and scores like a rock. And you never have to worry about being outrun! He has been hauled to a handful of jackpots and has taken to barrel racing like a fish to water. He can go from a flat out run to being ready to turn in one motion.

We love our Memory Ranch horse for both inside and outside of the arena. We have two horses from the Pearce's and have no complaints! Our Frosty Jay gelding "Joe" and Driftwood Stetson gelding "Tabasco" are outstanding ranch horses that were ready to go to work the day we got them home to California. Both horses are exceptional in the arena as well. Joe as a head horse and Tabasco as a breakaway/heel horse. Love them both—we can always count on them! Big thanks to Memory Ranches for supplying such great horses, mentally and physically. We look forward to this year’s sale and adding to our family's herd.

We bought Bourbon from you two years ago. We are doing just about everything off of him. My son picks-up on him, we have been heeling steers, and my daughter is now trick riding on him. He really has turned into a nice horse.
