Welcome to Spotz Farm the former home of beautiful spotted (pinto) Saddlebred horses located in Roseburg, Oregon, USA.  Our farm mission is to produce the very best Spotted American Saddlebreds possible to be used as show and breeding horses so that the public can enjoy the rare and charismatic color. We don't want to sacrifice quality and athleticism as we see so often with "color breeders." We try to "take the spots off of the horse." Then we ask ourselves:
 

•       Is this a good Saddlebred?

•       Does it look like the standard?

•       Does this horse drive off of its hocks and carry its shoulders?

•       Is this horse built upright in carriage?

•       Does the horse have quality and refinement?

•       Are the ears placed well and shapely?

•       Are the eyes large and expressive?

•       Are the legs long in proportion to the body, clean and straight?

•       Is the shoulder long and laid back?

•       Is the neck upright and longer on the top than the bottom?

•       Does the throat latch hinge at the poll and will it carry a bridle?

•       And finally, does this individual have ambition and forward motion with courage and heart"?

Sounds like a lot to ask of a small gene pool?  That is why we are constantly bringing in better bloodlines with the homozygous pintos who's DNA only allows then to produce pinto offspring.  Imagine that?  The best bloodlines with spots! So with all of my knowledge as a horse breeder and judge, we try to combine what we have available and produce the best that we can.    For quality control, start with taking a picture of the pinto horse, color in the spots and make the horse a solid.  Place this picture next to what you think is the very best American Saddlebred standard.  Now set your goals to produce that horse with spots.
                                                       Good Luck!

WGC Buck Rogers    and Chubasco   were great champion show horses.
