Welcome to R Diamond Ranch Cutting and Performance Horses.

We are located 10 minutes west of Red Deer, Alberta and 5 minutes east of Sylvan Lake. This is the home of the stallions "Doc Zans Rx", and "Handsom Haida". This is also where our mare "Catjumpedovertheboon" was raised, as well as her daughter by "BET ON ME 498 ", "BETTIN OVER THE BOON". We are very excited with the new foals we have had this last spring. We have a real nice stud colt by the stallion "SEVEN FROM HEAVEN"out of our Genuine Peppy mare(SOLD),as well we have a stud colt by our stallion "HANDSOM HAIDA",out of our "DOCS LENA DOC"mare .We also have a solid stud colt by our stallion "DOC ZANS RX"out of our mare who is a grandaughter of the great "SECRETARIAT". We have some EXCITING expectations for 2007 as well!

We also have the pleasure of raising our miniuture donkeys which can be seen on "BEANIE MAE"S LI"L ASSESTS, as well as our new pair of breeding Catahoulas from Texas "Blue"&"Jasper". We have had their second and last litter of puppies on the May 30 2007.We are now excepting names for the waiting list. All pups haved "Glass" eyes, and are very colorful

The Stallions

Doc Zans Rx (WINNINGEST SON of"SKIP ZAN PARR")who is a son of the great "ZAN PARR BAR"

We bred and raised "Doc Zans Rx", (JR) here on the ranch. He was the champion at the CANADIAN SUPREME & ARCHA SNAFFLE BIT FUTURITIES.

When JR was four, he was shown in the ARCHA and CANADIAN SUPREME OPEN WORKING COWHORSE. In this class he competed against older seasoned horses. Again in 1999 he won both championships.

In 2001 he again won the ARCHA CHAMPIONSHIP and was fifth at the CANADIAN SUPREME.

With the interest in breeding, it was at this time we decided to retire JR from the show arena and bring him home.

Handsom Haida- first foal to show "HAIDAS GENUINE PEPPY" WINNINGS $15,000+

(Rooster) is a Texas stallion.He is an own son of "HAIDAS LITTLE PEP"out of an own daughter of "SMART LITTLE LENA","IMASMARTLITTLESUGAR"(get earnings over $500,000)(go to our stallion page for more stats) We purchased him as a coming two year old.

"Rooster" was trained and shown in the aged events.

He was finalist in many of the shows he competed in.

Out of convenience to our breeding program we moved "Rooster" home as a five year old year.

He was shown at the ARCHA Open Cutting where he achieved "RESERVE CHAMPIONSHIP".

We are very pleased with the results of all our foal crops. All are straight and correct. They definitely have good minds, kind eyes, followed by confirmation and athleticism. With the cross section of mares bloodlines "JR" and "Rooster" have bred, it is clear that both stallions "Strenght"s & "willingnesss" to excel are mirrored in their foals.

CONGRATULATIONS!

We are very pleased to annouce that HANDSOM HAIDA'S first foal to be shown, Haidas Genuine Peppy wins the 2005 ARCHA and CANADIAN SUPREME FUTURITY, shown by John Swales. In 2006 he was "RESERVE CHAMPION" at the Canadian Supreme 4year old OPEN HACKAMORE CLASS.CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL ! You did us proud! WE ARE OFFERING AT THIS TIME THE 2005 FULL SISTER -"HAIDAS GENUINE SUGAR" FOR SALE.

About Us

Our goal is to produce "Good" PERFORMANCE & RANCH horses.

We have a strong commitment to improving the bloodlines and in doing so began showing the offspring, with very impressive results.

Now, not only do we want to produce good Ranch horses, we are also striving to produce quality show horses. We want the horses we produce to firstly be good "USING" horses, that appeal to the full spectrum of the performance horse industry.

There are many good people that have contributed to the success of our program. We are always striving to improve and put together a good horse and we've had a lot of help along the way. We've made many good friends in the business and always look forward to seeing them and their FUTURE CONTENDERS.
