About Us
Vaquero Ranch was conceived in 1985 when Ramiro Mejia first saw the Andalusian stallions of Ezequiel Peña. This was Ramiro's motivation to breed mares to those stallions in order to achieve that quality. Those successful breedings resulted in superb quality offspring. It was then that Ramiro decided to purchase his first stallions: Padrino K and a few others. From that point on, the horses of Vaquero Ranch have been sought after by famous entertainers such as Don Antonio Aguilar, Pepe Aguilar, Chapo de Sinaloa, Yesenia Flores and Joan Sebastian for their ability to perform and their striking beauty.
We are always striving for something unique and special and that is when Ramiro, without knowing a registry existed, decided to cross his friesian stallion to one of his Andalusian mares. What he was looking to attain was to have the best of both worlds e.g. the the fire, stamina & balance of the Andalusian; and the calm mind, high-set neck & big movement of the Friesian. That goal was attained with our Warlander stallion, HUMMER. You may view photos of Hummer in our "Horses" section.
At Vaquero Ranch, we breed for quality, not quantity- selecting bloodlines that combine functionality with beauty and elegance.
