Welcome to the Brooks Quarter Horse Ranch!

The Brooks Ranch (est. 1899) is one of the largest Quarter Horse breeding and training facilities in Northern California. We have raised over 1,700 performance Quarter Horses over the last 5 decades. You will find our 7,000 acre paradise nestled 20 miles east of Oakdale in the rolling hills of California’s Gold Country.

This is a fitting place to roam free, and indeed each horse at the Brooks Quarter Horse Ranch spends much of its first two years roaming rocky hilltops and wide-open pastures. Such a natural start in life ensures a strong and confident horse prepared to accomplish your riding goals. Our young horses begin halter training around three months age. Then, at two years, the horses are brought into the barn to begin training in earnest. From this point on they are handled daily by experienced ranch hands.

The Brooks Ranch provides well started and trained horses from many of the finest American Quarter Horse bloodlines. Many of these horses are given real experience on our working cattle ranch. They are ready for cutting work - or are prepared to serve you as reined cow horses, rope horses, and absolute top performers in many disciplines.

Of course, after you ride a performance Quarter Horse, an average mount might seem to be just that - average. You too can enjoy the benefits of top breeding and are invited to consider the possibilities without obligation. Simply arrange to take a few test rides next to one of our trainers.

Our website’s contents include many short videos of our horses in action. But to really understand your options, call us or visit our friendly ranch. A fine horse is waiting for you...
