The brand the Weaver horses carry was recorded in 1888 by the Weaver family, and horses have been raised on this ranch since that time. The ranch is recognized as producing some of the top horses in the United States and folks have flocked to Great Falls from coast to coast and border to border to attend the sale in the past. For the past several sales, 84% of all horses have gone to repeat buyers. This year, one notable thing about the Weaver sale is the featured offering of three stallions: Ima Bit of Heaven, PC Joes Frost and Weavers Heaven Tuf.

Ima Bit of Heaven is a 1996 stallion out of Smart Little Lena and Peppys From Heaven, who is a full sister to Peptoboonsmal. “Ima” is listed in Equi-Stats as a leading sire of Reined Cow Horses for 2008. His colts are money earners in reining, cutting, and reined cow horse as well as point earners in AQHA reining, cutting, working cow horse, team penning and ranch sorting.

PC Joes Frost is a 1998 chestnut stallion out of Sun Frost and PC Dox Gemini Rose. He is an AQHA World Show Qualifier in Heeling and the sire of the high selling colts in the 2002 and 2003 sales. He sires big, powerful colts with excellent temperaments. Joe can be ridden by anyone - he will step up to win a roping or let the kids take him around the pasture.

The Weaver prefix is seen in the cutting circles, reining circles, working-cow horse circles, and these horses also work well for general ranch work.

The sale catalog will be posted at the Weaver Quarter Horse website, www.weaverhorses.com in mid-August. More information can also be found at the website. The Weavers, Fords, and Crowleys extend a warm thank you to all buyers and bidders for their confidence in the program over the years and look forward to seeing everyone again this year. All families welcome visitors to their respective ranches. The sale will be held Saturday, September 19, 2009 at the ExpoPark Fairgrounds in Great Falls, MT.
