Welcome to Dandelion Range!

Wild horses are carefully herded into the range for capturing by the most experienced roper and his trusty steed.

Grant Hunter and his stallion, Buckaroo’s Bandit.

PICTURE COMING SOON

Grant has ridden Bandit for 10 years and he’s been roping for even longer. He rode Bandit through the annual Chincoteague Pony Penning and roped over 50 horses for the buyers. Bandit is a registered American Quarter Horse who has a deep connection with Grant. Bandit started out as a barrel horse, but as Grant improved his skill, he started to become known for his ability to keep Grant close to what he was roping with only verbal commands.

—Overview—

Grant catches 5 horses for each round up and sells them at the Dandelion Roundup (DR). The wild horses are kept for two weeks before they are re-released back into their herd. Genetic Tests are available when the horse is bought. Grant can search for specific horses and bring them to the DR. One horse from each herd is caught at a time.

—Breeding—

Lead mares and stallions can be bred to but not caught. Breeding is only allowed with your own horses or with the available broods and studs, including Buckaroo’s Bandit.

There are three breeding tokens-

Color Token- This token guarantees a flashy coat color

Pattern Token- When this token is used, the foal is guaranteed to have a flashy pattern

Mystery Token- Mysterious beings, twins, and triplets have been seen when this token is used.

—Genetic Tests—

Coming Soon

Genetic tests can be bought to see what type of foals your horse is capable of producing. Wild horses have not had genetic tests. Some broodmares and studs are geneticly tested, while others are not. *Horses that have not had their genetics tested can still be bred*
