A few words from Joe Heim....................

  "As a youngster I took an oath to myself to never retire from the professional world of breeding, training, and showing cutting and reining performance quarter horses. I was impressed with the ranches and the horses in those days. The King Ranch, the 6666 Ranch, the Pitchfork Ranch, and the Waggoner Ranch are among the ranches that stood out in my mind then and still do. Horses such as Rex Cauble's Cutter Bill, Poco Bueno, Hollywood Gold, Doc Bar and who could ever forget Don Dodge on Poco Lena!

My friend, Matlock Rose, once said that working for someone else isn't as difficult as being on your own. Over time; with hard work, diligence, and luck, I built a clientele one owner and one year at a time. The reward has been quiet memories, financial security, and self employment.

I've been a member of the N.C.H.A. for most of my life as well as the N.R.H.A. and the N.R.C.H.A.  My first teachers were legends like Buster Welch and Shorty Freeman. While in their employ, I saw great horses such as Little Peppy, Mr. San Peppy, Dry Doc, Docs Quixote, Freckles, and Doc O'Lena on a daily basis. Even after I became an N.C.H.A. Hall of Fame Riider, my fellow professional trainer friends encouraged me to further my skills and compete in other events. That's why I'm so proud of being a N.R.H.A. Champion and a top ten rider at the N.R.C.H.A. Snaffle Bit Futurity.  By broadening my horizons I also advanced my skills as a horseman and trainer.

My ranch is conveniently located seven miles north of Gainesville, Texas at Exit 5 on I-35 North; between Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Fort Worth, Texas; in the heart of performance quarter horse country. It's always a pleasure to meet newcomers as well as visit with old friends, so feel free to call or stop by and see me anytime."
