If you like to compete, then check out the Ranch Horse Show Page.  Starting February 2012 we will be holding Ranch Horse competitions in our indoor arena.  Thanks to JR Reichert for the $500 donation to kick off the February competitions!

2012 ~ Happy New Year!  From our family to yours, we wish you all the best in the New Year, we appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the years to come. 

6% ~ that’s our new commission rate on horses for 2012!    We can’t uphold our motto “In the Business of Horse Business” if you can’t make a profit and stay in business.  We appreciate your patronage and hope cutting our commission from 8% to 6% helps you be a little more profitable. 

 0 – 400 = 0 ~ that’s our new policy should you decide not to sell your horse (No Sale) through the ring.  If the offer in the ring is between 0 and $400.00 and you decide not to sell, we are charging you $0 No Sale charge!  The $25.00 No Sale charge still applies to all offers over $400.00 rejected in the ring.

“I’m doin’ seventy-two in a sixty-five,

On I-24 in a four-wheel drive……

numbers all around, flying by, ups and downs…..

and we all wonder, what they mean,

the highs, the lows, the in betweens,

most of them mean absolutely nothing,

but some of them mean everything…..”

Here’s everything you need to know about our numbers….

We think you will agree, the numbers at Belle Plaine Western Exchange

lead you to believe you “should be doin’ sixty-five in a fifty-five,

on Hwy. 21, pullin’ a load of five, to get the best numbers….

it’s all about our numbers!!!!”
