Each Spring the Four Sixes Ranch cowboys make selections from the ranch’s remuda to build their herd, replacing the horses they offered to the public during our annual Return to the Remuda Sale. The cowboys were able to make their selections the third week of April and many of the horses that were at Road to the Horse 2019 entered the cowboy’s programs to further their education and may be available sometime in the future at our annual sale.

The 2019 Return to the Remuda Sale will be October 4^th and 5^th at the Four Sixes Ranch in Guthrie, Texas. Please follow the event on Facebook and watch for updates on www.6666ranch.com.

In addition to the overall title, Dowers was awarded the Jack Brainard Horsemanship Award for his outstanding ability to observe, analyze, and apply horsemanship methods that are best suited to each individual colt’s personality.

Road to the Horse 2019 also hosted the Wild Card competition in which Wild Card competitors selected and started a Four Sixes Ranch 3-year old gelding, along with the main competitors, in the traditional Road to the Horse format. Road to the Horse 2019 Wild Card competitor Wade Black reserved his spot as a main competitor at Road to the Horse 2020 by claiming the Road to the Horse 2019 Wild Card Championship, against fellow Wild Cards Ben Baldus and Booger Brown.

During Road to the Horse 2019, Craig Cameron was proud to announce the inclusion of his son, Cole Cameron, in the Road to the Horse 2020 Wild Card competition. Cole will be joined by another Wild Card who will be selected from the list of Mustang Heritage Foundation trainers who are competing in a 2019 or 2020 Extreme Mustang Makeover competition. The third Road to the Horse 2020 Wild Card competitor has yet to be announced. 

“Dowers and Wilson proved exactly why they are both past Road to the Horse World Champions,” stated Western Horseman Publisher Ernie King. “Both the competitors and the Wild Cards demonstrated exceptional levels of horsemanship, and this was reflected in the closeness of the scores throughout the entire event. It was an unbelievable privilege to watch these master colt starters form partnerships with their Four Sixes Ranch colts.”

Morris, III, Chairman of Morris Communications Company, LLC. “The Morris Family will carry on this tradition with the same passion and commitment to entertain and educate the fundamentals of horsemanship principles.”
