The Kurtz ranch is a cattle and horse ranch located in the beautiful Elk River Valley north of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This is an area of lush meadows, rugged mountains, and deep snow. Our horses are raised outside, where they travel over a variety of terrain and are exposed to temperature extremes. As a result, they are healthy, hearty, and adaptable. Our goal at the Kurtz Ranch is to produce beautiful, versatile horses that combine cow sense and athleticism with a great disposition. We believe versatility is what the Quarter Horse is all about. We want our horses to be able to perform as well on the ranch or trail as in the arena. We hope you find something you like on our website, and invite you to visit and check out our horses for yourself. Pete, Mary, Cassidy, and Andy Kurtz
