2007 APHA World Champion Open and Amateur Aged Stallions!

We want to welcome you to
DDP High Desert Ranch!

 

     Hi there!! We’re Dan & Debbie Price. (Debbie was formerly known as Debbie Watkins of the WKN brand and WatkinsPaints.com.) Dan & I met in 2007 and were married in 2008 and live on our beautiful 146 acre ranch on the Sprague River in Sprague River, Oregon. The Watkins Ranch has now become the DDP High Desert Ranch. Our new brand and horse name prefix will be: DDP. We are starting a new business: DDP High Desert Equine Transport, LLC.

     Debbie has been breeding, training and showing Quarter Horses and Paints for 40 years. She bred, foaled, raised, trained and showed Macho Town Chica to a Supreme Championship and WKN Chicas Icon to a multiple World Championship. She has worked for many Veterinarians in past years and has been breeding AI, ultrasounding her our own mares, foaling, collecting stallions and processing their semen for transport as well as the day to day treatment of colic and lacerations, etc. for over 30 years. She has also been driving commercially with a Class "A" CDL in "big rigs" (18 wheelers) for 22 years. She has never had a citation or an accident and has multiple driving awards. She even has experience on Canada’s famous "ice" roads!

     Dan is a 22 year retired veteran of Law Enforcement having supervised and been a dog handler with the canine unit for many years in California. He has worked with animals his whole life including breeding and AI of cattle and working with horses. He has been transporting his own horses for many years as well. He is an avid horseback rider who prefers to ride the wilderness.

     Dan & Deb have decided to combine their talents and start a new business together: DDP High Desert Equine Transport, LLC. We will be transporting horses throughout the USA beginning summer of 2009. We will continue to breed our fine horses on a limited basis and should have one or two foals available each year until we retire from transporting and get back into full breeding production. We have also acquired a gorgeous German bred German Shepherd, "Nikos", who will be traveling with us. Nikos is currently in training for his Schutzhund title and will be used as our stud dog after he is titled.

     DDP High Desert Ranch is located in the beautiful state of Oregon, right in the midst of gorgeous mountains and bubbling rivers! 



     Macho Town Chica is the embodiment of DDP High Desert Ranch's breeding program.  She is the only living APHA Supreme Champion.   Her first foal, WKN Chicas Icon, is proof of her ability to produce a winning halter horse.  He took the 2007 Open APHA Aged Stallion World Championship honors and unanimously won the APHA World Champion Amateur Aged Stallion, and also won the 2007 PtHA World Champion Aged Stallion and the President’s Cup (Champion of World Champions!!). 

     We have trimmed down our breeding stock, but have kept the cream of the crop. We are still dedicated to breeding and producing the finest double registered Paints & Quarter Horses with kind dispositions, superior minds, awesome conformation and wonderful movement.  Our goal is to provide our customers with a WINNING halter horse that will perform competitively in today's specialized performance classes.  
 

Remember, DDP means you have a winner!
