Where Great Horses are a Family Tradition

Welcome to Black Tie Ranch, where quality horses live, play, trail & show. Of course our expectations are high! We live in the Colorado Mountains at 8,000 feet above sea level and just going to the mailbox is a three mile trail ride!

Occasionally, we can even offer some of these fine 
horses for sale! We hope you enjoy this site.
