In Jan. of 77 our first son was born. In Dec. of 78 we had a set of twin boys born. And in Feb. of 83 we had our second set of twins born, a boy and a girl.Our 3 oldest sons have all joined the U.S.M.C. and the oldest is stationed in North Carolina and our next two go to Boot camp in June of 97 in Cal. The Other set of twins are starting high school next year.We chose the Basin because of the four seasons, the temperature, the sand, and the growing season for hay. Our winters are very mild, the springs usually early and the summers are warm. We have a beautiful indian fall weather. We can work our horses nearly all year round because of the sand, and we usually don't freeze until January. We get four cuttings of hay a year,and have plenty of water for irrigation. Our power is the cheapest in the U.S.

We started Hobson's Paint Horses with Shawna's first Paint stallion "Senco's Son" and about 5 head of Quarter horse mares. In 1981 we purchased Spooks Trophy Boy a Bay and White Tobiano, only to our surprise he turned out to be a homoyzgous 100% color producer documented with Portland State Univ. Spooks Trophy Boy produced the first female homoyzgous documented in the world. We have blood typed our horse with Portland for the last 12 years and are one of the founders in recreating the homoyzgous Paint horses. As of today we run about 30 head of Quarter horse, Thoroughbreds and Paint mares.

Our offspring are well known for conformation, dispositions, color patterns, and the atheltic ability to do what ever you want to in the horse world today. We have some of the nicest halter, pleasure, reining, english, endurance and working cow horses ever produced in today Paint Horse world. Our horses are sought after because of their size, bone structure, beautiful heads and there ability to learn quickly. Most of our colts reach 16 hands by the time they are two years olds. Color, Size and Brains what more could you ask for? Hobson's Paint Horses have been a family business and will remain so until they get out. Hobson's Paint Horses invite you to come look and to see what the Columbia Basin has to offer.
