The Diamond-McNabb Ranch Horse Sale enters its 16th year, and the talent is impeccable.
At a time when Taylor Sheridan’s infamous Yellowstone television series has swept the nation and captured the interest of millions, the allure of the Western lifestyle has never been stronger. Against this backdrop, the Diamond-McNabb Ranch Horse Sale emerges as a beacon of authenticity and tradition, offering a glimpse into the world of horse training and ranch life that has captivated audiences far and wide.
In 2006, the True family, owners of Diamond Land & Livestock, asked renowned horse trainer, Ken McNabb, to host an all-family horse clinic in celebration of patriarch Grandpa Diemer’s 60th birthday. Originally planned at Powderhorn Ranch in Douglas, Wyoming, a forest fire forced a relocation to Casper. Undeterred, McNabb and his family embraced the opportunity, fostering a lasting connection. The following year, they embarked on a week-long adventure in the Beartooth Mountains, where the idea for the Diamond-McNabb Ranch Horse Sale took shape.
With the ranch lifestyle and horsemanship taking on a life of its own, many are looking to enter the horse world. As novices, it begs the question of where one should look for a good horse. One such place has stood the test of time – the Diamond-McNabb Ranch Horse Sale. It was a realization born of mutual admiration between the Diemer-Trues and the McNabbs, and a desire to elevate their respective endeavors.
The McNabbs’ passion for the energy and excitement of a quality horse sale dovetailed seamlessly with the Diemer-True family’s aspiration to enhance their breeding and training operations. Combining Ken’s unparalleled expertise in horse training with the demands of a working cattle operation, they envisioned a breeding ground where horses could receive top-tier training while contributing to the daily ranch duties. The result? A cadre of impeccably trained horses ready to meet the demands of any rider and make their families proud.
As the Diamond-McNabb Ranch Horse Sale enters its 16th year, the partnership between McNabb and the Diemer-True family stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and shared values. Together, they have created a legacy rooted in passion, dedication, and a profound respect for the timeless bond between humans and horses. And as the sun sets on another day in Wyoming, their partnership continues to shine brightly, illuminating the path for future generations of horse lovers to follow.
