At American Dream Horse, exceptional horses are only the beginning.

Nestled in the Tennessee countryside near Nashville, our breeding program reflects over 40 years with gaited horses and a deep appreciation for the qualities that have defined the Rocky Mountain Horse for generations. Old bloodlines, substantial bone, a naturally beautiful four beat gait, sound conformation, exceptional temperament and true versatility guide every breeding decision we make.

Our four Rocky Mountain Horse stallions represent bloodlines we are proud to carry forward, including GHS Taking Reservations, one of the last actively breeding sons of Pence’s Blue Boy.

But the greatest reward of raising these horses is seeing where their stories lead.

There is something extraordinary about finding a horse that feels as though it was always meant to be yours. From the first curious moments of a newborn foal to the quiet confidence of a seasoned trail companion, we invest in each horse as an individual, nurturing the trust, willingness and character that make those relationships possible.

We share our knowledge freely, give honest guidance and remain a resource long after your horse comes home.

We breed for our dream horse while helping you find your heart horse.

Certifications: Over 40 years with gaited horses.
