Horses Owned By Slim Shack Ranch
Shorty
| Born | Owned Since | Owner |
| 2008 | 2015 | Artemio |
Skills – Team Roping, Team Sorting, Steer Stopping, Barrel Racing, Trail Riding, Gathering, Branding Pen Work
Shorty was one of the original residents of Slim Shack! Shorty came from a 3 time world champion team roper as a heel horse, but after spending years with Artemio they have accomplished so much more than just that! Together they have gone on thousands of miles of trail riding, tried their hand at both barrel racing and team sorting, carried the American flag for a hometown rodeo, worked in the branding pen, and most impressively become a team that can both head and heel a steer. This duo has seen it all!
Tex
| Born | Owned Since | Owner |
| 2005 | 2015 | Joe |
Skills – Team Roping
Tex was the other original residents of Slim Shack! Tex came from the Bachs in Mount Vernon Texas and was Joe’s first ever horse. Together they have accomplished great things! Going to numerous ropings, winning money and buckles, attending brandings, and participating in numerous other rodeo events! Joe and Tex are inseparable and although Tex is getting up there in age he will always be apart of Slim Shack Ranch, living out his best days on green pastures!

| Born | Owned Since | Owner |
| 2010 – 2023 | 2016 | Artemio |
Skills – Team Roping, Barrel Racing, Pole Bending, Steer Stopping, Trail Riding, Distance Riding, Gathering, Branding Pen Work
Chapo was one of our most athletic horses with a big motor. He loved working, and playing !! Roping, sorting, barrels, pole bending, Chapo wanted to do it all !! An adventurous trail rider on top of everything else. Chapo had a hard time standing still. Unfortunately he had a rare physical condition that took his life at an early age. He loved life and WE LOVED HIM. He is missed everyday …..❤️❤️
Tommy
| Born | Owned Since | Owner |
| 2013 | 2020 | Joe |
Skills – Team Roping, Team Sorting, Trail Riding, Distance Riding, Gathering, Branding Pen Work
Tommy is the horse that Joe got to give Tex a break from going on trail rides as he got older. Tommy has mostly been used for long rides out in the hills but he really is the all round type of guy who is willing to try anything! We have used him for team roping, gathering, branding, team sorting, and even some barrel racing! Tommy is a huge love bug, be careful if you go in his pen he will make sure you have no choice but to give him some pets.
Remi
| Born | Owned Since | Owner |
| 2012 | 2020 | Claire |
Skills – Team Roping, Barrel Racing, Pole Bending, Team Sorting, Trail Riding, Distance Riding, Gathering
Remi is the first horse that Claire has ever owned. She bought him as a trail horse and together they have learned it all – barrel racing, working cows, and even team roping as a heeler. Their favorite thing to do together is go out on all day rides and haul out to barrel races. They have not won money together yet, but they have their eyes set on a buckle one day!
Spitty
| Born | Owned Since | Owner |
| Before the dinosaurs | 2021 | Claire |
Skills – Team Roping, Barrel Racing, Pole Bending
Spitfire (AKA Spitty) is Claire’s second horse. He has a long past history of team roping, and has even won over $30,000 in his lifetime! Claire got him in his older years so that she could learn to rope on a reliable “been there-done that” type of horse. He is living out his life on the green pasture with our little herd.
Tex Jr. (AKA Junior)
| Born | Owned Since | Owner |
| 2023 | Joe |
Skills – Team Roping, Team Sorting, Trail Riding, Distance Riding, Gathering, Branding Pen Work
Junior is Joe’s newest horse, we noticed that Tex’s old age was starting to catch up with him and in an effort to give him the retirement he deserves Joe started looking for a horse that could fill the role of his team roping partner. After looking at multiple horses and not finding just the right one, Tex Jr. (who was just Tex at the time) showed up. Joe didn’t know what his name was until after riding him and liking him, the icing on the cake was when we asked his name and they said “Tex”! We knew that was the sign we needed! Now, just to make things easier he is known as “Junior”. We are excited to see what Joe and Junior will accomplish together!
Ruby
| Born | Owned Since | Owner |
| 2021 | 2024 | Artemio |
Skills – Trail Riding, Gathering, TBD (Team Roping, Barrel Racing, Branding Pen Work)
Ruby is the newest member of our herd, as well as the only mare that we own! She has a cuddly and loving personality. She will eat anything you let her, and she is one of the bravest horses we own. She is only 3 years old, and still had many years to learn and grow. We are excited to see where her talents will take her!
