About Ponderosa Paints

I purchased all my Skip Along  mares from my mentor Virgil Lawson in Wetmore Colorado.  Virgil used to kid me that I bought all the color out of his pastures!  I have successfully bred these mares for the past 14 years in Colorado, Arizona, and now here in Texas.  I produce quality all around foals annually.
