Promised Land Ranch runs horses on thirteen hundred acres of bunchgrass, rock, and timber in the old gold-camp hills above Toroda Creek, some twenty miles south of the Canadian line. The blood is old Hancock blood — Joe Hancock, Blue Valentine, and Driftwood, crossed on the proven Northwest lines of Page Lee and Ruffus Bars — and the country it is raised in is as honest as the pedigrees.

“We raise our horses out on the range, where they breed, foal and grow up. They know how to cross a creek, turn around in a tight spot, and come off the mountain.”
— Joel Kretz, Promised Land Ranch
