Welcome to Flying M Paints and thank you for visiting our site. We are located in Ulm, Montana, near Great Falls, and overlooking the Missouri River and the Rockies. We raise Paint horses, both tobianos and overos; with around five foals each year. We stand our own stallion, Duke of Eclipse, a sorrel overo; We are also offering Chamois Doc Jack, a palomino tobiano stallion. We also breed to outside stallions occasionally. While our horses do not specialize in any specific venue or category, we prefer to raise all-around useful, intelligent, friendly animals. I always have a tough time learning to re-calculate the age of my horses, since they all magically became a year older on January 1!! We are expecting 8-9 foals in 2008, out of 5 different stallions, including 2 from Chamois and 4 from Duke. It should be fun.
Our facilities include a 4-stall barn, a 3-horse foaling barn with pipe corrals and field, eight 100' long pipe corrals with shelters, a hay shed with attached pipe corral sporting a 30-foot covered feed trough - plenty of room to belly up to the bar, fields ranging from five to thirty acres, a 100x185' pipe arena and 2 round pens. We are members of Rocky Mountain Breeders Association, where Gail is currently serving as Secretary/Treasurer. We are also members of Montana Paint Horse Club, where Gail is Webmaster and Past President. The "Flying" in our name reflects Bob long-time interest in flying small airplanes. To yield to his interests, we also have a grass airstrip and hangar where he keeps his Kitfox (unless it happens to have my horses' hay in it instead!). Since Gail apparently doesn't have enough to do, she is helping to start up a new Paint horse club - Central Montana Paint Horse Club - with the goal of offering more regional, varied events that MPHC doesn't offer, such as Omoksee-type speed events, cowhorse events, more informal trail rides - whatever the new membership wants to help with and participate in. Thanks for dropping by; Bob and Gail Morris
