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 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.

2012 is finally here, at least that's what the calendar says.  Again, we have bred to a couple of exciting outside quarter horse stallions, as well as letting Duke have his regular girlfriends.

The first baby has arrived.  She looks like a quarter horse, which is good in this case, since she is one!  She had a bit of a rough start - I'm pretty sure her big-footed mama stepped on her neck; so she spent the first three weeks living at the vet's, where lots of skin and muscle sluffed off.  It hasn't exactly slowed her down though - man, she is fast on her feet!  Click here to go to her page.

We are proud to be co-sponsoring the RMBA Youth & Open Show, along with RMBA, MPHC and West Eden Performance Horses on May 27, 2012 in Great Falls.  info

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. 

While we are not a public boarding facility in any sense of the word, we will consider taking in a few carefully selected horses and their peeps, from time to time.

We now have an on-site trainer, Clinton Hansen, and his girlfriend Marija Carte living here.  In addition to Clinton accepting outside horses for training and giving lessons, he has been working with all our horses.  Hopefully you will see some of them in the showpen this spring!

We are members of Rocky Mountain Breeders Association, where Gail is currently serving as Secretary.  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!).

Thanks for dropping by; Bob and Gail Morris
