The new website for South Texas Cattle Marketing – Horse Division, also known as Espuela De Plata, is now live. Located in Pearsall, Texas, the new site was designed to showcase the horse division of South Texas Cattle Marketing and provide a closer look at the program, its breeding stock, and the ranch-ready horses it produces. Built around a straightforward philosophy of raising dependable, versatile horses, the website gives visitors an opportunity to learn more about the program and its commitment to quality. Visit the new website at https://trandedp.com.
Owned and operated by the Lew Thompson Family and the Mike Hildebrand Family, Espuela De Plata is rooted in real ranch work and focused on producing horses that can handle it. Every horse is expected to put in a day’s work, with the program emphasizing sound-minded, durable horses capable of meeting the demands of everyday ranch life. Mares are selected for their versatility, grit, endurance, and proven ability in real-world conditions, and each must prove herself in the ranching operation before joining the broodmare band. The program breeds approximately 25 carefully selected mares each year, producing colts that go on to become trusted working cow horses throughout the United States and Mexico. In addition to its breeding program, Espuela De Plata maintains a remuda of approximately 20 geldings, ensuring quality, ranch-ready horses are always part of the operation. At its core, the program is focused on raising honest, reliable horses that can go to work and hold up doing it.
