At Castle Mountain Performance Horses, we pride ourselves on producing top-tier performance horses. Our foundation mares are genetically aligned with selected studs to ensure sound genetics and proven performance. Our colts are started on cattle in Nye, Montana, at the base of the Beartooth Mountains—where Castle Mountain stands as a constant reminder of the rugged terrain and natural beauty just beyond Yellowstone National Park.

Castle Mountain Performance Horses

What We Offer

Each ranch horse is trained and started by Blake Kornele and our team of cowboys on the Shemer Ranch in Nye, Montana. We emphasize responsiveness, calmness, and skill as the horses begin their training and then transition to working cattle herds in the mountains and valleys. Our trainers evaluate each horse’s natural talents in roping, cutting, and endurance for long hours on the range. While not every horse excels at everything, identifying their strengths and aligning them with the right discipline is essential for successful ownership.
