Gooseberry Creek Ranch is a cow/calf and yearling cattle operation with a performance horse breeding division. We are located 1 hr south of Cody Wyoming. Dave and Jeri Slover strive to provide superior customer service, superior quality horses, and that extra attention to detail that every program deserves.

 

We enjoy reining, cutting, roping, and running our ranch, as well as producing quality prospects for ranchers and showmen alike. We strive to raise prospects with fluid movement, easy turns, and great stops. Our horses are expected to gather, sort, rope, hold, doctor, and haul out on thousands of acres of varied country, so great travelers with sound minds and bodies are our focus.

​

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or just feel like chatting about horses!
