Breeding Program
With proven blood lines including Brookman, Tooke, and Birch the Hinland/Benson horses are a sure thing. Read through our history and our blood lines, then take a look at the results on the Bucking Horses or Ranch Rodeo Horses pages and contact us about the ones you are interested in.
Jack Hinnaland
Jack has been around bucking horses all his life. His Dad started raising horses about 60 or 70 years ago. He furnished horses in the Brockway, Circle area for many years. He raised horses, cattle, sheep, and farmed.Jack started raising them about 30 or 35 years ago and rode bucking horses all his life up until just a few years ago. He and Debbie raise cattle and bucking horses. Jack bought a Canadian draft horse stud from Leaonard Canfield to breed the Hinnaland mares to. This was the start of his string of bucking horses, and later he bought Pure Gold, a George Anderson stud.
After that he bought a stud from Paul McInnerny out of So. Dakota. This stud sired many good fillies. Jack feels that 75% of good bucking horse genes come from the mare.
In approximately 1990, Jack bought a bunch of mares and 2 stud prospects. Red Badger and Chief 2 Moons, from Ernie Tooke. This started his modern day breeding program. He used Pure Gold on many of his mares. From these breeding crosses he raised many horses that have bucked all over Montana in amateur and professional rodeos. He has had seversal go to the NFR.
He also has seversl mares at home that have been to the NARC finals and NRA finals more than once. Croppy, Norma Jean, Monica, and Spider are some of them and they are all mares that he raised.
Jack and Debbie are proud of the horses they are raising and are constantly trying to improve on their bucking horse blood lines. All of their young horses at the Matches are from these blood lines.
John Benson
John had been in rodeo all of his life, from John competing, to all of his children participating. He has always loved bucking horses and he and Pam started raising them on a small scale 16 years ago.He started with mares he put together here and there and took to a stud Johnny Walton had, that was a Brookman bred stud. Then he got a stud, Patches, from Jack Hinnaland, which was a Tooke bred stud. He then leased for 1 year, a Logan bred stud from Chuck Sinonson, which is where ge got the stud Painted Ugly. John then got a horse from Marvin Brookman, Rockin Robin. He also got a stud from Dennis Gifford, that he calls Gifford. Now he uses these studs on the off spring.
When they get to be 2 year olds, he dummies them and has someone judge them. He keeps the good ones. John has had a few horses that he has bucked in amateur rodeos and has leased some to JS Rodeo Co., a PRCA contractor, from Vaughn, MT.
John came up with the idea of a Match to get experience for their young horses and to hopefully see that his breeding program is headed in the right direction.
