I suppose this aligns with his ‘retirement’ from the clinician life (per a recent podcast). He’s got horses in training with Andrea Fappani and considers himself not good enough yet to ride a horse of Titan’s abilities, which I found refreshing to hear from him.
This thread is from last year, so I guess its still for sale?
It is, I just looked it up to see if it had changed hands. I was surprised to hear him talk about retiring at 43, so it made me wonder about the ranch.
The Carol Rose Farm which sits directly beside I-35 has just a few more acres but is listed for 11 million dollars.

The little red dot on the opening page of the listing says it is “off market”…
County property records still list his LLC as owners so property didn’t have any takers - or just a change of mind to keep the farm.
Ah, sorry- I saw the video for it still posted on his Youtube channel so I thought it was still active. That’s on me I guess 
might have been there are about twenty other Stephenville ranches on the market in over $1m price
Weeeeellll - you could try BC for properties in the 2-3 million dollar range - It is always wet here, the fields get like mud puddles. Maintenance is difficult because nobody wants to work on fences and fields unless we can get hold of
temporary foreign workers up here for six month stints. Taxes are pretty high, too…
I don’t know Texas, but it seems like a pretty good deal from where I mow my lawn.
temporary foreign workers… well we have have over three million who have just stayed, never applying for anything…they are just here
As for these ranches in the area…most had the mineral rights, I lost three hay sources after they signed multiple million dollar drilling contracts… the last one was “well will always bale hay” that was until they got the check for just over $10,000,000

I’m in BC, but I travelled with a couple of fellows from Alberta - one had inherited an oil patch and now they live in a
posh Vancouver high-rise overlooking the ocean and travel the world.
$10,000,000 - I cannot count that many zeros.

that was for the drilling rights, they also got 25% of the production plus extras for each wellhead on their property
To add to the comment about the podcast…he seriously rubbed me the wrong way…tells his customers to expect to spend $20,000-$60,000 on a yearling and no guarantees just that they would have fun! Yeah right. I wouldn’t have a job if my customers had to spend 20-60k for an unbroken yearling.

and, Clanter, that is why in Rachel Madows’ book she says oil is the most corrupted industry with the richest people divvying out the loot.

Wow. My little 1500 sq feet, three bed/2 bath in So Cal is now worth 750k. For 100k more I could get this beautiful place in Montana.

and that is what is occurring and has been for many years…people cashing out of high value area then purchasing their dream place often paying cash or keeping the cash in investment accounts to pay for the place

Once they start to develop into a nice horse you add zeros. So maybe the only way some people can get into a horse is to get them while they are young, and that’s what a yearling with potential costs.

My company put an access control system on Tom Mc Cutcheon’s ranch …at least back then he only had five or six client horses at a time. Those clients could easily drop $100k or more in developing a top horse
And he never was in need to finding a client as the waiting list was long
True. However I am in the reining industry and I can tell you The average nrha member is a 40 year old female non pro competitor whose household makes approximately 100k a year. Those are our statistics.
The customers that can spend 60k on a yearling are few and far between and if he does that a couple times to each customer with little success, history shows that they won’t just leave him, they will leave our sport.
