Quality Quarter Horses Since 1940
The late Verner V. Parker knew how important a good horse was.
He continually upgraded his herd beginning with the purchase of Popcorn, a black stallion,
in Arizona in 1940. Popcorn was among the first to be registered (2706) in the AQHA.
Popcorn stood his entire life at the Parker Ranch. We kept a son, Pop’s Diamond; a grandson, Kiowa Diamond and presently we stand one great grandson, Sonita
Kiowa. In 1957 we bought Rio Leo 89’er by Leo and out of 89’er, a leading
producer by King. In 1982 we were members of a joint venture that purchased Docs Superstar
Bar by Doc Bar out of World’s Champion Cutting Mare and NCHA Hall of Fame inductee,
Annie Glo. After moving from Texas, Doc’s Superstar Bar stood the remainder of his life at
Riverfront. The newest stallion in our breeding program is Dualin Freckle
by Dual Jazz out of a Freckles Flynt mare. Our greatest achievement is that through the years we
have continued to upgrade bloodlines and produce world class horses.
Bred for cutting, reining, roping and ranch work, Parker Horses have won several cow horse futurities. We had a Reserve World’s Champion Jr. Working Cowhorse. We have bred and raised horses that have competed in the World Quarter Horse show in nearly every performance event.
In 1998, Parker Horses received the prestigious Legacy Award from AQHA. This award was presented to Deryl Parker in recognition of 60 consecutive years of breeding and registering Quarter Horses. To date, Parker Horses has registered 1459 Quarter Horses.
Parker Horses has been in western Oklahoma, 7.5 miles south and 5 miles west of Arnett, on the S. Canadian River since 1940.
Currently we stand 4 stallions:
Master Colonel a 1986 Sorrel by Colonel Freckles out of Golden Star Light.
Superstar Smoker a 1990 Bay by Docs Superstar Bar out of Smokin Sandy Bar.
Sonita Kiowa a 1990 Buckskin by Kiowa Diamond out of Babe Sonoita.
Dualin Freckle a 2001 Gray by Dual Jazz out of Holy Freckles.
