Nestled in the Western Sandhills of Nebraska, BOXO Quarter Horses is owned
and operated by Cash and Jecca Ostrandar, who are dedicated to breeding and
raising honest work horses that can excel in both the show pen and out on the
ranch.
The Ostrandar family at Willow Creek Ranch laid down roots in the area back
in the 1880s and are fourth and fifth generation ranchers. Both Cash and Jecca
live within 30 miles of their birthplace, and these strong ties to the land are
evident every day in the Angus cows and quality Quarter Horses they produce.
The couple have three children, one of whom, Stetson, still lives and works on
the ranch with his wife Courtney and daughter Tenley.
BOXO Quarter Horses have been a part of the AQHA Ranching Heritage
Program since it was established in 2011, and support the program as a donor
to the AQHA Ranching Heritage Youth Horse Development Program. In 2016
BOXO was awarded the inaugural AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeder of the Year
Award, an achievement they are extremely proud of as they see the program as
an excellent way to showcase the versatility of the ranch horse.
BOXO’s resident sire, SNW Heavens King, purchased in 2004 from Stan and
Nancy Weaver, is the cornerstone of the breeding program. New to the BOXO
stallion line-up is 2018 AQHA World Champion Junior Working Cow Horse,
Opus Cat Olena (WR This Cats Smart x Opus Chic x Smart Chic Olena), the
earner of $131,663.
