Rio Star Farm

Our Mission

Our mission is to produce quality warmblood foals for sale that bring enjoyment to you and represent the best of the breed. Your success is our success. Located in Central Texas, we have been warmblood breeders for more than 20 years and have repeat customers looking for new young prospects.  While we produce foals mainly for the dressage market, our offspring are balanced, engaging, well-rounded athletes, and are also competing and winning in eventing and hunter/jumper disciplines. Great dispositions and trainability are important to us and in addition to being excellent athletes, our horses come ready to be loving members of your family.

Our Mares & Stallions Used

Using the finest domestic and international stallions carefully combined with our premium Oldenburg and KWPN mares, we have consistently produced premium and elite rated foals year after year. Our mares’ ancestors hail from Oldenburg, Hannover, Westphalia, Denmark, Holstein, and the Netherlands with top European stallions including Weltmeyer, Florestan, Roemer, Grande, Sir Donnerhall, Romanov, Don Schufro, Zack, Rubinstein, Morricone, Donkey Boy, Jazz, Sandro Hit and Cor de la Bryère. We carefully pair our mares with select stallions to achieve top rated offspring with high athleticism, trainability, and excellent minds and temperaments.  Trainers and owners over the years consistently tell us our foals/young horses are personable and a pleasure to be around, and that they are smart and willing in training. Our location enables us to produce high quality foals for less cost than most east and west coast producers, and we pass these savings on to you in our prices.

Our Foals

Raising a quality horse starts from the time of conception. Diet is extremely important for the proper development of the embryo to the birth of the foal and beyond. Our mares and foals are fed a well-balanced diet of coastal hay, alfalfa, and a balanced diet of grain. Each mare and foal receive individual attention to their needs since every horse is unique. To ensure that our foals have a generous personality and loving attitude towards people, our foals are handled on a daily basis . We also introduce the foals to each other in a controlled small group herd environments for their much-needed socialization. This handling and socializing creates a sound mind as they mature.
