RK Performance Horses was officially founded in the spring of 2023, born from a lifelong passion for high-caliber horses and years of dedication to showing and rodeo competition. What began as a family hobby quickly evolved into a mission: to compete on and raise elite, homegrown performance horses that thrive both in the arena and on the ranch.

Our program is deeply rooted in proven bloodlines, including family favorites like Jet Deck, Firewater Flit, and Frenchmans Guy, blending speed, athleticism, and cow sense. While our original background was in Western Pleasure, Trail, Horsemanship, and Cow Horse events, our transition into the dynamic world of rodeo has opened new opportunities to showcase the versatility and grit of our horses. We take pride in producing well-rounded, high-performing American Quarter Horses—such as our Nebraska 4D–1D Division Champion—as well as other top-tier competitors with track records on and off the racetrack. Our growth would not have been possible without the guidance and support of Joe and Karen Willam of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, whose mentorship continues to shape our program. At RK Performance Horses, our goal is to create the next generation of champions by strategically crossing racehorse lines with cow horse genetics—developing athletes with the speed, stamina, and intelligence to excel in any direction. We remain committed to quality, integrity, and the pursuit of excellence in every foal we raise.
