More About Us
Our Background:
The farm was established in 1974 by Ben & Tamie Grandstaff. Raising four children, Jeremy, Crystal, Dustin & Corey, and continuing to build the horse business have been a lifetime vision for the couple. Ben and Tamie were involved in the 4-H program for 18 years and enjoy the opportunity the International Buckskin Circuit presents to travel and compete as a family, enjoying the friendships made along the way. Although Buckskin/Quarters are the Grandstaff color of choice, we also enjoy working in the Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse Racing Industry.
Our Vision:
And now the dream comes true… After being involved in our own on farm breeding program for 17 years-we saw the need for a facility that would help the average horse owner with all their breeding management needs. In January 1999, S & G Stables opened their doors to a newly constructed Stallion and Mare Management Facility. Specializing in all aspects of the breeding program, we take pride in providing quality customer service, offering top-of-the-line stallion and mare care, artificial insemination, and shipping. With the breeding facility, boarding, conditioning, training, & sales, it is needless to say that the farm has become a full time job. As such, we are very proud of or work and give our best to insure our customers the highest quality & satisfaction possible in everything we do. You can be assured, as an S & G Stables customer, that quality care and going the extra "mile" is not something that we do occasionally; it is what we always consistently provide. That’s a promise!
And if you ever find yourself in our "neck of the woods," please stop in!
We welcome all visitors....Friends we keep forever!

More about Bronzed to Beat:
Bronzed To Beat was bred to be, not just a show horse, but a sire. He was not an accident. He was created by a careful selective process. His pedigree is filled with champions and leading sires. The product comes from the seed, champions produce champions.
His sire, Color Me Skip, had an extensive show record. He was a Reserve World Champion Halter Stallion, an AQHA Champion with both Superiors in halter and western pleasure. He also earned points in barrels and poles. He is an AQHA Leading Sire of Halter Point Earners. As well as his record, he was chosen for his superior conformation and structure that was made for both beauty and soundness. Conformation that would stand up to use.
Bronze’s dam, Ribbons Heart Beat, was purchased at the Birdtail Ranch of Simms Montana, who are all time AQHA Leading Breeders of AQHA Champions and ROM performance horses. She had the gorgeous buckskin color I wished to propagate, the sound structure, and a pedigree filled with horses that had proven to excel as show horses, successful in a number of events, and who had also proven their ability to pass these traits to their get.
These horses were also well known for their “born broke” dispositions. Horses that were so gentle and smart that youth and amateur could train them. Ribbons’ sire, Ribbon Page, was an AQHA Champion, with points earned in halter, western pleasure, western riding and reining. Her dam, Miss Heart Beat was a ROM producer and sired by Hard To Beat, Honor Roll Halter Horse and AQHA Champion. Ribbons was specifically selected to be a mate with Color Me Skip. Both of these horses had a special look. A look of elegance and beauty. The Look Of Eagles.
Bronzed To Beat was everything I wished from that mating. He was started toward his show career as a yearling, but a freak accident occurred which gave him a permanent injury to his right front pastern. An injury which nearly ended his possibility of a show career and did prevent him from having a riding performance career. Bronze began his halter career at age six, an age at which most horses are ending, not beginning, their halter careers. The fact that we could take a aged stud to his first show at this age, speaks for the quality of his disposition. He went to his first IBHA show on Labor Day weekend. He was shown at just four show circuits that year. It was tough to acquire halter points because there was often not enough aged stallions to get points, but he won them by going Grand Champion. In just four weekends, he earned thirteen halter points and third place on the IBHA Honor Roll against other horses who had been shown the whole season. He came within one point of winning Reserve Honor Roll. The next year he stood to his first book of mares. After breeding season he was shown at just enough shows to get him from the breeding attitude to the showing attitude before being shown at the IBHA World Show. He placed fourth there. All the stallions placing above him had previously been World Champions. He acquired another seven halter points for a total of twenty and his ROM. He was then retired from showing. He had proven what I had set out to do by showing him, that he had the quality to be competitive and win.
In 2002, he was returned to the show ring, just to show his support for the Ohio Buckskins Association’s Red, White and Blue Circuit. We took him directly from the breeding shed to the show. At eleven years old we were not expecting to win. He did, in aged stallion classes of up to seven entries. He was Circuit Champion Aged Stallion and acquired six more halter points, for a total of twenty six points. How many aged halter studs could be returned to the showring at age eleven and win? Especially in this age of halter horses which are crippled before they are mature and die young.
Bronze’s greatest accomplishments are as a sire. He is A PROVEN SIRE, of Superior Halter, ROM, and futurity winners in AQHA, IBHA, ABRA, and PHBA. He has sired three IBHA Honor Roll Winners and one Reserve Honor Roll Winner, and has World Show placed get in halter and performance. His get have proven to both halter and ride. All of his winning get have been shown to their titles by amateurs and youth. All this from a relative few shown get and produced from mares who mostly had no show or produce record.
Bronze will be fifteen years old in 2006. He is strong, healthy, and suffering no lameness. His fertility ratings are excellent, exceeding most stallions. His semen ships well, evidenced in the fact that he has foals in 18 states. This will be the last year he will stand for this reasonable fee. If you are wanting to raise a foal which is structurally sound, both a beauty to behold and to be around. A foal which will have color, beauty, height, disposition, and ability. The foal which will stand out from the others because of The Look of Eagles. Select Bronzed To Beat to sire your mares foal.
Bronzed has been fertility tested as excellent. He has foals across the US that have been conceived by shipped semen.

Coax Me Chad
AN OHIO ICON Retires!
It has been an honor and pleasure to have Coax Me Chad on our farm the past 9 years. Chad had such great personality and history. One of the last of his kind. Chad will spend his retirement with Wally & Laura Burress in Kentucky. Wally was the assistant trainer for Chad during his racing career and is happy to have Chad in his keep again.
A big thanks to the many mare owners over the years that have booked with Chad, keep in touch and let us know what his babies are up to.
If you are going to Churchill Downs, visit the Derby Museum where the ‘84 Kentucky Derby mural of Chad chasing down the great “Swale” is displayed on the wall. Be sure to replay the 1984 Kentucky Derby and watch Coax Me Chad’s “Run For The Roses"(Requires Windows Media Player)
