Welcome to Oxbow Ranch: Lindy Burch's Cutting Horse Legacy in Weatherford, Texas
Weatherford, TX home for elite cutting horse breeding, clinics, and proven performers since the 1980s.
Lindy Burch started Oxbow Ranch to raise, train, and show cutting horses that win. She built the program in Weatherford, Texas around a small band of proven mares. Today, buyers, clinic riders, and owners come to Lindy for horses that read cattle and stay sound.
Who Is Lindy Burch and Why Oxbow Ranch Stands Out
Lindy won the 1980 NCHA Open Futurity with a record 225.5 on Mis Royal Mahogany. She was the first woman to claim the title. One year earlier, she took Reserve Champion. She remains the only woman with back-to-back Futurity honors.
She grew up in Southern California, traded vet school for the arena, and never looked back. Over $4.8 million in earnings and multiple hall of fame inductions. Oxbow Ranch carries that standard in every foal.
“I rode as a kid just everywhere… I just love to ride.”

How the Broodmare Program Builds Future Champions
Lindy breeds a few select mares each year. She raises the babies, starts them, and offers them private treaty or in sales.
Two current standouts show with Matt Gaines and Michael Cooper. Both trace to Oxbow mares Lindy rode herself. Learn the full process on the Broodmare Program page.
What Happens in a Lindy Burch Cutting Clinic
Lindy hosts 3-4 day clinics worldwide. Riders bring their own horses. Day one covers basics. Day three brings the light-bulb moment.
She videos every run so riders leave with proof and homework. See schedules and book on the Clinics page.
“I love to see the people improve… usually the third day, they just go, this big light bulb comes on.”
