Lonesome Country Quarter Horses is owned and operated by Craig and Shelley Benzing, Brian and
Suzy Benzing and Oran & Sylvia Benzing, Brian & Craig's parents.

Craig and Shelley have sold their home in Chinook and have moved to the
Geyser area. Craig is working on the Johnson Ranch and uses his geldings in
the day to day operation. Shelley will be working as a speech therapist in
Central Montana. Their daughters, Kaydance and Shyla are looking forward
to living closer to their aunts and uncles, cousins and grandparents. Craig
will continue to provide the majority of the geldings for our ride horse
program.

Brian and Suzy live at Winifred, Montana where Brian is employed by
Bold Ranch and Feedlot. Suzy is the Classified Manager for the
Lewistown News-Argus newspaper. They have 4 children, Beka,
Kayla, Justin and Bailey. Brian hopes to have a few ranch-used broke
geldings for sale each year as well as some younger horses. The
feedlot provides Brian a great opportunity for starting and training
colts but he won't use them in there until they are three, giving him
the opportunity to sell some older horses.

Brian and Craig's sister, Corrie, and her husband, Tim, also help out with the operation and management of the
mares and colts at Square Butte. This makes Lonesome Country a true family affair. Brian and Craig's experience
in the horse industry covers over 25 years of breaking and training horses, some for themselves, many for others.
They have each developed methods of training that produce solid-minded, dependable horses that can go in many
different directions.
