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 live in the Geyser area. Craig is working on the Johnson
Ranch and uses his geldings in the day to day operation. Shelley is a speech
therapist working with many of the schools in Central Montana. Their
daughters, Kaydance and Shyla really enjoy living closer to their aunts and
uncles, cousins and grandparents. Craig provides 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, half of which are owned by Oran & Sylvia. 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.
