Tim and Dana co-own the stallion The Ultimate Fancy with Lary and Cyndy Cowart of Winchester, Kentucky.  The Ultimate Fancy is a double registered sorrel overo sired by Mr Fancy Bonanza and out of Sweet Celebration, who is one of APHA’s leading dams.  The farm focuses on pleasure prospects, and one of The Ultimate Fancy’s foals will be shown at this year’s World Show in Junior Western Pleasure.  He has already produced foals that have placed in the top 10 at the World Show.

Both Tim and Dana work on the farm full time, and their children, Kyle and Brittni, help out part time.  Brittni, a senior at Fleming County High School, is in charge of halter breaking the farm’s weanlings.  “Tim specializes in snaffle bit pleasure prospects,” Dana says.  “We have been blessed with great customers.”  Even though part of the Crager’s operation involves training, they still show.  “Brittni and Kyle were raised showing horses,” Dana says.  “We still show from April through October.”

The Cragers are members of both the Kentucky Paint Horse Club and the Kentucky Paint Horse Breeders Association.  “The Paint Horse industry has been wonderful to our family,” Dana says.  “To us, it’s full of the best people and the best horses in the business.”
