OLD WEST JOURNAL
Seeing it Early
Crosby Ray Von was bred by Fults
Ranch and purchased as a yearling by
Trevor Brazile and Miles Baker of
Relentless Remuda — not because of
hype, but because of how she moved,
thought, and handled herself in the
round pen.
They sold her older sister.
They kept this one.
CROSBY RAY VON
THE HORSE
That Redifed
WHAT’S POSSIBLE
From the beginning, Crosby Ray Von
stood out — not flashy, not forced, but
confident. The kind of horse that draws
you in quietly and makes you stop
watching everything else.
$1.7 Million
Rope Horse Mare
When Crosby Ray Von entered the sale ring
at the Old West Rope Horse Futurity & Sale
in Heber City, Utah, the energy shifted. Bids
climbed steadily. Conversations stopped.
And when the gavel finally fell at $1.7
million, the record books—and expectations
for the rope horse industry—were rewritten.
A 3-year-old mare by Stevie Rey Von and
out of MA Crosby by Valiant Hero, Crosby
Ray Von became the highest-selling
Western performance horse ever sold at
public auction. But long before the price tag
made headlines, those closest to her
believed in something far more important:
The horse herself.
This isn’t a story about a number.
It’s a story about potential, preparation, and
belief.
