Becky and Wade McDougall Welcome you to Sage Ranch Online
~Home of AQHA Chocolate palomino stallion, Fire On Bug~

We are a family owned and operated facility located near Benton City, WA, a small town of 2,800 people. It is located in the Eastern Washington sage “desert” area, but is in a fertile, green bend of the Yakima River. The climate boasts long Indian summers and moderate winters, with an average of 300 days of sunshine a year. We are bordered by the Horse Heaven Hills which were named in 1881 by James Kinney, a Yakima Washington pioneer, "because the area offers excellent forage and comparative isolation". Large bands of wild horses once roamed the area. It is the perfect climate and terrain for raising horses and the beautiful Yakima River is near by. It is here that we breed, raise, train and sell top of the line quarter horses. We strive to offer the very best barrel racing and working bloodlines.

We are very pleased to offer to the public our young stallion Fire On Bug.
