We would like to welcome all of you for visiting this website, please feel free to visit each page.

R R Quarter Horse Ranch is located in the upper central part of Illinois on the far western side of the city of Elgin. It is approximately 45 miles northwest of downtown Chicago. The owner and operator of the ranch is Randy Liepitz. Randy has been buying, selling, breeding and showing (halter) American quarter horses for over 35 years. He was introduced to horses at the young age of 6 months when his grandfather put him on a saddled horse ready to take him on that first ride. Randy has enjoyed horses ever since.

Prior to the interest in quarter horses, Randy bred and showed the Appaloosa. Although there was a great interest with the appaloosa the interest has been greater with the American quarter horse.

I grew up in my childhood years in a small Northern New York town, Norfolk. Norfolk is between the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Adirondack Mountains along Route 56 between Massena and Potsdam. We had in my family 2 horses. A good friend of mine, Susan (Paquin) Villnave also had horses. Out of business school, in 1982, I moved to Illinois to be with 2 of my sisters. In 1999, I met my future husband Randy and with much excitement found Randy to also be a person that very much enjoyed horses. And so, I am here with Randy to help with the caring of the horses. Every summer we bale approximately 1,500 bales of hay for the horses for the winter months.

Each year there is born on the ranch at least one foal. We watch the foal grow each day until we determine if it is to stay for breeding on the ranch or it moves on to another owner. It takes us between 6 and 8 months to make a determination. Foals however do not leave until at least 6 months. All must be weaned from the mother first.

We do pasture breeding as well as hand breeding and have good results with both types of breeding.

We do have horses For Sale or Trade. That notation is listed at the end of the page in which it pertains. If you have any questions, please e-mail us at: horsecountry@prodigy.net. We will get back to you as soon as we can.

All horses are registered with the American Quarter Horse Association.
