"Cody" - Whiskey Hard Twist
I had been looking for a horse for several months and tried quite a few, I knew I wanted a good minded, ranch raised quarter horse but was finding it difficult to find the "right" one.  While browsing the web, again, I found Diamond Tail Ranch. I read all over the website and was very impressed with what I read and the feeling I had about the people writing it. The whole set up for breeding and the way the horses are raised was just what I was looking for,  I eventually flew, on my own, to see the Flitners and the horse, of course. It was snowing and bitterly cold but they could not have taken better care of me or given more time with the horse. I rode him indoors and across the ranch in the snow. He was everything I wanted, wonderful temperament, good mind and solid and sound with a wonderful conformation. I have now owned "Cody" for three and a half months and he has settled so well to his new life and bonded with our other horse so well. He just continues to amaze me as he accepts everything I ask of him and does it willingly.
We have just returned from our first competitive trail trial and he was just awesome. I get compliments about him, how good looking he is how gentle he is and what a good mind he has, the way he approaches strange things, this happened again today numerous times, people say "how did you find such a good horse" I then of course tell them where he came from and how long it took me to find him but how, once I knew you guys how I knew he was for me.
I adore this horse and have become good friends with Tim and Jamie, I shall be forever thankful to them for breeding him for me and the fate that took me to Diamond Tail. Cody and I are partners for life.

“Big Oak” – Leos Okie Moon
This Spring I realized that I was afoot. My good ranch gelding was lame and not getting any better. I needed an honest, reliable, aged gelding who could go right to work. I’ve been blessed to have ridden some wonderful horses in my lifetime so I had some very definite ideas of what I was looking for. I needed a horse that I could step on and ride away from the corral with no fuss or rodeo. I needed a horse who knew what a cow was and knew what to do when he got to that cow. I needed a horse I could rope off of, cross water with and who would stand next to a cut bank so I could climb on him. The horse I was looking for had spent lots of miles behind a cow, had lots of wet saddle blankets pulled off his back and knew how to find his meal between the rocks and sagebrush in a Wyoming pasture. I knew I needed to find a “cowboy outfit” that raised and rode the horses they had bred and were proud to put their brand on those same horses.

Jamie Moore Flitner and I have been friends all of our lives, she comes from one of the finest ranching families in the state of Wyoming. I knew Jamie was married to Tim, a long legged cowboy from over the mountain who raised good horses and cows. I looked at their website and loved what the Diamond Tail Ranch had to offer and what they had to say about their operation. I called and visited with Tim and he told me he had two horses that he thought might work for me. My husband Doug and I loaded up and headed to Greybull. We saddled up both horses and Tim took us for a ride out through the heifers. Within the first five minutes I knew I had found the horse I was looking for – “Big Oak”. He has all those attributes I mentioned above and much more. I have ridden him through branding, summer sorting and now shipping. He is the same ride every time and I know I am no longer afoot. Thanks Tim and Jamie for raising exceptional horses at the Diamond Tail Ranch and for letting “Big Oak” become a part of my life!
