Maynard & Jackie Alves invite you to explore an American Quarter Horse tradition...A tradition that started 40 years ago with a vision of the ideal Quarter Horse. A tradition that has led to a striking uniformity in the Alves Quarter Horses. Where careful breeding continues to provide generations of strong and intelligent animals expressing excellent behavior and conformation.
This tradition continues today with a solid foundation for the all-around performance Quarter Horse. The Alves bloodlines provide excellent conformation, good minds, athletic ability and lot's of cow sense.
