Rancho Santiago raises Appaloosa mules.

We are located in the heart of the famous historical Texas ranching country.

Our ranch is located at Afton, Texas, which is 9 miles north of Dickens, Texas Dickens is 60 miles east of Lubbock, Texas, on highway 82 in the heart of ranch country.


The ranch lies between the Spur Ranch on the West, the Matador Ranch on the North, and the Pitchfork Ranch on the East.
We became interested in quality mules and Percheron draft horses listening to granddad A.N. "Ott" Gamble relate stories of trading and selling train carloads of mules and draft horses with farmers in East Texas. Granddad, at 13 years of age, drove freight wagons from Floydada, Texas, to Amarillo, Texas and back by himself. He would camp out at night on the wild plains

As a child, Jim Gamble would ride mules in the New Mexico mountains. Maria Gamble had her encounters with mules in central Mexico.
Our mule stock is raised gentle, out of top quality quality Appaloosa mares, and sired by a large standard Jack - selected for his ability to produce mules with exceptionally refined quality heads.
