Paint Stallion for Sale in Alpine, TX
Ace is an eye catching, world class gelding. He does anything that you ask him to do. He is a great pattern horse. I just started him in a very mild curb bit. He has just learned flying lead changes. Ace has been started in western and hunter under saddle. He really takes to a cow. His next venture is learning how to pull a wagon. Currently he is being used as a lesson horse for beginners on the Sul Ross State University's Equestrian Team.

About Alpine, TX
The area had been a campsite for cattlemen tending their herds between 1878 and the spring of 1882, when a town of tents was created by railroad workers and their families. Because the section of the railroad was called Osborne, that was the name of the small community for a brief time. The railroad needed access to water from springs owned by brothers named Daniel and Thomas Murphy, so it entered into an agreement with the Murphys to change the name of the section and settlement to Murphyville in exchange for a contract to use the spring. In November 1883, the Murphys registered a plat for the town of Murphyville with the county clerk of Presidio County. The town's name was changed to Alpine on February 3, 1888, following a petition by its residents.
