Lassen Ranch is nestled in the high mountains of the Sierra Nevadas in Northern California. The Ranch is surrounded by the Lassen National Wilderness, just outside Mineral, California. Lassen Ranch was originally homesteaded in the late 1800’s and has a long and rich history. Originally settled as a summer range cattle ranch, it later was used as a midpoint grazing area for central valley cattlemen moving their herds from the winter valley ranches to the early spring and summer cattle grazing range of the High Sierra. By the early 1950's through the late 1970’s the ranch was also home to a thriving lodge and bar utilized by local loggers working in the then growing timber industry. Lassen Ranch is set at over 4000-foot elevation and has the exclusive and private ownership and use of over a mile of the south-fork of Battle Creek in the high Sierra Nevada wilderness.

In the middle 1990’s the ranch began its present journey back to its roots with the focus on breeding, raising and training the American Quarter Horse. The ranches very limited brood mare band have a traditional cutting horse foundation which includes Doc O’lena, Bueno Chex, Smart Little Lena, Royal Blue Boon and Lenard Milligan. These foundational bloodlines are being crossed with modern bloodlines with a focus on two great sons of the legendary Metallica Cat: include Stevie Rey Von, and Hashtag. The ranch also breeds annually to Bet Hesa Cat, and the Lassen Ranch resident stallion, LR Blue Mate (Mecom Blue x OK Mate by Smartmate).

Although the ranches facility is small by modern standards, the seasonal training facility is exceptionally constructed and well maintained. The training facility includes a 145' x 290' arena; and two round pens. The larger cutting round pen is 110' in diameter. All training areas have six inches of compacted decomposed granite with three to six inches of washed sand.
