ROMEO WHITE FEATHERS

1995 Cremello Stud

Frenchmans Guy x Time For Sharni

Romeo White Feathers passed away on August 1, 2019, at the age of 24, at the ranch of Enoch and Dixie Schaffer near Broadus, MT. Romeo was a son of Frenchmans Guy. Born a cremello, Romeo proved himself as a performance horse, even though 3 old local cowboy’s advice was against him due to his color.

Romeo had an outstanding disposition. There were many times you forgot he was even a stallion with his gentleman ways. He produced off-spring that inherited his disposition and color. The Schaffer’s corral is full of palominos and buckskins.

Romeo White Feathers competed in the 5-state area at PRCA and amateur rodeos. Romeo placed at several barrel racing and team roping futurities. In 2003 Romeo and Enoch won the 5 State Breeders Heeling Rope Horse Maturity and placed on the heading end, too. Romeo also won the Powder River Working Horse in 2002 winning 5 out 10 events, reining, ranch riding, confirmation, barrels and heeling.

He played a large part in the foundation of the Schaffer children rodeo careers. Romeo competed in so many events; barrels, poles, goats, breakaway, team roping, calf roping, ribbon roping, hazing and even babysitting. 

Some of their achievements on Romeo were:
• KayTee - 2008 Montana High School State Girls all-round
​• Keaton – 2009 National Jr High Finals team roping & goat tying, where they placed in go.
​• Claire – 2013 & 2014 National Jr High Finals Pole Bending

Romeo was the 2013 North Dakota Horse of the Year (barrels, poles, breakaway, goats and team roping). 

RL Performance Horses is moving forward with the legacy of Romeo White Feathers by crossing his daughters to Peptos Pretty Kitty, (Palo Duro Cat, High Brow Cat & Peptoboonsmal). We have expanded our program with the addition of a stallion, Romeos Got A Gun Too, who is a grandson of Romeo White Feathers, and great grandson of Freckles Playboy, Frenchmans Guy, and Hard Cash Dash.

The Schaffer family would like to thank everyone who has purchased a Romeo White Feathers offspring. The last of his colts will be offered at the Sperry Sale in Beach, ND on Sunday, August 11th, 2019.
