Rita Crundwell & the Meri-J have perfected the fine art of breeding. The ultimate thrill for them is to see a foal they have bred and raised...end up in the victory circle. A perfect example is seven-time World Champion stallion Acoolest. Rita is shown here with Attest, his three-time World Champion dam, who was bred by the Percott Co. Rita enjoyed showing Attest to her World Championships and has gained even more satisfaction watching her son grown up and take the same honors in the winner's circle.

One thing remains more satisfying than leading World Champions and that is watching one of their foals grow up to make dreams come true for a new owner. That’s because Rita Crundwell & AQHA Pro Horseman Jim McKillips of the Meri-J Ranch are in the business of breeding, developing and selling champions. Their focus is on providing you with an opportunity to own a champion, whether you want to breed your own...or simply buy one.
