Our Story
Lindzie Huber
Lindzie grew up on her family's farm and ranch in the southern Black Hills of South Dakota. Horses have always played a big roll in her life from the time she could sit in the saddle. She grew up learning to ride by checking cows on the families old rope horse, Grey Ghost and through her local 4-H club, she was able to compete in horse shows and rodeos. As a teenager, Lindzie went on to start her first horse from the ground up, a paint mare called Fergi. Shortly after, she went on to breed and foal out her first mare and from there she was hooked.
Lindzie's ultimate goal from that point on was to develop her own breeding program. She set to work studying bloodlines, conformation, breeds, and more to figure out her plan. After years of trials, unexpected loss, set backs, and slow starts, she is excited to now have a full line up of mares set to foal in 2026.
Ady, Lindzie’s daughter, also picked up the love for horses. Ady likes to spend her time training her pony, Princess Panda.

Our Program
Growing up working with cattle has greatly influenced the Diamond Quarter Horse program. The Huber's have been known to keep around a few temperamental mama cows and a bull or two with relatively strong opinions. Having a solid partner that will work with you all day, keep you and your kids safe, and then load up and go run at the rodeo is an invaluable asset to any barn. Here at Diamond Quarter Horses, our goal is to produce the Diamond Standard of all around horses.
Diamond Quarter Horses is a relatively young breeding program being officially established in 2020 with the purchase of our first stallion, Harlans Firewater. We take pride in knowing that our extensive research and lived experience has helped bring together an exceptional string of horses. We take extra care and consideration to carefully select horses that are built to outlast both physically and mentally. These mares and stallions are the foundation of a program that is dedicated to making horses with quality breed in and not fed in. This is the standard that makes Diamond Quarter Horses.
Conformation is the study of the structure of an animal and it is pillar number one of our program. It can tell you a lot about a horse from what they would excel at competitively, to potential soundness issues. While you will find conformational differences between horses breed to run and horses breed to work a cow, here at Diamond Quarter Horses we expect all of our stock to have a standard of conformation from hoof, to hip, to head that will keep them them structurally sound for the entirety of their life.
Disposition and temperament play no small part in what we breed and produce in the Diamond Quarter Horse program. In fact, we consider these two things to be so important that, together, they make up the second great pillar of our program. A good minded, common sense horse is worth his weight in gold. This no nonsense, ready to learn attitude is notable in our foals from the first halter session.
The primary goal of the Diamond Quarter Horse breeding program is to produce long lasting, all around working horses that you're proud to call your partner. As breeders, we take on the responsibility of considering things like lineage, genetic disease testing, conformation, temperament, and train ability so you don't have to. We want to make sure that you bring home a horse who is going to suit your needs. That is the Diamond Standard.
