"Beckwith Done is sired by our home bred and raised sire, Hickory Hackberry. Hickory Hackberry is one of the most influential sires of our entire program, siring exceptional females who are the modern day cornerstone of our breeding operation. Our main mounts are almost all Hickory Hackberry sons or daughters. Beckwith Done's maternal gransdire is Boonylensma. Boonylensma was a highly regarded American Quarter Horse stallion sired by the legendary cutting horse Peptoboonsmal. Known for siring athletic, cow-savvy offspring with great minds, his bloodlines have proven particularly successful in ranch versatility, cow horse, and cutting disciplines.  Clark Farms Quarter Horses is a multi-generational AQHA Heritage Breeder in Pennsylvania that hosts an annual colt-starting event that draws hundreds of spectators and potential buyers for their homebred colts. First held in 2018 with eight colt starters and a small crowd of spectators, the event has since bloomed into a weekend long event that attracts colt starters, spectators, vendors, and horse shoppers from as far as Florida, Canada and points in between to the family’s ranch in Hustontown, Pennsylvania. 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡 is the fifth-generation co-owner/operator of the 2,000-acre ranch. While Booth takes the lead on breeding and managing the herd, her father Jack and her grandmother Lois still play a role in the business. 
Months before the event, Booth begins selecting colt-starters to participate. Competitors draw for their spot in line to pick the horse they would like to work with. Once partnered, they have two 1.5-hour sessions on Saturday and one 1.5-hour session on Sunday to saddle, gentle, and prepare their horse for an obstacle course. The course includes a drag, a bridge, a back, and a stop. There are also cattle to track cattle—nothing too strenuous, just enough to give the crowd (and prospective buyers) a sense of their mindset, movement, and willingness. Obstacles can be completed in any order, but all must be attempted. 
The breeding program draws heavily from South Dakota rancher Chuck Crago’s bloodlines. Two Crago stallions in particular—Beckwith Dun (Classy Flap x Beckwith Babe) and Docs Decatholon (Doc O Lon x Miss Straw Cody)—have left a lasting impact on their herd.
They blend the “Old Cow Bred Foundation” bloodlines—King, Old Sorrel, Leo, and Three Bars—with the likes of Doc Bar, Docs Hickory, Dry Doc, Mr. San Peppy, and Peppy San Badger to create well-rounded, usable horses. 
“Our goal has always been to produce sound, solid, good-minded athletes with enough talent for everyone in the family to enjoy.”
