Hi

I love talking horses. I started riding in 1960 when I got my first pony for my birthday. I started training for the public when I was in high school and have kept it up to some degree ever since.
I also give lessons mostly to either very young girls or to "older" people who have always wanted a horse.
Right now we have 9 horses. Dakota, Pinto gelding. 11 years and just grey now tho he was black and white when he was much younger. Glow is Dakota's daughter. She makes me wish I hadn't gelded Dakota so soon. She's big and a bay tobiano. Brio is a "free" horse. He was supposed to be a pinto mare but when he came out a solid colt he was given away. He's 3/4 Arab and was so small we thought he'd remain pony sized. He's 5 and 14.1. I would have thought he'd never make more than 13.1.
Melly is a reg. shetland mare who is my grandson's pony. Shelby is my lesson pony and she presented us with Chance last year. He was a surprise! Shelby is sorrel and about 13.2 Chance is chestnut and will be bigger than his mom.
Princess is another freebee. She needs lots of help to become a good pony. I don't have enough time for her but it's impossible to find a good home for her so she stays. Jack is another lesson horse. He's a 16.2 few spot appaloosa gelding who is a great grandson of Secretariat. Then Honey is the last. We've had her about 8 months. She's a little QH mare that I broke for some people about 4 years ago. They never rode her after I sent her home and just gave her to me this spring.
They keep me busy!

Wow! Quite a herd. I wonder if you still have them. I'd love to see a photo of Jack. I have a granddaughter of Secretariat, but she's all TB.

I can just imagine the joy you've given to those older people who have wished to ride for so many years, and then were able to do so. And safely.

Thank you for telling us all about your equine family.

It's such a shame that everbely didn't stay active in the group. I'd love to know what's been going on with her horses since she posted that back in 2006.

I've dredged up a few old posts in hopes that some of the ppl I sent PMs to will stop by and see that we want to know about them.
