"Sweetpea"

This is Sweetpea, my wonderful horse! She is a registered Tobiano Pinto, 10 years-old and full of personality. When I purchased her at 4.5 years old, she was green broke and I was just green. We have taken a wonderful journey together to get where we are. She is very smart and willing to learn. We love outdoor adventures as well as learning in the arena. We enjoy many trips on the trails to new places, ocean beaches and currently have started competitive trail competitions. What makes her so special is that she has taught me more than I could ever teach her!

"Acorn"

Acorn is special to me in so many ways. Acorn is an exceptional horse. She has given me the confidence to go places that I have only dreamed of. We have experienced the Lost Coast in rugged Northern California, the beauty of the giant redwood forest, jumping logs at the beach, and swimming through lakes and streams. Acorn and I have a special bond that has helped me be better with, and for, horses. Acorn has helped me feel safe. I feel lucky to have Acorn in my life as she has taught and shown me so much!

"Dakota"

Dakota is an 18 year-old Spotted Saddle Horse. He craves attention on the ground, and loves to play! On trail rides he will cross anything, go up anything, and encourage anyone on the trail. He has been a teacher for both his riders, and other horses on trails. He has many years under his belt, and has many more to go!

"Jenna"

Meet Jenna, a 9 year-old Norwegian Fjord mare. She is the sweetest horse on the planet.

"Judge Brandy"

Judge Brandy is a Thoroughbred broodmare and this is a picture of her 2010 foal when he was 3 days old. Her just-turned 3 year-old, "No Bond Per Judge", raced 3 times as a 2 year-old and got a first and two seconds. People in the racing world love and highly regard mares who can produce 2 year-old winners.

"Noah"

Meet 4 year-old Noah, who got his name when he was born during a flood. Haflingers are just beauty all around, from head to tail, and from mind to heart. I spent time with Noah at my neighbors, and when he was a year old my parents bought him for me as a gift. Noah has been the greatest gift since then. In four years, he has given me more than I could give in five lifetimes. I am very excited to use him in Pony Club, and let my bond with him get only stronger as I fly over jumps in glory, on the back of a four-legged heart!

"Rusty"

Rusty Executive is a 6 year-old Quarter Horse gelding who we have raised since he was 7 months old. Rusty is an all around easy-going guy who willingly does anything asked of him. Presently, Rusty is multi-tasking. He is helping an 8 year-old girl get ready to show in an open show. She has been taking riding lessons on him and is learning to smile again. Her other horse ran away with her, so Rusty is helping her gain confidence and she is very excited about riding in the show and maybe winning a prize! At the same time, Rusty is polishing his trail horse skills, as he will be competing in ACTHA's America's Favorite Trail Horse Challenge. Rusty has competed in numerous obstacle challenges and has even ambled up on a bear while riding in our national forest. He likes all kinds of challenges and people. Rusty is a versatile, likeable and beautiful horse, inside and out!

"Spitfire"

This is my horse, Spitfire. He is registered both Half Mustang and POA as "Nevada Spitfire Bur". I raised him from a baby out of my BLM adopted Mustang mare and my parents POA pony stallion. He is my best buddy. He is a bay leopard 16 year-old gelding, but acts like a colt. He has such a sense of humor for a horse, sometimes grabbing the muck fork out of my hands, and doing other silly things. He is the boss of my little herd, even though he is the smallest at just 13 1/2 hands tall. He is a big horse in a pony suit! We have done all kinds of riding (English, Western, Dressage, Costume Class, etc) so he is a jack of all trades, but a master of Trail Riding. He loves to get out on a new trail, or one we haven't been on for awhile and he has tons of endurance. When I ride with people who don't know him, they ask if my pony will be able to keep up through the ride. I just laugh and say "Just watch him!", later when their bigger horses are tired, Spitfire is getting his second wind! He loves everyone, especially if you have a treat for him and his favorite are Fig Newtons! But even though he is so friendly with everyone, he loves me most, prefering me to ride him and always extra happy to see me if I've been away. Once during a bad thunderstorm at an event, he even held my thumb tightly between his lips until the storm passed, I was his security blanket!

"Trixie"

This is Trixie, my best buddy, we are a great team. She is 12 years-old and we have been friends for 10 years now. We love to go to the beach together and compete together. She has the biggest, kindest heart and loves to please. Trixie has taught many children how to ride and done it with such grace. A new filly is in the barn, and she is teaching her everything she knows with lots of patience. I cannot imagine my life without her. She has been a true blessing to all that come to know her.

"Fox"

Meet "Fox." He is a Friesian/Thoroughbred cross. When I went out to visit a horse farm to choose a 2 year-old, I walked into the herd and asked who wanted to come home with me. He was the only one who came running up and we played with a jolly ball, kicking it around the yard. None of the other horses took any notice, so it was decided. This picture was one of my early rides on him after being broke at age 4. He's now a gorgeous 17hh seven year-old, filled out and not as gangley as he looked then. He's a show-off, loves doing dressage and just started jumping - which he thinks is a fun game. I hope one day we'll be able to do some 3-day eventing and fox hunting. He has an amazing sense of humor and makes me laugh every day. After our trail ride today, he gave me a great big horse kiss all over my face!
