"Fellow"

Meet MMF Felarof, a.k.a. "Fellow".
He is the son of a very famous endurance sire, Dr. Thunder Bask (AKA Doc). Doc had 18K competitive miles and was the highest mileage stallion on record at the time of his death. I bought Fellow at age 5 as a greenbroke gelding. Fellow and I have competed in numerous endurance rides, with several top ten finishes and a Best Condition. His fastest 50 mile ride was 5 hours and one minute....! Our favorite thing to do however is ride on the Tahoe Rim Trail. Fellow has taught many beginners to ride, from a 9 year-old to a 60 year-old. He is a very patient schooling horse who takes care of his rider. When you think of his ability to go very fast when asked, yet take great care of the human on his back, he is quite a horse.

"American Cream Draft Horse"

These are American Cream Draft Horses. This breed is on the endangered list. There are only 400 in the USA today. The foal was born July 23rd and is named Grant. The mother is Barbara and is 7 years-old. This is her first baby and she's a wonderful mom. They are used to pull carts and ride mostly English.

"PH Gai Linseyn"

This is PH Gai Linseyn, a 7 year-old Arabian Gelding. The picture was taken after his ride at the Arabian Youth National horse show. Clarisse, his rider, was spending some personal time relaxing after they got a 70.312, securing a 9th position out of 22 in the intro dressage class while competing against seasoned horses and riders. The remarkable aspect is that Lin has been training only for 6 months and Clarisse for a year and a half.

"Darby"

Meet Epona's Gold Medal Nite -a.k.a. "Darby". He is an Irish Draught Sport Horse colt, his dam is TB Saturday Nite Lady - "Lady." We hope he will be a grand prix jumper like his dad. He is a total sweetheart who adores attention.

"Cinderella"

Cinderella is a 7 year-old purebred Percheron mare rescued from a PMU farm in Canada, with the help of my friends in The International Blessed Broodmare Project, and The Animal Farm. She would have gone to slaughter, or to a farm that raised meat horses as the PMU farm she was on was closing down. She is an amazing horse...my dear, dear friend, and her mane is now 5 feet long! It hangs below her knees! Cinders is very patient and kind to me. I will be 60 years old soon, and she knows to be calm and gentle. She waits for me to scramble onto her back from a table, or vault on from a fence and doesn't move until I am safe. She loves my attention and tolerates hours of me fussing over her, bathing her and braiding up all that mane.

"Mr.R."

This is Mr.R. He is 22 years-old. He does hunter/jumper and dressage. He is so special because he is so reliable, and willing to do any thing you want.

"Rambo"

Meet Rambo, a 4 year-old Paint/Palomino gelding. I have waited over 35 years to finally have my own horse. No more leasing, no more working with other people’s horses, truly mine. I purchased my very first beautiful Paint mare and found out that she was not healthy. She would not stay sound and really should live the rest of her life as a pasture pal. I was devastated. That is until the wonderful angel of a woman that owns the farm where I was boarding said she would trade me, and would make sure the beautiful paint that couldn’t be ridden would live a wonderful life on her farm. She would trade me the 3.5 year-old gelding, Rambo, that she raised and now needed a "person”. I get to be “second mom” to my first paint and experience the love of my own horse as we grow together. What more could I ask for?

"CPF Jackson"

This is the 15 year-old mule gelding, CPF Jackson at the PA Region 1 4-H Round Up. Cheers for ears!

"Nugget"

Meet Showboats Gold Nugget, a.k.a. "Nugget", a 9 year-old
Tobiano/ Palomino Paint. She is my best friend, and I love her with all my heart. People think we are soul mates (ok, we are both blondes). She was green broke when I got her and we both have grown together.

"Sammy"

Sammy is an 8 year-old Clydesdale.

"Ginger"

This is Ginger, a 22 year-old Arabian. In her younger years, she showed both English and Western. She is now used as a lesson and trail horse for beginner riders; and has even been on a few search and rescue rides. She loves the attention that the little ones give her, and this is her newest friend, helping her get the hay she could not reach over the stall.
