The horses on the following pages are my personal horses.

Storm and Colonel have been with me since birth and were the result of stallions and mares that I owned at the time.  Madeira was a very important purchase for me and I studied quite a while before bringing him home as a weanling.  Rose has been a part of my life off and on for about fifteen years.  Peppy, at four, is the youngest and has been with me since he was two.

The horse industry is experiencing extraordinary circumstances, not seen before.  With so many horses in crisis, I do not take keeping stallions and breeding them lightly.  I have gelded several in recent years.  However, I feel the stallions that I have for sale, have unique bloodlines that should not perish while this industry readjusts for its future.

Three of my horses have the honor of representing the Foundation Quarter Horse Breed in Fran Lynghaug’s new book entitled “ The Official Horse Breeds Standards Book.”  This book will be available internationally in October of 2009.  What a thrill it has been for me to have two of the three horses featured in such an important book, bred on my farm. They were the result of years of studying pedigrees!

These horses are well socialized and have been one-owner horses (with the exception of Rose and Peppy) and have been handled consistently since birth.

We have an interesting phenomenon in the horse industry that I truly wish would change.  Everyone advertises, no matter how old the horse, that they have a completely sound horse.   Hmm…..  I’m now middle aged and I certainly have some wear and tear from the years, I wouldn’t consider myself completely sound!  Our horses as they age, have some wear and tear like we do.  Some people honestly don’t see that their horse isn’t moving properly, don’t realize that the horse  is fussing for the farrier because he has the start of some arthritis or back pain, etc.  Others do and ignore it!  The things I have seen over a lifetime career with horses have been painfully sad.  I would like to see a day where it is generally accepted that horses have health issues, just like people, and that those issues are disclosed for better health, happiness and relationships of horses and owners. 

I am interested in attaining lifetime homes for my special horses.  I will disclose everything that I know about them because I want them to have a successful relationship with their new owner.  With the exception of Rose and Peppy (though I think I have most of their history) the others have been in my care their entire lives.

If you are looking for a horse that does not have a history of multiple owners, handlers and trainers, that has been handled and trained in a consistent manner, which facilitates an emotionally balanced individual, that is well socialized and responsive to their handler and that you will have their complete medical history, I may have the horse you are interested in!
