Thank you again for such a great horse! Acorn is super athletic and calm on all terrain. She takes care of her rider. Acorn has a goofy personality and is so fun to be around!

Just wanted to thank you guys. I know that you mentioned you didn't have Meg long, but I have to tell you she is a joy!! She is always the first one up in the pasture and wants all the attention. She has really helped me build up my confidence in riding. She has been a great joy to ride.

Thanks again,

I scanned a couple of pictures of Love running around and playing. He is the sweetest thing!

I had him scoped and he did have ulcers but we are through treating him now and he is doing wonderful, gained a lot of weight and has such a fun personality. He loves to have his tummy scratched. I have to have my arm operated on in January so for right now I am not being able to ride him but he is much loved and a part of our family!

Thanks

Just a note to tell you that Hickory has arrived safe and sound. He is Canadian now…..lol He sure is tired though. It sure was a long haul for him of course. Got him in his stall and looked around and found the water and had a nice drink and ate some hay. Groomed him up nicely from all the traveling sweat and his nose was just a twitching! Will give him a day rest and just groom him and get to know him a bit more before riding him. Will probably do that on Monday. Does this wee fella got a nice petite head. My halters are all to big for him. Will buy one special for this guy.

Forgot to ask you… What kind of bit do you use on him? And when was his last worming? And his last shoeing? Also, up here in Canada we do a spur stop on our horses.. Trainers do anyways. Is there certain commands you do with him, like kisses or clucks? Just would like to do the same commands as you do. Would make it much easier on him.

Can’t believe how cute he is? Nice size for me also. Thanks and have a wonderful day… Shall await your reply…

This awesome little pony never made it on our website; now in Ardmore, OK!

Abbey is a gorgeous little pony with near perfect conformation, she went to a very dedicated, motivated young girl. This young lady works hard and deserves the best. Abbey went to be a teacher, for now they want to go to some local shows for experience, with a goal of hopefully one day cleaning up in the barrels and poles. Abbey is a top of the line pony, before being sold to her new home, This is super little pony, and they are turning into a super team.

Hi! I just wanted to send you a note to thank you once again for suggesting Harrison to me. He is such a wonderful horse and has a terrific personality. It is hard to believe that he is so mature even though he is only four years old.

Now that I am mostly recovered from my injures and back to riding, I have been taking him to some local shows. This weekend we got four firsts and one second. Harrison is such a quick learner – one he sees something just once or twice he becomes a pro at it. I am planning on starting to work with him on reining again and also on trail riding. One of his best traits is his versatility. He is also the easiest horse to catch in the pasture – when he hears my voice he runs across the pasture and stands at the gate for me. Harrison is so unique (and smart) and he is a joy to have as part of our family.

We will be back to see you someday for a “husband horse”. We just bought some acreage so that we can have our horses live with us when we retire. So, if you come across an exceptional trail horse with “more whoa, than go” that would be a great beginner horse, please let me know.

I did have a lesson on Birkley Saturday and he was a good boy. I rode Sunday and he was like a little kid…..I don’t want to do this!!!!! We worked through it and he was just fine. I am taking another lesson with the trainer tomorrow evening and I can’t wait. She has him spinning, side passing, loping collected, trotting with his head down and collected….and a really good stop on him. He is still learning but he is catching on really quick. I just love him so much.

Now that he has filled out, muscled up and his coat is really pretty I get lots of compliments when I bring him out of his stall and other folks see him. Everyone says he is so pretty! They haven’t seen anything yet!

I will keep you posted and will send pics soon.

Take care,

Diego

Hope all is well back there in KY! Odie and I are up near Chama, NM for the summer and loving the temperatures and views.

Just thought you would like to know how he and I are working out. Today we did a 26 mile ride/walk across the border of CO/NM, most of it in some of the more rugged country that I’ve been in with a horse. Let’s put it this way…..we made our own trail.

After all my years of riding horses in the mountains of Colorado, northern BC Canada, and even in the wilds of Kyrgyzstan on the border of China, I can honestly say that Odie is one of those horses who is made for the mountains and loves every minute of it. I am extremely impressed with his agility and willingness to go anywhere and try anything. He cannot seem to get enough of going hard and exploring even the nastiest places in the woods. Just yesterday I rode him with a couple other horseback friends and even after 4 hrs of uphill at 9,000 ft +, he still was not wanting to go back to the corrals…even got kind of upset about ending the ride! I don’t know what his previous owners used him for, but if they had used him like I am I doubt they would have ever sold him.

From forging a chest-high river while packing our Jack Russell terrier, to sliding down a slippery mud slope on his butt and traversing a very bad patch of deadfall timber, he is truly a joy to ride and be around. All the fresh mountain grasses he can eat, and endless trails and backcountry to explore seem to have put him in horsey heaven. Plus, the cool 45 degree nights and 80’s of the day are very pleasant too.

When I get back from my upcoming backpacking trip into Wyoming I’m going to get him used to picket lines and hobbles. I plan on making a couple solo trips with overnights and need him to be able to graze at will during the night. I would just let him be free, but am afraid he would come sniff and harass me all night because I am resting when we could be riding! In three weeks we are helping move 1,000 head of cattle into another pasture here in the CO National Forest. Based on his eagerness to get after those critters today, I could be in for a little bit of “Man from Snowy River” action going after strays. Am getting him shod with cleat shoes this next week for better traction on those steep slopes.

I am so glad that the black horse that I was interested in that day sold..…otherwise I probably would never have had the chance to meet Odie and gain a new buddy and unbelievable riding horse. Sometimes horses just have untapped potential.

Attached are a few photos of myself and friends with Odie during our big trek today. These were taken in the portion of the ride where I needed the exercise more than him! Our friends are so in love with him….the gal is totally spoiling him with treats.

Please tell his previous owners “thanks” for starting him out so well, and also for not wanting to keep him (for whatever reason). Sometimes one person’s rock is another person’s diamond. He’s just a joy!

Thanks again for providing a great service to me and other people looking who are looking for their new best buddy.

Cheers,

Ashley S.

I just wanted to let you know that I absolutely adore Sadie. She is exactly what I have been looking for for a very long time. Next time you and Amanda make it to New Orleans you have got to come ride with us.

I am going to send you some pics of us riding on the levee. I have never put a saddle on her. I ride her bareback in a hack every time I go out. I have not found a saddle wide enough for her yet but she doesn’t need one. What type of bit would you recommend for her. I don’t want anything too harsh because she is so broke but something anybody could ride her in?

Also, do you have her regular shot schedule? The barn was asking what you all had given her while she was with you. Thanks so much for everything. She his such an awesome horse.
