Mystic

This photo of Arrow's Mystic Gold was taken yesterday. She looks better and better to me all the time. We rode her dam for the first time recently. We look forward to riding her out at the field trial park soon. I look forward to riding this girl myself in a few years.

Lilly

This is Lilly, one of my new poms. She is the most shy and spends a lot of her time behind the couch. She is fat, Jilly is fat too but Lilly is the worst. They get more exercise now I think.

Pomeranians

I have two new Pomenanians. Lilly and Jilly. Since I don't have a camera yet I am posting a photo of Peach. She was my first Pom and the best so far. These new dogs are supposed to be bred to a tea cup poodle. I will post photos as soon as I can. This photo of Peaches was taken at the Orla Mill.

I have been a hippophiliac {lover of horses} all my life. I was born in Garden Grove CA where we could not have horses. After wanting one for so long and saving LOTS of dimes and pennies, in the summer of 73 we moved to Norco CA. I finally got my first horse at age 7. She was a hateful Appaloosa mare in foal. Boy did those first horses teach me some things. By the time I was 10 I no longer had my own horse and had to ride the horses no one else wanted to, if I wanted to ride. I could ride horses my friends and family could not. I got the chance to work with show horses of several breeds and disciplines growing up. I lived within riding distance of Ingall’s Park so saw lots and lots of shows. My brother’s girlfriend (now his wife) showed Morgan horses and later their trainer bought the place across the road from my parents. Quite by accident I got into training horses. I mean that was all I wanted to do anyway, but to make money at it? COOL! I was 13. I started with rehabbing outlaw horses (a very learning experience for me) and went on to starting young Arabian horses then Morgans. In the early 90’s I moved to the Missouri Ozarks, near Ava. There I opened my own training barn open to the public. I trained horses for a living there for over 10 years before a bad marriage and an injury put an end to that. After the divorce and loss of my farm I traveled around quite a bit. I learned a lot and had good and bad times. I am now back home in the Ozarks with a brand new plan. I plan to build the ultimate trail horse. What that means to me is, big, bold, and beautiful. I want a horse pretty enough to show on the weekends, athletic enough to ride all day over rough terrain… day after day, and smart enough to save my life if need be, with a walk to bring tears to your eyes!!! I plan to start with the best blooded brood stock, with outstanding conformation, large hearts, big motors, and beautiful color...that can walk the walk, in the building of my ideal trail horse.
