Geldings
Colton
Colton has been my show gelding for years. In 2003 he had orthroscopic surgery, then in 2005 I had two knee surgeries, and then my mother passed away. These events kept us out of shape & out of the show ring. In spring of 2010, we are getting back into “show shape,” with hopes to compete again this summer. Colton is the love of my life; We have been through so much together that to this day he soothes me when I need it.
I would like to honor my father’s mounts at this time: His riding mare, “Pepsi”, saved his life. While out hunting miles away from our home, a blizzard suddenly hit and he couldn’t even see the horn of his saddle, never mind trying to find his way home. He could only sit, and let Pepsi walk. After quite some time had passed, my father was able to make out a faint glow in the distance. Pepsi had navigated her way back to our house where our yard light was on in the evening. Pepsi went on to product a terrific foal, whom we enjoyed on many trails even after dad passed away. My father and I had a wonderful time breeding these hearty mountain horses. Sometime in the 80s one of our clients from overseas bought Fancy, an appaloosa mare, and flew her to Germany where they live… NOW that’s a switch!

Duke
Registered “Double O Seven”
In 2009 I awaited the arrival of the foal out of Lillie and the stallion Dacaprio. The wait was worth every minute. This stunning colt takes your breath away. Duke is a bay with a white perfect star, a white pastern, and two half pasterns with ermine spots. His disposition is wonderful and his gaits very very fancy. At the time of this description, early 2010, he and Colton are buddies. This amazes me as Colton is usually nasty to any other horse that takes my attention away from him.
Duke is so smart that he picks up his lessons quickly. We like them to stand still for the farrier, be tied, bathed, clipped and load on and off a trailer and just be patient enough for coming yearlings to stand still for a few moments. I am always a bit smug if I have a foal loading and or getting back in the trailer somewhere and another person is having a REALLY hard time doing the same thing with an older horse sometimes even with help. These lessons take forever as foals have the attention span of a gnat. During their recess we go on to something else or ride and have another lesson or two again.

Turbo
Registered “Finest Attraction”
At 2 AM July 15, 2007 the evening of our son’s wedding reception, which was in our arena, I went to check on Lillie and found Turbo dancing to the music. He was literally turbo charged. The blend of Flemmingh and Lillie was an excellent one. Turbo is a bay with one sock that has ermine spots. He was and remained the most mature of the three boys. A few weeks after he was born he started to grow a bit too fast. When he came in at night after a day of playing I put standing wraps around his knees. His temperament is awesome as the first time I did this he stood perfectly still and stood still each time I put them on him.
He showed us that he wanted to jump over anything as he galloped through the fields. All the boys were fantastic to work with as we were able to put a bareback pad on them at two and then a light weight saddle and take them for walks up the hay field. They also accepted a bit on a head stall easily and walked around on a halter.
So with a lump in my throat I put them on the truck to Pennsylvania in the late fall of 2009. They needed to acclimate to their new surroundings and start Preschool with Sahar in 2010.

Gandolf
Registered “Delighted Diccy”
Gandolf is a 1997 Oldenburg gelding. He is a full 16.2 hands gray. I fell in love with him the first time that I saw him as he reminded me of my wonderful thoroughbred mare Cassie. He can be a real clown. One time when he was not participating in a real clinic, he put his head out of the stall, grabbed his blanket and shook it until someone paid attention to him. He is very wise and is often a babysitter for the younger horses. 
We can put him next to any horse, and put even the most inexperienced rider on him. He is talented and I can tell that he had a good start in Germany. He was very loved there before he was brought here and he is still loved by every one at the barn. His presence makes him a favorite among the staff and all of the visitors.
