ALL of my students and horses have been Series Champions at various local shows for several years, from Leadline to the Open classes. We maintain a Champion string of lesson horses with a variety of breeds including Arabian, Welsh, Paint, Dartmoor, Andalusian, Morgan, Quarter Horse, Thoroughbred, Connemara, Appaloosa and my favorite breed, adopted from the Bureau of Land Management and trained by Sharon Rooks- formerly born in the Wild Mustangs.(I call them American Warmbloods) I have the ability to train any breed to go in optimum way possible for it's particular conformation, and all that I train are superior performance horses. Our stable includes: Stars Go Blue (formerly It's All Blue) , American Idol (Clay), Lord of the Ring formerly Buddyguard(Buddy), Tobeonkanobi (Toby), Athena-Goddess of Wisdom, No Small Miracle (Brady), Maybe It's Maybelline (Lena), You Don't Know Jack (Jack), Sparkies Cajun Moon (Starlight) and with us for the summer and also Champions at Equine Country in 2008/09 are Capri Sun, Patrick Star, and Texas Lonestar.(and now they are Champions at Wonderland on 8/15/09 with their owners, the Shufords, video is on facebook)
