Past Memories
Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones. Thich Nhat Hanh
I enjoy young horses, I love to teach, I have a strong set of families and friends that support me. Even though I do not dwell on the past, it is what it is. You should never hold regrets, because that past is what made you into the person you are today and brought you to your present place. I share with you some of the many pictures I have from my crazy twisted journey to where I am today.

Brown
Sold October, 2012 to Ashlyn of Coal Valley, IL her first horse!
$1000
15.2 hand tall and 4 years old
"Brownie" has had tons of ground training, bombproof as far as I can tell 30 days riding at age 2, another 30 days as a 3 year old. This horse is SUPER calm and could be an awesome horse. His canter and trot are very smooth and flat knee movement. This picture was taken last summer, first time rode since the summer before, when he only had 30 days training, and as you can see he was super relaxed. I am now beginning to put more hours on this guy, and with his awesome in your pocket personality its a blast. Hes eager to please and learn and has an awesome personality. He just needs someone to put some time in him. Owner, Michelle, is a friend without enough time to put in to him. LOCATED OFF SITE, in Orion, IL.

Black Jack
Sold in June, 2012 to Tina of Milan, Illinois-her first horse!
$3000
Paint Gelding standing 15.1 hands
I believe he is 5 years old.
He neck reins well as well as moving off of your leg. He has some get up and go if you ask him to, and he is collecting quite well too now that I have been getting him going. This big barreled guy is a lover and craves attention ALL the time. Has been ridden on some big trail rides too from what I understand, loads and ties well with no vices to boot. Will make someone a great horse, would even make a great 4-H project I believe with his constant attention driven attitude a strong rider could take him up to being a solid horse without supervision. All of the paints have had at least 30 days professional training by Justin Vroman of Atkinson, IL.

The Red Baron (Tucker)
Sold in June, 2012 to Leah of Minnesota
$2500 comes with saddle pads, blanket, 2 bridles, girth, grooming stuff, polo wraps/splint boots
1993 14.1hand Welsh Pony Gelding
Cute and friendly, Tucker is a barn favorite. He has a school horse mentality, and is safe enough to take beginners around their first course over fences but also spunky enough for an intermediate rider. Honest with a great work ethic, he has competed extensively in jumper classes at local shows, performing well in the 2’6 and 2’9 divisions. He has also competed successfully in horse trials at the Beginner Novice height, and is a blast during cross country where he is brave and energetic, even through water. He is relaxed on trails, and behaves well even when ridden by beginners. A gentleman on the ground, he can be caught easily and trailers well. He is sound and an easy keeper. Reluctant sale by owner, who is going to college this fall.

Oliver
Sold in June, 2012 to a beginner 4-H girl in Illinois-her first horse!
$2,000 2007 15.2 hands paint Gelding
Reining prospect, has the look, and is a total saint, to add. I have him, after only 3-4 rides doing role backs, side passing, stopping on a dime, starting flying changes, etc. A young, total beginner came to ride him and he VERY slowly walked around and trotted with her yanking on his mouth, and barely able to steer. All that and he is only 5 ...years old! He will make an excellent pleasure horse with his naturally slow, collected, and balanced jog and lope. This horse could go in any direction, he is slow naturally, but has speed if you decide to tap into it as well. He neck reins and steers of your leg, stands while mounted, and even will trailer well. He has even been a dependable trail horse on the 100 mile stock horse ride in Chanderville. I would easily recommend this horse to any 4-H kid looking to 'dibble dabble' in a little of all the events.
