"MURPHY" is a 9 yr. old thoroughbred. He is 16.3 hands and has very recognizable spots all over his body. Murphy came to me with the passing of preliminary horse Griffin, and has been the best friend and partner I could ask for. He is a cross country machine and really enjoys his job. His favorite snacks are mints and enjoys the occasional gummy bears. In 2009 Murphy moved up to Intermediate level and is completed at CCI** in Fall 2010. He is looking to move up to the advanced level in spring of 2012.

"Kali' is a seven year old thoroughbred mare that I purchased in June of 2011. She has been a great addition to the barn and I really have enjoyed bringing along another wonderful horse. She has a great attitude and shows a lot of promise. At her first USEA recongized event she finished on her dressage score of a 31.5 and finished third. This mare will be moving up to training level in the spring of 2012.

Bijou is a ten year old 14.2 awesome mare owned by Cindy Burke in Iowa. After Bijou's previous rider was injured in 2009, Cindy graciously sent me Bijou to hopefully bring her along and eventually find her a home where she can compete at her true potential. Bijou is super easy to ride and a very flashy little pony. Bijou will be aiming for a spring CCI* in 2011 or until sold.
Catch Me If You Can
"Shadow" is a 10 year old German Sport Pony owned by Erin Melloy. Erin has been a huge help to me and I have really enjoyed helping bring "Shadow" along and love seeing Erin and Shadow together. Shadow is a super star pony and moved up to novice this past year. He won at Fox River Valley Pony Club mini in the ON and was 2nd in the ON at Hunter Oaks in July 2010.
In Loving Memory of Griffin: Seventh Step
The horse who had a heart of gold brought me up to the preliminary and one star levels. He was a 14 yr old 16 hand gelding and fulfilled every wish I asked of him. He gave me strength, confidence, and the opportunity to push myself. Never saying no, this horse schooled anything we put him at. I only had one cross country penalty on him when I was sick and had a 102 fever, obvisouly knowing I should not have been riding. He was a great horse. He would let my Dad ride him and then let me get on him and jump him over intermedaite size fences. Without having Griffin in my life, I know I would not be where I am today. He was not an easy ride, but one that showed me what hard work and dedication truly mean.
Somewhere in times own space
In some sweet pastured place
Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow
Someplace where horses go
For the love that guides my pen
I know great horses live again

Thank you Griffin for everything you taught me, I thank you every day.
