Fall Training

What a time we have had!  Felicia Britt has been here for two weeks working with four Gypsies and Dave and I.  It feels like a crash course in Fitting a Horse For Show....and it was.  I am slowly going through her notes to us and though winter is approaching, it will be productive.  We have a clear picture of how to do the work, and I am so impressed with our stallion Sparky, I am ready to rent a billboard!  What an awesome fella he is!  He works hard, is sensitive and smart, a real stand up stud! Cracker, Producer's Heiress, and Lady Teagan were also great students and have impressed us as well.  Lady T made the greatest transition from a petulant filly to a youngster listening and trying in a big way.


We will be focusing on Sparky and his offspring in regard to shows and expos.  His foals are outstanding, displaying his disposition and willing nature, as well as the best characteristics of the mare.   As it is the desire of every responsible breeder to stand a sire that will reproduce better than himself and breed mares that do the same, we believe our mares and stallion do exactly that.  Aggie and Clara, both coming four, will be bred to Sparky in the spring, offered for sale ...in foal....for $15,000 each.  A fantastic two for one package if there ever was one.
