I started my horse purchasing in 1998 with Boomer when he was nine. I rode him everywhere. Now he is retired from being ridden, but Boomer has always been and still is the "king of the herd". Boomer is an AQHA Appendix Q-Horse.
In 2000 I purchased Mekeezun. She was a feisty APHA mare of 4 when I bought her, and she was in foal to Shadow. She was fun to ride, with reining and ranch training she could turn on a dime and move with the best of them. A cowboy friend had many joyful rides on her back. She passed away in July 2007. To read her story go to In Memory Of. It was on Mekeezun's death that I started making dream catchers. If you wish to see samples or want one for yourself, go to Dream Catchers.
In 2003 I purchased Cloud. He was 3 when I bought him, green broke and willing. Now he is my main riding horse. He loves to be ridden, enjoys visiting other horses, and in general is one of a kind. He is an APHA sorrel gelding.
I have always wanted a Friesian horse. I love the look, the movement and the temperament of this majestic breed. In 2002, to get started in my dream of a Friesian, I bred my paint mare Mekeezun to a Friesian stallion named Ljibbes Valour. And in March 2003 the result was the majestic Nitika.
In 2006, I re-bred Mekeezun to a different Friesian stallion, named Matthijs R.J. This union produced Metina a lovely filly. Mekeezun passed away when Metina was 7 weeks old. Metina is now sold as well.
In early 2008 I purchased Ouray and he is a wonderful sweet boy. His black and white colouring looks like arrows on his back and legs. He is an APHA gelding. He had been ridden a lot before I bought him, and has been being played with in the 7 Parelli games, where he really started to come into himself. He will make someone a great riding companion. He is for sale, please check out page Registered Paint Gelding For Sale.
In March 2008 I was fortunate to meet Avita (Jurjen X Able 344), a 2000 Friesian mare. She was for sale and the owner was willing to sell her after she had foaled. Over the next 8 months I waited impatiently while Avita foaled a lovely filly, and weaned her. Then in November 2008 she came to my farm.
In May of 2011, I brought home another Friesian mare. She was born in 1998. Her name is Tjalline Fan't Westerskar (Gradus 356 X Peke 268). Tjalline is pronounced Chaleenah. She has had 4 foals and is ridden dressage and western pleasure. She has been naturally horsemanship trained and reining trained.
Over the years I have been very privileged to be the companion of many dogs and cats. Currently Suwanee now 5 and Sakiri now 3 live with me, plus four cats. Each four legged has a different personality and creates a lot of fun and laughter for me and my friends.
