Duane's Racking Horse: TeGa |
(which is cherokee for toad - his name was Tadpole... I figured he had grown out of that.) |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|||
|
chollo
|
(kings frosty revenue) pending | ||
| we bought him and brought him home on jan. 21st 2007 at 7 months old. he is 94% foundation quarter horse |
 |
||
 |
Duane gets him acclimated after the long ride home and then he meets TeGa. |
 |
|
| Meeting Mak was another story all together | and poor Susie just wanted out of the way!!! | ||
 |
 |
||
| Now they are all good friends... |
 |
||
| Those that have moved | (on to other homes) | ||
|
Big Ben Time: apha breeding stock gelding |
I started out training him to sell for his owner, and ended up buying him myself!! (I no longer work with horses that are for sale... second time I've bought them myself!!!) |
|
|
|
|
|
IN January of 07 I sent Benny to live at a
retirement home in Georgia. He had problems with navicular and ringbone in his feet and staying home while the other horses went riding and camping was depressing him. He has a retired mare as a companion who never leaves him... |

| Baron | My First Horse, after a 19 year break | ||
 |
 |
Due to complications from a snake bite in
July 2004, I had to retire Baron in March of the next year. He found a wonderful home on a 50 acre pasture with a retired mare for company. I think he would agree - life is good. |

Deacon (my $1.oo Padron Psyche son) |
|
|
|
|
|
After breaking Deacon to ride and drive, and then discovering he hated to drive; I placed him with a person who was supposed to find him a good home. She later sold him and that person sold him and I have lost track of him. He's a cutie and a bundle of energy, I hope he is doing well and has playmates. He and Benny (my largest and smallest) loved to romp. |
