"I loooove him so much!!! Sweetest funniest horse and so cute. Everyone wants him. ??"
"I hear so many nightmare scenarios from people buying sight unseen, and then I’m over here like…. Here’s my perfect horse. ??. Just what I wanted- a good foundation but still lots of room to grow and learn more."
"Hi Amanda. Doc is a treasure. Thank you so much for connecting us. He’s one of those once in a lifetime partners. ??
I can just think of going in a direction and off we go. ??"
"She is amazing! My husband had to have another back surgery so he hasn't got to show her yet but he is breeding her to metallic mvp this spring. He is gonna try and maybe show her some this year in the meantime she is my go to girl for checking cattle and helping me get up any that gets out ?? she will go through anything and LOVES every minute of chasing or working cows. I had some cows get out down the creek with some steep hills and rough terrain and when I seen that hill we had to go down I was like well jazz this is what separates the women from the girls and all she was worried about was the cattle at the bottom! I was sooo proud of her! She truly is one of a kind. And I LOVE her personality."
"Hi girlfriend! That Simon is Amazing! I've been riding him also! What a lovely horse and so sweet. We can go a week without riding him and he is always a gentleman and perfect in every way!!
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH WORDS NOR ARE THERE ENOUGH """THANK YOU'S""" that can express how very GRATEFUL I AM TO YOU, AMANDA for your HELP & GUIDENES FOR THE purchase of JB SHOWGIRL KITTEN...She is the PERFECT FIT in my search for a FOREVER ONE....her ground manners are unbelievable...she is so forgiving & broke broke broke!!!....I know my 9 yr old granddaughter has the one meant for her....the hand in the glove search is over....I TRULEY LOVE THIS MARE WITH ALL MY HEART & HATS OFF TO YOU, AMANDA FOR THE TRUST & SKILLS YOU SENT MY WAY.
Hey Amanda - Golden Boy is awesome! He's got the best mind, and is so fun to ride. I've ridden him out alone and with others, and it is so refreshing to have a horse like him. I've got him in training with my show jumping trainer, and we've been teaching him how to do some jumping which he is picking right up on. Nothing spooks him and he's liking night turnout here. He's exactly the horse that gives me a ton of confidence and he is super fun to be around. I don't think I've gotten his socks as white as they were when I first saw him in Texas but I'm working on that part!
Just wanted to let you know how cool of a horse he is. He's safe too, both my mom and brother have walked him around the arena a bit. You did a great job finishing him. Here he is in Virginia looking like a little star.
Thanks so much,
Erin
O My Gosh Amanda! Ruby is a beast on the cows! I felt like a pro on her today...our first time on cows since the Covid mess. She sure knows her job, and took care of me to boot. LOVE her!!!
This guy does everything Amada stated and more, he is a prince. I am so pleased with him and like she said he is a puppy dog, just has to be with me all the time, but the best thing is he knows how to work and enjoys it. Like one of my cowboy friends said "you get what you pay for". He is a good looking horse and and I am very proud to own him.
Again, Thank you Valley View Ranch.
Fred W.
Wanted to send you a couple pictures from our first lesson with Pixie today! We both got to ride her, although I only have pictures of Eleanor ?? Please tell her old owner that we love her already and promise to take very good care of her! And thank you for helping us find her, she's exactly what we wanted!
Nov 1, 2019
Just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed by boy. I’ve intended to text you before now but we have been on the road/trails. Just got back from a week in Tennessee trail riding with friends. He is the best and most comfortable trail horse ever. Not to mention that he is great working and checking a large herd of cows here.
Weather riding with others or by himself he doesn’t care if he is front,back, or in the middle all on a loose rain. Thanks for allowing me to buy my just right horse. I’m close to 80 yrs young and I couldn’t be happier to being able to continue my riding in comfort.
Update on Stylish. We’ve won 3 more buckles this year in ranch Riding and we were finalists at the AQHA level 1 show in ranch riding.
He has been such a great horse for us! Thank you again
one more pic of us catching the ring. This is supposed to mimic how the Portuguese cattle workers use the garrocha pole to trip a calf so they can doctor it. Easier than jumping off your horse onto the calf!
Hi -
We are loving little champ. Look what he is doing these days. He is a Super strong pony out on the course and will try and do anything and isn’t a bit spooky. My daughter loves him!!
From Western, to trail to jumper
Hi Amanda.
I just wanted to let you know how much I love Fargo. He is a really sweet boy and he is everything I wanted in a horse. He has settled in nicely at my sister, Sherry's ranch in Placerville, CA and he immediately got along well with her horse.
Thanks again, Terry
Amanda and Family,
Thank you so much for Goldie. My granddaughter loves her and is building up her confidence having such a sweetie that is so easy to handle.
The picture attached is of Kleo and Goldie at their first show together and the first time Kleo rode her any place except at my ranch. They placed second in Western Equitation (walk trot) and as you can see from the smile she was very happy.
If you would like to use this under "Happy Customers" please feel free to do so.
Jean
Thank you again for such a great horse! Dani is super athletic and calm on all terrain. She takes care of her rider.
Dani has a goofy personality and is so fun to be around! Pam
Mojo ran top 10 (6th place outa 470 runs) and won me the average saddle for Can-Am :) Was also top 10 stampede penning... Looking for another one just like him (hot as a pistol, catty etc) but younger 5 or 6 years old.
We are very happy with Smoke and he is doing well.
Meradas Big Swing -
sorting and penning with Melaniein Alberta,Canada!
Been in our first penning yesterday. She is awesome! We did a 26
sec and 32. Enough to be in the jack pot. 2000$. We didn't win.
We ended up 4th. Witch is awesome for our first one. Caliber is
very high here. I am very proud of her. Had so any good
compliments. We make a perfect team. Thank you so much. If you
ever end up with another horse similar as her. I mean character,
nervous and toutchy please let me know. It's what i like. And
with more energy. A bit bigger could be good too. I don't mind
about age, price.... 4000$ and lower if possible. She won't be
able to handle all the teams I have for next summer. I'll need a
back up . I love her so much.
Hey, This is lee stark,
We bought Paradign.
Molly won her first check yesterday at a sorting.
Her and her horse was .1 of a second away from a buckle.
They are doing well,
Thought you would like to know.
Peeping Bo Freckles - with Jenna in Mansfield, TX!
Just thought I would send another picture of
mister Bo Bo! He's on awesome horse!!!! We love him!!
Hello! Last summer we bought two awesome horses from you, charming
and choice. They are both doing awesome! Choice is being made into a
gamer and teaching a little girl how to ...ride! Charming has become
my main horse for everything. She won my first highpoint this
summer, she even won five all at wsca shows. She has won or placed
in at least one jackpot at each show! I even got to do a cow show
with her. She's been to rodeos and has done everything. Just wanted
to let you know we couldn't be happier!
Rats N Cats
- having fun trail riding in Rocksprings, TX!
I have just spent a happy week at our ranch in Rocksprings, riding
Buddy (Rats N Cats) every day. He is everything I was looking for -
quiet minded, well mannered, small ...being beautiful and a son of
High Brow Cat is icing on the cake!
Thank you, again, for finding him for me.

We just returned to Texas from a trail ride with friends in Oklahoma. I
wanted to tell you just how fabulous Kita was. She traveled heavily
wooded trails like a pro. She rode quietly through large changes in
elevation. She rode quietly through rocky, muddy trails. She crossed
many mountain streams and one was even belly-deep for her. She rode with
four other horses beautifully and these horses were strangers to her. It
did not matter if she was in the front, middle or the rear, she was the
same great horse.
She is exactly the horse that I was looking for. We are already planning
our next trail riding trip.
Hi Ashely & Amanda,
Just wanted to let you know how excited I am with "Joker"! Awesome
little horse! I'm so glad I brought him home with me! I've been learning
his buttons and he's teaching me a few things himself. Joker is also
helping me gain my confidence. He is truly my little sweetheart!!! I
appreciate you and Amanda for all the hard work you do every day!!
Thanks,
Isabel
MS Smart Tipster - having fun trail riding in
Lewisville, TX!
little mare is doing great. We rode out for the first time
NYE and she was not excited about the donkey that lives in the front
pasture and had a hard time crossing water....
Yesterday I went out on her and (donkey wasn't there) and
she did fine.
We rode 25 miles and crossed that same stream of water she jumped over
NYE about 5 times and she crossed it fine.
Went out again today for 3 hours and she was great! She's
looky at things but doesn't really spook. Which is fine.
She gets along great w the other horses I trail ride with and listens
well to my commands. I've let her loose a couple times and she's very
pokey (slow, lol) but she stops when I tell her to! Which is great Bc
most ponies don't when they get going.
So overall she's great! Haven't had any major issues with
her, except the donkey.... But after she freaked out I got off her and
made her meet him... Then she was fine!
I might be looking for another horse soon so if anything
comes to mind let me know!
I just wanted to give you the update on Banjo! He is
doing AMAZING. i could ask for a better rodeo horse! i took him to the
4H district competition back in june, and he won me a 12th place ribbon
out of 87 riders in the barrel racing division!:-) he got me qualified
for the state competion! :-) when we went to state, which was in Abilene
the last week of July, I ran a 26.026 on poles, and a 16.826 on barrels!
I almost cried because i've never ran that fast on barrels. we didnt
make top twenty with that time, but we placed 22nd out of 154 riders. We
were so close! But for his first time there, i was happy with his
performance. We havent had him for a long time, but he's already making
me improve, and run faster times. i love him, and once again I can't
thank y'all enough for letting us come and try him out. He's such a good
boy!:-) I am sending you a picture of me and banjo with our 12th place
ribbon from district, and a couple pictures from state. Once again,
thank you guys so much!:-)
-Maddie
Hey!
I just wanted to let you know that banjo and me are two peas in a pod! I
love him to death. Him and Dakota are like brother and sister now. He
loves his new barn and loves his new owners! I've already taken him to 3
barrel races and placed in the 3D in all of them! I can't thank you
enough for letting us come out there bright and early in the morning and
trying them out. He's perfect! we are actually going to a barrel race
today in Bastrop,
Tx
and I'm so excited! I can't say enough good things about him. He has
absolutely no alley issues, no problems with other horses, and he's not
scared to be in new arenas that he's never been in! He's my baby:-) I
will send you some pictures of me and him so you can post them on your
website:-) once again, I can't thank you enough!:-):-)
Maddie running Dakota on the poles at a playday
Just seding you the update on sargent!
(wonders gold money)
He is doing AMAZING. we had a little rough start,
but now, we are "partners in crime". :-) i competed with him in the
southeast district 9 4H horse show, and placed 5th out of 150 in barrels
with a 16.578. i was so proud of both of us, and so excited! i also rode
him in the drill team division, and nothing scared him at all. i was
wearing a long white skirt, and a he was wearing a feather on his head.
we looked sharp! :-) i am attaching pics from the horse show. hope you
like them!
-maddie
Hey
Just wanted to give you the update on Gracie!
She is doing amazing! Shannon just adores her. We are so happy that we
purchased her, because if we didn't, Shannon wouldn't be at the level
that she is now. The whole family loves her, and loves riding her! The
picture is from today at the barrel race we went to in Bastrop, Texas.
She ran a 20 flat!
-but anyways, we thank you so much, and we hope to see all of you again!

Astro, Star, and Flash
- now with the Barrick family right here in Rockwall, TX!
Just sending you guys a picture of our buddies we bought from you
almost 3 years ago! Flash, Star and Astro! We love them even more today
than the day we brought them home! Didn't think it was possible but we
are so blessed to have all of them!!
Sorry it has taken me so long to send a note but I just
wanted to update you quickly....I absolutely love Slick!! He is
working out well. No problems or concerns. Thanks for all your
help with the purchase. Good luck to you in your future.
Cherry Creek's little Cali Brookshire not only wins a buckle for the
2nd time at an RSNC show at Cherry Creek but has headed to the RSNC
finals and earned two spots in the top ten for the championship round
out of 140 horses. Go cali.
Hi
George is doing Great. Took him on a two hour trail ride today. He was
perfect. I just love him and so does Dancer my Tn walker. Thanks again.
Cathy.
Jacen
had his first "official" riding lesson on Peanut (Cheeto) this week.
This little gelding is so quiet..proving to be everything we thought he
was! On a side note, Jacen saw an ad in the AMERICA'S HORSE magazine I
was reading last week. A girl with long dark hair, straw cowboy hat, red
shirt, jeans, and boots was sitting on a horse. He pointed and loudly
exclaimed, "That's Amanda!"
Keep your eye's open for a Clone of Justin. I want a horse between 5-10
years old. Well trained that does barrels and sorting. I love Justin
bloodlines any thing like that would be Awesome. I am thinking with in
the next 3 months.
Thanks for all your hard
work! I have never been happier. I would not be at my riding level today
without all your guys hard work and dedication. I am forever grateful.
It's been almost 1 1/2 years that I have had Bert, and I am still
thankful for you in helping me find him! He is the sweetest boy and is
proving to be a great trail horse. He is not afraid to attempt different
types of terrain and water crossings, and his confidence transmits to
other less confident horses on the trail, so they
will
do things they haven't done. Our barn just got a new manager who does
reigning and cutting, so I will be learning things on Bert that Bert
knows well, but I don't! It should be fun. Everyone at the barn loves
him!!!! Thank you so much for helping us meet each other. I will
recommend you every time I have the chance!
Miss Scootin Merada
- now sorting and doing stock horse with Sherry in Southlake, TX
She's one horse who
gives 200% and loves whatever job I ask her to do. So blessed to have
her - thanks to you and Amanda!
Harriets Mister
- now doing really well with Morgan in Parker, TX
Sage has been AWESOME! A few days after getting her home we went on a
trail ride to the Kroger near my house. Only thing she was a little
scared of was those crazy cyclists who would come up out of nowhere.
I've also taken her to my trainers a couple times now and he was shocked
that she was only 3! She is always so willing and brave. By far she has
the best brain of any horse I've owned. I am so excited to
see
her grow up, and am so thankful for your awesome and honest service. One
of the best horse buying experiences I've had.
I just wanted to let you know that I am enjoying Badger and he is doing
well. He is such a great horse. I really appreciate all your help and
hope both you and Amanda are doing well. May God Bless both of you. Gen

Hey
Got to ride Chewy in the Bob's today. OMGosh! Best money I think
I ever spent! I was so comfortable, I could have gone to sleep ;))))
Took Chewy around the neighborhood -one other horse and rider with us-
and he did great! Traffic, dogs, and pastures of other crazy horses, and
we all survived. Oh, and did I mention this was all done with zero
lunging after almost three weeks without being ridden?!?!
Thanks again for my Wookie, and thank Amanda for the Bob's!!! :)))))

Reno~Now in a loving home with a young lady in
Findlay, OH!
This is Emily's
Mom. (Meg) I wanted to send you a few more pictures and you can see what
a wonderful rider and young lady Emily has grown up to be. She and Reno
just have become one. they are such a good team. He is the highlight of
our day always. I just can not thank you enough for working with me to
find the perfect horse. It has been almost three years now that we have
had him and he still amazes me everyday. You can tell he loves to please
Emily. She is also doing reining and he just rocks at it! We will always
recommend you when anyone asks us where to get a horse. You are honest
and true and that is hard to find in the horse world!!
Thanks for making
my life so great!
One Proud mom,
Meg Powell
here are some pictures of reno and i
at the hancock county fair this last
weekend. we placed 5th in lead line

people. he was sooo good at fair
this year!!!!!
thanks for the awesome horse,
emily and reno too!
Dear
Here are some of Emily and Reno's first
show pictures. This horse continues to
amaze me everyday. He is kind and gentle
to her and really lights up when she
walks into the barn. We are so lucky to
have such a level headed 4 year old
horse. We get compliments all the time
on how well
he behaves. Nothing seems to
get him anxious or upset. She can take
him anywhere. We are so lucky to have
him. Emily has been doing a little
reining patterns
with him and I tell her to learn from
him. He is just such a great horse. To
us he is priceless!!!!! Thanks again for
all your help in finding us the
best horse. We adore him.
With all our respect,
Meg and Bob Powell
Emily and Reno!!
hey, how's it going at valley
view? things are going great up here. I
have just started lopeing on Reno. he is
so good for me. sincerely, Emily and
Reno
Reno
is the perfect horse for me thanks for
finding him for me. I appreciate it.
today (12-19-08) I rode Reno in a halter
and lead rope and another horse got
spooked and reared and the rider fell
off and the horse stepped on the riders
foot (today was her b-day and she is one
of my friends who is turning 18) and
amazingly Reno did not react at all so I
did not get hurt. but again I thank you
very much for finding the perfect horse
for me I love him so much!!!! I will up
date you on some recent pictures. thanks
again, Emily Powell and Rawhides Reno
Hi
there,
Just wanted to update you on Emily
and Reno. They are such a good pair. We
can't thank you enough for what you did
in helping us find a great horse for our
daughter. I will always look to you in
the future for a great horse. Here are
some pictures of Emily and Rawhide Reno.
I will also send you updates. She will
be showing in the spring. She is
learning so much and she has a great
horse to learn on. Everyone is so
impressed with him. I have given your
website address to many people this
month. In the future we will contact you
again for a horse. We can't thank you
enough. I hope all is well with you and your
family and at Valley View.
Thank you so very much,
Meg, Bob, and Emily Powell
and Reno too...
Big Enough
- now an all-around gelding for a family in Belton, TX
Here
is a picture of Big Enough (Big E,) and my daughter Victoria after we
bought him from you. They are such a cute pair and he has really grown
to trust her more than anyone. She is having so much fun with him at
horse shows, play days and barrel races and I'm practicing cutting on
him in hopes to show in the future. He is teaching Victoria how to be a
better rider and she is becoming more confident everyday. He has been
the perfect addition to our family!! Thanks for selling him to us!

Boonlight Bandit
- now an awesome trail riding horse in Austin, TX
Ashely,
thought you might like this pic of Paula and Bandit taken today. They
headed out with two other folks and horses for a three week ride. it
includes a working ranch in New Mexico and work some cattle. then on up
to Canada and then the Cheyenne rodeo.
Paula tells me he has been the perfect gentleman.
she especially loves his smooth lope. also two pics on the day of his
arrival.
many thanks, craig
Thanks for the note. please feel free to use the photos as you see fit.
Thanks for the video. that is the correct address.

and time, craig
Hey.
We went on our first trail ride yesterday..badger was perfect..I love
him. We went to lunch after and he and his buddy had their lunch in the
trailer.he is so sweet ..here is cute pic of him..thanks again. Sandy
Haven't made it out on the trail yet as I want to get Badger
more in shape..but have ridden him around the property 20 acres..I just
love him..he is so sweet and trusts me completely..Although he is not
comfortable with some things he listens and then does them..I am sure he
has never walked across a tarp,drug a log etc..but he is trying..he
walked through our hay ring today..he just listens to me then does
it..He opened a gate which I am sure he hasn't done..so I think in time
he will be a great trail horse..nothing bad about him at all..I haven't
seen him put his ears back at any of the other horses not even at
feeding
time..he
is just a no trouble boy..so you can post this on your owners page if
you like..I also want to thank you for a great purchase..I hve bought
many horses on the internet and this was the easiest and best one..You
present the horses great and get back to people when they ask
questions..I have told many of my friend about you so many some horses
will be coming to Florida..take care and will send a trail pic soon
Sandy
Hi there! I was told you were wondering how devy was doing and actually
I renamed her "fox" and she is currently running consistently in the 1D
at all the races! And ive been taking her to a ton of rodeos as well.
I'm super attached to her and she is so spoiled here. I absolutely love
her!
Thank you for selling her to me, she's really special.
Love this horse more every time I ride her! Chick's got a
beautiful golden summer coat. took two buddies to talk me into taking
the leap to buy her. Now I can't thank you enough for making it happen.
(Would never have any hesitation buying another horse from you if the
needs arises.) You can tell her old owner she has a home for life.
Ok, you have made a believer out of me. I still can't believe
I bought a horse off the internet without ever trying her. So out of
character for me. That being said, I absolutely love this mare. She is
everything you told me and more. I would never hesitate to buy another
horse from you. Thank you so much.
Dianne
Finally got to ride Chick yesterday. Very on the muscle but settled a
bit during the ride. Hopefully will mellow with a bit more work. She had
been sitting for quite a while now. Great mare, I love her. Thanks.

riding, running barrels, and even showing with Liz in Beaverton, OR!
I love my MATE, my soulmate!!
PERFECT FIT FOR ME! Having lots of fun with him
Having
a great time with him, Yes, a little attitude but very easy to
get over himself. Just exactly as you explained him. He is just
hilarious and I really love him. We have been to four barrel
races, just getting the atmosphere down, So, I am comfortably
not him. He's great. I knew what to expect on my mare, just
taking it easy and enjoying all my time with him. I see him
almost everynight, and he is ridden/worked 5 days a week.
the girls from my barn talked me into going to a western
pleasure show. I said, I don't do that kinda riding. So, I went
entered the walk, jog, lope open class and placed 4th, Wow, as I
entered into the area, I yelled at one of my girlfriends. "How
do I hold the reins again" They all fell over when the class was
done. There were about 22 people in the class.
Always,
Liz

Hey- I understand... You are always busy busy- glad u took a break.
Yess, feel free to post anything I send you! She has been a blessing. Oh
yeah, definitely mute him on the video- haha, he's a nut :)
Sent from my iPhone
Hey!
Well just wanted to send another update. "Izzie" has blown my mind!
Never thought she would come so far so quick.. And people are noticing.
Haha :) I took her to a barrelrace against the "toughs" a few weekends
ago and she ran in the bottom of the 1D. Then she made her first semi
"pro" rodeo debut this past weekend (IPRA rodeo) and ran 4 tenths off
(15.5 and 15.1 won) This was against horses that are solid 1D/IFR
quality. So... To have a few bobbles and run .4 tenths off after barely
a month of running her.... Was pretty amazing to say the least! This
girl has been an absolute dream.
Also.. I have been asked multiple times where she came from and
pretty sure there are a few girls already trying to plan trips to come
see y'all. Haha. So... If you get any TN rodeo girls.. Izzie likely sent
them your way :) I'm sending you her video from the IPRA rodeo. Ignore
the commentary- just a goofy friend.
Thanks again,
Nikki
Although I've only had "lucky" for about a week... I absolutely adore
her! She is so much fun to ride and handled her first barrelrace great!
I couldn't be happier- she's a cutie. Ill update you with some runs in
the future :) thanks again!

Shieks Ghost RDB
- now a beloved pet/pleasure riding horse in Weatherford, TX!
Hi Ashely - Just wanted to update you on a horse I purchased from
Valley View in Dec. Playboys Hickory Bar a.k.a. Tony. He is doing great
here in PA. He's not crazy about our mountains, deer, and bugs though.
We have been on the trails a lot this spring with the nice weather -
although he doesn't seem thrilled with trail riding. Seems to be
wondering when we are going to get to the cows. I took him sorting for
the first time last Sat night and he showed me a complete different
horse. He was definately in his element. That was my first time sorting
and he made me look good. I absolutely had a blast and am hooked. That
is the most fun I have ever had on a horse and plan to do a lot more.
Tony's name is now Rio and has picked up on it quickly comes in from the
pasture when called.
He was everything you said he was and I am so happy to have found him.
Thanks again.
P.S. Please pass this along to his former owner and tell her I love him
to death.
Robin in PA
Yes! you may post.
I am already searching for more ranch sortings in our area. The one we
went to only holds twice per month and that isn't enough. There seem to
be more team penners in our area - I might have to try that til the
sorting picks up.Thanks again for a great horse. I waited a long time
for this one.
Ready On Five
- winning money and prizes with her young owner in Houston, TX!
Hey
Had to share these pics
with you of Ally and Ms. Piggy from Saturday. Over 200 entries,
and Ally placed 3rd in the 2D youth class and won $80 and a custom
bronc halter!
Another girl from our barn who
high school rodeoed (and hasn’t ridden in 3 years) also entered Piggy in
the Open at the same race and she placed 3rd in the 4D and won $250 and
a custom bridle!
Ms. Piggy ran 3 times that day (Ally fell
in the cracks in the 4D in the open) (fastest time that day was a
15.4)
and Ally has run her fastest times yet, in the low 17’s. She is
just getting better and better and we are so happy with her!!
LOVE HER
Sallys Dual Pep
-now called "Jazz", is having fun sorting playday-ing in Florrence, TX!
Hey there, wanted to tell you I took jazz to a playday yesterday and
she did great. She finished 3rd out of 17 people. Not bad for our
first time out. She messed up In the poles, she had no idea what to do
lol. But I had fun. I just love her. Just thought is share with ya. Hope
things are going good. Ttyl
My
last name has changed. Hope that didn't cause confusion.
I'm finally getting these pictures sent. I can't tell
you how much we love this little mare. She is the most
willing, gentle little thing. And she will GO!!! Not
to mention she will turn on a dime! I'm never afraid for
Erin to be on her either. She is so trustworthy.
She and Erin went to our State Show in keyhole and poles the
very first year we had her. They went back last year, and
were only one position out of placing. Erin and Lucy are
perfect for each other. We had a preseason playday last
weekend, and Erin and Lucy won all of their events but one, and
they were second in it! They get noticed everywhere we go.
We honestly think we DID SOMETHING by getting this little gal!
We can't thank you enough.

The Diverse Luke
- being loved by a sweet family in League City, TX!
First of all
let me apologize for taking so long to write and let you know
how happy we are with our amazing "LUKE". There are no words toadequately
describe the joy he has brought to me and our family. After a
bad riding accident, it was very important for me to find a
horse that would be tolerant of my imperfections, with a kind
disposition. If you remember we came to you in search of a
smaller horse...but we were attracted to Luke .....like love at
first sight. I remember the day we met him like it was
yesterday. We let our son Riley try him out first. It was
unbelievable. All 59 pounds of our fourth grader connected with
him immediately as they had a great ride. I remember my turn:
still a bit unsteady I climbed in the saddle. Luke had no
problems dealing with my out of shape posting and weak seat at
the canter.
We continue to have a wonderful
relationship with this awesome horse. He has the perfect
disposition for us. He loves to be ridden almost as much as he
loves to share our gatoraide!!! Yes, that has become a special
treat for him along with his cookies, apples, and carrots.
Riley
has even shown him in a local A show and placed eighth on the
flat in a rather large class. Riley will begin showing him more
this spring.
Like his full
name "THE DIVERSIFIED LUKE" implies...this beautiful equine is
just an all round splendid animal and we feel so blessed that he
is now part of our family.
As much I
love riding him...I have a feeling my son will be taking him
over...which means we will probably be calling you soon to find
another great horse and good friend for Luke!
Dude
– now called Eggo won a beginner jumper class with Carly.
Carly wanted to see if you could pass along photos to his prior
owner.
Thanks
Royal Hail (AKA: "Prince") -
doing amazing things with his young owner Kourtney in The Woodlands, TX!
Its been almost a year since I bought Royal Hail (aka Prince)
from you guys up at VVR :) I made a quick video just to show how
far we have come in a year. I hope you enjoy this video and
there might be more in the future!!!
<3 Kourtney Wynne and Prince
Long time no see! Just wanted to send you this video to show
how far we have come :) We have started Parelli and I am making
a tiny website dedicated to our journey so once I get it set up
I will share the link.
Happy Trails!
Our first day of jumping bareback and bridle-less!
Hi Its Kourtney Wynne and I am so sorry that I haven't
emailed in so long but I have been so busy the past couple
months! I could send you some pictures but I will be making a
video during the summer about how far we've gone :] Prince
(Royal Hail) has been an amazing horse who has taught me so much
to the point where I am more comfortable without a saddle than
in one. We are constantly showered with compliments about how
well behaved and beautiful he is :] He just loves everyone and
they all love him. Thank-you again for this amazing horse!
Nic Dreamy
and Snoopy - sorting and running barrels
with the Sockwell family in McKinney, TX!
Smart Maggie Miss- building confidence for her sweet new
owner here in TX!
Just wanted to thank you guys. I know that you
mentioned you didn't have Maggie long, but I have to
tell you she is a joy!! She is always the first one up
in the pasture and wants all the attention. She has
really helped me build up my confidence in riding. She
has been a great joy to ride.
I will!:) The more
I ride her, the better she gets!:) She learned how to flex in
about 5 to 10 minutes yesterday! I figured she would probably
forget by today, but she didn't! She remembers everything we
worked on! I'm soo thankful to have her! She's so much fun
Hey, Ellie arrived at 4:30 this morning!
She's everything I was looking for in a barrel racing prospect!
She's just wonderful! She's a great listener, I don't think it
will take much to get her running barrels! She's always willing
to do anything! I love her to death! Thanks a bunch for
everything! :)

Hi
About 6-8 weeks ago I bought a 12 yr bay named Ray Jey (I think).
Now his name is Bucket. Ha. He is awesome and takes good care of my
little boy when he is being ponied by my dad on his bay horse. There is
nothing better than seeing Grandpa and Grandson riding together and talking
nonstop. In fact, they've decided to become Dallas horse cops. Hehehe.
Thanks again for your help in matching us with Bucket. I hope y'all are
doing well!
Just
want you to know how well Mack is working out for us. He is a
gentle giant. He and Dennis have really bonded. I could
not remember what you said about his vaccinations. Would
you please check & let me know if you have the records?
When we left there with Mack we were going to Fairfield to meet
a seller from out of Houston area. I bought (and still
have) 2 horses that were sooooo misrepresented. Could have
bought Glory for all the money we lost on this deal. Ended up
back in Forney last Saturday & bought yet another horse
that is really wonderful—15 hand palomino mare same color as
Mack. This has been a journey just trying to find 2 good
trail horses. Thank you for running an honest operation.
You give me hope that there are still a few honest ones out
there!!! Glad God kept you all safe during the storm!! Keep
up the good work!!
Cindy
Smooth And Smart

~both are now winning with Nancy in Tyler, TX!
Betty
winning the open division of an ACTHA trail ride Sat. She did
everything perfectly & made lots of friends!! Gelding I just got
from u, (call him Boaz now), is just right for me...been
practicing sorting alot on him & when you wake him up, he's
awesome. Not the fastest, but always in the right position &
easy to ride. Thank you!!!!
Check out Kory and I!! Please feel free to
post and use as you like. Kory is a real sweetheart. I will be
doing lots of showing this spring and summer. I will keep you
posted!!
take care
Karla
Hi Ashely,
A friend of mine trailerd her horse over and we went on a trail
ride. He was wonderful. He quietly crossed streams, went
through deep mud, up and down the creek banks. We walked
through some pretty high weeds and he did not mind them tickling
his tummy. I have to remind myself that he is only three.
He is a real sweetheart!!!
Karla
Hi Ashely,
The papers came today. Thanks so much. Korey is developing
quite a personality. He is such a love. He is really warming
up to me. He has been great, I keep forgetting he is only 3!!
I am hoping to take him to the combined test at Rosehill in Nov
and maybe their show in Dec too.
I have named in Korona de Oro for his show name and Korey for
his barn name.
Take care
I will send pics soon
Karla and Korey
Hi
Ashlie,
Callaghan settled right in to his new home. He trailered like a
dream and is just a sweetheart. Could you e-mail his shot
record, last shoeing date and wormer record? I forgot to ask
you for that when I picked him up,
thanks again
Karla
I rode him today and he went great. I just love
him!!!!!!
She is doing great! She adjusted really good
and i love her! :) Her and my friends gelding are really good
friends and she gets along with all the other horses great!
Thank you soo much she was just what i was looking for! :)
Hi
I just wanted to let you know that Budee is doing great! We
went to a team penning last weekend and did really well and had a
lot of fun. Her eye looks so much better, there's still a small scar
but it's not affecting her vision at all. She's getting along great
with my gelding and they are now best friends haha. Thank you so
much for taking the time to let me come and check her out! I'm
really enjoying her and I'm really happy that she's mine haha!
We just wanted to let
you know how much of a blessing Wall-E has been to us!!! We, and
pretty much everyone else at the barn, adore him!!! He is doing
amazing!!! No one at the barn believes us when we tell them he's
only two!!! We are planning on showing him in dressage in March and
April at the Curragh
shows!!!
We were going to wait until next year but Jenna believes he is
ready!!! I am just so exited!!! Thanks again, Wall-E amazes me every
time I ride him!!! Sincerely, Avery and Kay
P.S.- This is one
of the pics we took while taking Christmas pics!
Bo-Bo and Image (my other horse) say Merry
Christmas!!!! thank you again, I love him so much i can't tell you!
Bailey Hans
I just wanted to say thank you again for Bo-Bo! We
switched barns last weekend and i was ready for him to be excited and
hard to handle at a new place and for my other two to be really relaxed.
well what i thought was exactly the opposite!! the other two were crazy
and Bo-Bo just found the grass in his paddock and started eating while
the other two ran around bucking and rearing showing off for the mares.
he is so
perfect and everything i ever wanted! i rode him two days after we got
to the new barn to give him a chance to settle in, but i'm sure i
could've ridden him the first day he was so good. we didn't have any
issues riding and he was perfect (as always). i am so grateful and i
love him so much! Thank you again
Hi
Bo-Bo is doing really well up here in Massachusetts! He is
getting along really well with our two other horses (even though my
other one is really jealous!) I have ridden him 10 times since he came
18 days ago. I could not be happier with my new horse! i am going to
take him on a trail ride through MA conservation area soon! he has
gotten his first massage, which i think he enjoyed thoroughly! I wonder
if he's ever had one before. I round penned him today for the first time
and you were right he does know how to round pen, he was really good, so
i got on him bareback and we had a nice little ride. I am going to start
barrels with him in a month just to give us both some time to get to
know each other before we go to work. He doesn't seem so tall or fast
now even though he ran off with me the other day (and i
kinda freaked out for a minute because i wasn't expecting it, but we
were fine!) He is everything I have ever
wanted in a horse and i could not be happier! I'll send you more photos
when we start the barrels and when we go to a race I'll let you know our
first time. Thank you so much I really appreciate everything you did for
me! Bailey Hans
Ristos Socs
~now with the Marshall family in Lewisville, TX!
Thanks so much. Socs is amazing. He is a good
listener too. We love him!!
I scanned a couple of
pictures of Love running around and playing. He is the sweetest thing!
I had him scoped and he did have ulcers but we are through
treating him now and he is doing wonderful, gained a lot of weight and
has such a fun personality. He loves to have his tummy scratched. I have
to have my arm operated on in January so for right now I am not being
able to ride him but he is much loved and a part of our family!
Thanks - Deana Gavrel
Twist of Tenino
and "Bon Jovi"
~now with the Mobarak family in Aurora, TX!
I just thought I would send you a couple pics of Lil Tino and
let you know how he is doing. He has put on a lot of muscle and
weight and is just a joy to have. Here is a couple pics of my
Trainer Eric, working him in the round pen. We will start showing
him in Reining and AQHA show events this spring! He has been just
the most wonderful boy ever.Boy where you right when you said to
show him a little love and attention and he will love you forever.
He is so willing and
ready
to learn something new! We took him out to a local roping event just
to let him get around other horses etc, and my trainer ended up
healing off of him and won first and second!! What a diamond in the
rough we found in him,
Bon Jovi is wonderful too, he is our big teddy bear at the
stables and anybody and everybody rides him. He gets a little lazy
sometimes and would much rather eat than play, but will get any job
done that we ask him too. My five year old is taking lessons on him
and he is is such a gentle giant. Thank you again for my two
favorite boys!! Jana
First of all I need to thank you and Amanda for taking the time
to listen to what type of horse I was looking for and then helping me
find Slick. I hadn't even had him home 24 hours and we went to our first
sorting. Which was lots of fun and have plans to go again. I am very
excited about what Slick and I will be accomplishing together.
I
will highly recommend Valley View Ranch for anyone that is looking for
a safe, reliable horse. Thank you again.
Mari Jo and "Slick"
Dual N Color
and CC Starbuck Cash "Riggin" ~now with the Parker family in
Cypress, TX!
Thought you might get a kick out of hearing
Dual placed 1st in 3D last night at a local jackpot. It was only his
third time to compete! He's so awesome!
Angie Parker
Hi
Just following up with you
regarding Riggin's paperwork. We love this horse! My husband
has started riding him (!) and he has been wonderful. He is very
smooth, nothing spooks him, and he neck reins beautifully. He loves
people and has a ton of personality. I just can't say enough good
things about him.
Thanks for everything,
Angie
Just
wanted to send you a couple of pictures of me and Dual paying around in
the pasture. He has been such a blast to have! Everyone at the barn
loves him, he has such a sweet, laid back personality. We've been
working on barrels, and he loves to run and be challenged.
Many thanks to you and Amanda again for all your time and help
with choosing my first horse. It was such a great experience for me and
my family. We can't wait to see you again!
Angie Parker
Dual
is doing very well! My farrier loves him, I took him for a saddle
fitting and everyone there fell in love with him. He has the sweetest,
laid back disposition. He comes right up to me in the pasture and has
been great around other horses. My three year old goes to the barn with
me every day and Dual is so gentle around him, he walks very carefully
when Wade is holding the end of the lead rope with me.
My very good friend (who just happens to be a trainer) is helping
me tune him up on barrels. After seeing Dual the first time she fell in
love with him and commented that she thought I got him for a steal. As
laid back as he is, he sure gets excited when he sees the barrels! He is
very patient with me- he knows barrels better than I do for sure. I am
learning a lot with him.
I am very happy with Dual- he is a blast to ride and awesome on
the ground- the best of both worlds.
Thanks again for everything!
Angie
Dual arrived safe and sound and is happily settling in. I
cannot thank you enough for all your help.
Hey
I just wanted to send you some pictures of Brumby and Okie.
They
are both doing really well. We got to take them camping for 4 days in October (
it was freezing cold up in central WI ), but we had an awesome time. Brumby was
pretty much perfect the whole time. Okie was nervous at first and jumped around
a little, but by the 2nd day he was so relaxed. I had 4 days of just touching
and messing
with
him. A friend a mine was riding him for a while for me because I've been busy
with my baby, so I hadn't totally bonded like I wanted to with him. Now that
I've been able to get out and ride and massage him he is a different horse. The
massaging really changed him. He knows I'm not going to hurt him. It just so
cool to see how much he has changed since we got him and how much he trusts me
now. He is a keeper! My son Jimmy plans on doing little britches rodeo this
summer with Brumby and some little fun shows coming up soon. We will send some
pictures. Talk to you soon!
Christine Helminiak
I hope you had a great
Christmas and new year... we did extremely busy but good none the less
I took these pictures while playing around with Boogie 12-24-09 it was a
warm beautiful day so I took advantage of it. I hope you are pleased
with the way he is coming along.
Melody is doing great as
well but she is really getting fat! she is due to foal 3-3-2010
Well I'll send you some good pictures of the boys on Boogie as the
weather warms and were riding more as well as Melody's foal.
Take care and talk to you
soon
Have a Blessed Day,
Button
Melody
just arrived sage and sound, I'm working today so I can't see her untill
tomorrow. I'll send you another photo of Boogie and the boys for your
site taken with my camera (along with an update)
... I took that pict. With my phone.
She looks great! I hope she is blessing to her new family. I cannot tell
you how much we are loving Major & Leddy. Major is in training for reining, and
he keeps us very entertained! Leddy is as sweet as ever.
Thank you for the update!
Got everyone home today. They hauled beautifully!!! Our daughters were
thrilled! I will send photos and an update when we sit on them. Currently we are
covered in mud at our place. Thank you so much! We are very pleased!!!
Just wanted to let you guys know we gave my daughter, Abby, her horse
yesterday (for her birthday). She is beyond thrilled! Little Joe - now known
as "Stormy" (we already have a paint pony named Joe in our barn) is
doing
great. He's been with a hunter/jumper trainer since we brought him home in
September, and is learning how to be an English horse. He's even popping over
some little jumps! Abby had a great first ride on him yesterday (I'm attaching
a picture), and we will be taking him to our barn this week. Just wanted to say
thanks for all you did to make a little girls dream come true!
We did have a great Thanksgiving, thank you. Hope you all did too.
And congratulations on that baby!! What did you name him? I hope he is
still being a great baby for you!!
Don't forget about our request for a another Bomber or two.
Thanks a million,
Lisa Stehle
P.S. Ryan is absolutely having a blast with Tinman. He'd ride him
every day if he had his way.
Have you sent the papers on Bomber? I have not received them, so I
just thought I'd check. Thanks for your help, and we are still enjoying
Bomber, Tinman and "Zeus" immensely. They are SUPERB!!
Just
wanted to send you a picture of my boys on a trail ride at my sister
Kris's place where we keep the horses. My husband, Jerry, on Bomber("HIS"
horse)and my son, Ryan on Tinman. We are loving them, although now I'll
be waiting to hear from you so momma can have her own beautiful,
well-behaved horse to ride!
Thanks a bunch,
Lisa Stehle
Weimar, TX
"McNally"(now know as "Rein
Dance/Hidalgo")~is a spoiled pleasure riding horse in CA!
I have been working hard as a result of the recession. Lucky me!
I can! Anyway, I haven't ridden as much as I like to as a result of
needing money. BUT, I did have Reindance with Richard
Winters for training for a month. Horse Illustrated did a spread on
Richard, and guess who Richard choose to ride? Yup! Our Reindance!
(now called Hidalgo). I bought you a copy and will send it to you!
Terrific photographs of a terrific horse! Richard has known me for
about 20 years, through many horses. He told me that Reindance is a
wonderful talented horse. Any pro would be proud to own him. And, of
course, little old me, is pretty happy and proud to own him!
Would you please confirm your mailing address?
I love checking your horses for sale.
thanks for touching my life!
Joy Jones and Hidalgo
Please have a
very happy healthy 2009! I know
your hard work ethic will make
the new year prosperous!
I love watching
your web site, just to see how
busy you are and what wonderful
horses you represent so well.
Rein Dance's
barn name became Hidalgo, in
part after the famous horse and
in part because of the meaning
of the name; Spanish Nobility or
Gentry.
We basically
started training him as if he
only had maybe 60 hours on him.
As expected he is phenomenal. My
trainer wants me to eventually
transfer him to a reining show
barn with (I am not sure of this
name, but if you know of her you
will recognize who I am getting
at) Penny Girardi. I have no
desires to compete with anyone
other than myself. I will take
him to horsemanship clinics with
the likes of Buck Brannaman.
If you or Amanda
will be showing in the near or
sort of near future, please tell
me. I have family in Fort Worth
and Dallas and would love to
show up to admire you. My goal
is to
ride
like Amanda. I would be happy if
I could just sit like Amanda!
Please try to
remember to tell me if you are
in any shows!
Much
appreciation and thanks for my
lovely little horse!
Joy
As
you know, ReinDance arrived just
fine. I mentioned that he had a
rolling fit, he must have rolled
over 20 times! But each time he
shook off, ran around and threw
himself down again. When I put
the halter on, he was quiet and
calm! My only
concern is that I left around 3
PM and he still had not pooped.
I assume that all is well, as
no one has phoned me.
Thank you for
the halter. I haven't had time
to open the paper work you sent
to me, thank you for that too.
What a pretty
little horse he is! I am so
happy and I will make sure he
will be happy too.
I so admire you
and Amanda! I realize how hard
you work, and how well you do
what you do.
We will keep in
touch!
xxoo ReinDance
and Joy
PS thanks for this whole
experience and introducing
RienDance and I. You made me
feel like I was your only
customer and I felt very special
to you.
I just wanted to thank you so much, for putting up with me
these past couple of weeks! Mascot arrived a little over an hour ago, he
looks and is acting fantastic! The driver Becky could not have been more
wonderful either, please pass that message along...as I have dealt with
alot of not nice drivers and she could not have been more wonderful
(wish she worked with the shipping company we use!!!) and she had
nothing but the most wonderful things to say about you! So far after
the 1 hour temp check, Mascot has no temp and is eating and drinking
perfectly...so I am going to go back to sleep, but I had to write you
this email first, just to say thank you again for everything!!!!He is
everything so far that I have been wanting and waiting for, I can't wait
to take him for his first spin! Thanks Again! Christine Czernyson
By the way, Misty is AWESOME. She is so laid back. Dennis
suggested that I just sell Misty back to you and keep Cactus and I said
absolutely not. She is one of the best horses I have ever had. My
grand-daughter can ride her too.
Rode Sunday eve. and it went well. Pebbles is a little gun
shy in the woods, but did fine. The two of them get along
fabulously. Thanks much.
Hope all is going well for you guys. Jingles is a
dream. Don't ride her for awhile, go catch her, tack her up in a second,
takes the bridle is a flash, and everyone can ride her, including kids.
Jamie
~Purchased by Julie Underwood and shown by
Lilli in Maize, KS
We switched and you wouldn't believe what a difference
it's made for Jammie. Just wanted to write you and tell you that
we are now doing flying lead changes! We just love her!
Happy Thanksgiving...we are thankful that Jammie is a member of
our family!
Julie
Well Lil and Jammie won her horsemanship class AGAIN last weekend at
an AQHA show; also got 3rd in WP walk-trot. The trainer suddenly is
really into Jammie now too. Also says her lope is coming along. I
will forward you several pictures taken after the win last weekend.
If you ever want to post her/us on your website as a happy customer,
please feel free to do so.
Julie
Well Jammie isn't for sale after all...it's always a
juggling act financially between two families but I think I've finally
convinced them that she needs to stay plus Jammie convinced them of that
last weekend...read on...
Lilli, her rider, is 13, beautiful, adopted from Russia, and her parents
are divorced. I am engaged to her Dad, her Mom just got remarried. We
all split expenses on the horse and usually are in agreement but for
awhile, scheduling, trainer woes, and two of us getting laid off made us
all question our financial obligation to the horse.
But it has all turned around now. I wanted to write you to tell you that
Lilli ahd the best ride of her life last weekend and WON her Walk-Trot
Horsemanship class. She also got a 3rd and a 5th in Walk-Trot WP. I
think she would have won that but the judge saw her "bump" on Jammie.
Anyway, we were thrilled with the horsemanship win and those placings
but must brag about the fact that she also got a 6th out of 19 in
Walk-Trot Non-Pro, all ages. Of course that was the show I didn't take
any pictures or video!
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you how much we love Jammie. She is such a
sweetheart. She is marvelous at shows...always loads, never creates a
stir in her stall, bathes, clips, etc. all so well...just like you
advertised. Her trainer isn't too nuts about her because he hates mares
and I think he tumbled off a couple of weeks ago...he tells me she
tossed him, but another gal at the barn saw it and said he lost his
stirrup! That's his issue but we think she's as sweet as they come and
so cooperative. He has had some head battles but she is learning as is
Lilli and last week, she looked like the winner she was!
Over the winter, we will be working on English, which is where I think
she needs to go. We are also working on Walk-Trot Trail. And hopefully,
she and Lil will be loping soon. Lil just isn't ready for that yet and
Jammie isn't the slowest loper but as you know, many judges now like
that really slow lope that makes them look like they are trotting. We
call it the "crab call" and we hate it. Jammie probably will never go
that slow and that's ok with us.
Just wanted to check in and tell you how much we are enjoying her, how
much we love her, and how's she progressing. We will be taking photos
this next weekend at her last South Central Stock Horse Association
show. She will go to one more show in October, a KQHA show here in
Wichita.
Hope all is well with you and yours down there in Texas!
Julie Underwood
Hi
all,
Many of you have been asking to see my mare "Jammie" and I'm
happy to attach these pics from this past weekend's show. The past
two shows Lil has won her horsemanship classes and has been placing
in the top 3 pretty consistently in her western pleasure classes.
It is truly a genuine joint effort between three families and our
trainer (shown in picture). This last week's win was huge since it
was an AQHA (American Quarter Horse Association) sanctioned show.
As you can tell, it made one little girl pretty happy and we pooped
out the mare. Well, maybe I should say we tired out the mare!
Anyway, it's been a great summer and all the horse activities I've
been a part of makes it so great to be back here in Wichita -
particularly being able to show and trail ride with some of my
former and many new barn friends. We've got one show left in
October right here in Wichita and then will train hard over the
winter with a goal to also ride English with the horse next year.
Hi
Jammie...we love her too much! We are
going to try to go English next year. If you ever hear of
someone who might need a horse like her, you might keep us in
mind. She is such a sweetie, we consider her a family member
:) I will have to send you more pictures...there's a couple of
not so good ones attached! We'll
be hitting our first spring show in another week!
Stay in touch! Did you get married?
Julie
A Royal Zipper ~Now
at a training/lesson barn in Sachse, TX
The paint mare you sold me is doing well. She takes great care of
a couple of kids I have and is a real pleasure to have in the barn. I've
even taught her to jump! Just crossrails...but still! Very cute. I have
someone else looking now. He's about 6 foot and has western background,
but just starting english. I haven't really seen any big horses out at
your place, but if you get anything could you let me know? It needs to
be pretty much the same as the mare. Really broke and beginner friendly.
Just let me know Thanks, Shelby
The paint mare I bought from you a
couple days ago has come up really nice. She babysat some kids
today and she's still cool enough for me to get on and have fun.
I'm very happy with her, you and Amanda. Thanks for all of your
help and honesty.
Hope to talk to you soon
To whom it may concern i love stitch. he has so much
personality. he has tried me to see who the boss is and he
found out real quick. i still watch his video everyday. i
have also been riding him everyday. he has a wonderful walk i
haven't made him get into that nice little lope i may have to use
the spurs on him. right now we are getting to know one another.
again he his a doll. thanks.
Tri Mi
Zipper aka: "Jeffery" ~now a trail horse, along with
Dr. Seuss in
Weatherford, TX!
Just wanted to let you know we are really enjoying
Jeffrey. He's such a sweetheart. He gets along with everybody, and best
of all, he seems happy no matter what we're doing. Lisa and I have been
able to ride together for the first time since she was in high school.
It's so great!
Scooby
Doo
~Now with a dedicated young rider in
Lumberton, TX!
Hey
This is Rachel. I bought Scooby Doo. I just wanted to let you know we
are doing good. I love him so much. I never wanna give him away.
I have been working on ground work alot lately. I still have not started
barrel racing but that hopefully will change this summer if my parents
will let me and if i have time.
Hey,
I just want to let you know
everything is going great with
Scooby Doo. I got the bit and it is
much better then what I've been
using. The other day I loped him
around and did some sharp turns, and
yes I did all kinds of halts. :) I
am so happy with him though. He
truly is
a awesome horse. I can't thank you
enough for all the training you did
with him. I have gotten comfortable
enough to lope him around now, so I
am ready to start training in
barrels. The only problem is that it
keeps raining. I want to go out
there and start barrel racing, but
it's slick out there that I don't
want to hurt him or me. Besides the
bad weather he is doing great. I
could send you so pictures of how he
is doing anytime you want me to. I
would just have to take some. I have
either been riding him, playing
around with him, cleaning him, or
its just been raining so much
I don't really take much
pictures. Anyway, he is doing great.
He really loves it here and he loves
his new best buddy, Oreo.
Thank You,
Rachel
Montoya Tessica
~now a pleasure and trail riding horse in
Old Tappan, NJ!
Hi
Tess arrived safe and sound and calm at 4:30 this morning. We ( I
woke up my son Pete) unloaded her in the street in front of my house and
walked back to the barn.She was as cool as a cucumber .I was /am
incredibly impressed since it was really dark out- the moon had
set.Settled into her stall -sipped a little , had some hay and was
relaxed. Gave the wall on good kick which I'm sure the Haffie needed-
someone has to keep her in line ! Donny was terrific,called me, let me
know what was going on and just a really nice decent human. This has
been the best- easiest horse transaction I have ever experienced. I
cannot thank you enough.
Tess is beautiful ,can't wait to take her outside and see what she
really looks like AND RIDE !!

you videos of dallas playing in the water with me when we had a hard
rain for 30 mins and it flooded my whole front yard.. he would walk into
the water with me and then just plop down and my a wave then start
rolling in the water, but those videos are on my other computer, ill try
to send those next time there is alot of wind in the back ground. but
these pics are where in the first one dallas is giving my lil boy a BIG
WET KISS and my lil boy said it tickled haha... the other was where they
were giving each other a kiss... he is very good with my lil boy, he
follows all of us but once he sees my boy he is going where he goes,
weather its just walking or on his lil rideable car he has... he is so
sweet, ive never actually had a horse go in the water with me and i was
going crazy that day haha... well just wanted to send a few pics and ill
try to get those videos to you soon..
thanks,
rachel

more pictures of Dallas/Otis, he is so silly. the number 9 pic is him
wanting to eat my daughters Guinea pigs food, number 8 is Dallas at our
front door waiting on us i guess, we opened the door a he was right
there ha.. and number 7 is our Lil boy giving Dallas a carrot ha, number

rachel
Dallas is doing
really good. we are enjoying every minute we have with him, he is just
like a puppy, helikes to run up and down the fence line with my dogs. he
is very good with my little boy, if he cries he comes straight to him to
see whats going on, the two of them love to give each other kisses, its
really cute. my husband and daughter are getting to where they aren't as
scared of him anymore, but i think Dallas knows they have a little fear
towards him and Dallas purposely will follow them around and they will
run its hilarious.. anyways i like to thank you so much for him, i
really enjoy him he is alot like my horse i recently loss in January.. i
hope to see y'all soon again and someday get a play partner for Dallas
to play with from y'all.. again thanks for everything..
thanks,
rachel
"Jack"~now has a forever home as a pleasure horse in
Reno, NV!
I have just got to tell you how much I love Jack!!! He
is so coming around. He is very comfortable with me and now walks up to
me to put his halter on. He has wonderful manners loves the attention
and wants to be ridden. I don't push him he just takes me (mamma) for a
pony ride. He makes all my horse work worthwhile. He came thru the
winter great. I am so glad I found him!! Nancy from Reno
Rode him today he is outstanding. We are totally connecting did a
beautiful slow jog trot on the buckle so to speak, I read him and he listens
well. He is getting very relaxed and soft. I don't ask much and he doesn't
expend any more energy than he has to. He is so what I wanted. No arguements. He
is very comfortable with me as I am with him. Now for a new name. Asante means
thankyou in swaheely{african} that might be it. I have to see what he thinks.
Nancy
He did great!! He is very responsive and willing. He seems to go with the level
of the rider. We are connecting. I love the slow jog trot and of course he wants
to stop when I sit down but kiss kiss and I can push him right past the stop. We
will get it together literally. I really really am Happy with him!!! I do want
to change his name and am having alot of trouble with that. He is so calm, kind
and pleasent. He got his shots yesterday and had no reaction from them. He will
get his teeth floated in a couple weeks and we should be ready to head into
winter. I really like his nature, spirit, and way of going and I knew all that
from watching his video! I couldn't be more happy with him!!!! Thankyou so much
for making him possible. Nancy
Micah~now with a new rider here locally in Fort
Worth, TX!
I just wanted to tell you how much we love Micah! I have recommended ya'll to
many of my friends. You do a great job in marketing the horses. I have tons of
pictures of her from your website. Thanks!!
I have been taking lessons on her and learning to jump. She is the perfect
babysitter that I needed. Micah loves her paddock mate (Sheza) They go through a
round bale in about a week and a half. The girl loves her food!! I put front
shoes on her and her feet look so much better. I
just put her on Mare Magic to see if she will calm down. She is a different
horse than I bought her. She has so much more energy. I always have to
put her in the round pen before I ride. I know she is a pushy big mare, I have
to tell her I am the boss. My shoer also sees a big difference. Was she on any
supplements or do you recommend any that might work.I would love to get her like
she was 4 months ago. Please don't get me wrong I love her to death. We are
learning together. I hope to send pictures soon. Thanks again Mary Collins Fort
Worth
Shooter made it! He did well. He is very sweet, I got on and rode him
bareback with just the halter around the property...I love the way he stands
completely still. I have a thoroughbred that can't stand still for more then
about 2 minutes without pawing, pacing or throwing her head all about! It's
refreshing to have such a calm horse!
Thanks again! Bo
Miss Delta Steel~now a pleasure horse in Echo Bay, Ontario,
Canada
Delta
is such a sweetheart though she may need more time on a one on one with me nicer
weather is coming so i will have more time for them both. I ponied my gelding
while riding Delta she did not not seem to mind at all. she also was great when
when i took her on the side of the busy fast hwy.
we had to have been gone for about a 2 hr ride she was excellent i love her
anyways buy for now i will wait for pictures of bunny and the black appendix as
well take care. pam
Claytons Blue Jake~now pleasure/trail riding in Happy, TX
I bought Clayton the blue roan back in Feb. I have misplaced the papers you
sent and need another copy of the signed bill of sale if you can get one. Sorry
it has been so long. I just kept thinking I would find it but I need to get his
papers changed before I completely forget. Sorry for the trouble.
Thanks,
Magen Pearson
P.S. He is doing great
Thanks
"Blue" is
doing great. We gathered cattle all week and he acted like a pro; great trail
riding in Palo Duro and a sweetheart in the barn and pasture. We enjoyed you
girls and your facilities. I will be recommending y'all to others.
Thanks again,
Magen Pearson
Just wanted to drop you a note on Shelly/Rain....Our whole family just loves
her. Thanks so much for all your help. We'll send some info/pictures back to you
all.
I
have a couple quick questions if you don't mine:
When was the last time she was shoed?
I noticed, she really needs to have a good workout/turnout in order for my
daughter to really control her. Also, we tried a smooth 5" snaffle bit...which
didn't seem to be enough to really get her to stop and respond. Any suggestions,
should we bring it up a notch with a twisted?
If you have any tips that you can remember with her that you could pass on...we
would truly appreciate.
She is such a smart sweet girl...I think she has replaced me in my daughters top
favorite things list.
Hey,
wanted to let you know that all is going really well with
admiral and rio. rio constantly tests me, but he learning i'm
not going to give up my alpha position. i love how he hangs out
with me no matter what i'm doing. he is so curious and i swear
if he could help me clean out water tubs and muck pens he would.
he's always in my face, but i love that when he's respectful. i
finally found a saddle for him that fits. he's so much smaller
than zippy and has a short
back so i've been searching for a saddle since i got him.
i've attached a photo of admiral hanging out in the yard and
zippy and rio in their paddock. they go out on pasture for about
4 hours a day, but each one gets a bit of time in the yard in
the afternoon. they are great at "weed eating" the long grass
around the trees.
love them both. they are great horses.
leah
at long last patriot aka "rio" is home. i think i have to
have a name that flows better. patriot is a nice name, but a bit
hard to say so i took the middle out of it and named him rio.
he and zippy are going to get along really well. they have
visited and had lots of communication over the fence. i'll give
them a few days apart and then put them together. admiral is
pretty indifferent to him. he would rather be with me. he is
such a lovey horse.
rio got his first round pen lesson with joanne today. he's not
too keen about letting her get on his right side and kicked out
a few times, but she kept playing with him and he got it that
she is the leader and eventually went off nice and quiet with no
ill intent towards her and the flag she uses. she's thinking
he's never had anyone ask him to do what she was asking, but she
said he learns quick. he always returned to her at his own will
when she asked for a whoa. he will be fun to work with.
he's out having his beet pulp mash right now. he's a bit thin
probably from the trip. we put a stick on him today and he's
14.2. a little ribby right now, but we will fix that. i've stuck
him on pre and probiotic to help him out and i've got great hay
so it shouldn't be long before he fills out a bit.
will keep you up to date on his progress.
thanks for all your help.
leah
Hi!
Well, it has been forever since I bought "Pumpkin" from you. His
name is now Peanut due to the fact that there was already a
Pumpkin at my barn. He is doing GREAT, I couldn't be happier.
Him and I went through a rough amount of time for a while but we
confidently got over
it and now he is just amazing. I was with my friends a couple of
days ago and they dared me to try a 3 foot jump on him, I was
thinking to myself that he couldn't do it. For crying out loud
the thing is only a foot shorter than him! Well, I tried it and
he glided right over that sucker. I sent a picture with me and
him doing some jumps, including the 3 footer. Sorry for not
getting back 3 years sooner! Thanks a lot for him!
Cici Shinning Tenia~Now running barrels in Eureka, CA
I don't know if you and your sister remember me, but my mom and
I flew from California to Texas to look at a horse that I could
use for barrels. That was last July of 2008. The
mare i bought was 14.3 hands sorrel her name was cici shinning
tenia. I had originally flew there to see a different
horse, but came home with one that fits me better:0) I
could not be more pleased with her =) We are doing good on
the barrels and even own a Belt Buckle this year!!
I am emailing you because I need your girls help again! My
Husband has seen how much fun I am having with cici and would
like a horse too! Hope you can help!! ??
Lots of thanks for helping me find my horse last year!

Pink Lace~Now trail riding, and being a broodmare in the Czech Republic!
Hi
YES Lacey foaled just
TODAY on the pasture (almost in
the midnight) and she has petty
and beautiful but one colored
filly. She is sorrel solid now
but she will be probably red
roan in the future.
:-)
Please let me know by e-mail
some info about stallion (name,
registration number, color)
please. That would be great if
you will send also some picture
or copy of his registration
certificate ( if you can get
some) please. The Breeders
Certificate send please to my
address as you mentioned.
Please let me know if you get my
e-mail and if you can get this
for me as I can ask APHA
certificate for the filly.
Thanks a lot for your help!
In a few days I will send you
more pictures for you and former
owner of Lacey..
Have a nice day!
Dan
How are you and your
horses?
I just want to let you
know that Lacey is in good shape
here in Czech Republic and we
are waiting for the foal which
has to be born next week (if the
info about breeding term was
right). I would like to remind
you if you can send me the name
and registration number of the
stallion as I can know who is
the sire of the foal. As the
foal will be born I will let you
know because of breeding certificate
you promise me to get from the
stallion owner.
Thanks for your help! Have
a nice day!
Dan
PS: In the another e-mail
I will send immediately you can
find the pictures of Lacey on
the pasture with another our
horses.. :-)
BKE CeeCee Way~running barrels and poles in San Leon, TX
We
love CeeCee! She is doing great!
Thanks!
Brenda Petters
Countess and Dolly~Now with an awesome family on the beach in
Acapulco, Mexico
Just wanted to drop a line and a few pics of Dolly's first
experience
on the beach. Your Dad would get a charge out of our experience with
my Mexican friends loading her on a trailer. They finally gave up
and
crossed the border using a three horse slant, because they could not
load her and I guess it got ugly. Needless to say we had to drive to
the Mexican side and pull the horses down ourselves, no one would
touch her (she was crazy). Your Dad would have loved it, the same
crew plus about 4 other experts decided to attend the festivities,
which included beer. They pulled up chairs and sat in the shade
while
I worked Dolly on the ground for about 30 minutes then I was ready
to
ASK her to enter the trailer, which of course she did not want any
part of. After another 20 min she gladly entered the trailer and has
not had a problem since. The bet was minimum of 4 hours I told them
1.5 hours and the actual was 55 min. Your Dad would appreciate the
story so please pass it along, One for the dumb gringos!
My wife Bridget is loving Countess as well. Both mares are becoming
acquainted with Dunzee and it seems Countess will be the first to
seal
a deal, she should be ready by Wednesday.
Please pass along our regards to your folks and await a visit. How
is
the baby coming along?
Just wanted you to know that we are
so pleased with Jade so far! She is such a cutie! She seems to
be adjusting well to her new home and has been getting LOTS of
attention & has been making friends with our other two miniature
horses and two mini donkeys- it's funny! And- I have found that
Jade is really curious and responsive to small children...she
follows around and watches my daughter and my niece & nephew-
it's cool!
Thanks again for working with us- I just wanted you to know
that she is doing just fine! We will be sure to keep you posted
on her- and maybe we will be in touch again to buy another horse
(hopefully for me!) sometime soon! Thanks for everything!

Marcus
~Now a pleasure/trail riding horse in Grants
Pass, OR
Marcus is doing very well. I am taking him to a ranch this
week to do some training with a retired policeman who rode and
also trained police horses, I am sooooo excited, I know that
Marcus will love it as will I. I am the one who needs the
training because Marcus is so smart and I need to do right by
him. He and I do however get along so well. I adore him.
I hope that all is well with you and your family! I will look
forward to hearing from you.
As always, thank you!
Martina
Hi
I thought that I would send a picture of my
granddaughter and Marcus. My son in law brought her up a week
ago Saturday, and we had so much fun! She loved/loves Marcus.
I took her for a ride; Marcus was good as gold!! Quinn was here
for a week; she is three and full of energy; we however had the
best time. We played with Marcus and backed cookies, lots and
lots of cookies; I think it will take me at least a week to get
my kitchen back "dough" free. : ) My daughter and family live in
Santa Cruz, so this was a real treat to get her for the week. My
son in law took pictures of Quinn and I riding and when he sends
them to me I will forward one to you.
Marcus is doing very well! I just love him more and more
everyday!!! After a week of not riding him, I took him out this
past Saturday for a couple of hours and he was a dream!!!!! I am
thinking/hoping that
he is trusting me and I can't be any happier. It was an awesome
ride; on the road, on some trails and he was spectacular.
As always, I hope that you are doing well, please feel
free to take a vacation here, and I look forward to hearing from
you. My best to you and Amanda!
Martina
Hi
I
figured you were busy, and thank you for the information! I did
order the one bit that you emailed me and am hoping to get it
today. I have attached a couple of pictures of Marcus with my
husband and myself. He is so beautiful! I'm hoping to get my
work done for the day and spend time with him; it makes my day!
Thought you would like this picture.
Hope you all are doing well. Talk to you
soon,.Skylar is going to show jelly bean
in January. Please if you will forward
this picture to the previous owner. I am
sure they would love to see him. If you
could please tell them that he is doing
great and skylar loves him dearly.
thanks
Joy
Just wanted to let you know that
Skylar did show Jelly Bean today and they
got Reserve Champion of their division. She
did three courses of 10 jumps 2 ft and it
was timed event. They did wonderful
together. Skylar has not gotten off her
cloud yet. When I get the pictures off my
camera I will send you one. I also took
video but I have no clue how to send that.
Take care
Joy
We
check your website daily to see what is
happening and it sure looks like a lot is
happening. We would love to see an update on
your website about jelly bean. Skylar looks
for it daily. She wants everyone to know
where he is and that he is doing GREAT!!!!
They had there pony club lesson yesterday
and the were jumping a in and out up to 2'6"
and she was so excited. I am coming to
Dallas the first weekend on Nov for a
modeling seminar for Skylar and we got some
of the cutest pictures of skylar and
jellybean. I will try and send you a copy
via email once I get the picture on my
computer.
We are also going to start a little pony
party business and Jelly Bean will be the
star. We are very excited. I would like to
do about 6-8 parties a month to help
supplement our horses. I look forward to
seeing PC. I love that little POA you have
on your website. He is what I was really
looking for but I have to tell you Jelly
Bean is perfect for Skylar. As I have
mentioned She loves him so much.
Take care
For your update. Jelly Bean is in Oakton Virginia. He is being pony clubbed. His
owner is Skylar Oke and she is 11 years old. They are a pair made for each
other.
Just a quick note to let you know
that Cooter has settled in very well to
his new home. He's a happy guy, and we
are very happy with him. We've taken
him our quite a number of times since
the "incident", and all has gone well.
Apple Jack is a happy guy too!
We plan to go on our first trail ride
with them weekend after next.
Thanks for all your help.
Tommy and Trobie Thompson
Hi
Just a note to let you know we made it
home safe with Cooter. He trailored very
well. When we turned our horses out Sunday
morning, Apple Jack went straight to Cooter
to establish dominance. Cooter literally
kicked Apple Jack's butt, but he will be OK.
Today, they are friends, eating together in
the pasture.
Also want to let you guys know it's
always nice doing business with you. The two
horses we bought were exactly as advertised.

Gold Leo Reed
~Now being an all-around horse for a sweet lady
near Boerne, TX
Hi!
Just wanted to let you know that Reed is just
wonderful. We went to an “adult” play day and had a blast. We did a little bit
of everything but the most fun was winning 2nd place
in barrels! During the clinic they had us switch horses and both riders that
rode Reed said he was awesome! I hope to start team penning with him this spring
at the cowboy church that I go to. Its been 2 years since I purchased him and
absolutely NO regrets. He is the best.
Merry Christmas
Robin & Reed
I
did have a lesson on Reed Saturday and he was a good boy. I
rode Sunday and he was like a little kid.....I don't want to
do this!!!!! We worked through it and he was just fine. I
am taking another lesson with the trainer tomorrow evening
and I can't wait. She has him spinning, side passing,
loping collected, trotting with his head down and
collected....and a really good stop on him. He is still
learning but he is catching on really quick. I just love
him so much.
Now
that he has filled out, muscled up and his coat is really
pretty I get lots of compliments when I bring him out of his
stall and other folks see him. Just wait until he sheds out
his winter coat!!!! Everyone says he is so pretty! They
haven't seen anything yet!
Hi
I am sorry I haven't sent a pic of Play box.
But we have busy playing and learning
together. We did a cow clinic Last week and
it was a good time.
I see you 2 have been real busy with horses.
I keep watch just in case..lol Here is
a pic
of just 1 week ago if that..lol
Well here is his pic of his 1st snow fall.
we got 13" last night. We have had a dusting
but not like this. He is getting a nice
winter coat, which I am very happy. I don't
like to blanket if I don't have to. But time
will tell especially when it gets 0 degrees.
Well enjoy you warm weather..
Talk to you soon Sam
I'm
looking for a parade/showhorse,
let me know if you come across
anything like that. Bill
and I joined the Marshal's Posse
and Bella & Roper are doing
great. Here are some
pictures of us and our horses.Thanks Tina
Just wanted to let you know PC is doing
great. He is an awesome lesson horse for our
kids at the
YMCA
Camp Pine Tree where he lives. I took him
out on the trails last weekend and he did
really good. He is such a sweet boy. He has
paired up with a gray mare and follows her
around everywhere she goes. We are very
happy with him.
Thank you so much.
Mary Newland
Sadieand Stardust Lace
~Now both pleasure/trail riding horses in New Orleans, LA!
Hi
there,
I hope all is well
with you and Amanda. I
miss coming out to
Dallas, I was on a role
for a while. I always
check on you all through
the website and only
wish the best for you
and your incredible
business. You run an
amazing show at Valley
View and so many people
are blessed with great
horses because of your
hard work. I am always
raving about your stable
and have sent your
information to tons of
people. I am surprised
my uncle has not bought
a horse from you yet. I
am sure he will soon.
As you soon know
times are hard right
now. The real estate
market in New Orleans
has taking a big hit and
my personal company is
really struggling. I
have been avoiding this
email for a long time
but feel at this point I
am out of options. If I
could take the economy
out of the equation the
last six months have
probably been some of
the happiest months of
my life and I owe that
to Stardust and Sadie.
Being with them almost
everyday is therapy to
me and I know how much I
need them in my life. At
this point there is no
way I can make sense of
keeping them both so
regretfully I am
emailing you to see if
you can sell Stardust
for me. She has been an
amazing horse and one
that will make anybody
she is with extremely
happy. For my family she
has been a trusting
horse that anybody can
ride. She is amazing
along the levy in the
middle of the city with
so many scary new things
around. Often we would
be riding alone 15ft
from a train and she
always makes me feel so
safe. She was the
perfect match for what I
needed and I know how
hard that is to find.
She really is a GREAT
horse and many will miss
her. Having just said that
I am not sure why I am
selling her.:( I know I
have to sell her but I
would
love to keep up with her
where ever she goes and
possibly have a chance
to get her back
someday.(if ever the new
owners wanted to sell
her) She is up to date
on all her shots, never
been lame, never
required any special
medical attention, never
given me any trouble,
always been perfectly
healthy. I can have her
transported to you all
by the same guys that
brought her to me.
Again, this was such
a hard letter to write
and I have been avoiding
it for a long time but
like I said sadly I am
out of options. I can
assure you that as soon
as this economy or my
career turns around I
will be up there in
Dallas trying to find
the next perfect
addition to my family.
Having two horses has
been a great ride and
one day (soon) I know I
will be lucky enough to
do it again.
Please email me and
let me know your
thoughts about moving
forward!
Take care, Kendall
*** Sadie is my heart
and soul and I will
fight to the bitter end
to keep her in my life.
I will
sell
my house before she goes
anywhere. She is he
horse I want my kids
(when I have them) to
learn to ride on! ☺
Here are some funny pics
from when me and my
boyfriend took the girls out
to Mississippi for the
weekend.
Hi
I just wanted to let you know
that I absolutely adore Sadie.
She is exactly what I have been
looking for for a very long
time. Next time you and Amanda
make it to New Orleans you have
got to come ride with us.
I am going to send you some pics
of us riding on the levee. I
have never put a saddle on her.
I ride her bareback in a hack
every time I go out. I have not
found a saddle wide enough for
her yet but she doesn't need
one. What type of bit would you
recommend for her. I don't want
anything too harsh because she
is
so broke but something anybody
could ride her in?
Also, do you have her regular
shot schedule? The barn was
asking what you all had given
her while she was with you.
Thanks so much for everything.
She his such an awesome horse.
Take care,
Kendall
Monets Countess~Now a project with the Jackson family here in TX!
I
know your a busy person but I have to tell
you. I love this horse! I took
her to roping lessons with my son and
tracked a few calves on her. She was a
blast! I'm not sure if she's ever ran
that hard but she was right on the cows and
was biting their butts. It was great!
She's still not sure what's going on but is
definitely settling in well. Thanks
for all of your help. We will buy from
ya'll again in the future.

"Amp"~Also with Janet who is now at school in Days Creek, OR!
Hi
As far as I can tell, Amp is doing fine and likes the
place quite well. Janet probably needs to ride him more. I
will get the correct equipment and send it to her. Amp is
in good hands, I toured the Stable myself when I took Janet
down to Oregon in August. They have a good feed program and
lots of room for the horses.
Thanks for your help.
Mrs. Zello
Hello.
I received the Certificate of
Registration for Heza. Many thanks! He is
working out great for Michelle's riding
lessons......very versatile.
She will start showing him most likely
this Spring! He is just so versatile. Heza
and Michelle can learn and grow together.
The instructors are very impressed with his
training and ground work thus far. Thanks!
I pray all is well.
God bless.
Hi!
I just wanted to send you a note
to thank you once again for
suggesting Harrison to me. He
is such a wonderful horse and
has a terrific personality. It
is hard to believe that he is so
mature even though he is only
four years old. Although he
grew up in Canada, Harrison has
now weathered a hot Houston
summer and his first (and, I
hope last) hurricane! Luckily,
the barn where I board him was
not damaged or flooded in the
storm. Other than his beautiful
bay coat turning slightly blonde
this summer, he is no worse for
the wear and his beautiful bay
colors are finally coming back
this fall!
Now
that I am mostly recovered from
my injures and back to riding, I
have been taking him to some
local shows. This weekend we
got four firsts and one second.
Harrison is such a quick learner
- one he sees something just
once or twice he becomes a pro
at it. I am planning on
starting to work with him on
reining again and also on trail
riding. One of his best traits
is his versatility. He is also
the easiest horse to catch in
the pasture - when he hears my
voice he runs across the pasture
and stands at the gate for me.
Harrison is so unique (and
smart) and he is a joy to have
as part of our family.
We
will be back to see you someday
for a "husband horse". We just
bought some acreage in Luling so
that we can have our horses live
with us when we retire. So, if
you come across an exceptional
trail horse with "more whoa,
than go" that would be a great
beginner horse, please let me
know.
Nancy Currie
Gee~Now in training for
mounted patrol in McKinney, TX!
Just sending you an update on Hank!
We absolutely LOVE him! He has been
so kind. He doesn't have a mean bone
in his body!
Our friends brother is almost
completely paralyzed and he said he
would give anything to ride Hank.
So, they put him in the saddle and
Hank knew that he was almost
paralyzed because he stood perfectly
still and
led this man around as though he was
a baby.
So, we absolutely love him! You
couldn't ask for a better horse!
Talk soon,
Marilyn Wilkins
Poco~Now in Santa Catarina, just outside of
Monterey, Mexico!
Hi,
How has
everything been? I hope everything
is working out great for you.
I’m just writing to say hello and
let you know that Poco is doing very
well, she is verywell mannered, on
the ground and in the stall.
Thanks
Guillermo Boughton
Odie~Now REALLY enjoying his new life; both in
Chama NM, and in Athens, TX!
Hi-
Hope all is well back there in TX!
Odie and I are up near Chama, NM for
the summer and loving the
temperatures and views.
Just thought you would like to know
how he and I are working out. Today
we did a 26 mile ride/walk across
the border of CO/NM, most of it in
some of the more rugged country that
I’ve been in with a horse. Let’s put
it this way…..we made our own trail.
After all my years of riding horses
in the mountains of Colorado,
northern BC Canada, and even in the
wilds of Kyrgyzstan on the border of
China, I can honestly say that Odie
is one of those horses who is made
for the mountains and loves every
minute of it. I am extremely
impressed with his agility and
willingness to go anywhere and try
anything. He cannot seem to get
enough of going hard and exploring
even the nastiest places in the
woods. Just yesterday I rode him
with a couple other horseback
friends and even after 4 hrs of
uphill at 9,000 ft +, he still was
not wanting to go back to the
corrals…even got kind of upset about
ending the ride! I don’t know what
his previous owners used him for,
but if they had used him like I am I
doubt they would have ever sold him.
From forging a chest-high river
while packing our Jack Russell
terrier, to sliding down a slippery
mud slope on his butt and traversing
a very bad patch of deadfall timber,
he is truly a joy to ride and be
around. All the fresh mountain
grasses he can eat, and endless
trails and backcountry to explore
seem to have put him in horsey
heaven. Plus, the cool 45 degree
nights and 80’s of the day are very
pleasant too.
When I get back from my upcoming
backpacking trip into Wyoming I’m
going to get him used to picket
lines and hobbles. I plan on making
a couple solo trips with overnights
and need him to be able to graze at
will during the night. I would just
let him be free, but am afraid he
would come sniff and harass me all
night because I am resting when we
could be riding! In three weeks we
are helping move 1,000 head of
cattle into another pasture here in
the CO National Forest. Based on his
eagerness to get after those
critters today, I could be in for a
little bit of “Man from Snowy River”
action going after strays. Am
getting him shod with cleat shoes
this next week for better traction
on those steep slopes.
I am so glad that the black horse
that I was interested in that day
sold..…otherwise I probably would
never have had the chance to meet
Odie and gain a new buddy and
unbelievable riding horse. Sometimes
horses just have untapped potential.
Attached are a few photos of myself
and friends with Odie during our big
trek today. These were taken in the
portion of the ride where I needed
the exercise more than him! Our
friends are so in love with him….the
gal is totally spoiling him with
treats. :-)
Please
tell his previous owners “thanks”
for starting him out so well, and
also for not wanting to keep him
(for whatever reason). Sometimes one
person’s rock is another person’s
diamond. He’s just a joy!
Thanks again for providing a great
service to me and other people
looking who are looking for their
new best buddy.
Cheers,
Amy Martin
Abbey ~This
awesome little pony never made it on our website; now in Ardmore, OK!
Abbey is a gorgeous little pony with
near perfect conformation, she went
to a very dedicated, motivated young
girl. This young lady works
hard and deserves the best.
Abbey went to be a teacher, for now
they want to go to some local shows
for experience, with a goal of
hopefully one day cleaning up in the
barrels and poles. Abbey is a
top of the line pony, before being
sold to her new home, Abbey was
shown on the POAC circuit, and won
an International title! This
is super little pony, and they are
turning into a super team.
Dancer~Now living the good life on a ranch in Lago
Vista, TX!
Hello,
I just wanted to say that Dancer is
doing good and is a great horse. She
is in a good home and is loving her
two playmates (Mate and Lonesome,
both Geldings). I have sent several
other people your website as I was
pleased with what you had to offer
when I came to look at the horses
and the time you spent with us. Take
care and I will talk to you soon.
Pamela and Bill
Daisy~Now a popular pony with the kids
in the Garnos family in Presho, SD!
Hey
/i>
I had one more
question about Daisy. Do you
know if she has ever pulled a cart
before? We decided to hook her
up to one just to see if she would
pull it the other day and she did
awesome. We had all the little
ones riding in it within an hour.
We even had her loping a little
around the
yard. We had a blast. My
6yr old even had the reins and he
and I were driving her around.
My dad said she must have been
driven before and I was just
wondering if you knew. I
bought the cart and harness out of
the paper and had never even hooked
it up before and she pulled it like
she had been doing it for years. I
might get some skis for the cart and
see if she will pull it through the
snow. Take care, we are having
fun with Daisy. Cheyenne Garnos
Just
wanted to let you know my kids did
great on Daisy the last couple
rodeos of the year. My little girl
used her for barrel and poles and
they all took turns using her for
the goat tail tying. Just wanted to
say thanks again for a great little
pony. Hope she won't mind the
cold South Dakota winter too
much. Take care and if you have
anymore playday or kids rope horses
for sale please let me know!
Thank you, Cheyenne Garnos
Hi,
We will ride Daisy in a snaffle.
That will probably
work the best. We trimmed her
feet and she looks good now. My kids
are fighting over her, they like her
allot! Take care and thanks allot
for Daisy.
Cheyenne Garnos
As you can see he has found the grass , after a week he can go in the pasture
with one other gelding, and be just a plain real horse love love love him thanks
for all .
Hi,
I realized that I hadn't given
you the awesome testimonial
about Triples that you so
deserve. Thank You!! We love
her. We call her Truly now
because she is truly amazing!!
She is one of the kindest,
sweetest horses I have ever
owned, we adore her! I was so
nervous about buying out of
state but the process was easy
and WOW the payoff of owning
a horse this nice was HUGE!! She
lives nicely during the day in a
2 acre pasture and we tuck her
in at night in a warm cozy barn.
We do lots of trail riding (even
lots of horse camping), she has
been an amazing confidence
builder for me, I just can't say
enough great stuff about her,
Thank You!!!
Nick and
Frosty
~Now pleasure horses in Lake Ariel, PA!
Hi
there,
You're absolutely right-Frosty is
a great mare. I have absolutely no
complaints about her! Nick did really
great at the show. The first show he
went to was a Western show and he
actually was Grand Champ in the Sr.
Western Horse Division and placed highly
in the Open WP division. At the
hunter/jumper show over the weekend, he
placed 6th out of 20 in an English
pleasure flat class, which was great
considering all the TB's and Warmbloods
he was competing against-and that's the
kind of horse that's super popular with
the judges around here. He also did two
Beginner Hunter fence classes and did
just wonderfully for his first over
fences classes. Everyone loves him and
our trainer always raves about him.
They both are really, really nice
horses!
If it's okay, let me think on
Frosty for a week or 2 and get back to
you for sure. We won't breed her. If you
think this time of the year would be
just as easy to sell her, then maybe
we'll go ahead and send her to you,
What did you think was a reasonable
price to ask for her?
Thanks so much and I'll definitely
be in touch!
Amy
Hi
there,
Just wanted to let you know that
the horses arrived today in great
shape. They are all we hoped they'd be
and were truly great considering they
had been on the road for a couple of
days, switched trailers so the shipper
wouldn't have to come on a narrow back
road,
then came to a new place (where a
stallion was out racing up and down a
nearby fence.) We're very pleased and
happy with both of them!
Thanks so much for everything!!
Amy
Daphne
~Now teaching a little girl to ride in
Weatherford, TX!
I just thought I'd let you know
that Crackle got here about 5:30 pm
yesterday and
settled in really nicely. She seems
to be just as advertised, she is
sweet. I like her very much so far.
Thanks,
Marcia
Miss Black~Now a beginner girl's horse in Layola,
Kansas!
And the good stuff, photo of Katrina and
Marymac J
Mary has put on
weight since this photo, she is looking
very good! She is a wonderful sweet
horse and perfect for our
granddaughter. Next year she will be
using her in the Ride America program
for Paint horses. You may use this
photo on your website if you wish; I
will try to get you one of her riding
too.
It's Jane Harris. I bought Jack from you
in January. I am so happy with this
little guy. He had some major cinching
and cross-tying issues in the beginning,
but I put him with a reining trainer for
three months, and he is much better now
- such a clown. I now have him at home,
by himself, and he seems very content. I
trailer him out to trail locations at
least four times a week, and he is a
great trail horse. He plows through
anything I ask of him, and has the
smoothest fast walk. I love it.
My trainer thinks I'm nuts using
him only to trail ride. She loves him,
and wants to show him. However, that's
not what I bought him for.
I'll send photos one of these days. He's
gotten really cute, and gets more and
more roaning as the months go by.
I wanted to check with you and make sure that I got all of
George's papers. I wasn't sure if I got everything since we
had originally taken him
on a trial period. Anyway, he is doing great! He is really a
sweetheart and has the greatest personality. We love him!
Let me know about the papers.
Hi
there!
I just wanted to check in and let
you know how Maximus is doing. He
is just as sweet as you could want!
I have ridden him quite a bit this
last summer and put him into some
obstacle courses just for the fun of
it. We are getting ready for a
competitive trail class in January
so any and all exposure has been
worth it. Also the last
Thanksgiving week my 6 yr old
granddaughter and her cousin (13)
from California came out for a visit
and to see “her” blue paint horse.
MG (as we call him) was put to the
test with two little girls riding
him and just being kids on
horseback. It was a joy to see him
just look at them like they were
little nuts and then stand quietly
and have them all over him. The
little one even went out (far out)
in pasture to catch him so she could
ride. He
is a joy to have around and a
pleasure to ride. Thought you might
like to know!
How are plans for the wedding going?
Have a wonderful holiday and I hope
to hear form you sometime soon.
Hi
,
Just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for the
arrangements you made for shipping Chip. He arrived calm, happy
and in great shape. He
is minding his manners with the other horses. I worked him from
the ground a bit this afternoon and he did
great...I think he will settle in just fine.
Thanks for making the whole process so nice and easy.

DW Starlight~Now a with an awesome new owner in
Pueblo West, CO!
"D-dub", now called "Dallas", is in
training to do reining and all-around
events.
AintSheAwesome~Now running barrels with a young lady in
Brant Lake, NY!
Sorry
these took so long to send, but we just
wanted to let you know how well Dixie is
doing. Shannon and Dixie are really
starting to shave off the seconds around
the barrels. National High School Rodeo
came to NY for the first time this year
and she went to her first rodeo this
past weekend and they did very well.
These pictures are from a local rodeo
upstate NY over Labor Day weekend. She
did very well and placed in 2D.
Hi
girls, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy Lucky Bonanza
Doc. He is everything you said; He is doing
well. I have not gotten to ride much with all
the rain, but
when I do I really like him. My husband "cowboy troy" has
ridden him once very quietly and is getting
used to him and likes him to.
Thanks, Doris
Buttons~Now riding trails with a sweet lady in
Houston, TX!
Hey
I wanted to let you know how much I am
enjoying Buttons, which I
named Selena.
She is the sweetest mare I have ever
been around. The trainer that trains for
trails took her out for a few hours and
said she is great. Everyone
I ride with wants to buy her. Click on
the big picture and the pictures below
with appear where she is swimming.
Thanks again, Ann
Here
are just a few pictures of Magie at her
new home. As you can see Sazi had to get
in the picture too. The last picture is
how Patty gets greeted every day when
she comes home.
I
will send more tonight after we attempt
to ride.
Terry
Tigger~Now with a wonderful, dedicated little rider in Plano, TX!
Hi
, this is Beth, I'm with Moraine and we have Tigger and I was
just calling to tell you that they have just turned a major
cornerstone, she is walking, trotting, cantering on Tigger and
he is just listening and doing everything and we went on our
first trail ride today. And he was picture perfect and she is
just on cloud 9 so, we are doing very well w him and just wanted
to let you know. Thanks
When his little 8 year old rider outgrew him, we sold
Tigger
again - to Moraine in Plano, TX
Hey
We have put him in a 1/2
of pound and a flake of coastal hay, so we've upped his food,
Moraine's having a lesson w Elaine everyday this week and loving
it. And really doing really well. And I'm sure he's the cleanest
horse that's ever been in a barn. Now he's getting a bubble bath
and conditioning his mane and tail everyday now. So, we already
know what his favorite treats are. So, its wonderful and they
are making the perfect team . So, thank you! And we will keep in
touch! Thanks
Tigger~Now an 8 year old's pony in New Braunfels, TX
Tigger has a great new home with an awesome family.
He gets lots of love and attention!
Here are some more pics of Emily on Teddy at
another show she did with Terrie. Her & Teddy
mesh perfectly together.
Thanks,
Bert

Hello,
I am sorry to just be getting back
with you. Baby was sick and then me
too. Well I have wonderful news.
Amber and Meg are lopping the
barrels. That little mare really
takes care of Meghan. Everyone says
I got a great little horse. I give
them your web site. Hope you make a
sale someday from Meghan & Amber. I
will be expecting my commission from
any sales. LOL Well you take
care. Talk to you soon.

Sophie is really a sweetheart and seems
to love her new home here in Washington
state. She is ridden by everyone in the
family and has really taken a liking to my

she takes things slow for him. We look
forward to many years with her. Thank you
for this gorgeous girl.

Here's Looking At You Kid aka: " Boggie"
~owned by a young lady in Covington, LA
Just wanted to send you a
couple of pictures of Lauren and Boggie. His show name
is Here's Looking At You Kid.
This is a picture of them at their first
horse show. We've
had him a year now. He has the BEST manners and is
super sweet. We are so happy with him. You couldn't
offer us enough for him. Lauren LOVES him.
Thanks for a great horse.
Thanks Yvette
Hi
I purchased the paint mare Twisted
Britches from you in April of 2006.
Just wanted to update you on this
wonderful mare. She was bred last
year and foaled May 17, 2008,
a beautiful paint filly we named Hot
Spanish
Twist ( her sires name is ZW Spanish
Gunfire. I am attaching a few photos
of our new little girl. Thanks
again, we love her. Linda Moss-Badalamenti.
Hi,
She has
been to one gymkhana, where my daughter just trotted
her through the events. She is going to another one
this Sunday 6/11. We love her and she is already a
very special part of our family.
Attached
some pics of the girls... Am really growing fond of the crew.
Just spent the last hour or so in the lower field with the new
arrivals watching them under the full moon. Sossz & Sues stick
together and seem to be enjoying the company of my neighbor's
tobiano gelding, he in turn seems to be showing an interest for
Sossz. Sues keeps Emma & Mia (who seem to be body & shadow) at a
distance. Emma
& Mia are a little high strung and have been cruising the
pasture steadily their hoof beats sound as one. E&M really enjoy
each other's company and seem inseparable. Emma wants to nurse a
grey mare but for some reason the grey wants none of it...
: ) All in all everyone seems to be doing pretty good
with Sossz markedly laid back compared to the others. They are
all beautiful in the moonlight
Larry
I rode Snickers today in the round pen and she
did great. Thanks a lot for your help!
Nick
Freckles
~Now owned by a young lady down by Austin, TX
Hi, Hope
all is well with you guys. How
was the International? We missed you at the
Futurity. Will you be at the Turkey
Circuit? Here are a couple of pictures
of Candra riding Freckles. She is doing very
well and is fat and hairy as you can see.
Today is Candra’s first walk/trot show here
in Austin on her trainer’s pony. Hopefully,
she can ride Freckles in the next one.
Have a good one and see you soon,
Jennifer
He is doing great the most
loveable horse I have ever been around!!!!! and
yes I have rode him he picks up on everything
very well now that it has got so hot him and I
spend more time playing in the sprinkler you
were definitely right
about loving water he thrives on it Thank
you again for him we matched up perfectly.
Hi,
Roundtop is doing well. She has
pretty much turned into a pasture horse, I
have not worked with her at all after having
my baby in
January!!! She is really amazing
with Rylee (my baby) pretty much every
evening I take Rylee to see her and Splash
our other horse, and Rylee will take her
hand and rub down Roundtops face and just oh
and awe at her its
really neat and Roundtop just stands there
and lets her even pull her hair!!! I
love it!!! She is very loved.
Take care
Warrior~Now owned by an 8 year old girl
in Montague, TX!
We got home with Warrior safe and sound. He is in
the corral tonight visiting with our other horses
across the fence. Its a good thing his name is
Warrior because he still has to come out and meet my
dad's horse Sonny. He is fun and easy to ride. My
mom even got on him. She usually doesn't get on new
horses. Thank you very much. Hanna

Dear
he behaves. Nothing seems to
get him anxious or upset. She can take
him anywhere. We are so lucky to have
him. Emily has been doing a little
reining patterns
with him and I tell her to learn from
him. He is just such a great horse. To
us he is priceless!!!!! Thanks again for
all your help in finding us the
best horse. We adore him.
Hi
About 6-8 weeks ago I bought a 12 yr bay named Ray Jey (I think).
Now his name is Bucket. Ha. He is awesome and takes good care of my
little boy when he is being ponied by my dad on his bay horse. There is
nothing better than seeing Grandpa and Grandson riding together and talking
nonstop. In fact, they've decided to become Dallas horse cops. Hehehe.
Thanks again for your help in matching us with Bucket. I hope y'all are
doing well!
ready
to learn something new! We took him out to a local roping event just
to let him get around other horses etc, and my trainer ended up
healing off of him and won first and second!! What a diamond in the
rough we found in him, 
Hi
Just
wanted to send you a couple of pictures of me and Dual paying around in
the pasture. He has been such a blast to have! Everyone at the barn
loves him, he has such a sweet, laid back personality. We've been
working on barrels, and he loves to run and be challenged.
Dual
is doing very well! My farrier loves him, I took him for a saddle
fitting and everyone there fell in love with him. He has the sweetest,
laid back disposition. He comes right up to me in the pasture and has
been great around other horses. My three year old goes to the barn with
me every day and Dual is so gentle around him, he walks very carefully
when Wade is holding the end of the lead rope with me.
Hey
I just wanted to send you some pictures of Brumby and Okie.
They
are both doing really well. We got to take them camping for 4 days in October (
it was freezing cold up in central WI ), but we had an awesome time. Brumby was
pretty much perfect the whole time. Okie was nervous at first and jumped around
a little, but by the 2nd day he was so relaxed. I had 4 days of just touching
and messing
with
him. A friend a mine was riding him for a while for me because I've been busy
with my baby, so I hadn't totally bonded like I wanted to with him. Now that
I've been able to get out and ride and massage him he is a different horse. The
massaging really changed him. He knows I'm not going to hurt him. It just so
cool to see how much he has changed since we got him and how much he trusts me
now. He is a keeper! My son Jimmy plans on doing little britches rodeo this
summer with Brumby and some little fun shows coming up soon. We will send some
pictures. Talk to you soon!
Hi
Melody
just arrived sage and sound, I'm working today so I can't see her untill
tomorrow. I'll send you another photo of Boogie and the boys for your
site taken with my camera (along with an update)
doing
great. He's been with a hunter/jumper trainer since we brought him home in
September, and is learning how to be an English horse. He's even popping over
some little jumps! Abby had a great first ride on him yesterday (I'm attaching
a picture), and we will be taking him to our barn this week. Just wanted to say
thanks for all you did to make a little girls dream come true!
Just
ride
like Amanda. I would be happy if
I could just sit like Amanda!
As
you know, ReinDance arrived just
fine. I mentioned that he had a
rolling fit, he must have rolled
over 20 times! But each time he
shook off, ran around and threw
himself down again. When I put
the halter on, he was quiet and
calm! My only
concern is that I left around 3
PM and he still had not pooped.
I assume that all is well, as
no one has phoned me. 
Just wanted to let you know we are really enjoying
Jeffrey. He's such a sweetheart. He gets along with everybody, and best
of all, he seems happy no matter what we're doing. Lisa and I have been
able to ride together for the first time since she was in high school.
It's so great!

"Blue" is
doing great. We gathered cattle all week and he acted like a pro; great trail
riding in Palo Duro and a sweetheart in the barn and pasture. We enjoyed you
girls and your facilities. I will be recommending y'all to others. 
Hey,
back so i've been searching for a saddle since i got him. 
Hi
Marcus.
I took her for a ride; Marcus was good as gold!! Quinn was here
for a week; she is three and full of energy; we however had the
best time. We played with Marcus and backed cookies, lots and
lots of cookies; I think it will take me at least a week to get
my kitchen back "dough" free. : ) My daughter and family live in
Santa Cruz, so this was a real treat to get her for the week. My
son in law took pictures of Quinn and I riding and when he sends
them to me I will forward one to you.
he is trusting me and I can't be any happier. It was an awesome
ride; on the road, on some trails and he was spectacular.
Hi
I
figured you were busy, and thank you for the information! I did
order the one bit that you emailed me and am hoping to get it
today. I have attached a couple of pictures of Marcus with my
husband and myself. He is so beautiful! I'm hoping to get my
work done for the day and spend time with him; it makes my day!

at their first
horse show. We've
had him a year now. He has the BEST manners and is
super sweet. We are so happy with him. You couldn't
offer us enough for him. Lauren LOVES him.
Attached
some pics of the girls... Am really growing fond of the crew.
Just spent the last hour or so in the lower field with the new
arrivals watching them under the full moon. Sossz & Sues stick
together and seem to be enjoying the company of my neighbor's
tobiano gelding, he in turn seems to be showing an interest for
Sossz. Sues keeps Emma & Mia (who seem to be body & shadow)
at a
distance. Emma
& Mia are a little high strung and have been cruising the
pasture steadily their hoof beats sound as one. E&M really enjoy
each other's company and seem inseparable. Emma wants to nurse a
grey mare but for some reason the grey wants none of it...
: ) All in all everyone seems to be doing pretty good
with Sossz markedly laid back compared to the others. They are
all beautiful in the moonlight
