Our Family Life.

Endurance rides:
Our family has competed in local endurance rides for many years. From the
famous Tevis Cup, to the Land Of the Neversweats 25 and 50 mile rides. The
Comstock 25 mile rides and the Blue Mountain rides in past decades. The
experiences have taught us so many more aspects of common sense
horsemanship. Truly the concept of “To finish is to win.”, sums up the ultimate
human horse relationship. Your goal as a successful endurance rider is to keep
your horse healthy and safe. The rider learns the horse’s limitations and the
horse will tell you when you, as a rider, have reached your own. It is nature at
it’s best. The horse was built for covering ground. That is their element. As a
team you see what can be accomplished when you give your horse their head,
and let them pick the safest route.
Horse Shows
Competing in National level competitions, amongst the best the area has to offer
is truly humbling. We have spent the hours in the arena making every aspect
perfect. Concentrating on fit and finish. Glossy coats, correct equipment and
clothing, and every move done with precision. We have competed in western
pleasure, english pleasure, huntseat, halter, trail classes and equitation. It is
exciting and nerve wracking all at the same time. It is been so gratifying for us
to raise a foal, train and prepare it and then take it to competitions.
Fun
We as a family, have always been able to have fun with our horses and ponies.
Going horse camping, seeing the kids go off as a group on a trail ride. The lesson
kids all dressed up in costume for the fair parade, riding proudly down main
street and getting a mounted horse group trophy. Playing games on horseback
with friends all trying to outdo each other. Heading out down a new trail enjoying
the beautiful mountains and being at peace with your horse. These are all the
reasons we enjoy our life with our horses.
