The Family Horses

Lets start with:

1. Josie 36 yrs old Arabian. Had her for over 25 years. Bought for my daughter when my daughter was about 13 yrs old. 

2. Frog 28 yrs old AQHA, inherited from a friend that passed to let her live her life out here until she crosses to be with her owner

3. Rio 3 yr old, breed unknown as he was bought as an orphan there were many many many more. I got him from friends that were keeping him here and I fell in love.

4. Newt 3 yrs old. APHA, performance bred, dunskin overo,  got him from my best friend and I have his full brother Spartan too.

5. Spartan 2 year old APHA performance bred dunskin overo and full brother to Newt. Both are ultra sweet. I've had both since they were weanlings.

6. Diamond aka Sissy: 7 yrs old, born here, sold to a friend of mine  and recently bought her back. Finishing up her training and she is the full sister to RT All Tricked Out aka Trick. Diamond should have been registered APHA but breeder is a unscrupulous breeder and businessman. So happy to have Sis home. She is solely a one rider horse which will be me and only me. She's just that way. 

7. Faith 12ish yrs old, maybe younger, grade tobiano paint mare, outstanding trail horse that anyone can ride but is one of top dogs in the herd and mareish except when she's under saddle. Was given to me, previous owner could afford her care any longer. 

8. Rebel has to be about 12 yrs old now, AQHA, 16 hands. I got him when he was 18 months old  trained him myself but he is a pasture pet now. He is so powerful it intimidates me but I'd never part with him ever. 

9. Cat 10 yrs old. Registered Jockey Club, off the track, was a rescue and skin n bones when she was rescued. My bff got her, I put her in a state of Dibs if it didn't work out and I've had her about 6 years now. I have ridden her but she has trust issues and it took a year or more to learn how to be a regular horse and now trusts us and we can walk up and pet her and she comes to us now but it was a long time coming. She will never leave our home. She has friends in the herd and is happy and healthy.  I love her. 

10. Willow: was adopted from a rescue by us, long tedious story on her but it ended up in court and the settled out of court with me because I'd done nothing wrong and my attorney proved it. Yes I do hire my attorney for my horses if need be. I still have her and always will.

11. Ice: 4 yrs old, is Willows foal, was born here and still lives here and always will. Product of escaped stallion. She's sweet and a pasture pet. 

12. Pera: 19 yrs old, hubby's horse that I bought for him about 4 years ago. She is APHA and definitely HIS mare. She loves him. It took her months to settle in as previous owners hsd her for 12 years and she didn't handle the change well but we finally had a break through and she is a fabulous trail horse. Happy now and he just loves her. 

13. Loki coming yearling, was born here, should be registered APHA, overo, Champagne, breeder is being a bitch because I refuse to sell him to her. He is spitting image of his sire and she won't give me paperwork to register him because she wanted him. She sold me his batshit crazy dam without full disclosure on a lot of things including the 3 yr old dam being in foal. I had to help deliver him or would have lost both. Sold the batshit crazy mare. Story continues, however I'll stop here. Bad enough that I was threatened.  

14. Trick 15 yrs old. I've had him since he was 4 yrs old. Brother to Diamond. He is my main riding horse. Have spent this year 2020 saving him from a snake bite. He is better now but he is still up from the pasture. 

15. Tonka coming 2 yr old, gave to my BFF, is a paint, grade, gelding. He is half brother to Loki. Both sired by Hotshot Ashwood. Tonka is part percheron on mom's side.

16. Belle 23 yrs old. Solid APHA breeding stock. I've had her many many yrs. Over 10 yrs. She's retired and lives happily with the her, her daughter who is my blue roan mare and the last foal she had. (Rescue)

17. Royal 7 yrs old APHA breeding stock blue roan mare. Was born here. Finishing up her training as well. She's a tank and my super sweet girl. I love her so much. 

18. Kai is I think 7 or 8 yrs old now. Breeder is POS and never registered him just like Diamond. Same breeder. Kai is gray overo and one of our trail riding horses. He was a rescue, bag of bones and wasn't sure he'd like but he grew into a tank of a horse. He has his best buddies in the herd and loves to play.(Rescue)

19. Lacey APHA and I've had her so long I'd have to look and see her foaling date but pretty sure she's about 17 years old. She is gray overo and a pasture ornament. Had a beautiful foal for me once. The filly was sold to a veterinarian for her breeding program. Lacey will always be here.

20. Pistol 8 yrs old. APHA bay overo. Finishing his training as well. Had him since he was a weanling from my bff.

21. Peaches also from my bff, APHA overo, without looking I'd say 9 yrs old. Thick mare, spoiled mare. Mostly just lives her princess life here. Has been ridden but is not finished. She'll always be here just like everyone else. 

22. River, rescue, approximately 12 to 15 yrs old, been passed around a lot because he is a black frame overo. Has been beaten, cowboyed. Etc. Those days are over. He immediately attached to me. I haven't ridden him yet. I've had him 2 years. Always wanted a horse like him. Grade as far as anyone knows, passed around so much thst original history is unknown. Sweet as the day is long. We will ride one of these days.
