This is Adam and Slo Go Secret (aka: Cheyenne). When we got Cheyenne, she would circle when you went to mount her, would buck when you got on her and was a psycho under saddle for the first 30 or more minutes, then she would quiet some. She was apprehensive about EVERYTHING! Adam worked on the ground with her for 60 days and we decided to try a little halter showing. Both horse and rider entered their first show in July 2006. They won first in their Open Halter Class (mares 3 and over stock/hunter),  got second in the Championship Halter Class(winners of all halter classes) and Reserve Halter Champion over all their first time out! 

Update May 20,2008: Adam and Cheyenne have changed show circuits and are currently showing Halter and under saddle at Thunderhorse Farms Show Circuit. In three shows they have won Grand Champion Halter twice and a Reserve Champion once (this puts them in first for Mares, Halter). They are also third in Novice Pleasure, Second in Novice Equitation, and fourth in Walk/Trot 18 and under so far in season points.

Update November 2,2008: The points are in for end of year! Even though they missed two shows (one double points) Adam and Slo Go Secret did well! 

Champion in Mares Halter, 5th in Model Hunter, 5th Open Showmanship, 4th in Novice Pleasure, 2nd Novice Equitation, and 4th 18 and Under

Adam taught Cheyenne how to lope this weekend! She has a beautiful lope and a prancy little trot that calls attention in the ring.

Boy have they come a long way! I couldn't be a prouder Momma!

Update Oct.2009: You aren't going to believe this but Adam and Cheye are cleaning up in working western classes and they are running speed events! Who would have thought that this halter mare would be so versatile!!

Update April 2010: Took Cheyenne to the Inter County Saddle Club open horse show where she again Championed in Halter. She also did well in her Western classes (there was no division of working western or western pleasure so her ribboning is awesome!)

This is my trail horse Doc. He is a great trail horse. Goes through anything. He has a HUGE stride and plenty of power for those mountain trails and he does have experience there. He is fun to ride! He is APHA registered Doc's Revenge is a gelding (although the papers say Stallion, he is not). He's 10.  We have ventured across water, over bridges, up and down hills, had dogs and farm animals come running out at us, had cars and pick up trucks pass, 4 wheelers and even 18 wheelers. He is an awesome trail horse and will go through anything. Great ground manners. Last trail horse challenge we ground tied him for two hours and he never moved from our side. He won that Trail Challenge too! I am not really trail riding any more and have decided I want to go back to showing so Doc is for sale. $2500firm.

 Bought at auction to save her from a "not so nice" horse trader, we  researched her past, and found that she has been trained for the track, but never been run. She is the first to come to you in the field and drop her head for scratches. She has been ridden in the past but not in a long time. A tune up would be in order if you plan to ride her but we are selling her as a broodmare/pasture pal only.  Distinctive (Secretariat's father) is on her papers!  Hands down she is the quickest horse I have. She is the dam of Distinctive By Design seen on his own page. Her babies are long legged, conformationally correct and colorful!
