THE HORSE'S:  

Trueblue Sahara Rose

Our beautiful buckskin creme American Quarter Horse filly is pictured below.  Thank you to Wendy/Maggie/Erin for making such a lovely filly.  Sahara's mother is a dun by the name of Miss Sprat Brat and her pedigree can be seen at   http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/miss+sprat+brat   Her father is Erin's Pocos True Blue out of Wendy's True Blue McCue.    

To no suprise Sahara got a BLUE (1st place) in 4H production and went onto the State finals in Oct 2008, finishing 4th of 20 horses. 

Sahara and Tiff Summer 2009.  This is Tiffany's baby.

Rich's Mystical Misty:

This is Snowdrifts Mista KingsGold.  She is a beautiful blue roan born on May 6, 2004.  This Foundation Drum mare is registered with the American Drum Horse Association.  Her mother, Snowdrifts Princess Dale was bred to the registered Clydesdale, "TerraGold's King Footprint", also black and white.  King had won at the Pa Farm Show numerous times and  possessed other championships during his show career.  Sadly the Thoms lost King in January of 2004.   We couldn't have asked for a nicer girl and are very proud to have her as part of our forever family.   Misty was shown as a weanling in the Pa 4-H locals and won 1st place, progressing to Harrisburg and acquiring 2nd in State competition.  Congratulations Amanda S. on your wins!  Misty is being trained by Charlene who is getting her ready for 2010 farm show.  Charlene will be presenting her for us in halter and under rider.

    Pretty Tawney Girl:

This is "Frost Sir James Emily" aka "Tawney".  She is such a wonderful horse.  She stands 16 hands and is dark bay.  She is a registered Clydesdale and also foundation Drum.  Tawney is sired by Hope Farm Sir James, who is out of Doura Enterprise and Shining Meadows Orphan Annie (who goes back to the Ogdensburg lineage).  Her dam is Mimi D'ormstown , who is out of Melbourne Red Swan and Civic Trudy D'ormstown (which again goes back to the Doura lineage). 

An example of what Tawney has produced is pictured below.  This beautiful Premuim Drum tri-colored filly, Feather Dancer, was born here on June 20, 2006.              

Tawney has a very full mane and tail and even grows a beard in the winter.  A sign of excellent quality breeding.

THE MAN:  BIG NED  

Anyone from beginner to experienced rider loves riding and driving Big Ned.  Ned has been used to teach our previous trainer Sue Moss how to drive and our daughter-in-law Vicki to ride.  He certainly did very well for both of them. 

Ned is a handsome, big-hearted blonde Belgian gelding that originally was a rescue from New Holland (at maybe) the age of 3 months old (he was actually taken directly from his mother at the sale).  He just loves to be in a show ring especially with his cowboy hat on.  You can see Ned at some local horse shows and the Pa Farm Show.  He is one of the greatest horses we have ever had the pleasure to work with.  Rich, you did a wonderful job with training him and I am very proud of you and Ned.   

The photo above is our Certified/School Educated Farrier Eric Frick putting new shoes on Big Ned.  Eric said most horses are no where near like Big Ned, being so good that is.  If you are interested in an excellent knowledgeable school educated farrier, Eric can be reached at 610-217-4369, tell him Ned sent you.

Vicki, our daughter-in-law, won Reserve Champion the fall 2006 with Big Ned at a local riding club.  Congratulations Vicki!  Your dedication to learning how to ride has given you quite an accomplishment!      

Congratulations Tyson on your win at the 2009 and 2010 Pa Farm Show with Big Ned.  You came out winning in Western Pleasure with the boy!  You are the best!!  Thank you so much!
