 This is our resident 18 hand Percheron, Joe, that I bought in 2002 who knew nothing but driving. He now has done Training Level dressage with scores in the high 50's, Gymkanas where he won Champion his first time out, Jumping in schooling shows and at Stoneleigh Burnham, and is a wonderful trail horse. He's been in parades, shows and even at the Forest Park Zoo in Springfield, MA. Here I am riding him at Stoneleigh Burnham at his first Dressage show. Sorry guys, this guy is sold to Angela Ames and I doubt she would ever part with him! They also own MTS Sienna, born in 2001, she is trained my me and is currently ridden by her daughter, Alissa who is 9 years old! Good job Aliss! |
 During my 2004 summer camp I had some of the top trainers in the area do clinics for the riders. Here is Molly Kohler with Joe Delano of Sky High Farm in Shutesbury, MA on his QH stallion showing her the ropes. |
 Stephie Baer is well known for her achievements in Cross-Country as an Advanced Level International Event Rider and competitor at Bromont (Canada), Mexico, Rolex, and Burghley (England) as well as short listed for the 1998 US World Championship Team. She gave a GREAT cross-country clinic to all our riders who did a FANTASTIC job. From left to right is Zoe Elkin on Lizzie, Hannah-Kate Bressler-Jacques on Dan, and Molly Kohler on Liberty. Zoe, Hannah-Kate and Molly have all been riders of mine since 1998 and are all Pony Club members some of which made it to Nationals their first year of Pony Club in Quiz Rally! They are also successful showing everything from Hunter/Jumper to Cross-Country and Dressage!! You guys are the greatest!! |
 Sara Franks-Jones won 1st place at her first Combined Training show at Xenophon Farm in Montague, MA. Here I am giving Sara a few suggestions before going into the stadium portion of her test where she had a clear round. Her mount is Fancy Pantz a 6 y.o. registered QH whom Sara bought this spring and with some lessons and training has shaped her up pretty nicely! Congrats Sara! |
 My first horse Golden Guy, shown here at age 22 with me at age 15 at a Tanheath Hunter Pace in 1993. I've owned a few more horses since him but no horse can hold such a large piece of my heart as a first horse can. We did lots of trailriding together, shows, pony rides, driving, jumping, and just plain goofing around! He was the easiest horse I ever owned and the one I fell off the most at the same time! And even the last time I rode him I had to smile because he had tried to buck me off! Every kid should have a horse like him!! I was lucky enough! |  This is Teresa Stevens riding my TB mare Amber. I taught Amber to jump at 6 years old and now Teresa has been doing some Preliminary Cross Country jumps with her at Stoneleigh Burnham. Amber also is doing First Level Dressage with me and we plan on breeding her spring 2005 to Olivier a Dutch Warmblood from Imajica Farm in Williston VT. |
