Intrepid Farms' Midnight Sonata

This beautiful Morgan mare named Intrepid Farms' Midnight Sonata is now in training with me. She is from Santa Ynez, CA and is available for purchase. Art Perry has done an incredible job with his Morgans and she is no exception! This little 3 yr old mare is a very intelligent and quick learner adapting to the Montana lifestyle quickly and learning the basics with out any resistance. She is a nice willing filly and will make someone an incredible show/trail horse. Good head ready to go any direction you want to take her. Stay tuned for updates on her training and please give a ring if interested. You won't be disappointed, get her today before someone else does!!!

Dog days of Summer

Whew, these hot dog days of summer are keeping me thinking of the snow, luckily the horses get me into the backcountry so I can still play in the snow at times! Love my office view (from horse back) and invite any of you who want to come enjoy some good ol Montana lifestyle to come on out and take a ride with me! Maybe we can see some elk, bears, moose or buffalo! This place is paradise and each day just gets better and better!

Looking forward to riding with Richard Winters in Choteau, MT on the 13th & 14th of Aug! A do not miss event on advancing horsemanship so get ahold of me and Ill get you all the info!

Keep it real and stay cool!

GVBCH Poker Ride 2011

Here are some photos from this years GVBCH Poker Ride at Bridger Bowl, Montana; as usual I had a great time and even won a few prizes this year! We had a great little group as the Pre-Ride Crew (to make sure the trail was free and clear before competitors rode) and the little colt, Diamond City Mike, that I was riding did excellent.

I have 60 days on this little guy and he was one of the best horses on the ride! We did lots of walking, jogging, trotting and cantering using loose reins and even asking for collection at times all the while we were in a group or we would hold back and ride solo, working on not being herd bound and having self-confidence! Big strides for this little guy and another notch under his belt. He will make someone a great partner some day! Thanks to Spalding-Laboratories for their support, without companies like them and all the other great sponsors that we had we could not make this event work!

See ya next year at Bridger Bowl

Hot weather makes me think of Skiing!!!

All this hot weather is making me think of the snow so thought I would post this picture that Tom Winter took of me while we were doing preliminary research work at Manitoba Mountain in Alaska. Great work Tom!
