Michelle just returned from her third session with
Clay Harper. I must say this was the best two
weeks yet! Kali is pivoting, side passing an L,
backing through an L, crossing bridges and water,
going on trail rides, just to name of few of her recent
accomplishments! Please read her page to read her
story and get details on her progress.
There are so many things Michelle is learning; not
only great training methods, but also information on
the benefits of equine chiropractics and acupuncture
as well as a new and exciting equine supplement
that helps with stress, ulcers, weight loss, colic,
boosts immune systems, among other benefits.
Please contact Michelle for more information on this
product!
married me! I have been obsessed with horses my entire life, and in 2002
finally convinced Bryan to move me back to the country so I could once again
have horses in my back yard. We moved out of Colorado Springs and onto 50
acres about 30 minutes east of town. I slowly acquired more horses, and Bryan
and Zack have slowly grown to appreciate them! When I started volunteering
for Rocky Mountain Foal Rescue in 2002 I had no idea how much it would impact
my life! I had always wanted a draft horse, and when a load of PMU drafts and
draft crosses came in, I was hooked! We got our first PMU, a perch/paint cross
yearling filly that spring. We all fell in love with the draft personality, and I love
the full draft size, so our fate was sealed! I had always dreamed of owning a
horse business and in 2004 we decided to make that dream come true. It is a
long, hard road to start a horse business and I hope we can make it a success.
I know I want to raise and train horses and it has not been a difficult decision
to focus on draft horses and mules~ while we love all horses, there is just
something special about the big guys!
We plan to center the business around preserving America's work horse
heritage, and we hope to raise and train working horses. We plan to get many
pieces of horse-drawn equipment to use around the place.
You get no where if you do not dream, and I am dreaming big!
Since becoming involved with RMFR and the PMU industry I have come face to
face with the high number of horses needing homes. I plan to take in
otherwise unwanted equines and train them and find them good homes as
well.
on PMUs! Kit is a 4 year old black and white
perch/paint cross mare. She is my curious little kitten,
and will follow me anywhere! She has recently given
us Jake the mule, and will hopefully send some of her
attributes his way!!
Achilles, a HUGE, graying 3 year old registered
percheron PMU. Ace is my main man! He truly posses
the gentle giant nature, and is taking to driving
training like an old pro! He is a main attraction here,
standing at just over 18hh at three years old...
Thorin Oakenshield, Bryan's two year old black Clyde
PMU. Thor got his name from the Hobbit book~with
all of his belly, chin and leg feathers he reminded us of
a dwarf, and Thorin was one of the main characters in
the book. Thor had a rough start, but man was he a
diamond in the rough! He will look great pulling a cart
single one of these days!!
Kali is a four year old Clydesdale mare from a PMU
farm. She has come so far since she first arrived here,
she is proving to be an absolute pleasure to work
with and I feel truly blessed to have found her!!
Princess is our newest addition! She is a 4 year old
AQHA buckskin mare. She hasn't had much done with
her yet, but she has a very willing, curious attitude
and I think she will prove to be a wonderful trail
horse-and who knows, she just might carry Bryan or I
into the Ranch Horse Versatility world...
Spaniel are our two dogs. Yes, there is a size
difference, but don't tell Sierra she is the smaller
dog, she rules the roost!
We also have some barn cats and an aquarium
filled with fish, snails and a frog!
