Now Showing

   Welcome to the show page. We have been fortunate to own some wonderful horses the last few years. On this page you will find information and links on horses that we have shown, or that are currently in the show ring, that we either own, or that are sired by one of our stallions.
     We started out with a gelding that didn't win much, but taught us more than anyone will ever know.   I had the fortune to meet a wonderful woman named Karen Craighead, of Craighead Paint Horses, early on in my show career. She was kind enough to be honest with me about my program and my horses, and with her help and guidance we have moved into the world of competitive horse showing.
     The first thing she taught me was to set reasonable goals. So I set the first goal of getting my stallion, Bearly a Diamond to his Superior Halter status. I not only achieved that goal , but we surpassed it. Earning 77 open halter points and putting him on the Honor Roll. By myself, against all odds at the age of 3.
     We also were fortunate enough, to find a wonderful mare named Impressive Shannon. She was the 2nd horse that we showed to a Superior Halter. Not only did we show her to her open, but my son Matthew achieved his very first Youth Superior Halter title with this special mare. It was with this mare that we went to the Pinto World show for the first time. Both of us receiving top 5 honors each time we entered with her.
     The next goal was to show one of my home, bred and raised, babies to a Superior. We achieved this goal with Impressively Soxy. She not only received her open , but her youth as well. As well as performance points in longeline, when I decided to try the class one day.
     Our next goal. To show our very first home bred foal that is by a Superior Halter Stallion and out of one of our Superior Halter mares. That goal will begin this year, as we have our very first baby that meets these specifications. Her name is Diamonds for Belle and we are VERY excited about her.
     So that is our story. We hope to have many more to add to this page and hope you will come back and check for updates.
