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.
