Brood mares and foals are not the only horses we keep in Illinois. We keep horses to trail ride and show as amateurs, as well. They have helped to bring some new owners to the breed. There aren't alot of Rocky Mountain Horses in Illinois, so often these are people's first "in person" exposure to the breed. We get questions from people who drive past and see them in the fields. They admire, what to them are, unusually colored horses and ask "What color is that?" and " What kind of horses are those?" We get emails and phone calls from people who want to see what this breed is about and come by just to see them under saddle and in the pastures. When we trail ride, our's may be the only gaited mountain horses other riders have seen. People are often surprised to see that not only can they "keep up" with quarter horses, but that we would like to gait more than they would like to trot. Visitors, to our farm, are impressed when even the youngest foals come to the fence for petting and attention and everyone is delighted when the horses "talk " to them as they approach. Ginger especially loves children and is very careful with them around. No holiday family dinner at our house is complete without a trip outside for the nieces and nephews to pet their friends. This year, we are looking forward to getting our grandchildren up on the horses with us. (Look out leadline competition, they are really cute!)

Elle is a beautiful, sweet yearling. Gorgeous with a puppy dog attitude. Leads, loads, hauls well, baths, clips, feet have been trimmed. She has seen alot and adapted well to it all. You can't keep them all and she is our stallion's half sister. She is the offspring of 2 International Grand Champions and Lady was in foal with her when she won the 2006 Sam Tuttle. Buy her and take her back to the winner's circle. |
