Where it all began . . .
What is the horse experience? It started for me when I got my first horse. It did not begin on my first ride. It was learning to take care of him, the feeding, the grooming and making sure he was healthy and that he had a safe and secure place to be a horse. I developed a relationship and bonded quickly with my horse where we erased all fear between us.
​
I watched a lot of western movies but my favorite was and still is "GUNSMOKE." Quint [Burt Reynolds] rode this beautiful, well put together Appaloosa Horse and I knew then I wanted to buy, raise, train and ride the Appaloosa. No better breed to gain The Riding Experience, in my opinion.
​
It was early on in my young riding experience that I became one with my horse as I learned to ride and not until then. In the beginning I thought all I had to do was hop on the horse and hold on but that's not the case. Riding is not being restricted in your movement on the back of a horse and stiff in your hands. Soft hands on the reins and moving in rhythm with your horse is the start of a beautiful ride.
​
I want to share this experience with you, the men and women of the Armed Forces and immediate family as my way of giving back to you and thanking you for your service. There is no better way to relax and to gather your mind, body and soul than from the back of a horse, in my opinion.
