".............so why don't you get a quarter horse?" Graham asked me, innocently enough, one day in 1992..... "what's a quarter horse?" I remember me asking, also innocently enough! The same people have asked me the same thing, again, innocently enough, only to visit, just out of curiosity and then be completely addicted and one is never enough! My first horse was a yearling gelding, TB x New Forest whom my parents thought would be great to grow up with a 10 year old little girl. Wrong! He was naughty and soon learned he could get away from me and it was a common sight to see him galloping up the main road with me running behind. He sadly broke his leg aged 6, just when we were getting it together and was put down after a week of vets messing about with him. I had Frisbee soon after - an unbroken 4 year old great grandson of Never Say Die. I had to have him and I had him for 26 years until he died a couple of years ago aged 30. He was our Muffin's constant companion since 1998. Frisbee did just about everything a horse could do, show jumping, cross country, dressage, endurance, pony racing but the one thing he never did was do western and neither did I at the time. We bred a couple of part-bred quarter horses with a Welsh Cob we had at the time then went on to buy Arabis Indiana Jones as a colt foal. He sired a few nice foals but we planned to sell or geld him when we bought our current stallion, Every Mother Child aka Muffin. Further trips to Washington, Texas and Oklahoma and we have the mares we have today. Muffin's foals have been beyond our wildest dreams. I had been searching for a second stallion for a couple of years and we planned to go out to Reno this Autumn to a high profile sale. Then I found the perfect horse and it turned out he belonged to Rebecca Algar, a lovely lady who I first chatted to many years ago and we had ended up buying Mynx who was by her champion stallion Mucho Bueno Lynx. She moved to Texas many years ago and what a small world it is! A lovely genuine lady who adores her horses and has been very successful in the States in her chosen discipline of cutting. ZZ Hoss came home a few weeks ago and is proving to be a million times better than I ever dreamed he would be. A trained cutting horse who also rides English and novices and kids ride him. The friends we have made because of quarter horses has been the best part of breeding. Like minded people with the same goals and visions as us, riding quality horses who not only look great but have top bloodlines which are winning many championships in the showring, English and Western and also riding out in all types of terrain. Truly as versatile as we are breeding for.
