1997 - the internet was fairly new to us in work and I had been searching for a nicely bred, quality stallion for a while when I found a ranch in Washington raising and training just the type we were looking for.
Video Clip of Muffin as a yearling I contacted Virginia asking what she had available and that we were replacing our current stallion the following year as we wanted cutting bloodlines from proven stock. She said she had a nice buckskin yearling with Cutter Bill, Doc O Lena and Peppy San Badger on his papers. She sent me photos and I said "can you put him in the back field until next year and we'll come and see him" she said she would turn him out in 6,000 acres for the year and hang onto him for us and start him the following spring. She did and he was proving to be a "very level headed colt" with a "superb disposition".
The following year, 1998, we booked a trip to Seattle to see him and also were looking for a mare also with cutting/ranch/reining bloodlines. We arrived lunchtime and Virginia immediately poured us some beers. It was an hour before she finally took us to see him in the big barn with all the other horses. She said after that we'd travelled thousands of miles and thought we might not like him. We loved him!! He was sweet, gentle and apart from trying to buck the trainer off in the first minute, he was amazing. I rode him for quite a while and said we'd have him. We spent the next few days with Virginia and Steve on their ranch, visiting mares and all their stallions they had at the time.
