Yesterdays AMHA show at the Conder's farm was a lot of fun. Their beautiful covered barn and arena allowed the show to continue despite the afternoon Florida rains. Jim Danner wowwed everyone with his BBQ. Duane Conder and Gary Owen sounded like professional announcers and Shirlley Danner...

This is our Buckeroo son, Little Kings Crimson Buckeroo with his very amateur Mommy (me) showing him at the Area 3 Regional show in Perry. He won Sr. Stallion 32-34. I was so tickled when we won against trainers and their beautiful horses that I almost cried.

It's kind of ironic that Ruth and I were driving to Fort Myers today to visit our daughter in college, when we passed the Hauled Wright truck. I guess we should have followed to see Dirty Holly and Silverbelle in person. Enjoy them, they sound like two special little horses. Gary

IMO, in the world of pro sports winning cures all. If Vick plays well, in what is likely to be a limited role, and the Eagles have a good season all will be forgotten by the majority of the fans. If one really follows football, then you know that there are players currently playing in the...

Today's AMHR show was a lot of fun. There were some absolutely beautiful horses. Many needed to be shown one more time to qualify for Nationals. Others were shown by novice or inexperienced amateurs just getting their feet wet. These shows are so nice. The farm is very nice and the...

Gary and I just adopted two Boston Bull Terriers. Gary had one as a small boy and loved him. I began searching for one who was purebred but needed a home. I found these two on Craigslist. They are both supposedly purebred although the smaller spayed female could pass for a boston/pug mix and...

Jill: You will be in our thoughts. After all if you are not in fighting shape Gary will want to argue with me about all that political stuff. LOL Ruth

We are so excited about our upcoming AMHR (August 15th) and AMHA (August 22nd) shows. At a time when money is tight for so many of us and many people are gathering pennies to be able to go to Nationals or Worlds this can be the answer. The Conders have a beautiful facility which allows us to...

Please let Teresa know that depending on where she is going in Florida she is welcome to stop by our farm. There are also shows at the Conder Farm on the 15th and the 22nd just south of Ocala where we would love to have her. If they come to the shows just have them ask for Gary and I and we...

Marsha: Gary and I posted about this last fall when State Farm announced it was pulling out of Florida for homeowners. Our State Farm agent checked for us and not only did State Farm not cover the horse related issues but they sent us a 6 mo. cancellation notice. We ended up having to buy a...

Our son just started running in the last year or two. He has completed 2 or 3 regular 26+ marathons, the flying monkey all terrain marathon in Nashville and an all terrain ultra-marathon in Birmingham, AL this past spring. He loves rock climbing and also cycled for Vanderbilt's Cycling team...

Marty, Earlier this week we had some friends, both of whom have had World or National Champion horses, over to our farm. The first question they asked us was what we feed for a coat supplement, as our horses have nice shiny coats. We do not feed a coat supplement, only Strategy and beet pulp...

Ruth and I are really happy for you. Your friend has also been a great help to us, she loves to share her knowledge, and her horses. Hope to meet you in Ocala at the Orange Blossom show on August 15th. Gary

Marty: Princess said to tell your boy Nick that if her Mom ever quits this silly driving training stuff and just lets her do what she wants, she would love to meet Nick. By the way she thinks he looks just fine. Her mean ole' Mommy, Ruth

These are the sale prices that I wrote down in my program. I cannot guarantee their absolute accuracy as I was talking to other people. Sometimes the NS horses were purchased for their reserve or close to it as the auction continued. Ruth 1 - $150 2 - $150 3 - $300 4 - ? 5 - $375 5A...

I love our Alpine Manufacturing Cart. Their mini cart is really more appropriate for B size minis. It has great ride and we have pretty much baja'd through our back pasture with it with no ill results. Double Diamond sells them.

As I have been reading this post I have also been glancing at our mini schnauzer, Buddy. Our oldest daughter rescued him on the 4th of July 4 years ago. He was a mess, rotten teeth, sores, all kinds of hucklespurs and sand spurs in his fur. About 6mos.after she rescued him he dug under our...
