This is Jake aka Jo Jake. He is now known as Ace to his new family. He is a true competitor who was competed in eventing up to Training level and in the jumper ring through the 3'6" divisions.

This horse is currently for sale, please inquire.

This is DCSH Dolly Did It, aka Dolly. She is a 2003 APHA/PhBA registered dark palomino mare. A wonderful girl with a superb brain and a true all-around athlete. She is now enjoying a charmed life as a fox hunter for an adult rider. Congratulations Vickie!

"By the way, I am taking Dolly this weekend to introduce her to the foxhunt environment. I took her off to another ranch last weekend and she was FABULOUS. We galloped with the group, away from the group, and stayed behind while the group left us. I let her really rip and then asked very lightly and she just came right back to me. I ride her in a very mild snaffle. No fuss at all. We also went down a steep bank and across a scary stream---took a couple of tries but Dolly Did It! Likewise, she didn’t care to cross a couple of long skinny bridges over the stream. I led her across back and forth a few times and then rode her across with no problem. She is very brave for such a baby girl. I am discovering so many little things you taught her to do—like rate her speed with just my seat. She is soooo light and sensitive to every cue. Today we did side-passes—I didn’t even know how to do that! And she has the cutest jump! My trainer is very impressed with her—heck, everybody is. I am having a great time."
