NEWS!!!
June 2008
After much debating, our young paint stallion, RDK Painted Cash, is now for sale as an experienced show gelding. 

RDK Allredebehindbars (Bea) "allrede" has a number of ribbons and PAC points under saddle at a couple of open shows.  She has every bit as much talent as her father.

We have 4 new fillies this year - two minimal sorrel/chestnut overo paints, one very loud sorrel tovero paint and one red quarter horse.  Check back later for pics.  With reports back from other mare owners, all the foals were fillies except for two colts and all the foals have white markings except for two.   Top that off with a successful delivery rate of 90% of mares bred and we can say the 2007 breeding season was AWESOME (unless of course you were hoping for a solid colt)!!

THIRD weekend in April 2008 (changed from first weekend)
Horsemanship clinic with Dave Elliott - VERY well known Custom Bit & spur maker from southern Alberta
He will be working with us to determine which bit works best for our horses and how our choice of bit affects our horsemanship. 
Rider spaces almost full, lots of room for spectators.  We encourage you to come for Friday - only a few people teach this information and it makes a HUGE difference when you understand it.
