Currently :

My Morgan Joydale Sparklerslas (Sparky) is now retired.  She has certainly earned it!  She is now busy teaching my son how to ride and care for a horse.

My Standardbred Dreamy Starlet (Dreamy) is my current competition mount.  She has a solid walk/trot and we are developing her canter.  2007 was a VERY successful first year out and about!  I am excited for 2008!
