Far left we have our AQHA mare, She Made It Sweet followed by her
2004 filly Sweet Talkin Senorita, and this years 2007 foal with no name :-) Far right we have our APHA mare One Impulsive Cookie next to
her 2005 foal EDBD Impulse.
These are the foals Mark and I have raised to date!
I hope to campaign "Sugar" at the larger shows and take in some NSBA classes in 2008. I'm also waiting for APHA to add performance halter so we can go win that class! She's so cool because it looks like I'm riding a halter horse! And she's pretty! Link to Photos and Video.
"Cookie" was originally purchased for her bloodlines and to become a broodmare, which we did and she has a 2005 gelding by Fleet Machine. After the sale of my show horse "Spot" I really wanted a "Fun" horse. My criteria for this "Fun" horse was that it had to be pretty, did not have to go to the show ring, and there would be no pressure to ever sell it.
I looked for weeks and then Mark said "Why don't you break Cookie out and use her?"
That's what I did. I had no intentions of ever showing her but she just kept training up. We have now placed top 5 in several futurities and have our Superior in Amateur Western Pleasure!

"EDBD" is sired by 5x APHA World Champion, Fleet Machine and out of One Impulsive Cookie who is sired by AQHA World Champion, Impulsions. He is a 2005 gelding. Mid May 2007 I started ground driving and we have quickly made our way to riding in the out door. He is the QUIETEST horse I have ever been around! I am amazed every day by how laid back he is. I hope to show him as a 3 year old at top APHA shows.
"Johnny"
COMING SOON!
"Johnny" otherwise known as Did U Paint Me is a 2005 gelding by Paint Me Zippo. Yes he is related to Who Painted Me :-) on Winners Page.
"Kitty" is the very first horse I ever broke out to ride. I was a freshman at Mankato State when I bought her. I had just sold my very first horse KC and was feeling a little bad that I now had no horse in my life. With summer break approaching I decided Kitty would be my summer project. I had the best experiences with her because I learned so much and she was a good student. She stayed with me all through college until I decided it was time to sell her. Three years later I had the opportunity to buy her back and I did!
"Georgia" is the very first horse Mark and I ever bought together! I fell in love with her the very first time I saw her and she has set the standard in so many ways. She has had years of riding of all sorts. You can really do anything with her and you'll look good doing it because she's so pretty! She had two foals while we owned her and both of them can be seen on this page, Sweet Talkin Senorita & Shes Made Her Decision also referred to as Bubbles and Arbys.
"Bubbles" was the first foal Mark and I ever bred and raised. Her sire Promote This Chip, has produced multiple AQHA Congress Champions, superior pleasure horses and futurity champions. He is a son of the famous Zips Chocolate Chip. She Made It Sweet is by Sweet Talkin Chip who is an Equistat leading sire, Multiple World & Congress Champion producer and has multiple NSBA high point earners.
Congratulations to Sheree Koehler and Michael Peters with Marsh Creek Farms on your purchase of Bubbles!

"Spot" or Fleetojetic is by 5 Time World Champion Fleet Machine! Spot is the very first horse I picked out on my own, broke out, and finished for western pleasure. We had 2 great years together. Placing top 2 in most of our futurity shows and top 5's in our NSBA and World show showings.
Congratulations to Nicola and Adam McFarland on your purchase of Spot!
Here is a video of us at the MPHA futurity.
"Lilly" is coming along VERY nice in training. She is so willing to learn and has a very nice working attitude. Her sire is Frozen Assets who is a multiple World Champion western horse. Lilly will make a great show horse because she wants to go slow and she's very level headed. I'm lucky to have a horse with looks, mind and movement that I love! She will not be pushed in training but I would love to sneak in some two year old futurities.
Congratulations Tina Kirchbaum of Washington on your purchase of Lilly!!
