Hi Andrea,
Just wanted to send you a quick update on Starlight and Jantha. They are doing
great together! Jantha rode him 4 days this week and loves him. Once we get a nice
sunny day, I will take a picture of the two of them to forward.
Jantha has never ridden by herself unless she was in a lesson. Her lesson was
Monday-the other three rides were by herself. She told me after today's ride, "her
dream came true". Starlight has settled in very well to his new surroundings. He has
a buddy at turn-out and really craves all the attention from Jantha. When she comes
to the barn he comes running to her.
Thanks Again, Starlight is a true gem!

Hi Andrea,
I have a new name for Skippy. His show name will be Dun
& Bradstreet and his barn name will be Bradley.
He is a real sweetheart, I just love him. I have ridden him
twice now and he is lazy but fun to work with.
I am taking him to a little show this weekend just to hack
around and check out the atmosphere.
Take care
Karla

Hi Andrea,
Bradley is doing great. He was quite good at the show. I just
hacked him around. He was a bit looky at first as it was windy
and the flags were blowing but he soon settled in.
He was acting like he had been to several shows and knew the
routine. I rode him in a western saddle today for grins and he
did fine.

Hi Andrea,
I bought a horse, Achilles, from you in November of last year.
I've been curious about his past lately, and I was wondering if
you might happen to still have the contact information (or any
information) of the person you bought him from.
He's been doing great, and i'm hoping to do some recognized
events with him this year!
Thanks,
Lindsey

Dear Andrea,
I hope this letter finds you well! Jantha has spent the last year working with Starlight
and the two are really a lovely team! They are getting ready to show, infact their first
show is April 5th! One of our Junior Young Riders has been helping Jantha and rides
him on Jantha's 'off day' every week. He is showing Intro & Green as Grass and is
training Training Level and started on Level 1. He is a wonderful little pony!
Best Wishes,
Leslie Laemmer

Hello, Andrea. This is Summer Simpson. I bought a little pinto pony from you two years ago in March. I happened across
your website today and saw his picture. I thought you might like to know how he is doing. I know you didn't have him all that
long, but you may remember him. I brought my then 2 year-old daughter, Savannah, with me to try him and another sale
pony you had. We really liked Charon and bought him that day. Savannah couldn't say Charon very well and we changed
it to Bubba. It actually suits him quite well.
Bubba has been a dream pony for us. He is very well-mannered, very attentive and sweet with my daughter, and easy as
pie to handle. Savannah and Bubba did their first horse show together this past weekend. They showed leadline and his
show name is Benjamin Buford Blue (as in Forrest Gump's best friend Bubba whose full name is Benjamin Buford Blue).
They had a blast and he was an angel. Savannah can ride him on a lungeline at the walk and trot. She has also cantered
him with me running beside her and even popped over a couple of crossrails for fun. He has taken all of this in stride and
seems to know how to handle himself with her.
I want to tell you thank you for the opportunity to have such a nice pony. It's a real treasure to have him especially as my
daughter's first pony. I have a son now, too. We hope he'll enjoy Bubba as much as she has when it's his turn.
Thank you for Bubba.
Sincerely,Summer Simpson
Legacy Horse FarmWaxhaw, NC
I'll send a few photos to you of Savannah and Bubba from the horse show. I'd be happy to recommend you to anyone
looking for a good horse or pony based on our experience.

I Loved this so much and it is so true!! Rusty is doing well. We have a house now on 18
acres and he has a HUGE pasture with a little mini pony as his buddy. We just took them
out today and groomed and went for a short ride in the meadow behind the pasture.
Here is a picture of he and Emily. They are very much in love with each other!! Hope you
are well and we keep up with you by looking at your website at least once a week.
Rusty's eye healed and scarred in so the eye was saved, the scar small and his vision is
fine. He will follow Emily anywhere and we could not have found a better pony for her
than him!! Thanks again and please share these things with me anytime!!!

Hi Andrea-
So good to see you today! I've attached some pictures of Cooper
I am very happy with cooper, i think he was a great choice for me and we match eachother
well. Im still co-owning him with brielle who likes to do a lot of natural horsemanship with
him and is not particulary interested in showing/eventing. which is fine with me! aside from
the jumping/ bucking issues (well, after being trapped in a 12x12 stall for a couple months
with a injured suspensory ligament AND being a 5 y/o, cooper discovered he had an
additude) hes been coming along quite well. Him having issues just makes the reward that
much sweeter, if you know what i mean. Some people would call me crazy after seeing him
going nuts with his injury (it happened last september when he slipped in a extremely
muddy pasture) but i would buy him all over again!
I'm showing cooper under "July" since that is his registered off the track throughbred
name (we looked up his tatoo, and i thought that was pretty cool) so thats him if you see
our names at a show. hope to see you around!
Best Wishes,
Sarah Wieland

Dear Andrea,
Well, Jantha and Starlight have successfully gone to their first two shows of the season! At their first show they
won third and fourth riding Intro and Green as Grass. For the second show, Jantha decided to go to her first
recognized show (Lamplight) and together they won two first places and their scores were 63.5 and 66.5!
Starlight was perfectly behaved-cool as a cucumber-the entire weekend. He was awesome!
Now that their confidence is up, Jantha has decided to try another recognized show, so they will be going to
Wisconsin the end of June. She is considering showing Training Level, so we'll have to wait and see how that
goes. In training they are doing really well and Starlight continues to train at First Level and Training Level. His
lateral work is coming along and his canter work has come a long way!
Enjoy the pics-these are from their first show (April in Chicago is still snowy, so this show was inside)! I'll send
some more pics from Lamplight, too.
Best Wishes,
Leslie and Jantha 05-26-2009

Hi Andrea,
I just wanted to send you a note to tell you how much I love Midas! I bought him
just 3 weeks ago and he is doing great. I have taken him to lessons at my
trainers barn and have been riding him here at home too. I also just got back
from the clinic at your farm with Lientjie Schüler, Midas was so good. I was so
proud of him. He handled everything like a horse that had done this a thousand
times. He was just what I was looking for in a horse. He is so much fun to ride
and is so flashy. I am really looking forward to showing him!
Thanks again,

Hi Andrea!
I just wanted you to know how much we are loving Smokey! He has been a
great horse so far and is so calm and easy to work with. This past
weekend he went to a clinic and behaved perfectly, even though there were a
lot of new things to see. Everyone thought he was so cute and had
such nice manners. He has started working on his jumping a little and
seems to really enjoy it so far. I am so excited to have such a talented
and sensible horse who I know is going to be able to go with me anywhere!
I have always been a nervous rider, and already I have been able to
relax totally and feel safe and confident with him. He is going to be
able to help me become a better rider and together we can try lots of new
things. Thanks for the excellent training and care that you gave him.
He is well-loved!!!

Thanks, he is such a special guy, we had a blast today on a trail ride, he is coming along so
well, and just goes anywhere and does anything. We went into the pond one day last week,
that was fun, he is just a great horse. I am so grateful to have him.
I will keep you posted on his progress.
Thanks again.

We are going trail riding tomorrow, so I know that he will love that!
Thanks again for such a wonderful horse!

Hi Andrea,
Silver Bell is doing great, and we are having so much fun. I took him to Camden, where he
will be fox hunting this winter, and he was a star! We jumped a few small jumps and we
galloped and he was such a wonderful boy! I love him to pieces and he has adjusted very
well with the herd, he is so quiet and stays out of trouble, and that is the best thing to do.
Thanks again for everything.

Ripley is exactly the horse I was looking for! He's green, but sensible,
silly, but gentle and loves to be the center of attention. He's doing great
and I'm looking forward to taking him to some shows in the near future. I'll
let you know how he does. Thanks again, Andrea!

Hi Andrea –
We bought this pony from you about 2 ½ years ago for my two young
daughters. I thought you would like to see how she is doing. My older
daughter rides her (we now have another pony for my other daughter)
and they are quite a pair. They competed at their first horse trial last
weekend at Carolina Horse Park (not far from you!) and did very well.
They placed 5th out of about 70 riders in their division. We absolutely
adore this pony and are so pleased with the training you put into her.
She loves to event!!! You can add her to your list of successful
ponies! Thanks and hope to see you soon.

Hi Andrea - just an update - I am still very happy with Skipper. He just has such a good attitude about
everything. He has had a bad cough, and has been in the stall during all the rain, but hopefully he is
recovering and will be back in top form soon. The vet thinks it is a virus, and he does seem to be getting
better. I really like him a lot. Thanks for finding him for me. Barb S. 11-12-09

Hi Andrea,
Everything is great with Simon. I have him at the barn I was moving him to, which is closer to my house so I've gotten to ride more. I
haven't gotten to take pictures because the times I've been riding there has been no one down at the arena to take them and the time
there was I didn't have my camera. I already talked to my husband about coming down with me this weekend and getting a few. Sorry it
is taking me so long. He is doing really good and I'm working on the basic dressage patterns I know and we are just starting to canter
jumping lines. We are still just doing mostly cross rails, but I threw in a 2' panel the other day and he did great. In fact he actually got
more excited to do more. We are about to go on a trail ride next week on a nice rock dust trail that runs by a river. So, we are doing a
little of everything. I will be in touch soon.
