Thank you for stopping by and visiting our web site.
We live in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan. All of our lives we
have enjoyed horses. In the last 15 plus years we have had the pleasure of
raising, training and showing the Tennessee Walking Horse. We also raise
Pomeranian's and have two Dobermans that pretty much think they own the
farm. We have three children that were raised trail riding and showing
horses.
How we got started in the Walking Horse Industry? My wife and I had
purchased a half Walker, half Saddlebred gelding and when we broke him and
started riding he was doing something we had never experienced before, "The
Running Walk". With a little research and some help from some Walking Horse
friends we knew this was the breed for us. That was more than 15 years ago.
We now own and
enjoy 25 Tennessee Walkers which includes a stallion. We
are members of TWHBEA, WHAM, WWHA, NSSHA, SSHBEA, RHA and the KMHA.
The Walking Horse is a fairly new breed to Upper Michigan so we have been
working hard to promote the breed in this area through open houses, trail
rides, horse shows, 4-H programs and letting people try the "glide ride" on
our horses. We have shown in speed events, Western Pleasure and English with
our horses and have done well against other breeds. We welcome all visitors
to experience our smooth and versatile breed.
The Walking Horse in Upper Michigan is growing with great "strides" thanks
to their great disposition, trainability and versatility. Stop in anytime
and see our horses and take a ride.
