I was raised in Kentucky where these horses come from, but started raising and breeding them after retirement. Easiest riding horse in the world !!! And I love to trail ride. We have our International show in Lexington, KY at the Ky horse park in September. I don't ride western, but have shown in the western class.
The avatar shown is our stallion, Supernatural, he has no red gene and clear eyes. The horse I am riding is his dam. She is the only horse in our association, which is chocolate with white mane and tail, and with both blue eyes.
Working with horses is time intensive with much of the work being done without a lot of help. Check out Top Ten Timesavers in this month's Stable Management (the link will open in a new window)!
