Our crew at the moment:

Axel – 6Yr old Paint Gelding

Axel

Axel now has his own site: http://axel.imsolidstate.com. Axel is no longer with us, he badly hurt his left hind. I am deeply saddened by the loss of Axel.

Dottie – 13Yr old Overo Paint Mare

Dottie was shown for her first 5 years in halter, trail, and equitation. She hasn’t done much for a while but be a training horse. A while back we did some team sorting with her, proving that Dottie can do pretty much anything. See more of Dottie at: http://suecityclue.imsolidstate.com.

Shady – 4Yr old Sabino Paint Mare

Shady has had a rough couple years, but she is turning out to be a great mare. In 2009 she severely injured her right hind, and had to have surgery at Littleton’s Large Animal Clinic. She was in a cast for months,  recovering  in a special pen that my wife and I built for her. It took quite a bit of work and patience from both of us to get her back to where she could be ridden again.

Shady is soft and willing, and nice to ride and be around. She is still growing, so she will be a tall mare.
