"Shy" is a new addition to the farm, she is a
quarter horse mare who is one of the babies out of Donny's old mare
"Greens Jamica Miss" (Doc Bar bloodlines) and "Mr. Zippo
Win". She will make a fine horse for the
kids to show. She was brought down from Strader Quarter Horses in Grove
City, Ohio. If things go well, she may be bred to "Potentially
Famous". |

Here is a picture of an evening preparing for "Riding
Therapy". One evening per week throughout the summer, and
ending with a show at the county fair in September. Handicap people
come down to the fairgrounds weekly for therapy exercises on horse back
while riding. Pictured from front to back; "Charlie" the
official mascot (handicapped goat) of riding therapy this year,
"Shy", and "Red". Sierra and Deana "Horsin'
Around" as well! |

The mare on the left is "Red". She is bred
to "Potentially
Famous", and should foal in April 2008. She has a 2 year old
gelding out of "Shaker Bar" on our farm now. |

"Red" driving a buggy, which was bought from Amish
friends of ours, and was used in our wedding back in 1997, the only
difference was the buggy was initially used with a horse that Tara grew up
with named "Rusty", he was 33+ years old when he could not fight
cancer anymore. Tara was asked to teach Red to drive the buggy for a
friends wedding, and she did very well learning a new "trick". |

Practice, Practice, Practice! Sierra riding Red in
2006, preparing for shows. |
| The 2007 Riding Therapy program finished up for the year at
the 2007 Morgan Co. Fair with a demonstration of the exercises and challenges
the riders overcome in a fun way during the summer. Fair is great
for the riders, as they get a lot of attention from the spectators. It is
their time to shine!! |
