Comments = Hi Laurie, Just an update on Dots, Tyler loves her and they are a
perfect fit, thank you so much for your patience and guidance with Tyler. He has
named her Mustang Sally. Everyday he gets her out, gives her treats, brushes her
and rides her. Somedays it's even bareback! Tyler and Dad are practicing for
first lead line barrel race this weekend! Again thank you!

Hi Laurie, Two years ago today I bought this pony. Your name for him was Pepsi , my name for him Cadillac. He is still the most awesome guy in the world. I had the
opportunity to put him with Rick Baer for two months. Mystyn rode him for Rick and did a great job. Only making him better and taking us to the next level of riding. He and I are best friends.
We run gymkhana in Norco. In our division, we are in third place and have taken high point twice in the last three months. He amazes me every day and the smile is still on my face from the first day
I got him. I can put him in the trailer unload and ride anywhere. Thank you again for introducing us. Susan.

Hello Laurie:

Thank you so much for giving us Minnie. Thank you for lowering her price. She’s doing great, she has adopted really good and is doing really good with Daphne. Brittney has come and given her some classes and has also ridden her and she’s really happy with her spirit and character.

I have attached some pictures for you to see them.

May the Lord Bless you richly for your kindness, and for making a little girl sooooooo happy. By the way she changed her name to Ginger. She said she looked more like a ginger.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts

Date: Thu, 31 May 2007 20:13:05 -0700

Hi Laurie-
I wanted to give you an update on Crystal. She fits right in at the barn and really loves her roommate Paris. My 5 year old daughter is in love with her and is able to get her to trot on the lunge line. My 11 year old son is the one who has taken over. He has trained her to jump over small jumps and we took them to a schooling show where he won all his classes. He had only jumped her once before the show and had her up against all these really big horses which she beat. People were so mad at us because she was the smallest and the greenest, but I think she loves showing and was calm and collected throughout. She actually seemed to be posing while waiting for her turn. We are going to another show (the kids have given her a show name of Rainbow Dash after one of the ponies in My Little Pony) this weekend and I’ll take some pictures for you. Anyway, I think my son is going to continue to help train Crystal and she is the reason he started back riding again.
Thanks- Renee Moore

Hi Laurie!
Just a little update on the pony formerly known as
"Willie". His rail work is going very well and he and
Breanna are walking and trotting and have even done
some over poles work! He responds to his new name (I
assume he likes it) and is VERY smart. Hugs 'N'
Kisses and Breanna are interested in entering the show
ring walk trot soon. Thanks for our great pony! Candi

Hi Laurie,

ALec and I love Peanut. We pony-cart her all over and she has proven to be a great investment. Do you know of a stallion- small horse or larger pony to breed to peanut? One that is larger than 11hds. and has an excellent temperament for most anything.

Happy trails,

Andrea and Alec

Just a note to say thanks for selling Dale to us. He is a really neat little pony. Airyan leads him everywhere and Dale just goes. It's quite a sight. He likes to ride, but at this time he would rather lead him over the trail course and up and down the road. Dale never pulls or puts his head down, he is just right for our 2 yr old.
Thanks again,

Laurie,

I wanted to send you a quick note to wish you and your family a Happy Holidays, we’ve been so crazy, busy and with the rain, I didn’t get a chance to call you. R2 and Peyton are starting to really bond great!! We’ve gone on several trail rides, all three of us girls (finally). R2 has been such a HUGH confidence builder for Peyton. I was amazed at how we could tell she was not sure of a few trail hazards yet, she never missed a beat, she walked so cautiously yet, listened to every word Peyton said and after the third day (trail rides were all day, all kinds of terrain, water crossing, and we saw camels, a water buffalo, a regular buffalo, ostrich etc. – not your every day trail rides!!!) I had to let you know what an absolutely amazing job you guys did - matching Peyton and R2. R2 was so well behaved we wondered if exotic animals were part of her training, you do awesome work!!! I couldn’t have found a better pony.

Thank you again for making my little girls Christmas dreams come true,

XOXO

cousin Cleve. Dally did wonderful. The first day he was the last and so
the tracktor came in behind him. Did not even concern him. Everyone at
the rodeo was impressed with him. We could have sold 10 of him all day
long. We have another rodeo in 2 weeks then he will start him barrell
and pole training with Shawns sister. After that there are several
people wanting to take on finishing him out for roping. We will keep you
posted on his progress. Thank you again.

Hi Laurie!

I wanted to drop you a note to thank you for finding such a perfect match
for Savannah. Since I last talked to you so much has happened. First of
all, we have moved barns, which has changed his temperament to the pony he was when we picked him up. Savannah has been cantering all around the new property and can now jump a 2 foot course.

Our trainer wants her to take it easy though as he has not really jumped in the past and she wants him to be in top condition first. They have really bonded and he resects and responds to her every move. We did give him a new show name, Otto Matic. You can check out her points on www.horseshowtime.com <http://www.horseshowtime.com/> .

She has received two champion ribbons for her division and is in first place at one of the shows she rides in (ECHO) and third at the other (Sweetwater). We even took a two hour trail ride on Mothers Day through deep water and he was wonderful! He has also bonded well with my horse and they are great together. I will send you a photo update when I get my last show photos, so you can see them together. I have recommended you to many of the people we see at the shows, as they ALWAYS come up and tell us how cute he is. Thanks again, we will definitely keep you in mind should we find a need for a new pony!


Sincerely,

Katherine and Savannah Magallon

The little pony has been great from the word "go"........we named her
"Dolly", and she responded immediately!

She and our Arab bonded at the very beginning and they cry for each other
when I have to take one or other to the pasture or barn........it is so
sweet.
Dolly comes running when you call her, and her flaxen mane and tail
blowing
in the wind make a wonderful picture.

We love her to bits......... our little grandkids from San Clemente came
down the first day to see her and rode her that day......this is a picture
of
the 2nd ride........the following weekend.
Will send another one alongside this one.

Thank you for selling us Dolly..........I'll recommend you any time!
Best wishes

"Oaky" and "Eagle"

Hello Barbara,
I will send you several pictures that Laurie asked me to forward. sorry I am not so good at sending several at a time. Yes you are right about Laurie and her staff. We are having so much fun with these guys. Eagle has turned out to be my little knight in shinning armor. He is so good to my youngest daughter Janelle. She has fallen off several times and he just stops and waits for her either to get up or stop crying or what ever, he also has had her on his back when another horse was acting up and he just stood like a little gentalman and took care of Janelle....if you can't tell I have fallen in love with him.(oh so has Janelle.). My older daughter has Oaky and she kept his name. He is very sweet and full of him self at times. He is teaching her how to ride and that is perfect. He is the bay with eagle in this picture and I will send one of Caitlyn alone with him. These were the two that I sent to Laurie. For some reason she could not open the pictures or send them. So i will send two okay. Thanks so much. Are you the one who does her web site?...WOW it is so nice....Thanks again.Rhonda Silvas.

"Festus"

Hey Laurie, this is Festus/with Matt Sheriden, a 4th generation horse trainer in Tehachapi. He's helping me work with Festus on his turns/etc. I LOVE FESTUS, so much, he is just perfect for me. His ground manners are perfect and we are building a wonderful relationship. Everyone that see's him/wants him, but there ain't NO WAY, that I'll EVER sell that little guy. I thought Matt would laugh at me when I first took Festus to him, but he really likes him too. Says he's very sound and learns well and his disposition is great... I'm so happy that God sent me to you/Festus. How do you like the pics of Matt standing on Festus' back, pretty neat... Take care, Joan Leaman

Hi Laurie,
Robbie, Angie and Shayla were here over the weekend. We got some cute pictures of everyone with the pony. He was out all day everyday. Wyatt didn't put him away last night until after 8:00pm! The worst part was getting them to take turns. It was fun though and very cute! Hope all is well.
