My love for ponies began at a very early age. I was
taught to ride and trained throughout my junior years by “pony guru”
Bill Schaub. We were very successful with several ponies throughout
the 80’s including: Mapleshade Crystal Clear, Private Collection (dam
of pony stallion “Blue Who”), Cloudy Crystal, Rising Star,
Llandfalle’s Reflection (better known as “Buttons and Bows”), and
Chardonnay. We successfully continued the tradition in the junior
hunter ring. One of our biggest accomplishments was our horse “Lyrik.”
She was champion several times (with both my sister and I) at the
Pennsylvania National Horse Show, National Horse Show (NY), and the
Devon Horse Show. She retired many trophies and was considered one of
the nicest horses of her time.

After my junior years, I took a break from riding
to attend college in California. I then went on to work for several
years in the entertainment industry, always with ponies in the back of
my mind.
In the fall of 2003, I took a trip to Middleburg,
Virginia and there I met my husband. Using my many years of
experience, I have devoted the last couple of years to finding the
right ponies to bring up for the Pony Hunter Division. They all
possess the qualities and characteristics to be top “AA” pony hunters.
