L-R: Around 1989 showing Sultan (Hidden Talent) along with buddy Jill Ramsey Fogarty at the Atlanta Classic. FYI, we both still own our ponies to this day!


Then came Kaiser Fritz (around 1990) who was my jumper.  The most amazing horse ever.  Click here to read about him.  He died in 2003.

Along came the 1997 Disney Movie "Flash" where I rode as a riding double for the star, Lucas Black.  I shaved my head for the part!  That's me pictured on the back cover of the movie.  Anytime the horse was doing anything for the most part, that was me!

CBS Krystal Kat+ was my self trained Half Arabian mare that I still own.  In 1998 alone we were Region 12 Champion in Hunter Pleasure AAOTR, Region 12 Reserve Champion Green Working Hunter, US Nationals Top 10 in Louisville, KY in Hunter Pleasure AAOTR (that was AWESOME!)She is now retired living the good life at Rivermont.
