Tambralyn Peterson Derek, Kaila (2yr old) Madison (5yr old) Miss Attitude was her name when I bought her, I didn't like the name at all and I was told I could change it. I gave it sometime to get to know her first before I would come up with a new name. It only took me a week to realize that the name fit her perfect. She was testy, ornery, and stubborn. In the field she would give me a look like, "No, I don't feel like riding today, you can go back home." It did make me laugh a couple times and it was then when I decided to keep the name and make it a little bit shorter and call her "Missy." I am a wife and a mom to two beautiful girls, a two year old and a 5 year old. Most of my time prior to Missy, I was either working or playing mom. I wanted something that I did for me, just me. It was then when I approached my husband, Derek, and asked him if I could buy a horse. He looked at me and laughed, he thought I was kidding. Then I gave him "the look," and he knew I was serious. Derek doesn't know much, or should I say NOTHING, about horses, but he is a very supportive husband and didn't blink an eye and said, "do it." I think that over time that my testy, ornery, and stubborn horse "Miss Attitude" has grown attached to me too, although I don't think she would admit it. There are days when I come out to the stable and walk into the field and call her name, her head picks up, she does a little neigh and trots over to me. I know that horses can't smile, but I know she was smiling, and asking me where have I been, and that I was late. Missy makes me laugh and takes a lot of my worries away from my everyday life; I am thrilled to enjoy this adventure with her.

The weather was great. The food was awesome and the company was fun! We walked along the Sand Creek and looped around by Emil-Lene's then headed back to the stable. We had 17 people on the ride; it looked like a parade, all we needed was the Kenlyn banner. A gourmet feast was awaiting our return to the gazebo where we compared our poker hands and shared stories of past riding excursions.

Spencer BruceWell I've pretty much riding horses before I could even walk. My mother used to put me on a horse and pony me around while riding hers. We usually rode down on the ranch she grew up on while my grandfather managed it for the state. When I was 3 my first solo ride was on a sorrel colt named Bar J who was just as old as I was but had the mind of a 20 yr old. I pretty much rode all the time since. Starting when I was around 7 instead of kicking back n enjoying video games during my summers off I was working on my grandfather's ranch, branding calves, looking after 800 head of yearling heifers, doctoring them, gathering and moving them to other pastures to conserve the grass. I didn't ride much in high school, sports and girlfriends had priority. I spent a year in college but wasn't feeling like I was going in the right direction so I joined the Air Force. I spent a couple of good years there far from home learning to grow up, be responsible, and take care of myself. When I got out I came home and while looking for a job my father asked me if I would help him ride some colts and he would pay me 20 a ride. Pretty soon I quit looking for a "normal job". We traveled in and out of state working with troubled horses and starting colts for people. He showed me the way of riding with a feel for the horse and to always be considerate of how I present myself to the horse, using the methods he learned from Ray Hunt and Buck Brannaman. I spent a year in Montana on a working cattle guest ranch, working cows and teaching guests how to work cattle as well as how to ride better. For the last year and a half I've been riding colts and troubled horses for people and ones that had troubles with trailer loading. I met Linda, who was recommended to me by my father, around the first part of June and am looking forward to working at her place with as many horses as I can and am looking forward to meeting everyone and riding with them!

Erica GroatI have loved horses since I was a child. They have inspired me, and kept me going through the hard times, and given me a passion for learning and working with them. I petted horses in petting zoos, or carriage horses walking down the street, and would exclaim delightedly every time the family car drove by a field with even a single horse in it. When I was 11, my parents bought me my first horses, a pair of young Arabian mares. They were 3 and 4 years old, with 90 days of training on them, and then they had been out in a pasture until we bought them. I spend the next seven years learning from my girls as they learned from me; experiencing everything about horse care that I'd always read and dreamed about.When I graduated high school, I had developed a desire to learn more about my beloved, four-legged friends. I enrolled in the local Lamar Community College in the Equine Business Management program. I spent the next two years learning the financial planning, veterinary, and business basics about what it takes to run a business with horses. My mares came to school with me and learned reining, western pleasure, and dressage principles, and turned into wonderful riding horses. After the bulk of my classes were completed, I traveled to New Hampshire to perform my internship, necessary for earning my degree. I spent a whole summer at a Dressage farm there, learning more in depth what I had only skimmed the surface of in my college courses. I returned home and graduated from LCC with my degree! After graduation I searched for work in the horse industry, and stumbled upon Kenlyn. I spent a summer living in the barn and foaling out the mares, and learning a ton about breeding and training from the great Sarah Jarvis, and Linda Fisher. At the end of that summer, I decided to move on to experience new and different aspects of the horse industry. About two years and lots of learning experiences later, I have returned to Kenlyn, happy to be back at the best farm I've experienced yet! I am here to train horses, and people, myself included. I know some of you remember me; I look forward to renewing old friendships and making new ones with all you folks I've yet to meet. You're welcome to email or facebook me at wolfite@gmail.com or call me at 719-688-9645. See you at the barn!!!  |
