Porsche

Porsche is a big quarter horse mare with a great calm trail disposition. She can babysit a young or novice rider on the trail or take an extreme rider over anything. She is just turning 5 yrs old and has been on thousands of mountainous trail rides. She will also jump over a 2.6 fence and completed a cross country jumping course on her first attempt. I haven’t found anything she doesn’t excel at including cow work and beginning reining. got to love her.

Dakota

Pictured above is “Dakota” and he is a great trail horse. He is reg. breeding stock Paint. He is great on trail because there are no obstacles he can’t do. He will sit and slide down an almost vertical hill, he will climb on rocks, go over bridges, jump over down tree’s or just about anything you might encounter on the trail. We are going to compete at extreme cowboy events however he has never seen an indoor arena or large crowds. wish us luck.

Kizzy

This informal shot is of my horse, Kizzy (age 31) warming up for a drive down our country roads here in Maine. In the past we have competed in competitive trail rides, trail classes, stock seat, hunt seat and even a few fun events like barrels, team penning and poles. Kiz has been on Platinum Performance for many years and does well. We don’t do the long rides/drives anymore due to my arthritis, but still “hangout” and when I get a new easy access cart, we will resume our driving.

Perty-the-magnificent

My horse, Perty, is a 10 year old Spotted Saddle Horse. I’ve had her two years and started her on Platinum Performance about a year ago. She doesn’t have any arthritis or joint issues, so I am using it preventatively. She is such a wonderful horse and I want to be able to trail ride here in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina for many years to come. Thank you.
