Domino |
| Domino was a former saddle-bronc bucking horse on the rodeo circuit from ages 2 to 6 years, but he never bucked Debbie off. When he was purchased, Debbie was told the dent in his forehead was a result of physical abuse. Domino is very wise and has profound lessons for humans! He’s now 23 years of age. |

Lacey |
| Debbie always wanted a paint mare to breed and she got that with Lacey. Lacey is a Colorado native, born on a large ranch. When she was purchased in February, 2001, she was 1.5 years of age, and very fat. The rancher swore she was not pregnant, just fat. But, low and behold, on Memorial Day, 2001, she foaled Stormy. Lacey is 9 years old and a great riding horse. |

Stormy |
| She was named "Summer Storm" or "Stormy" because she was birthed during a horrific hail and rain storm! As soon as the weather changed and began to rain, her mother began labor pains and Stormy was born, Memorial Day, 2001. We observed the entire birth process. As a foal Stormy loved to sit on Debbie’s lap! She can't now! Stormy has separation anxiety when she's away from her mother. |

Billy |
| Billy was purchased from a miniature horse and pony rescue in Colorado. He was taken from his mother at 2 months old, and we purchased him at 10 months. He'll be 5 in December. Our daughter-in-law found him on the internet, and it was love at first site! Billy loves doing learning activities with humans! He has recently learned to pull a cart! He’s quite good, and very fast. Billy has severe anxiety issues, and we have to work through the anxiety when he is first hitched to the cart. After a few minutes, he does quite well. |

Bobby |
| Bobby was also purchased from a miniature horse and pony rescue. In fact, when we were going to get Billy, we were told the two could not be separated, so we purchased them both! Bobby was trampled by larger horses when he was around 4 months old. We got him at 9 months old, and this year he is turning 5! Bobby pulls a cart quite well, and is used in children’s fairs, proudly providing rides for the kids. He seems to be made for this and really enjoys it. |
