This is one BIG filly!! Totally a Good Bet AKA “Ida Mae”. She just turned a year old on March 11th. First time in the show pen and she kept her wits!! Next show in 2 weeks!!

I’d like to congratulate my Uncle Gerry and my Aunt Dionne on their recent acquisition of Might Rain “Rain”. Rain made the move to Oklahoma where she is going to start a new chapter of her life getting to grow up and be a horse. Though Rain has left Arizona she is with family and will be given an absolutely amazing life. Garret and I are beyond excited to watch Rain continue to grow.

04/02/2021

We would like to thank Owen Performance Horses, LLC. and more specifically Erica Owen for helping to coordinate the sale of Sweet WhiskeyKing “Kingsdun”. Looking forward to seeing Kingsdun continue to grow and be his best in his new home. Xquisitely Zipped “Wind” also found her new home where she will be a great trail horse for her new owner. Congratulations to both new owners on their purchase. Stay tuned to new arrivals and more news.

2020 was a rough year of ups and downs, finishing 2020 of Arizona Paint Horse Club Paint-O-Rama was a lot of fun, it was most definitely a roller coaster. We are beyond proud of Might Rain and her performance. Might Rain showed heart in her performance and left every bit of 2020 behind her. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control many believe Rain did not place as she should have a few times, while others placed higher than they should have.
