Donna Phillips and K'mere won their high point English ACTS this year. Thanks to Kayla Fayerweather for helping them through the last two shows. (I just didn't have it in me ).
This photo was taken at the last show.
He's a BIG BOY!
(I thought that was his tongue sticking out, but it the tail light on the truck. Funny!)

Donna & K'mere are at the 2021 Sept. ACTS Show. Showmanship went well! Thank you, Kayla Fayerweather!

Haven't posted for a looong time.
He's basically had winter off... Just living the life at Nick and Donna Phillips.
Donna rode him both English and Western ACTS at the Arab show May 21,22.
It went GREAT!
I'm extremely proud of both Donna and Kmeer.
They're learning each other.

Thank you to Sydni Peterson and Kat Fishback for making him into an honest, happy, confident horse with no holes.
He also has a gentle heart and calm mind... And those two women developed and enhanced that.
I couldn't have ever asked for more.

And....he's HUGE!!!!
I'll try to keep this more updated.

Donna Phillips please send me some pix that Nick got of you showing.

Very behind! Top 10's both dressage & Under Saddle! Heads turning, offers made. But, he's not for sale.
Nationals was way more than any of us had ever dreamed. It's over now, and Kmeer has gone to his new home with Nick and Donna Phillips.
We all owe more than we can articulate to both Kat Fishback and Sydni Peterson.

Here we are. Gorgeous weather, lovely people, packed house! Masks all around.
K'mere had had a great day.
And Nick had fun too!
Walks, grass, stares, compliments, pats & smooches, and so much more.
K'mere cares not about anything, as long as you're there. Where you go, he goes.

Got here at 4:30. K'meer is too coo for the L.
Just as settled in and laid back as can be.
We're barn Q, 22-29. Far far away.

K'mere is sleeping over at Nick and Donna's tonight in Tooele so they can get an early start in the morning. I'll be driving my car but driving along with Nick and K'mere in the rig.

This horse is a good traveler. he really doesn't care where he is or how he gets there. Just one of the hundred and one things that make him unique and wonderful to be around.

He's just not really a city boy, but can dress up and go to the Ritz when it's required!

He'll be staying at his new forever home at Nick and Donna's upon his return from Nationals.
They have a beautiful place with several horsey buddies. They do a lot of trail riding. I couldn't be happier for him!

That being said, I owe them a big thank you for giving him the home that he deserves.

Heartfelt thanks to Shelby Hughes for allowing me to own this, one of the most wonderful horses of my entire lifetime.

I also owe an immense debt of gratitude to Kat Fishback. She took him, loved him silly, started him under saddle, brought him along gently, and trained and showed him to championships at his first shows, including Scottsdale this past February.
She taught him confidence and unconditional trust. For that I will be forever grateful.

My heart belongs to Sydni Peterson. She took him on with pure love and devotion to get him to Sport Horse Nationals this fall as a junior horse. Her kindness towards him and her work ethic and training skills are unsurpassed.

It matters not to me how he does in the competitive arena. He's a happy horse and that's the most I could ever ask for for my very last horse.

It's been such a wonderful journey. I thank you all!

Leaving for Sport Horse Nationals this Sunday, the 20th. (It goes west, even years, east, odd years.)
This day 2018, we were already set up and ready to show. 14 stalls then, only 5 this time.

Masks packed, ready to follow the rules.
I'll keep you all updated on our show via FB, and here on K'meres page, of course!

Here are our name tags I made for our stalls:
Little, Ghost, K'mere, Thor, Babylon.
If you're there, or going, we're gonna be in barn Q this year. Far, far away.
No "Elite Stalls" this year!

Another reason I love Sydni.
A gal after my own heart.
Trained AND broke.
That's him on the right, looking like a bay foo-foo within his tail bag on.
If you've known me long, you'll remember the "sardine wagon" I used to stuff five horses in.
My horses were always broke. THEN trained.
