2012-05-18 EastWEst Morgans BJ goes through a process of what most would call "natural horsemanship" in the training of her horses. She and Max do all the training from the ground through saddling and trail training. Please note the horses being lead are four year olds and not been saddle trained. Plus look at the bits which are not in the mouth of the two lead horses being ridden. It leads to a second point. It is the training and not the mouth which guides a horse and lead them to be fine performance horses for personal use.

2012-04-12 Meet Yourself Coming and Going
- A few days ago it was time to take some photos of the new foals. So had the camera inside the cab of the tractor as I was cleaning stalls. I saw this image in the windshield and thought it might be interesting to see. It shows the rock road coming down to the aisle and the green grass outside. The four of the stalls and the run in at the far side of the barn. And the image of myself. I think a good title might be "Meeting yourself coming and going."

2010-04-22 Peaches Jellico Farms has been looking for several years to find a daughter of Jan Mabie Pace for breeding to a grandson of Jan Mabie Pace. Both Silvershoe Highlander and Silvershoe Sundance are grandsons. Color was not a factor, but the type and disposition were first considerations followed by gait capabilities in selecting a mare.
Mary Mels Peaches was purchased by Janis Bailey as a two year old based on my recommendation. We had not communicated for a couple of years and I saw the mare advertised on Dream Horse and was fortunate to be the first caller who came to agreement for the purchase of Peaches.
She will be bred this year to Sundance and Highlander the next year. This is classic line breeding of grandson to daughter.
