My name is Cindy. I presently own 4 mares, Sadie a breeding stock paint mare is 3, Targa a registered palomino paint mare is 4, Babe a grade strawberry roan paint is 8 and the queen of the bunch is 18 year old Shilo who is a buckskin. Shilo and I are members of a Sheriffs posse here in Minnesota, and we recently competed in a clinic. It was a mock crowd control we did and trail/ obstacle competition. No trophys or ribbons but we sure had fun. And I was so proud of her, the only thing she got on edge about was a fire hose-----big snake you know.LOL. Targa and Sadie came to us as "freebies". Their owners had no use for them anymore and wanted to see them go to a good home. Targa is awesome. We have already saddled her and worked her on lunge line and put weight on her with no problems. Sadie on the other hand has come with a couple of bad habits that I need to break her of. I have a low tolerance for biting and kicking towards people. But she will be fine with time and work. Babe is my big girl. She's not much more than 15.1 hands but built like a tank. Am hoping to use her for my posse work this coming year. She is the kind that 'you ask and she gives 100%'. She's a no nonsence type of girl who likes her grooming and she likes to work, but unlike my others, she is not much for hugs and petting.
