“Your hoofprints are etched in my heart forever” Stallions GPHD Info Contact For Paragon For Paragon came to me after I visited him in Germany and absolutely loved him.  He  had unfortunately been in a situation where the people his owner had entrusted him  to did not understand him and he was refusing out in competitions.  I was able to understand him well and had the pleasure of competing with him successfully in both dressage and show jumping.  I will remember him fondly and he has a very special place in my heart.  Capone I Capone and I became good friends.  I worked with him for over a year at a critical  stage in his life and had the pleasure of competing with him in the $25,000 Save on  Foods Grand Prix and the $30,000 Twin Oaks Derby.   I have many fond memories  of him in and out of competition and particularly one session where we jumped a  1.70m oxer that was 2.00m wide.  What power!. Woodstock Magic This horse had a tremendous sense of humour.  He used to love sneaking up behind  me and quickly taking my cap off and flinging it far away.  He was extremely athletic  and would quite often put his hind end 2 to 3 feet over the 4'3" fence.  He was bred  by Sunsprite Warmbloods in Temecula CA where they have a breeding program that is  at par with those in Europe.    Lindo This horse was a very powerful jumper that had started stopping before we got him.   We worked with him and he started enjoying his work once again.   My wife did her  first 1.40m jumps with him and won several classes and championships.  A special  horse. Kaleb Kaleb is an absolutely beautiful horse that has lovely movement and a smooth jump.   He was bred in California by Campbellot Farms who breed some fantastic horses and  they price them extremely low.  They sell going, trained, athletic horses that are 6  years old for prices others sell their unbroke 3 year olds. Cassanova Z Nova came to me after he would not jump at home or at shows.  After a month of  working with him I took him to a show and he did well.  I had him jumping 1.20m  courses at home prior to passing him on to his owner's daughter to ride again.  He has amazing power and can use his hind end very well.  He is a friendly horse.  Cantour Athleticisim to the nth degree.  My friend Cantour had been out of commission for  several years since they had been unable to identify the source of his unsoundness.   I was able to rehabilitate him after a very careful and methodical program.  He is extremely athletic and has a very active brain.   I will never forget the feeling  of jumping a horse whose scope and agility is really unlimited.  You would soar over  the fences in a smooth arch.   The jump to your left is 1.30m.  Cotopaxi This horse took 3 years to get him so he would be safe to ride.  When I went to pick  him up at Monty Robert's place they strongly suggested I not even think about riding  him and use him for breeding purposes only.  He had been through several behavioral  specialists who all asked the owners to take him out of their stable.  I started his competition career and brought him to a place in his life where others can  now ride him. Rafaello After riding him in Europe, Raffaello came to me to work with since he had been  misunderstood and would not jump.  He took very careful and specialized training to  convince him to start jumping again and I enjoyed working with him.     After I passed him on I have not seen him showjumping.   Paschal Paschal kept impressing us day after day.  The first time we free jumped him I was  completely surprised since I originally thought he would knock every jump down.  He  did not touch a pole.  He won classes with me, Ingrid and Morgan.  Marilyn rode him  every day.  He loved working and particularly going to shows.  When he was in the  cross ties and saw the trailer moving his ears would perk up and he would drag you  into the trailer.  At shows he was happy, focussed and ready to perform.  We will miss his antics - tossing feed buckets, ripping blankets, his faces.   A good friend to many
