Lena was chosen for our breeding program because of her excellent bloodlines (see below!!) and her chrome, but we were pleasantly surprised with her ABILITY under saddle as well - she is all business and is always ready to work a cow.  She has a great personality and is easy to handle on the ground, but has plenty of fire under saddle.  Shelly has exhibited her at 3 IRHA shows & placed well in Ranch Cutting & Working Cow Horse.  Bred to Doc Freckles for May 2010.

 
What a difference a few years makes!

Lena is as good as ever, but Shelly finally figured out how to ride her!

Lena can fence cattle as hard as any horse I have seen 
(that was not being shown in NCRHA or Breed 
sanctioned WCH events!).  She is a BLAST 
to ride & loves to turn cattle at the fence.  
She has a HUGE burst of speed and can really 
get in front of the cow & turn them.
