Our goal is to raise Morgans that are not just pretty to look at, but fun to ride. We've had lots of adventures with our Morgans and other horses. These are just some of the places we've been with horses. .

Hunting

On Memorial Day weekend, 2006, we took a trip to Canyon de Chelly in northeastern Arizona. This is a wonderful piece of red-rock canyon country, located in the heart of the Navajo Reservation.

We took Primo and Lucy, two of our Morgan horses, and we joined several other riders for two days of riding in these steep-walled, sandy-floored canyons.

Valle Vidal, in northern New Mexico, is one of the premier horse-riding places in the country. This huge area, once part of a Spanish land grant and later a ranch, is now a part of the Carson National Forest, and features two camping areas set up for horses. There is a group of women riders who gathers there almost every August for a week in the cool pines and meadows.

Steve has long enjoyed hunting and packing on his horses. This photo was made somewhere in western New Mexico, with Steve on the fine Quarterhorse mare Star, and leading Sasquatch.
In 2004, we took the trip of a lifetime - a 7-day horse-back riding tour through some of the Carpathian mountains of Romania. The trip was arranged by a friend of ours living in Romania for a year, and he accompanied us on the way. Each day we rode several hours from one guesthouse to another, while our luggage followed by car. We were mounted on two of the native Hutzul ponies, and a beautiful half-Lippizaner mare. Right - the three of us on our horses on day one. Steve is on the gray half-Lipp mare. Below - one of our gues houses, and some of the host family in the town of Rachitele.
