Good day,

My name is Cinnabar. Kyle has owned me for 8 years. We have become the best of best friends. My most favorite
thing to do is RUN! I'm a good boy for beginners, but when I contest I fly. My favorite treats are carrots. Apples are
all right, but they are not my favorite. Kyle and I compete in timed events in the Great Lakes region. We hope to
win a championship very soon! Even though I love to run, I also have other events I'm good at. I'm great in
showmanship. Showmanship is where owner and horse complete a pattern on the ground only using a halter and
lead rope. I've placed well at the Indiana State Fair in Halter. I'm muscle and brains all in one package. I'm sure to
be careful around the children. I know I'm big and can easily scare them. I have great manners from all the time
and training Kyle has schooled me through. I hope you'll visit us soon at Taylor Turn.

Goodbye,

Cinny

horses and Kyle was looking for another lesson horse. So here I am! I just love my new

Hello,

It's nice to meet you. I'm Nic. Kyle bought me in July of 2004. She was in need of a lesson
horse and I was in need of a good home. I love to go trail riding. I'm safe for anyone to go
anywhere. I also enjoy a nice soft grooming. I'm tall, but I listen very well. My previous
owners did a very good job training me. That is one reason why Kyle purchased me. I
love treats and I like to find them in my buckets during dinner. I look forward to riding
with you soon.

Happy Trails,

Nic

Good day darling,

I am Pines Say La Vee, barn name Sadie. I am an appendix quarter horse which means I
am half quarter horse and half thoroughbred. I have been many exciting places and
have shown my skills to the judges. I love being the center of attention in the show ring!
I am use to placing well among my competition. I am laid back for the most part, but
have a lot of stamina due to the thoroughbred in me. I have found that I love to play tag
with the 4-hers on their fun show days. You should stop by and see me work- I’m a show
stopper!

Chow,
Sadie

Hiya,

Thanks for coming to see my page! You might have read that I am a pony, but I would
rather be called a small horse. The way my body is proportioned I look like a horse - I am
just a few inches too shy to be tall enough to be a real horse. I have very correct
conformation however and I excel in many events because of this. I have experience in
4-h, open shows, POA shows, and trail riding…. I love to do it all! I have lots of plans for
my future and maybe you’ll get to be a part of them.

Later,
Ariel

Hi there,

I’d like to thank you for checking out my website. This is an accumulation of my life experiences with horses and the
people who interact with them. I’d appreciate any ideas, tips, corrections, or suggestions that you might have to
help me out.

I am asked several questions about my age and skill level pertaining to my job and facility. I’ve told this story many
times and after some thought, decided I would add it to the website for those of you interested in such information. I
have been riding horses since I could sit up and have been taking riding lessons since I was three years old. At the
age of ten, I purchased my first horse with most of my own money in August 1996. I started showing 4h in 1997 and
showed until 2002. After graduating high school in 2002, I attended Ken McNabb’s Apprenticeship program for
horse training in Wyoming. I returned home with aspirations to start training and attend college. My searches for
both the facility to train at and college were unsuccessful for various reasons. It became evident that my own facility
would be the most beneficial to my equestrian career and necessary for me to train horses and people at. I had
planned on obtaining a business degree, however with tuition prices versus my father’s business degree and my
grandfather owning his own small business - the degree became unnecessary for me. My college tuition was the
down payment for my facility in 2003. I opened up for business in April of 2004. I’ve been acquiring knowledge,
teaching horses and students, and been living the dream ever since.

One of my business goals is to provide an economical way for students to take lessons and learn about horses,
provide as much education as possible to anyone who wants to listen, and promote the passion for horses in a safe,
friendly environment. By the help of many people in my life, many of my dreams have been able to come true. I love
being able to help make the dreams come true for other horse lovers. I’ve tried to build my business plan around my
goals and morals.

Thanks again for stopping by! I really appreciate the interest in making my dreams come true.

Kyle
