Hi Vicki and Roger, I just thought I would let you know that YOR Gold Medal (Ice to me) won the Senior High Point Buckle for the Calgary Western Riders Gymnkhana Club for 2005. I was showing your website to a friend last night and she asked me where was my picture under horses sold. I told her I've never sent you one but I will. 2005 was the first year I seriously competed on Ice and of course he pulled through with flying colors. He is one fast little sucker. I am penning on him and he is the best penning horse I have ever ridden. He's almost lost me a couple of times when he cut a cow when I wasn't ready. He has quite the fan club among the people that pen at the same place I do. I know he could go on to much greatness if someone decided to get off her duff and do it but I am very happy piddling around doing what I do. I hear Reggie is coming out to get Nitro. That is very exciting and I would love to watch Roger ride him. I hope everything is going well for you and that I will one day be able to visit with you again. Take care, Pat Hyndman |
APRIL 21, 2005:
Hi Vicki,
As you can see Cruise has settled in very well.
I can't believe we've only had him three weeks!
He has now been out by himself trail riding twice, and today we went with
my friend riding one of my other horses. Cruise is great on the trails. He
really seems to enjoy himself and is so good when he is by himself also (no
other horses around.) He is a brave boy and has crossed bridges and gone through
mud.
Sunday, I had him at a friends arena, and we got to chase cattle...practising
for when he becomes a heading horse (if I ever let Bruce ride him!) He was
very fast and really enjoyed it! The last two steers he stretched right out
and was even looking like he wanted to bite them!
He is so affectionate and calm and he really seems to enjoy people and their
company.
I am just crazy about him! We get along great and he really seems to like
me. I love his calm nature and I feel very safe with him.
The problem is one of the reasons I wanted him was for friends to ride him
while I rode my other appy, but now I like Cruise so much I don't want anyone
else riding him!! He's my horse!
Thanks for breeding/raising/training such a great horse!
We're going to have a fun summer together!
Sarah.

Feb/2005 - A note from Mark in England...What happens when you take a hairy horse out of Canada in mid-winter - going from -45C to balmy England with green grass ? Apparently, they like to do a lot of rolling in the mud ! This is "Norm" happily in his new home, near London.

We are doing well. Last weekend was our first show. Fancy did very well. I
kind of threw things at her that I am sure she was really confused about.
I put her in English Pleasure Jr.horse classes and English Equitation. She
did very well. We took 1st in Equitation and 2nds in Pleasure. We
also took 1sts in Reining and Western Riding. It was a 2 day show. We did
just as well the 2nd day. I was very happy, considering that I had
only rode her several times before the show and we don't know each other well
yet.
" someone offered me $10,000 for him...
he is such a perfect horse, I couldn’t sell him.”

from “Linda Toller” ltoller@winspeer.com about her High Noon gelding named “YOR Ace High” (You can email Linda by clicking on her red email address above)
“Hi guys!! Hope you got
some of the snow that was flying!
Had Ace in a clinic last weekend
and he jumped his first jump! He doesn't have any
"refuse" in him. We did a whole course, and most of the
horses trotted it like he did, because it was so low, but he did actually
jump one fence. He is doing really well and every one loves him.
I said to one of the girls in
the clinic that I could consider selling him if someone offered me $10,000 for
him (who wouldn't like to make money on a horse!) and the next morning at 8:00
am I got a call on someone who wanted to buy him. He is such a perfect
horse, I couldn't sell him. The trainer at the clinic, she was
very sceptical when I bought him, told me I was NOT to sell him because he
moved so well and he had such a great mind. So there you go. High
praise from that lady. She has taught Pony Club and raised horses for
about 50 years.
Thank you for producing
Ace. He is a total sweetheart - he comes when he is called and has really
good arena manners (thanks to the round pen work I did with him) and we are
going to do just great. I hope to show him in the Appaloosa show this
August in equitation, baby green jumping and trail.
He comes home May 1 so I can
ride him in the mountains with Pat and Ice for the summer, as well as train in
our ring here. He trailers very well now too.
Will keep in touch! Linda”
March 28, 2003 from “Margaret ” in England about her High Noon stud colt named “YOR Spot Doctor” (9 months old at this time) You can email Margaret Hattersley directly by clicking on this email address margarethattersley@hotmail.com
“Last Saturday I
saw an advert for a horse show at the local college, so had to go. Spot had a
bath and was very good. We entered him into a class for yearlings, two year and
three year olds. There were 15 horses in the class of all breeds and different
heights. His behaviour was excellent and we only went to give him the
experience and a change of scenery. He came second, You would have been very
proud of him. You would have thought he had done this many times before. He is
a credit to you. Will send you photographs as soon as possible. Thanks,
Margaret”

England about “YOR Spot Doctor”.
“Good Afternoon
Vicki,
Thank you for your e-mail. Bill is
thrilled to be taking Spot to Royal Windsor
Horse Show in May. We have had so many
visitors to see this very special
foal, that Anne who I share the yard
with as suggested that we get a
visitors book. So when I am next out
shopping I will have to get him
one. He already as a fan club in 2 small children who come to feed him
carrots. I have just been to the farm to give him his lunch and as soon as
he sees you he
comes to the gate. The weather is much warmer now and all the
spring flowers are
in bloom.
Vicki I would like
to send you a thank you gift for allowing us to buy Spot, is there anything
Our good wishes to you and your family
MARGARET”

about “YOR NoonDay Son” at 3 years old – trained as a trick
horse
Noon feels great. Is on a mixture of
grass hay and alfalfa, has recovered from the long haul and showed me yesterday
that he still remembers the bowing . I just touched his right front leg and he
lifted it up and I led his leg backwards a bit. I didn't ask for a lot or long
time, but we will remember it all. He is a very, very intelligent horse. I'll
leave him to rest for a week to get settled in so his system can get used to
the new environment .
March 14, 2003
“Noon is settled
in, he is a fine horse. He is very obedient, learns fast and is
just a sweety
. First
it was too cold , now it is too soggy . But he goes out
with me on the ‘playground’ everyday and I've given him another gelding
to play with . After
2 hours I call - and he immediately comes loping up, sticks his head into the
halter
and then we go home , he gets a groom and a cuddle and
a treat and is a happy horse. He loves to play with the stallions over the fence,
too. Hope
that I can ride , soon . But we have grown very , very fond of Noon and Ray always brings
him an extra tidbit. Thanks, Irina.”

High Noon son "YOR White Hot" with one of his first foals...Email Jodi & Terry - click HERE. |
Hi Roger and Vicki, Just want you to know how much we enjoy our Stallion YOR WhiteHot. I have been showing him in several Non Pro classes this summer and he is doing really well, he is so quiet that nobody knows he is a stallion. He is a joy to be around and ride, and he is so talented I can ride him in most anything. Of course he was also a 100% color producer for us this spring, this is the first time that has ever happened to us! Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to own such a nice stallion, Terry and Jodi Striefel |
