This is a picture of our trip to the desert southeast of Tropic UT. We rode 25 plus miles the first day and 40 miles the next day in sand and slick rock. I have a new appreciation for what 40 miles is on a horse especially in the hot desert. We rode with several guys from that area. They rode big quarter horses and even questioned whether my little yellow horse could handle the trip. In the end they were surprised that not only did neither one of our little gaited horses give up but they also beat them back to camp by about 20 to 30 minutes both days.

This is Rory and Lilly in a small creek called Hackberry. We rode about 20 miles before we ran into this creek. The horses were plenty thirsty by then

Tesoro-PF, Rusty-PP, and Midnight-TW on one of our many mountain rides. Our horses make many trips to the mountain and are often pastured there. These are great mountain/trail pleasure horses.

This is a foal that we've been excited for.  Rory bred his 16hh Tennesee walking mare to a awesome looking Peruvian Paso out of the Oro Puro line. The stallion stands about 15hh which should allow this little guy both size, beauty and gait. I've heard alot about good things about Tennuvians but we're all excited to try one out.
