| | I am proud of the success experienced & enjoyed over the years breeding and showing horses. A high point was finding and owning THE DREAM MAKER thanks to Cal Collier. The low point was losing him in a very sad and ugly way resulting in his premature death. I've enjoyed raising or owning World Champions, Honor Roll Leaders, Regional Open or Futurity Champions including Triple Crown Open & Futurity winners. Some of those are listed here:
Dream About Me, The Dream Maker, Mr. Majority, Ruling Class, Miss Sonny Go Te, RPHR Irish Angel, Lucky I Am, Cajun Bandit, Miss TLC, A Midnight Dream, Dreamins My Hobby, RPHR Quality Checked, Bay Bee Slippers, Doc's No Fool, Master Cat, RPHR Painted Pebbles, Celestial Dream, Sentational To a Te, and others....and I can't forget my trail horses Flash and Pistol...

| WELCOME
We've had great fun traveling Amsterdam Netherlands, Warsaw Poland, Kiev Ukraine and Karpathia in 05 & 06. We returned to Austria, France and Eastern Europe in 07 and again in 08 & 09. We had a great ski trip to North Ukraine and home to Mt Bachelor. In 07 and 08 we made several road trips along the Coast and into Wine Country in the XLR-V hotrod. We took Sasha to DisneyWorld, Disneyland, SeaWorld and Six Flags. Iryna and I had a chance to visit the Hawaiian Islands 3 times to 3 different islands to swim with Dolphins and fly over the Volcanos. In 09 we managed to visit Washington DC, Nashville for the PBR, and Antegua. Iryna flew to Paris, and Kiev for 2010 New Year. In 2010 we will visit Costa Rica, another Island in Hawaii, California wine country, PBR Finals in Vegas, Yellowstone, and Italy. We plan on relocating to Northern Italy in the next couple years.

Many thanks for Professional show assistance provided by Paula Canaday and Ray Parker.
A special thanks to friend Cal Collier for bringing me The Dream Maker, and for all the winning years and fun showing Halter Horses around the country. We miss Cal.... a nice man, great showman, and a great eye for horses.
I truly had a love affair with this magnificant animal. Difficult to explain. I still can't believe or understand how it ended....such a bizarre time ....but life goes on and the memory will never fade.
