This is the first Stallion we purchased. His name was HHH's Dreamy Vanity. We also bought a mare and with a foal that was out of him. They were really wild as they had just been kept in a field to watch and had no human contact.

The next Stallion we bought was WWR Tony Starr and here he is still kind of thin. He almost died from not being taken care of and they had to hold him up to eat.
Here is Tony as a beautiful Stallion. We had to sale him as all our babies were related to him.
This was our next Stallion. Ja-Hu Risky Business. We bought him as we felt he needed a good home. He was kept in a box stall and he walked around on his hind legs to try to see out. We alos bought 3 mares with him.
This is Risky later on. He was a great jumper and he loved it. The strong hind legs I guess. He could jump a 50 gallon drum without even trying and he was only 30 inches tall. As you can see, he would fold his legs under him.
This is the 2 Miniatures we started out with. We bought them from dear friends and never regreted it. They are:
Bar Double "S" Duch and from another mare but the same Sire was
Bar Double "S" Duke
This is Duch being gorund tied. You would drop the lead and go into a pretend outhouse and count to ten, when you came out the horse was to be where you had left him.
This is Duch after winning first place in the in Hand Obstacle. You had to take them into this tent and turn them around and come out and the horse was to stay calm.
This is Duch winning "B" Gelding Halter
This is Duch with George driving, when He won Hall of Fame in Driving.
This is a flyer congratulating him on his accomplishments and Hall of Faming in these.
This is Duke Side Passing --they must go sideways along a pole and not step over it. Duke Jumping
When Duke won "B" Halter gelding
Duke was a great little guy but he hated showing in lots of ways and so we let him go to a new owner where he could be just a horse and used for pleasure driving outside of an arena.
Hi all! Not a real good picture of me (Janet), but you have to remember it is an amateur taking it. HahahahaHere is a picture of my other half. George. I would be lost without him even on the days when he is onery. Would be mighty lonely.


When you get older, you tend to go to the smaller animals. We started out with big horses and George rode with the Weber County Mounted Sheriff's Posse for years and did the drills in rodeos in other states and also was the captain of the Posse in 1993. Now we have given up the big horses as we sure can't ride anymore but the small horses are just what the doctor ordered as they are excellent in disposition and are easy to handle as they are so willing to please.

We started out our career with the small equine with 2 half brothers ages 2 years old. we bought them from dear friends. The 2 miniature horses were out of the same sire. Bar Double "S" horses. They were the B size meaning they were over 34 inches but not over 38 inches. We loved them and especially Duch who accomplished many Hall of Fame plaques for us and we enjoyed him so much. We showed him in everything possible at the time we were showing and so we sold him to be used in showing by a youth. This 17 year old girl took him to the Nationals in Oklahoma where all the top horses are shown from all over the USA and some foriegn countries and she too NATIONAL CHAMPION OBSTACLE DRIVING with him in September 2006 and he passed away at the age of 14 in October 2006. Very unexpectedly.
