Billie is the daughter of my strong mare Nicki and Sparven, the stallion I bred, raised, and trained myself. She’s built like a dream, with balance, energy, and a natural joy for reining. She’s so promising that I’ve repeated the Nicki/Sparven pairing. Maybe we’ve discovered that rare “magical cross”!

Sparven holds a special place in my heart! He was my first foal, born into my arms, and now competes at a high level. Though he’s a gelding, I’ve preserved his genetics through frozen semen so his legacy can live on in future generations. Watching him sire a foal like Billie feels like seeing my vision come full circle.

Breeding reining horses is part science, part art, and part heart. You balance bloodlines, structure, and mentality - but sometimes it still feels like a leap of faith. When it works, though, it’s pure magic.

What started as a search for one great horse has become a passion I can’t imagine living without.
