Thanks for the updates Jessica!

Thanks you guys!"

The Miller Family and Keno
Hi Jenn and Matt,
"I just have to thank you again for our new SSHBEA gelding, STALKER, who is now called "Keno", by the way. I wanted something to link him to
our fun Vegas adventure when buying him and the name Stalker seemed to aggressive for such a sweet horse. As you know, he is not our first
gaited horse, and our wish list was long. I am always looking for a horse that has a willing mind that stands out from the rest, and Keno had such
a laid back gentle way about him, that he really tugged my heart from day one.
When I found your site on line, and saw his photo and videos, I could tell he was a gentle horse with a good attitude. Although, I was not looking
to buy such a young horse, I loved the way in his videos that he kept his ears up and gaited smoothly as if he was smiling and really enjoying him
self. His cute little head shake and soft eyes drew me in as well. Then you told me that he was by the same stallion that your personal riding
horse is by, and how brave, gentle and confident your cute gelding is. So when you told me that Stalker was trained by the same trainer as your
gelding, that gave me reason to jump up, call you, and to put down a deposit on him, even before he left Tennessee. I would not have put down
the deposit so willingly had you not told me my deposit was fully refundable. I had never been offered that before on any of my other horses I
have purchased elsewhere. I want to thank you again for that offer. It is what brought us to all the way from California to your barn in Nevada.
Your patience with all my questions and your customer service was top notch. My only disappointment was that Stalker was smaller than stated
by his trainer in TN, but his gait, gentle way and willing attitude was just as nice as I expected so that out weighed my disappointment once I rode
him. He is indeed filling out nicely now and I am not worried about his size any more. My farrier loves his hooves, and we pulled his shoes and he
is gaiting as nicely bare as he did with his shoes on. He is my diamond in the rough, and it will be fun to watch him grow into himself.
In the two months I have had him home with me in CA, he has never given me any trouble. For not even being 3 yrs old yet, he is brave,
confident, trailers perfectly, ties quietly, rides out alone, neck reins, and side passes and parks out now too!
So far, he is not afraid of traffic, construction, dogs, farm animals, bicycles, wind, new places, balloons (as you can see from the attached photo),
flags, nothing yet that I have showed him has rattled him. Just as his TN trainer stated, he seems to be "carefree", and I am enjoying our lessons
and trail time together. He is a very willing student.
I just wanted to say Happy Holidays, and thank you again for our new trail buddy.
The new year will be brighter because we bought our new horse from you! "
The Millers in California

The Koppel Family and Sunny & Stormwatch
The Koppels bought two great horses from us (Sunny and Stormwatch). These horses were bought over the Internet. The Koppel family put allot
of trust in me and our horses. This is an email I received from them shortly after they received their two beautiful horses. "Here are some pics!
We didn't switch over to a child's saddle yet when the photos were taken, and still ... she sat up there, walked around with them ... and there
were no worries!"
"She is only two ... and she had no problems feeling safe and secure on these guys, and getting them to respond to her in the round pen. She
was a very happy girl! We have five children, and my daughter and younger son have never had an experience like this on any other horse.
These horses are loved and will be ridden a lot!" 6/5/08 Sunny is now being used as a lesson horse.

It is wonderful when great horses are appreciated and loved in their new homes. Thank you for trusting me. I love my job!
Thanks for the updates!

This page is dedicated to all of the wonderful people that we have had the opportunity to match
with great horses. Nothing makes Matt or I happier than receiving an update from our happy
horse owners. Placing our loved horses into forever homes where they are cherished makes our
hearts sing. Thank you all for trusting us to match you with your trail partners and life friend.
These are unsolicited updates from our past customers.
(Most of these are from those who have purchased their horse over the internet/sight unseen.)

Thank you all for making our endeavor at Dream Walker Ranch so gratifying!

Keith and Ace
Ace arrived to his new home in Louisiana. After he arrived Keith was nice enough to send me an update on their new family member Ace.
"Ace is SO perfect.
Please let me know when you have more just like Ace. Our 10 year old son Hunter would bring Ace from the barn and upstairs to his room if he
could. What a perfect horse.
Thank you!"

Thank you Keith for giving Ace a great new home where he will be loved.

Lisa and Baracus now Champ
"Hi Jenn, We are so happy with Baracus, he is adjusting well and has made friends with the TW mare at his new home. He is so happy to have all
the attention he is getting from all of us. He is just a big puppy dog."
" Thanks so much for everything. We will probably be back to look at getting 1 more a few months down the road. Donnie is really enjoying him
to and will probably want one of his own too."

Baracus is so happy to be with his new family. When we trailered him to his new home we could tell that he was finally where he was meant to be.
Champ has a wonderful family that will love & care for him & give him all the attention he deserves.
He is very special horse that we will miss. Thank you for the updates!

David, Sallie and Mystic
"HI JENN AND MATT, HERE IS PHOTO OF MYSTIC AND DAVID DOWN BY OUR LITTLE IDAHO RIVER. HE IS ADJUSTING VERY WELL AND WE HAVE HAD
A COUPLE GREAT RIDES UP IN THE MOUNTAINS. MYSTIC'S GAITING HAS MADE MY HORSE GAIT MUCH BETTER TOO. MYSTIC IS VERY KIND TO BE
AROUND AND WE EXPECT TO HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE WITH HIM. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP IN PURCHASING SUCH A FINE ANIMAL !"

Wow what a beautiful photo. Thank you David and Sallie for giving Matt and I the privilege of helping you find your horse. Mystic has a family
that loves him and that means the world to us. Thank you for caring for him and sharing your photos with us. Happy Trails!

Val and Dream Catcher
"Hi Jenn, I've meant to write you several times. Things are going fantastic with Dream Catcher. I love having him more than I even imagined!!"
"I hope we cross paths again someday. I will always be greatfull I found you....and Dream Catcher!!"

Val and Dream Cather were meant to be. From the minute she saw him there was something that drew her to him. When Val rode Dream Catcher
you could tell that feeling was mutual. Those two hit it off from day one.
We wish you many happy years together and happy trail!
Thanks for the updates!

Linda and Reggie
Linda sent us an update on how she and Reggie (formerly known as Diamond Cutter) are doing in Arizona.

"Hi Jenn..........I cannot begin to tell you what an awesome, calm and perfect horse Diamond Cutter has been so far! I have renamed him Reggie.
There is not a thing I can find that scares this guy! Thank you SO much for suggesting him for me.............I see you've sold three more since
him.......great! If I ever need or want another horse, you'll be the first one I come to.......and send my friends to.........and the experience was so
pleasureable........thanks so much again for everything!
Thank you Linda. Linda and Reggie are a perfect fit. We are so happy Reggie gets to spend his days with you!
Happy Trails Linda- Jenn

Kayla and Salem
Kayla sent me an update on Maverick (now Salem).
"He truly is very special to me. I recently lost a horse very close to me. I didn't think I had enough space in my heart to give to another horse. But
then I met Maverick (now know as "Salem") and he changed everything. He truly is a blast and has a great personality.
If I am ever in the market for a second horse I will be give you guys a holler."
Maverick was an awesome horse! We are so glad that he has an owner who appreciates and loves him.

Julie, Gary and Chili
Gary sent us an update on how Chili (Firestone) is doing . "I just wanted to tell you how much we appreciate Chile (Firestone). He
is everything we wanted and expected and you were so truthful in your description of him, we started dreaming of Chili before we visited
you. I can truely say he is exactly what we expected so our dreams actually did come true. If we are ever in the market for another horse you
guys are on the top of the list. If you ever need a reference please let us know we will give you a 5 gold star rating. We feel lucky and
think that if you only get one chance in a lifetime to get a perfect horse we just found ours. Thanks again and don't worry he will be loved as
part of our family for the rest of his life."
Gary Smallwood
Chile is so lucky to have such a wonderful and loving family. Gary and Julie are the type of horse owners that make me smile everyday when I
wake up. Their is nothing that makes us happier than knowing a that a special horse like Chili has owners that love him and see his inner beauty.
Thanks for the updates Gary! We wish you and Julie the best!

Nancy and Zeus
" ZEUS is one of the best things ever to come into my life....He is everything you said and MORE !!!!!!"
"He is such a people horse....He truly LOVES people and "most" of all, Zeus and i have already developed a true "rapor"......he is so kind and
sweet, I tried to turn him into the arena the other day to let him "run" and all he did was "follow-me" .....I took him into the center of the arena and
took halter off and would walk back to gate and I'd turn around and Zeus was "right-behind-me" !!!!!!!!!!!! like he was saying "don't leave me all
alone out here"....so I just saddled him and rode........Unbelieve'able......Just love him with all my heart........"

Nancy and Zeus were meant to be together. There was no doubt in our minds after we saw how found they were of each other after just one
ride. We are so happy that Zeus is getting lots of love from Nancy! Thanks for loving him as much as you do and thanks for the update!

Tami and Aspen
Aspen is now at her new home in California. Here is an update from her new owner and our new friend Tami.
"Well, Aspen has been home for over a week. She is settling well, and is such a solid horse, no spook, no surprises. I have ridden her
several times, and my daughter Amy is riding her as well. She is such a sweet loving mare."
"The other ladies on the ranch have fallen for her beauty and sweetness as well."

Thanks for the update Tami. We are glad to hear that you are both doing so well.

Tracey, Delaney & Poseidon, Romeo
Tracey and Delaney are the new owners of Poseidon and Romeo. The boys are now happy at their new home in Washington State.
"Just wanted to let you know how they have been doing, and that we love them both so much, my husband even really enjoys them and he is not
a real horse person. So thank you again and we will send some pictures soon."

Thank you for giving these two special horses such a loving and wonderful home. We look forward to seeing the pictures!

Tracey, Delaney & Major General
Tracey and Delaney are the new owners of Major General. He has joined a wonderful loving family.
Major General will join Poseidon and Romeo in Washington State.
Here is an update from Tracey: "Hi Jenn, just wanted to drop you a quick note. We just got back from the barn , Major arrived at about 1:00am,
We all absolutely adore him. Even Craig was taken by him. What a nice mellow guy, due to the size of the trailer we unloaded on the road and
walked him in to the barn its a pretty long and very dark drive way , he was very good not spooked at all. Once we got to the barn he just wanted
to hang out with us. Had him out in arena and he would keep coming back to us. Anyway he seems to be wonderful and a lot like Romeo. Jenn
thank you so much for everything you have done for us and I can't say it enough we love our three boys and they will always have a loving home
with us. Have a nice holiday and I'll be in touch soon. Thanks again Tracey "

Jessica and Somerset
Hi Jenn,
Just wanted to let you know that Somerset is doing great (I decided to keep his name b/c it really seems to fit him). After his cross country trip, it
took a couple of days for him to settle in but he is now more relaxed. We have been taking our time getting to know one another with lots of
grooming and walks. I rode him for the first time yesterday and he was wonderful. He is everything that I was looking for in a horse! Everyone in
the barn comments on how well behaved and sweet he is. Thank you so much for helping me choose him, buying a horse off the Internet can be
a little bit leery, but he is exactly how you described him to be and I couldn't be happier. He is very loved!!
Thanks again. Jessica

John and Liberty
"You were 100% correct. She is a sweetheart. She loves attention and comes right to me every time I go out. I think she likes the attention
better than hay." "I really feel fortunate. Thank you."
"I rode Liberty today and she was great." "She continues to want attention and always comes to me when I go out to the pasture.
Thank you again for a great horse. "
"Liberty has her own personality. She is like one of my dogs. I am finishing a chukar pen for training birds inside the horse pasture. It is
located there to keep it distant from my dogs. Liberty is right over my shoulder no matter what I do. I hammer, drill and pound and she just stays
right there. Today I was down on my hands and knees stapling wire when Liberty took a pair of pliers out of my back pocket and dropped them
on my back. She always tips the ladder over if I leave it standing and she has picked up several different tools. Later in the afternoon she got
bored so she laid down about 15 feet from where I was doing a lot of hammering and went to sleep. She is a kick. Her gait ain't bad either!
Thanks for a unique horse."
John

Vicki and Mocha
Vicki and Mocha are just the cutest couple. Vicki sent me some updates on Mochas and he is just a clown in the barn. Just too funny!
"I mainly wanted to tell you what a clown he's turned out to be. The trainer told me she walked by his stall and he was carrying a piece of it (his
stall) around in his mouth.   So I bought him some dog toys. Yep, you heard it right - dog toys. Rubber hoops (large) and a twisted rope.   They
(other boarders) stand by his stall to watch him play with these and his jolly ball.   They said he twirls the rope around like a helicopter and then 3
interconnected hoops all over the place. I've never had a horse that loves to play like he does. I can't work on his feet unless he tickles the
small of my back.    He still has a big crush on the Arab mare next to him and he's made friends with Scooter, the lesson pony on the other side.   I
think he wants them to "throw back" his toys.   His Uncle Jimmy's hanging ball hung in his stall forever because he didn't know what it was. Then
one day I noticed it was completely gone. Turns out he discovered it was good, figured out how to pull it off of it's rope and ate the whole thing!
When I brought him a replacement, he began eating it while it was still in my hand and went right for it after I hung it for him. He is such a
character!" " I'm really crazy about him, Jenn - he is so neat.   Thank you. "   Vicki

Update-7/11/09
"I can't begin to tell you how much joy Mocha brings to me. He truly is a heart mender. Today at the barn I ran into a lady who is in the process of
buying a horse and boarding it there.   She said "you own Mocha don't you?" "Yes" I answered. "What a lover he is! We've had long
conversations together".   I get that from almost everyone at the barn.   The young riders line up at his stall to watch him play with his dog toys."
" His coat is beautiful - still that liver color - but sleek and shiny. His tail is to the ground.   My trainer is going to bring him up to Oregon for a
visit in August - she's bringing her horse too - and we're going to ride the trails up there for a week.   I think he'll enjoy that, don't you? He loves
to cuddle and comes at a fast pace when I call him. He's so neat!!!!!! Thank you again. Vicki"

Hi, just wanted to give an update. Tuxedo is settling in well. She has great ground manners and has been easy to handle. She stands quietly to
be brushed etc. It is quite windy here and she is not the slightest bit spooky. She is getting along with our other 2 horses well. I have yet to
ride her-with the wind chill it is about 2 degrees.....
I have 5 and 3 year old children so ground manners/pasture manners are extremely important to me. I love her already, she is going to be my
forever horse. I will update you when I ride her.
Thank you again,
Stacey

Cinnamon and Danielle
This is a letter from Danielle. She is a young girl who has owned Cinnamon for a year now. Cinnamon was a 2.5yr old when her mother bought
him for her. He is a wonderful horse that has a great family to spend his life with. This is her update on there time together.
"Hi this is Danielle, I am happy to say I have had cinnamon [woodstalk] [triggers vigilante] for a year now he is the sweetest thing and we've had
allot of fun together the other day i has reading Horse Illustrated and their was a riders bucket list like things to do before u die anyway one of
the things on the list was to ride a gaited horse and it made me think how lucky i am no not only have ridden one but to have one of my own i
hope every thing is going good at the ranch cinnamon is doing great he also extremely intelligent when my friend and I are riding and we stop
and talk for a few minutes he will copy every move of the other horse she puts her foot fwd he does to she itches it he will to sometimes he will
even copy me! When I lean to the side he will tilt his head he's a real cutie pie. PS He loves rolling in the snow pretty big change from last year
being afraid of it well gotta go talk to you later bye." -Danielle-

Doreen and Giovanni
Dear Jenn,
"Hope all is well in Las Vegas ! Just thought I’d let you know how great Giovanni is doing. He really is the sweetest little guy. The weather is
finally starting to cooperate and the snow has melted. Dennis and I have gotten him out on trail with another horse approx. 15 x’s, so far he has
been wonderful. We’ve encountered numerous deer, dogs and even the occasional gaggle of wild turkeys. "
"Jenn thanks again for everything and I’ll forward you some pictures in the future.
Sincerely, Doreen
P.S. When I’m ready for another one I will be calling you."

John and Firestone Affair/Clyde
"Hi Jenn, I've been super busy traveling to field trials every weekend. Just a quick note to tell you that (Firestone Affair) Clyde, marked like a
Clydesdale, is working out very well. He gets about four hours a day at each weekend trial day, two and three day events. His neck reining has
improved to excellent and his gait is improving as he gets more relaxed. His greatest quality is that he really likes to go. No spurs or heels.
Just a gentle squeeze and he is off to the races. He has no tendencies towards being herd bound which is another big bonus. He is also getting
used to flopping bird bags being handed up to me and then going out on our own and planting the live birds. We spend a lot of time in a
run/walk and that is his smoothest gait. His endurance looks to be good even though I will not tire him out due to his age. Last weekend he
proved his ability to handle mud and extreme rocky surfaces." "He has adapted well to long hauls in the trailer, 5 to 7 hours, and he gets along
well with my old gelding. Clyde will be a veteran field trial horse by the end of the spring season."

Bob, Jenni and Commander & Golden Lady
"Thanks Jenn
Country did a great job delivering the horses. We rode the horses today. They did great (Commander really fought taking the bit though).
They both rode great.
We could not be happier. Of all web sites we looked at and the trips we took trying out horses your description of the horses temperament and
capability was right on. No exaggerations. You arrange great transportation and made everything enjoyable and easy.
Thanks for everything. Excellent job!
I attached a picture of Liberty and Commander at their new home.
Thanks
Bob"

Cindy and Cimmaron
Hi Jennifer, Matt ,

Cimmaron (formerly Battle Dollar) and I made it home safe and sound! I was totally fried! It was an 11 hour trip and Hwy 99 is an absolutely horrible
freeway!!! Bumpy, patched up and full of trailer rocking uneven pavement. I kept cringing thinking what poor Cimmaron must be going through.
But he came through it all great. I stopped every 4 hours for a 40 minute rest.
When we arrived home it was completely dark out......AND!!!......we have NO street lights around here. So with a flash light, Jack and I lead
Cimmaron through the "horse eating monster gauntlet"! Soooo many new scary sights, sounds and smells for a new horse to take in after such a
long and exhausting drive. Cimmaron took it all in and proceeded through it all perfectly!!! I was amazed!!! And relieved! A very dicey situation to
say the least! I was very concerned for his and my safety. Whew! Just thinking about all that could have gone wrong makes me cringe.
Your horses really live up to what you say about them!!! I can't thank you enough for being the fantastic horse people that you are! You folks
really have a top notch business with many wonderful horses to choose from. I feel that I found the perfect match for me and my husband's riding
ability. Cimmaron has such a loving and even temperament. A joy to be around.
Jack fell in love with Cimmaron instantly! In fact he is claiming him as his very own horse! Saying that this is his birthday present! Cool, huh? I
can't wait for him to get up on him for that first ride.
As far as Cimmaron and Comanchero go, it looks like they are a good fit. No pinned ears and bared teeth. I'm keeping them separated until
Cimmaron settles in and they get used to each other.

Thank You again for everything!
Cindy Sinclair

Charlene & Cheyenne
Hi Jenn,
"Well, we're home ( no thanks to the wind), but Cheyenne was good after we got going. By the time we got here he was soooo ready to get
out of that trailer. He unloaded fine, but was a little scared of an ATV cover flapping in the wind, but never tried to run away or pull back.
He's a real trooper. Cheyenne let me put on his fly face with no problem. When I put a blanket on him, he wasn't sure what I was going to
do, but I told him he was fine and he relaxed and let me put it over his head. We just didn't want him to get cold tonight ( he has his
summer clothes on and we are still in sweat pants).
He and Roc seem to be getting along great. Playing over the fence. I won't let out together for another couple of days because we have
rain and thuderstorms coming tonight and Saturday.
I can't thank you and Matt enough for letting buy him. Meeting you and Clyde was such a pleasure. Cheyenne is going to fit into our
family just fine. He is everything I had been hoping for and more. He's not sure where he is yet, but he's not overly concerned either. If
he gets worried he just looks for us and he seems to feel better. I just love that boy.
Thank you both again and loved the picture,
Charlene, Ed and Cheyenne
P.S. He has met the two dogs and 7 barn cats too"

Linda and Pepper
Hi Jenn,
"So after it rained all week, really poured with major storms, I finally got a chance to ride Pepper.
I rode a little, on Friday, with my horse riding teacher. She was very impressed with Pepper, and she is not impressed easily. She said he is a well
trained horse! Pepper still seemed a little jumpy and out of sorts, but gets better each day.
Today, I played with Pepper, by myself, and did the desensitizing like the Clinton Anderson/Parelli type of ground work. At first he was pretty
nervous, but he relaxed and learned the program very quickly. This is a VERY smart horse!! I think it helped him to relax more, and get used to
me. And, for the first time in my life, I saddled him up and went for a ride by myself!!! up and down my driveway and the road. He was terrific!! He
walked on a loose rain, and then did a slow gait when I asked.
He was pretty preoccupied by all the new sights and sounds going on around him, as there are donkey's, mules, other horses, sheep, goats etc,
but all the more amazing he did so well! It was exhilarating, to say the least, and now I feel so thrilled and grateful to have a horse like this. And I
know it will get so much better from here, as we get more used to each other and communicate better. Jenn, you were right. He is patient, and
can go slow when asked. And when he gaits, well, that is his speciality!! By the way, I am calling him sweet pepper, instead of sargent pepper. It
has a different feeling about it, but the name Pepper definitely suits him. "
" Thank you again for such a wonderful horse. All the more remarkable since I bought him from the Internet without ever seeing him or riding
him!!! Just on your say so!
In gratitude,
Sincerely,
Linda "

Kathy and Casanova now Smokey Joe's Boomerang
Hello Jenn...
Just a quick note of thanks to you for selling me such a wonderful horse.
This weekend Casanova and I, did river crossings, mountains, step-overs, 'scary-mountain-bikes-coming-around-blind-corners', and (augggh!)
wild pigs. Quite a ride! Casanova handled it better then most of the seasoned pros. He was amazing and a pure joy to ride. My riding friends
snickered a bit when first meeting him, wondering why I'd bought a 'pony'. No one was laughing after our ride. He received a pat and a word of
praise from all present. More then one person asked me where on earth I had found such a great little guy. I'm sure that several of them will be
viewing your website with great interest this week, ha.
attached to him. That plan didn't work! He is such a sweet, trusting, happy guy. Also, he keeps us laughing, as he is a bit of a goofball when not
working- - - he thinks everything is a toy! The horse balls and cones that I packed away years ago are finally getting some use.
Thank you Jenn for pairing me with a horse that is so perfect for me. I'm feeling like a 'horsecrazy kid' again (at 48 yrs.!!!!!) --- what a gift and a joy.
My thanks to you.
Wishing you the best always,
Kathy

UpDate: 7/7/09
Just got back from a lovely ride today with my wonderful steed.
We did our first big mountain climb this morning and Smokey went up and down the rocky trail like a mountain goat. He is so sure footed and
brave. He really pays attention to his feet..... lifting them high and clear on step-overs and at the same time, really moving out. I just can't say
enough good about him, he is an awesome trail buddy !

Updates & Testimonials

Stacey and Bandit's Little Tumbleweed
"She is a doll and a perfect match for us. She knows what children are-you can see her slow down, walk more carefully and lower her head for
my kids to pet. In short, she is beautiful, loving, family friendly and a joy to ride.
I will send some pictures shortly.
Thank you more than words can say."
Sincerely,
Stacey

Linda and Apache and Bandit
"I have ridden Bandit, and he is just a dream horse for sure!!! He has the smoothest gait!! We love them both. I have to tell you, I gave Apache a
bath a few days ago. I knew he would be fine since I watched him take a bath on your videos, and of course he was. So next was Bandit. I was a
little hesitant, but I should not have worried one minute, he stood there like a pro." " I can spray them with fly spray, ride the quads around them,
my husband runs the tractor, nothing bothers them!! Jenn, I am so happy with these horses, I can't tell you how much we love them!!! I'll try to
send some pictures soon and let you know how Apache does with his first ride tomorrow morning. I'm very excited to actually get to finally ride
him. Linda "
Update:
"Hi Jenn: Thought I'd follow up my other e-mail and let you know that Apache did GREAT on our first ride together. He went through the creek,
over logs, over bridges, just like a trooper. My husband Roy rode Bandit and we were both so impressed with how smooth their gaits are. I still
can't believe that I bought TWO horses at once, sight unseen off the internet...and both of them are fabulous.
Apache is just such a lover...he's almost like a huge puppy. Thank you so much for both of our wonderful new trail partners!"
Linda

Rhonda and Nevada Black Jack
"Hello Matt and Jenn,
I wanted to drop you a line and let you know how things have progressed with Black Jack (Midnight Run). We have been trail riding in the
mountains on a regular basis due to the heat here. We have had some amazing rides and Jack is doing great. He is the lead horse on most rides
although he is still not very comfortable in that role. But he crosses water easily and climbs rocks like a billy goat so the others follow willingly.
We have gone to a gaited horse clinic and are taking weekly lessons to work on proper framing, working off of the hind and improving gait
(mostly consistency). He gets along well with his pasture mates and has put on some pounds due to a good grass year. Jack is a real sweetheart
and willingly comes to me in the pasture, even when he sees us loading the trailer. I am very attached to him. He still has a tendency to be a bit
spooky at times, but I don't put up with it and I think he will grow out of it. I am sending along some photos of our rides. If the original owner is
interested, please send this along and let them know Jack is loved and well taken care of. Thanks.
Hope you enjoy the photos.
Sincerely,
Ronda"

Linda and Charmer
"Hi Jenn,
Thanks for your quick response regarding the back shoes of Suave/Charmer. I will discuss this with my farrier.
I just want to tell you that I absolutely love this horse. I had the best time ever on a horse today with him. I rode him on a trail near my house for
over 3 hours, and he was excellent. We are bonding well and I know he is enjoying it here.( he is also in good shape, as the other horses were
huffing and puffing). One of the other horses was in heat, and he didn't care a bit.
I worry sometimes that he will have bad habits like my other horses, but I have to tell you that he is the perfect horse for me right now. He is not
fighting with me over who is boss, rather, he calmly does what he is asked, and with such ease.
I even got into his smooth gait for a little while today, which felt great.
His calmness helps me get and stay calm, and he is so easy to do anything, just a light touch and he goes and he stops on command. I am
thrilled and grateful to have a horse like this. Even my neighbors, who constantly joke with me for all the horses I have bought and sold, know I
finally got the right one. Wow, it feels amazing!! I have finally found my dream horse!!!
Thank you Jenn.
Sincerely,
Linda"

Jennifer,

"This email is long overdo!! We hope all is well in Las Vegas with you and your family, and that business has been well. John, the girls and I have
been having such a fantastic time with our new family members. Our riding experiences have been so wonderful. We appreciate and enjoy our
time with Cimi, D, Kodi and Copper! We've picked a few pictures from a recent ride to share with you. We hope you enjoy them! They seem to
love the open spaces and they get along so well. John and I are finalizing the design of a new equine center that will include six stalls, two wash
stations, a tack room, and rider dressing area and a covered arena. I'll do better at updating you on events and photos of the boys! We
appreciate you taking the time to work with John and I and matching us up with some truly special animals. We love them!

Thanks again!

Katie, Jacob and Spirit
Hi Jennifer,
"I rode him out today, and he did very well. He had no problem with barking dogs, motorcycles, or even the emus that live down the street. I was
very impressed. Even our other very calm horse freaked out at those. He gets along well with our other horse, and the kids love him. I'm
attaching a few photos of them."
"My son, Jacob, has really taken to Spirit, even more than my older daughter, Gena (a.k.a "Spirit"). He has ridden Spirit twice, by himself (with me
leading him). Usually before he would want me to ride with him. And Spirit likes the baby. He tries to sniff her feet, which would fit right up his
nose! I am in love with Spirit. He is gorgeous! I love just looking out the window at him. And he is so sweet and easy going. Yesterday I rode
him through our streets to the state park. It was so nice to just ride out without worrying about what my horse would do. His gaits are fun too. I
had never ridden a gaited horse before."
"Thank you for finding Spirit for us. I'll give you a call if I ever convince my husband to get a horse of his own."
Katie

Larry and Bandit
"Matt/Jenn,
The pictures were taken from my daughter’s phone so they are not the best quality.
We unloaded Bandit about 2:00 pm (5 hours in the trailer today, 2 hours yesterday), let him rest for a few hours then took him into the hills. As
can be expected, he was a little nervous / uncertain at first (particularly when we took him out solo).
However, once we got on the trails (I am using the term trails loosely – most of the time we were following narrow deer trails through the talk
grass and scrub oak) , he was flawless – I would just point him at a deer trail and he would take it without hesitation.
FYI, I used a mild Wonder bit with a curb strap and maintained slight hand pressure (when we were on the trail I just let him pick his own speed –
which was always either his fast walk or canter). He did so well on the bit, I am going to try him on a basic snaffle.
Thanks,Larry"
Update:
"I had Bandit on a 14 mile cattle drive on Saturday. Then had him rounding up cattle for 3 hours in blowing snow today. Again, he was flawless.
He is so quick and athletic that he does the work of two horses.
He is also becoming more accustomed to working with me. At one point I dismounted to open a gate. I just left him standing with reins draped
over the saddle horn and walked over to the gate and opened it. He didn’t move until I had the gate open. Then he calmly walked through the
gate to where I was standing (without me giving him any cues). I got on and we kept going.
His only “vice” is that he wants to GO and other horses can’t keep up! (and that he is at the bottom of the pecking order and won’t stand up for
himself.)
Please let me know if you get another Bandit caliber horse (i.e., athletic, willing, etc.) I may be interested in picking up another like him.
Larry "

Lisa and Rock Star
"Jenn- just wanted to let you know that Rock Star is the Star of the Stables! He is so sweet, like a huge puppy!! He is a fun trail mount, being so
young has its advantages (spooking at bushes or other horses) that makes him a fun ride! We are learning and growing together. He has been
all over Hernando County riding with horse friends and everyone is impressed with his personality, looks and abilities. He is being shown this
weekend locally by one of the girls at my barn- I will send some pictures! I absolutely love him!!"
Lisa
UPDATE: 1/21/10
Hi Jenn-
"look at the fabulous pictures that I took today of Rock with a new headstall/breast plate on today! Look how BIG he has gotten.....wow!!
He's is so good and very sweet, I LOVE this horse! "

Suzanne and Revolver
Hi Jenn
"Just wanted to let you know that Revolver is a great horse. He has settled in and I love riding him. He does everything I ask of him and he is a
pleasure. Thank you again and Happy Holidays.

Annie and Teddy
Hi Jenn,
Finally got some pics of my Teddy Bear. He is the best!!! I absolutely love this boy, he is definitely my forever horse!
Thanks a million!
Annie
UPDATE: 1/26/10
Hi Jenn and Matt,
"Just wanted to let you know that I fall more in love with my Teddy Bear every day. He is the best little trail partner and I plan on growing old with
this boy. I've tried other horses since purchasing him and I just don't understand why anyone would have anything other than a gaited horse!
What's the attraction to posting a trot????
I hope to purchase another Dream Walker horse next year. I'd hoped to get one this year to give Teddy a barn buddy, but after purchasing a
home and new truck the savings is gone! So if you could save Masterpiece for me for a year it would be greatly appreciated!!!"

Sandra and Angelo
"Oh Jennifer, Angelo is absolutely gorgeous! He arrived with Mitch tonight about 10:30pm CST. It was hard to wait these 5 days, and I was
worried about his long ride, but he seemed to have tolerated things just fine! Even for me, a beginner, he followed me into a totally new stable
and arena, and was very manageable. He got a chance to kick up his heels a bit in the arena, and is settling in tonight in the adjoining paddock.
I'll spend the day with him tomorrow (perfect timing, right on my 50th birthday!). More updates to come!"
Sandra
Update: 1/8/10
"Angelo is a good match for me. Very tolerant of a beginner. He's a bit on the lazy side, but much better than a flighty horse."

Lynne, Dean & Jackson & Durango
First let me tell you that we LOVE our horses. This email has been awhile coming because we've had so much snow here that our riding was
limited for a few weeks. We tried to go everyday, though, after the snow melted and before Dean had to go back to DC. So we can finally say
with assurity that we are very happy with our purchase.
The big buckskin's name is Jackson and Dan is now named Durango....after the Las Vegas cross street near you. (Grand Teton didn't roll off the
tongue:) They are both friendly and adorably curious about everything and everyone. Both of their ground manners are fabulous. So easy to
mount and dismount, tack up and lead.
Durango has such a cute personality. His ground manners are even better than Jackson's. So calm and patient; will stand forever wherever you
leave him. His gaiting is so smooth and he loves to do it, even on the trail. He is still 5 years old, so he is more easily startled by new things. But
so far he only does the "4-footed plant" if spooked. He never spins or runs or has any other dangerous reaction. "
" Jackson is so calm and even-keeled. Perfect for my husband. He NEVER spooks or gets nervous. His has a great stretched-out walk. He is a
little pushy with his head when being lead, or handled, like he's been allowed to take advantage of less-experienced riders, by shoving them
with his nose to move where he wants. Luckily Dean is 6'4" and very strong and he doesn't ever let Jackson get away with it. I can already see an
improvement. His gaiting isn't quite as smooth as Durango's, but his lope is to die for and it's Dean's new favorite thing to do on him! He had a
slight respiratory infection when he arrived from all that trailering in December. But a round of antibiotics and he's good as new. We love his
size and beautiful coloring.
We are so happy with our new companions that we are strongly considering getting our 14 yr. old her own horse. She will also be riding in
parades with us for the next 3 years. She likes to trail ride with us periodically on weekends too."
Thanks again for two great horses.
Hope you enjoyed your vacation.
Lynne

UPDATE 2/9/10
"Jenn,
I have only been able to ride Flashy Star AKA "Triscuit" once since Tues. when he arrived, but he is fabulous. Emmy has been sick in bed, so
Dean and I took him out and he was so calm and well behaved, I couldn't believe it! He actually took the lead in a new area, new ride, new rider
and never flinched. People, dogs, ducks, water, signs, trashcans, huge trees, and he never missed a beat. We are very happy. I feel so good
about putting Emmy up on him. She thinks he is beautiful and spent all Tues. evening at the ranch kissing him on the nose, which he also stood
patiently through."
Thanks and thanks, once again, for a great horse,
Lynne

Jack, Sarah and Smokey
Hey Jenn,
"This is Sarah, My grandpa bought Smokey form you. He just loves him, he really is a great horse. Thank you so much for helping us find him :)"
Thanks,
Sarah 2/26/10

Update 3/24/10
I have been riding Smokey on the trails 3 or 4 times a week since I bought him from you in Jan. and have been really enjoying him. Besides being
completely bombproof, he is a sweetheart and like a big puppy dog that craves affection. I absolutely love him.

Thank you for selling me such a wonderful horse,
Jack

Sandi and Lucky Spirit
"Hi Jenn……..I cannot believe so much time has elapsed since Lucky (now known as Panache) came to me and I have not written to you. I want
you to know he is the love of my life and we are true buddies in every way. I could not be more pleased. We are getting ready to get involved in
organized trail riding. I can no longer imagine being without him! Buying him sight unseen over the Internet was spooky (a little) but my gut told
me it would be okay and I am certainly glad I listened to my inner self this time."
Thanks again…..I always enjoy seeing what is new on your web site…I will send a picture when the weather turns and he is “spiffy clean”.
Sandi

Val, Mike and Chief
Hi Jenn,
" When I brought my husband over to try horses he was a bit apprehensive as he is still learning to ride. We followed your recommendation and
tried Chief. Chief was wonderful with my husband, displaying a patient, kind and willing attitude at all times. We have had him home about a
week now and he continues to be the perfect gentleman. We rode him out today in 35mph winds and he was wonderful. My husband loves him
and is gaining confidence with every ride. Obviously we are thrilled and would recommend your horses to anyone looking for a lovely, well
trained gaited horse."
Many thanks,

Val and Mike

Lesley and Contender
Hi Matt & Jenn,
Contenders first ride. We fit well together and he is very happy. I have to share with you the day I was trying my saddles on him. I have two
saddles and neither fit him so by the time I was done trying them out I had to just put them away. Well, he was not pleased at all, he thought he
was going to go for a ride. I thought this was very cute because you could tell he wasn’t happy LOL
He was very pleased to get moving today and he did sooooooo good. He was patient while I tried to figure out his cues. I found them and then
we rocked! He is a true pleasure and I can’t wait to get him outside; what a trusting sole he is.
Thank you so much again I’ve found my match
Lesley

Update: 7/17/10
"Hi Jenn,
Here is an updated picture of Contender and I. I call him Tommy now because he looks like a Tommy LOL
I’ve taken him on several trail rides and he’s awesome!!! Here we’re out on thousands of acres just clipping along having a good time.
He loves to get out. Thanks again soooo much I truly love him very much.
Lesley Woods"

Dear Jenn,
"I have to start off by saying, " I love this boy so much!". We are having so much fun together. I have taken him out several times and just enjoy
him more and more each time. I feel more confident on him now. He does spook at things, but he's not crazy. I have gotten off him a few times in
situations, but he's much braver the next time. I have started calling him Dakota because Gypsy just didn't fit him. I learned that Dakota means
friend to everyone and this seems more like him. I am so thankful to you that you were willing to give him up. I promise you he will have a
wonderful life where he is loved and taken great care of. I can't believe he just turned 4 in February. I am so excited of our long future together.
We are already in the process of drawing up plans to build a barn for him at our vacation home in Big Bear. I've gone out a lot with my husband,
daughter, and brother with them on their mountain bikes and it's so funny when they get out of sight, Dakota always winneys for them. He is so
cute. I will keep you posted. Thank you so much Jenn!"

Victoria and Dustani AKA Voo Doo Child
"Hi Jenn,
I just wanted to give you an update you on Voo Doo. I migrated his name to Voo Doo Dust, and then Dustani. He seems to like it, and everyone
says it fits him. So that is his new call-name. The first weekend I just led him around a lot, so he could get used to his new surroundings, and to
me and me to him. And he did very well.
The second weekend I had two round-pen lessons with him, both under saddle. That was when I felt my first true gait! He was awesome! And I
discovered he is very sensitive to both leg and hand cues and would do whatever I asked him to.
Even with my beginner hands. He was absolutely wonderful.
The third weekend, last weekend, I went on my first trail ride with him on Friday. There were four of us and two dogs. We rode on the side of a
quiet 2-lane street and then into the woods. He did very well with both the passing cars and the tight winding trail through trees. On Saturday
there were five of us, and we encountered the strangest obstacles you could imagine, and the most I’ve ever encountered on a horse: a fallen
birch tree we had to duck under like an arch, horses running in a nearby field, a long line of motorcycles, a long line of bicycles, high winds on a
ridge top, flapping “for-sale” signs, barking running dogs, a large clanking utility truck, huge white barrels lined up in a hay field, a garbage dump
filled with flapping plastic bags, strange looming farm equipment parked beside the trail, and two llamas. Dustani did great every single time. He
looked at each thing suspiciously, but then bravely walked right by. He is so cute they way he looks around with his ears cocked forward, he
really more curious than worried. The only time he spooked was when all of the other horses did first. And guess what it was for? A lady working
in her garden below us! Who would have guessed? lol It was funny. And he did not un-seat me or scare me at all.
On Sunday we went on a long trail ride (3 hours) to Crevasse Moraine (a beautiful mountain trail here), and he was just amazing (again!)!! He is so
easy to ride and so smooth; so trust-worthy. I am beginning to trust him. And I think we are becoming friends. He even nuzzled me after our ride.
I don’t know how you find these horses. It just seems like magic to me, but you did do it again with him. I wanted you to know that, and I wanted
you to know that I am happy.
So I guess I can say, “So far so good. Really better than good: Wonderful!!”
Thanks again, Jenn.

Melissa, Dorian and Jazz Lady
"Hi Jenn!
I just wanted to write you and let you know how much we enjoy Jazzy… she is such a wonderful horse!
She has really shown us what she can do up on the trails this last month or so and she is Dorians little pride and joy. LOL!
We can put the halter on her and lead her around while my little niece rides her or we can hop on and get one heck of a ride!
Thank you so much… we are very glad we have brought her into our family!
Oh and PS… since she loves Dorian so much, I have found if I give her some oats, she loves me just as much! ;)
Thanks,
Melissa"

Venus and Stormy
"Hey Jenn and Matt,

"I just wanted to shoot you an email and let you know how happy we are with Stormy. He is an absolute delight! I have been spending time with
him everyday and increasing my confidence and he hasn't gotten sick of me yet. We start our riding lessons on Monday and I am beyond excited.
Thanks so much for all your hospitality and letting us take our time to pick the perfect horse. I am so pleased that we bought from you guys.
You really do have a great operation and couldn't be more knowledgeable.
I wish you guys much success and we will definitely be back to buy a horse for Gordy!

Thanks again,
Venus Koski"

I really hold a lot of respect for you. We had some ups & downs
but you bending over backwards, is putting mildly!!!

I will w/love, spread the word for Dream Walker Ranch.

how to be a very compassionate person in life.
You are very caring for your horses and your people you deal with
You have made this ole' lady Very Very happy

Tanya and Bo
Hi Jenn and Christy,

Thought it was about time I wrote to you concerning Bo...love, love, love that boy! He is so sweet, willing and affectionate. We just got back from
a clinic we hold here on a regular basis. It has lots of things going on, car wash obstacles, a pit with plastic bottles to walk through, tarps and
poles. All of that plus every size and shape horse you can think of doing these things. Bo was awesome, he did everything, even in reverse. I
was so proud of him, nothing bothered him, not donkeys, spooky horses, nothing. Thank you so much...
Again, I love my new boy...

Feliz and Sterling
"Hello, Jen! I want to bring you up to date on my gelding that I bought from you last summer, "Lite Nite" AKA "Johnny Cash" AKA "Sterling" (which
is what I call him). He is growing up a little; he stands a tad over 14.2, now, nearly an inch taller than last year, and as you can see in the attached
pictures, he is filling out/getting fat (!) and beginning to look like the descendant of world champions that he is. He has turned out to be the
perfect horse for me in so many ways. Let me try to condense my experiences of these last 10 months for you:

In August, I learned I have diabetes very badly. I am still struggling to try to stabilize my system but it's tougher than ever, now, because the
following March, I learned I have inflammatory breast cancer, a rather rare and aggressive type, already at Stage III when it was discovered.
Meanwhile, three weeks before that, I broke my right wrist while unloading hay from my pickup--for the first time in my whole career, I didn't get
the point of the hay hook under the baling twine before I put all I had into trying to pull the bale off the truck. The wrist is healed, now, and I have
95% motion and about 40% strength back in that hand and arm.

I've finished the first phase of chemotherapy, had three weeks of rest, and am just starting Phase Two. It has been hell on skids. For two
months, I had 6 hours of treatment every two weeks which resulted in 10 days of crippling fatigue, nausea, etc. out of every 14. Phase Two
promises to be easier, but it's a little early to be sure. Around the end of this coming September, I will undergo a double mastectomy. After that,
I'll got through Phase III of the chemo which will last another entire year. And THEN, they plan to hit me with radiation, although what will be left
to radiate is a question!

Anyway, once at the end of this last May and twice this June, I've felt well enough for an hour or two to be able to get back into the saddle.
Sterling had no work of any kind from the end of February, on. But he acted as if someone had been training him for me the whole time! He was
as near to perfect as a 4-yr-old colt could possibly be. And he continues to be a love, as you can see in picture #62. He and his pasturemate, the
little black mare, Noche, have bonded strongly and get along famously. She's a little tough on him when she's in heat, but nothing serious. It is
picture #63 that shows you how delighted I am with him. I feel very fortunate to have such a super horse. And believe me, I fully intend to still be
riding him ten years from now! He is a comfort and an inspiration. Thank you for your part in linking me up with this incredible colt! Hope things
are going well with you.
Saludos! Feliz "
