Demitasse (Blackie), my first horse, was 16, and I was 10.  He was a mustang with a dent in his left front shoulder.  He had been Nor Cal Champion Jr. Jumper age 15 - 17 for two years with his previous owner, Cyndal.  He was a great first horse with a lot of personality.


Lady was a beautiful QH TB cross.  This is the only photo of her before she foundered.  She liked cherries and coca cola, and would frequently eat my lunch.


Sea Flirt (Flirt) at Santa Rosa from 1972 - 75.  She was purchased from Laurie Freeman Swanson at age 4.  She was 1/2 sister to Paper Profit - both by the legendary stallion War Flirt, by War Admiral, well known for producing many top hunters and jumpers.  Flirt was a great horse.


Paper Profit (Profit)  by War Flirt out of Romaha by Buster.  Profit was a once in a lifetime horse.  She helped me to two Pacific Coast year end Championships and three NorCal Championships - in one year.  You could win a jumper class, strip the boots off, and go win in the hunter or equitation ring.  She had three live foals, Heidi (Hidden Profit), who became a polo pony, Chase (Profit's Chase), who became my broodmare and has been a quality lesson horse for many years, and Pinky (Profit Parity), who became an eventer for Anna Collier. 


Misha, the first colt I started.  This mare jumped the garden fence where she lived.  They ended up giving her to me, when her forays into the garden continued.  She was sold to Leslie Bierly and was Megan Garcia's pony hunter Rhumba.


Mattie, owned by the late Richard Campbell.  He found her at Portland Meadows.
Taken in 1988 at one of the last Country Classics to be held at Inchinnan Farm.


Davy at The Tom Dorrance Clinic in Hillsboro in 1989.
One of many colts I rode that were owned and raised by Richard Campbell.
He was sold and became Crocket, a well known grand prix jumper.
