Western Style My own style Dressage style Its been about 15 years since I purchased my first Friesian filly and created Stoney Wood Friesians. It has been a wonderful part of my life and I've met so many great friends through my love of these horses. I spent many years as a breeder here in Northern California, and wrote two books about Friesians. In 2005, I rode my Friesian gelding, Mentor, to my bronze medal in dressage.
I have three Friesian mares (Rayna, Veri and Lugana) as well as an Andalusian cross gelding (Grady). I just love the baroque breeds! In May 2010 I purchased an FEI schoolmaster (Anthem) who helped me achieve my silver medal in dressage. I am also fortunate to have a Belgian mare named Bella. She came from a rescue situation and made a remarkable recovery. Much of my riding time is spent on the trails and I have developed a great appreciation for the excellent trail system in Northern California and intend to explore as much of it by horseback as I can.
To support my "horse habit", I work as an independent consultant for the State of California. I share my renovated 1934 farm house with three playful dogs. I spend my spare time at Lake Folsom, visiting Mexico and Tahoe, camping with friends and doing projects around the property.
