Horses that I've trained & shown
Smukluster
1987, Chestnut Trakehner gelding, 16.3 hands; Sire: Kalluster; Dam: Stephanie. I have owned
Smukster since he was 5 years old. He had been shown Training and a little First Level when I
bought him. From there, we competed through Intermediare 1 and won several year-end
awards as well as MidWest Championship titles. He is partially retired now, but still is ridden
many times a week. His complete show record is available below.

Vodka
1991, Chestnut Swedish Warmblood gelding, 17.1 hands; Sire: Vivaldi; Dam: Nirosa.
Vodka was originally born in Sweden then imported to the United States as a youngster.
His original training was done by FEI rider and trainer, Michael Poulin. He was then sold
and put into training with Teresa Butta from Maryland. Teresa and I stabled at the same
farm one winter in Florida, and Vodka was for sale, so I bought him and brought him home
in March of 2006. We showed at PSG, Intermediare 1 and Intermediare 2 during the
summer of 2006. During the summer of 2007, we showed Grand Prix (a new adventure in
the show ring for both of us!) and ended the season achieving our USDF Gold Medal.

Dakodiak
1990, Stawberry Roan, Hanoverian gelding, 17.2 hands; Sire: Dederick; Dam: Sinphonie. I
originally bought Kody when he was 6 years old from Hokan Thorn. He had been bred by
Joyce Hardesty, KS. Kody had been shown some Training Level when I bought him, but he
was so large and clumsy that we needed more work in that department! Kody moved
through the levels quite slowly, but we did show very sucessfully through Fourth level. Kody
coliked in October of 2007. His complete show record will be available soon.

Buckshott H
1993 Black Appaloosa Stallion; 16.0 hands. Sire: Shot Gun H; Dam: Southerncomfort H.
Buckshott was a stallion discovered in a mud paddock in South Dakota by Christine
Marvill. Buckshott had the best personality! You wouldn't know that he was a stallion by his
behavior. He came to me green broke as a Western horse. I worked with him from May,
2004 through October, 2006. Buckshott attended his first dressage show in Wellington, FL
in February, 2005 where he handled the excitement of the show atmosphere like a pro! He
went on to show extensively the summer of 2005. He went home to breed in the winter of
2006, but came back to continue training and show some in the summer of 2006. His
achievements are listed below. Buckshott died suddenly in May, 2007 of EPM.
