Tigger Too

|
Eric, I have had the
best time riding this week, better than I've had in
a long time. Let me start at the beginning. In
March, we were on our way, from
southwest Virginia, to bring home a horse
that I had already bought and paid you for. The
transmission went out on the truck and I didn't have
the money to fix it and buy a horse at the same
time. Out of the goodness of your heart you
sent me ALL my money back that I had paid for that
horse. In July, when we recouped from that
financial outpouring, we set out again. We came
home with Jewel, a gorgeous palomino. He was
EVERYTHING you said, but when most people describe a
horse as 'laid back', maybe he is or maybe he
isn't. Jewel was very quiet and gentle, he was a
great horse for total beginners or kids to ride or
learn on. But I wanted a little more forward
movement from a horse. I called & spoke at length
with you, and, of course, you had the exact horse
that I needed. You were more than willing to let me
exchange Jewell for Tigger, all I needed to do was
make another trip back to KY. I like to look at
EVERY horse available, but you kept telling me that
Tigger was the horse for me. We went out on the
trails at your farm, and YOU WERE RIGHT!! Since I
have had Tigger home, riding him has been
fantastic! I am very active in Mounted Search &
Rescue, and I compete in TREC events, and he is well
suited for both activities. He is alert in the
woods; he sees owls, deer & hunters before I do. He
isn't the least bit spooky, and is close to
bombproof. I just need to read him better so I
can utilize his capabilities fully in rescue missons. He
has been great in every way and you have went above
and beyond what I would have expected from you as a
horse dealer. Thanks again for knowing the best
horse for me you always pick the winners! Ann

Jose's Magneto

|
Hi Eric –
I just wanted to give
you a quick update about Jose’s Magneto (now called Rio
). He has adjusted well to life in
Illinois!
He has figured out his place in the herd and he is not
the last one in the pecking order. You were right about
his friendliness – I have no problems catching him. He
is a very curious horse. We’ve been out on the trails
which you can tell he loves, but sense it is cold, we
are also doing some arena riding– new for both of us.
You were totally right – Rio is a good match for me.
Thanks, Melissa IL

Kings Ransom

|
Dear Eric,
King is AWESOME!!! He has the best
personality, always calm, NEVER pushy and always loving!
We have been trail riding a whole lot, just about every
weekend and he handles himself great! He is only 3
years old but just as you said he is wise beyond his
years and he acts like and old horse. The only
problem that I have had sense purchasing King is keeping
my husband off of him! As he loves to ride King
too. Sometimes I have to "fight" for my horse!
I was seriously injured two years ago on my old horse.
The doctors told me they wasn't sure that I would ever
ride again. But with time and 2 surgeries later I
was ready to try again and the whole time I was laid off
I kept watching your website. I knew that when I
started back that my next horse would come from you!
I needed something that was very calm, really smooth,
and super safe, as I couldn't afford any spills.
King has been everything that I wanted and needed.
Thank you for making my dreams come true and for picking
out for me such a safe and wonderful horse!
Thanks,
Sherry, Ohio |

Parkers Class Act

Trigger Man

Gen's Silverado

|
Dear Eric,
All of our horses are doing really well
and we love everyone of them. We have owned so
many horses in the past that other dealers sold us and
they were never as advertised. But with every
horse that we have gotten from you, we have had nothing
but positive things to say about and they have all been
exactly as you said they were. Trigger was my
birthday present, Silverado came a few months later.
Then Smokey and when I was Parker, I was in love!
We have a great group of horses and we appreciate
everything especially your honestly!
Thanks, Randy and

The Magic Man

|
Hi Eric, It has
been a little over eight months since Magic Man’s
arrival, so enough time has passed to get to know him
and therefore accurately describe him. From the day of
his delivery he has been nothing but a gentleman with a
calm, gentle, curious and willing nature. He
immediately settled into his new home – if he was
nervous or anxious it was not evident. From day one he
has exhibited such a sweet disposition and truly enjoys
the company and attention of his 2 legged care takers.
He loves to be made over and begs to be the center of
attention. When I contacted you I told you that I
required a seasoned horse that would happily ride the
trails solo and he does so without incident. Like you
said, you point his head and he will go – a buddy horse
is not a requirement for an enjoyable ride. I’ve also
ridden him on the local country roads and with the
exception of the extra large, orange diesel tractors, he
passes traffic as though nothing is there. As you may
recall, this was my first
gaited horse. His queues and commands were no so
different than my experience with the western, Arabian
world, so I had few things to learn. Magic has been a
patient, forgiving gentleman. The teaching has worked
in both directions, as I wanted him to be able to back.
He mastered this new assignment within a few days. You
disclosed his only “issue” -that he would walk off
while mounting. But that is his only issue and that was
successfully addressed with a mounting block for which
he stands perfect for. I’ve also changed saddles and
that too has contributed to his willingness to stand.
He calmly stands for the farrier and vet, crosses
water, carefully navigates steep inclines, approaches
you in the pasture, comes when he is called, follows you
around in the corral and gets along well with my other
horse. He has done nothing that would disappoint me or
shake my trust in him. He’s a jewel – I wouldn’t take
any amount of money for him. As my husband says, the
smile never leaves my face when I’m in the company of
Magic Man. Thanks for providing me with a countless
supply of “Magical
Moments”. When I’m in the market for another
horse I will definitely look to you as Magic is just
what I was looking for and you portrayed him just as he
is. Job well done – thank you.

Super Socks

|
Hi Eric,
Just thought I would
update you on how Super Socks and I (Pam from
MA) are getting along. We went on our first camping
trip a couple of weeks ago and he did really good.
He was definitely a
little trooper. I have to tell you when we were going
up
Magic Mountain he got a little stuck, because
it was so steep, and he ended up on his tippey
toes(hooves), which made me a little nervous, but he
was trying with all his might to pull us up that hill,
and he did it. All my friends who seen it, was amazed
that he didn't end up flat on his face. They all told
me he definitely is a keeper because he didn't panic
in that situation. I was smiling because we made it up
there. LOL! I'm sure we are going to see a lot
of camping trips together.
Eric I just want to
thank you again. If I ever need another horse, I know
who to do business with!
Thank You,
Pam from MA

Henry's Golden Boy

|
Dear Eric,
Henry has been a dream for us! Everything about
him has been dead on with how you described him to us.
He has grown to love us and comes to me everything I go
to the pasture. He gets along with my husband's
horse just fine. His gaits are extremely smooth
and he rides on a loose rein, which I love! He is
fearless on the trails and even at the young age of 4,
he has consistently out preformed all my friend's 8 to
12 year old horses and on many occasions Henry had to be
the leader in order to help get my friend's horses past
scary obstacles which never phased Henry.
Although all my friends said that I needed a teenage
horse, because I am a novice rider, Henry has proven
them wrong time and time again. I guess the
biggest leap of faith, was me buying him over the phone
without actually looking at him first. But I see
now that it was really the sure bet and he has been
perfect everywhere that I have taken him and he has done
all that I have asked of him. He has been great
and I owe all the credit to you guys for picking him out
for me! By the way Mr. Dotson, your all's
shippers, were great! Thanks,
Jeri SC |

Eric & Roy:
Molly & Thunder are doing great. We really enjoy
riding them together. We've been to
Whitewater State Park (Liberty, IN) and several
times to Midwest Trail Rides (Norman, IN) by the
Hoosier National Forest. They have done great
everywhere that we have took them.
Thanks so much for your patience in helping us select
the right horses. David and Peggy, IN

Eric, It has been over 2 years
sense I have bought my first horse from you and that one
has sense been followed up my many more. I have
not yet met you in person but I have a great deal of
respect for you. Every horse that I have bought
from you have all been bought right over the phone.
I have bought a lot of horses in my life from many
different dealers and individuals. I have found
out that individuals don't see the flaws in their horses
and that most dealers overlook or "forget" to tell me
about the flaws but focus on the good points. But
it has always been different with you! As we all
know their has never been a perfect horse and you have
always told me that. As we have talked over and
over again you have told me the good and the bad points
to each and every horse that I have contacted you about.
Now all I have to do is call and say is he for me and it
is either a yes or no from you that determines it on my
end. As I have bought 5 horses from you now and
all 5 have worked out great for me and my family.
We have trail ridden them and every horse has been dead
on how you described them. I am always looking for
a new horse to bring down and as a result I have had to
relocate a couple to keep from having to hire a farm
manager. One last thing that always makes me
smile... EVERY time I call you I can always hear the
hoof beats in the background as we talk on the phone
while you are out riding.
I like to listen in and hear the quality horses in the making!
Honestly, do you ever stop riding? But I just
wanted to drop you a quick note and thank you for the
great horses.
Thanks,

Champs EZ as ABC

|
Hi Eric,
I have been meaning to write to you about Champ...
You know the beginning so I will tell you the happy
end of the story, which is... that Champ is the best
horse that I have ever had! When I go on a
trail ride, or need a horse I can trust, he is
my choice every time, not to mention how beautiful he
is.
He and I have bonded, and he has his forever home
here with me! I just wanted you to know, that
all is well with Champ and I. Now you have the
whole story straight from the horse's mouth, so to
speak! You were right in everyway about him, and
you sold me a great horse that matched me well. He is
the perfect horse for me no doubt about it!!
I knew I owed you this letter, after all you have done
for me. Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Linda, NC

Mr.Blockbuster

Hi Eric
Thought I'd let you know we made it back to
Wisconsin with Buster just fine. He did great on
the trip, we stopped and watered him and made sure he
had plenty of hay. I can't believe how nice of a horse
he is and only four years old. I really enjoyed
going out on trails with him, we had a good time riding
around the arena, I like to just brush him and he loves
it too, took him for a walk with me like he was my puppy
and I even went for a nice trail ride with my daughter,
that was great, and that was the first one in a few
years. He has proven him self to be everything that you
told me he was! He loves attention, is so slow and
easy, never hyper or in a hurry about anything, he has a
nice gait, he is bombproof, and he is my dream come
true! He is the perfect horse and YOU picked out a
REAL WINNER for me!!! Thanks for all your help.

Hi Eric !
I am very grateful to you guys for sending me Painter,
he is one neat horse! He is great in everyway, sweet,
smooth gait, not spooky, and trail savvy! I haven't had
so much fun on a horse in many, many years. I
appreciate everything!
Thank you so much !

Mr. Deeds

|
Eric, I just wanted to let
you know how much I appreciate what you did for
Mr. Deeds (aka Dillon) and me. He’s wonderful!
After dealing with one of your top competitors and
believing I was bringing home my “dream horse” I was
very disappointed to say the least! They did honor
their return policy but I was told they had only one
other horse that would be suitable for me and that it
was my only option. Again, I was very disappointed. I
was ready to give up. I’ve monitored your web site for
years so I thought I’d try one more time and I’m so glad
I did! I e-mailed you my criteria and you chose several
for me to look at. It was a miserably hot day when I
came but you didn’t make me feel rushed in any way and
waited patiently as I looked at each horse. Dillon was
not the first I tried but when I rode him it felt
right. I did a little ground work with him and could
tell he had been well trained. I explained my dilemma
and you and Jason really worked with me on a trade-deal
that was equitable for both of us. I also want to say a
great big THANK YOU to your dad for meeting me halfway
to make the exchange. I can’t say enough good things
about Dillon’s personality. He’s very friendly and
loves attention but he’s not “in your face” and is
always respectful of my space. When I go out in the
field he’s always the first to come see what I’m doing.
He follows me around like a puppy. Unfortunately,
weather being what it is in Indiana, too wet or
unbearably hot and humid we haven’t been out on the
trails as much as I’d like but the few times we have
been out Dillon has behaved
exactly
as you said he would. After my previous experience I
must admit I was skeptical but your description of his
behavior couldn’t have been more accurate. He’s not
perfect but I think he’s pretty darn close. He’s
exactly what I’d been looking for. I’ve wished many
times I’d come to you first. I’ll continue to check
your web site and if I ever need another horse you’ll be
the first person I contact. Again, thanks a million! Nancy - Indiana
UPDATE:
Eric, Just
thought I’d give you a little update on Dillon (aka Mr.
Deeds). I took him to southern Indiana last weekend to
the annual Indiana Trail Riders camping weekend. He was
an absolute dream!!! The place was bustling and he
wasn’t a bit concerned. He stood quietly in his stall
and just took in all the sights. He was one of the most
well-behaved horses there. We had a severe thunderstorm
along with a tornado warning one night. We had to leave
the horses to go to the shower house for protection and
when we returned he was quietly munching on the hay that
hadn’t blown away. Out on the trails, which were kind
of muddy in places, he didn't hesitated to go through or
around anything. Most of the time he was the group’s
leader. I also took him to the extreme cowboy obstacle
course. Most obstacles didn’t phase him in the least
bit. The wooden bridge took a few passes then he was
walking right up on and over it with no hesitation. His
crowning moment, however, was when he went through the
frame that had vinyl strips hanging from it and he went
through it was no problem. We walked back and forth
through it several times. None of the other horses we
were with would do it. I was SO proud of him! I just
couldn’t be happier with Dillon! He’s one in a
million! Thanks again! Nancy |

Roan Suns Sierra

Rockstar's Showstopper

Annie Oakley

|
Hello. I hope you
and your family are doing well. We
purchased for our daughter, Katie, Roan's Sun Sierra I
guess it's been over a year ago now. I wanted to
just send you a note and let you know that Sierra is
great, he follows her around like a dog. Sierra
has been the best horse ever for her. She rides
him everywhere and he will run to the gate whenever she
calls him and sometimes just when she drives down to the
barn. He will go anywhere on the trails and never
spooks. She just loves him, in fact, the whole family
loves him!
So because the horse was EXACTLY as you described he was
and you were totally honest with us, my way of thanking
you was to send friends to you. You sold Titan and
Annie to The Alexanders and my other daughter Sarah came
with The Alexanders for that purchase. They are
both delighted with their purchases and both Titan and
Annie are riding great for them. They were from
Anderson, South Carolina. Then you
sold another horse, a buckskin Kentucky mountain horse
named Rockstar to Chris and Robbie Hendricks of Clayton
and they love him as well. I'll try and send
you some more business!
Keep doing what you are doing because you have a good
thing going! Everyone down here loves all their
horses and mules that they have gotten from you!
Thanks, Dana-GA

Blazes Magician

|
Dear Adams Horse and Mule Co., On May
26, 2008, we purchased a horse named Blazes Magician.
Although he is just a 3 year old he has proven to us to
be as close to bombproof as any horse that I have saw.
He rides perfect on trails, leads, follows, or will
leave the crowd. He has a very mild temperament, a
sweet disposition, he gaits perfectly, and is
always quiet. We have had him on numerous trail
rides and he has preformed EXACTLY as he was described
to do. He walks when I ask and goes when I ask, he
is easy to catch and handle. He trailers just fine
as well. He is a top of the line horse which is
exactly what I was looking for and he was exactly as you
said he was. I appreciate everything! I will send
everyone your way that I can!
Thank You- Larry and Joy |

Voodoo's Lil Rascal

|
Eric, Just a note to tell you that
Rascal is doing great. He is really a nice fit for
me. Thanks so much for recommending him. We are
camping this weekend with a group and their horses.
I know he will do well as he has so far. I do have
one fear that someone will come along in the night
and steal him off the high line!!! He is just so darn
pretty I get admiring looks where ever I ride him.
I am going to have to lock him up in order to keep
him! I appreciate everything!
Thanks again. God Bless. Barb
UPDATE:
I wanted you to know that Rascal has
helped me gain back my confidence. He is a really
super nice young horse. We have ridden many a mile
over some real rough terrain and he does very well.
I know he was just what I needed to get me back on
track after my last horse. My grandson just arrived
in
Iraq and riding Rascal keeps my mind focused on
something other than that. My daughter in law is
still undergoing her chemo treatments. I really
think that having the horses keeps both my husband I
from worrying ourselves to death. I guess you
could say Rascal is my lifesaver!
Thanks for hooking me up with Rascal.
God Bless. Barb

Lil' Romeo

|
Eric,
Just a short note to let you know how Romeo is doing. I have
been riding him 3-4 times a week around the farm and he
has been doing wonderful. As you know I need a
step/box to get on a horse and he stands perfectly still
for me to get on and off. He is just a
pleasure to have on the farm and he is exactly like you
described him.
One morning last week Steve went to the barn and there was a buck,
doe and fawns eating grass in Romeo's pasture and he was
in the middle of them grazing away. He is such a
sweet horse!
I made the mistake of buying from one of your competitors sight unseen
and what I got was a horse that was very nervous, snorty
and spooky; it was advertised as gentle and beginner
safe and was just the opposite. It was so hard to
handle that I was afraid to even try to ride it! I wish
I had came to you first! But Romeo is everything I
expected him to be and I am thrilled with him!
Thanks again for all you, Jay and your Dad did for us it
was truly appreciated. The saddle works great - I had to
get a shorter cinch because of the drop down
rigging. It's a comfortable saddle and works well.
God's Blessing to you and your family,
Steve & Liz- NY

Walkin After Midnight

|
Eric & Roy,
Well we are all home safe and sound.
Midnight and Mischief
are doing well together. They have their little pecking
order battles here and there. Mischief of course
starting the ties' and like by you Midnight takes it
with a grain of salt and
walks away. Midnight is a great horse and manages well
for a 3 year old. We are thrilled with the way he was
on our mini-vacation. People we rode with were also
surprised with him being moved around and then being a
perfect gentlemen on the trail. We were impressed how
well he adapted to the different places we took him on
our way back home from picking him up from you. Charlie
and I wanted to thank the both of you for all you did
for us. Midnight is a total pleasure to have and is a
loved member of our family.
Thanks again for everything!
Charlie and Lillian-

JL's Popeye

|
Good Morning, Eric. I just wanted to let you
know that all is well here. Popeye is great, he is
beautiful and he is much better than I could have ever
hoped for! He is worth twice what I paid for him
but he is priceless to me and not for sale at any
price!!! He is doing well with the other horses
and getting along great. I wanted to let you know
that I will highly recommend you to all of my friends!!!
Thanks,
Linda- SC |

I'm Amos Moses

|
Hi Eric:
I rode him once this week and he was soooooo happy to be
out. He marched confidently right down the road with
another horse behind him, no problem. Baking dogs,
garbage trucks - not an issue. He went right into the
woods and was a happy camper. He stopped at the crest
of a steep slope and did not want to proceed. He was
right!!! His saddle had slipped so far back I was
almost sitting on his rump so I guess he was off
balance. I dismounted, reset the saddle and he stood
perfectly. People are "wowed" by these horses up
here and I would love to promote the breed to bring more
of your gorgeous horses to the area.
When I was done with resetting the saddle, I got back on
and down he went happily forward. He is so broke and
well mannered! On the way home, he led without a blink.
He is an ANGEL, and a perfect gentleman. I couldn't be
happier with him and he is EXACTLY as you described him.
THANK YOU FOR SELECTING AND SENDING ME
THIS GLORIOUS, SWEET CREATURE! If I could ever manage
enough riding time for a second horse, I would not feel
the need to come down to Mt. Vernon as I am totally
confident that you would send me the perfect horse
again, although I sure did enjoy being at your farm and
meeting you and your family. Tucker is the most
beloved and appreciated horse in the state of New York!
Many thanks to you, Eric. Talk to you as soon.

Champs Chance

|
Eric,
I wanted to let you
know I love Chance! He has convinced me
gaited horses are the way to go. He is very good
natured, does stand still for anything needed, and has
been easy to catch, saddle and ride. I love the bridle
too. He has shied from very few things if I ride by
myself or at the front on a trail ride. He doesn’t worry
about anything when he follows other horses and did
great on a trail ride this weekend. I know with more
time in the saddle he’ll trust me even more. I’ve gotten
lots of compliments on him and I am really happy! One
day maybe we’ll make it to Kentucky. He is a great
match for me and I really love this guy!
Thanks,
Gail Gane

Pushers Night Prowling

Thunders Slick Bandit

|
Hey Eric, Today is our 1 year
anniversary of buying Prowler and Tramp from you.
It has been a year full of fun and learning!
Thought I would just give you a quick update...
Prowler is my horse. It was love at first sight!
He has really bonded with me and follows me around like
puppy! He looks to me for comfort anytime that
something startles him, if I am leading him he will put
his forehead on my stomach, if I am riding him he will
turn and put his nose on my leg and it calm him right
down. He is very sensible and doesn't freak out at
things. He is turning into my dream horse and is
getting even more beautiful as he matures. Tramp
and Cliff has bonded very well, and their is not a mean
bone is Tramps body. We have made these horses our
babies and they are now part of the family.
Anyways thank you for finding them for us, they have a
home forever!
Thanks,
Sheila Scale

Aces Beat Vegas

Prides Rockin Midnight

Hi Eric,
I just wanted to let you know our horses arrived safely.
We have been riding them all over the trails near our
house already. They are absolutely wonderful,
exactly like you represented him. Very calm and
spook free, confident on the trails and the road.
They are quite a head-turning pair.
Great smooth gaits (my 1st
gaited horse). Donna and I are very
satisfied with your shippers. I was sort of
nervous buying a horse over the internet without looking
at it first, but you have been 100% honest and very
helpful the whole way.
Thanks again,

Phat Freddy

Ringo Fire

Rage of Many Colors

|
Dear Eric, I cant believe
that I am finally writing this to you. I saw all
the testimonials on your website but just figured that I
would never be that happy! But now that we have had the
guys for a while I just had to drop you a note and tell
you that our horses are doing great! they are
everything that you promised that they would be and they
have went beyond our expectations! I love my boy
Big Fats, as I call him. Polly is doing fine with
Ringo and my son CJ is in love with Rage! You
really know what you are doing down there and we are
firm believes in your training. It is so clear
that you all have worked with these horses as they all
ride just like you told us they would. They are
very much in tune to what we want them to do as the
rider and they are eager to please us. We have had
the 3 boys on a few rides and they have done perfect for
us. Freddy is a great leader, Ringo likes to lag
behind and Rage keeps up with me. They bathed,
trailered, and picketed great for us. We just
can't believe that you all matched us up so well.
I like the way Freddy is built so he can carry a big guy
like me. Polly needed a slimmer shorter horse so
she can get on without any problems and CJ needed
something that would take care of him as he has not
ridden much before he got Rage. You have 3 totally
satisfied customers down here and we just wanted to
thank you all so much for all you have done for us.
Thanks, The
Puttmans, Tennessee |

Prides Midnight Shadows

Eric, Ranger
and Shadow have adjusted well, they are not running
around tearing up my fields and they are just good
gentle souls. I've already had to cut down their feed
because of the grass turnout. I've put them in
trailers, bathed them and had them meet other horses
... with no problems at all. If you ever need a
reference, please let me know!
My girlfriend and I took a
ride at sunset yesterday on my guys...
(Ranger's name is now Johnny Walker Red - sorry) and she could not stop
raving about how smooth the ride was. Everything
is going great and thank you so much for being so
honest! I will keep you updated!
Thanks,

Apache Star

Alpha's Dream Keeper

|
Dear Eric,
I have spent nearly 7 hours straight with Alpha's
Dream Keeper, and Apache Star. In those hours I have
come to the firm conclusion that you and your Dad
should, without a doubt in my mind, be guests on the
Larry King Live, and Opra Winfrey shows, for being top
in your field, and true to your word. You have been
110% honest with me in everyway about these horses who
are my new babies! They ride great, are so
friendly, and words can't describe their looks!
I am totally satisfied in everyway and I will tell
everyone about you all.
With highest regards,
Elizabeth Tyson
UPDATE:
Dear Eric,
Truth be told, and it's about to be; Apache Star and
Dreamer rides more smoothly than my parent's Jaguar
sports car! If I had an egg in a spoon while
riding him, I would wager that egg would remain
safely in the spoon. Riding Apache Star and Dreamer
is more interesting to me than taking a cruise to
anywhere on this planet. If any of your customers
have some lbs. to lose, purchasing a horse from you
will become the solution to that. Guaranteed they
are going to want to ride more than munch and eat...
ha ha!!! The saddle you sold me is drop dead
gorgeous, fits them perfectly and very reasonably
priced. And that you took the trouble to actually
fit the saddle to my horse, is a service to me that
not only saved time, but also a possible costly
mistake to my horse's back, and to me.
Take care,
Elizabeth Tyson

Gold Nugget

Mikey Be Brave

Hi Eric
I just want to tell you how much you have help me out
with my horses. I just wanted to tell you how
Nugget is doing... he is settling in to his new home
very well him and Macky gets along wonderfully just
like you said they would. He is very gentle and easy
going. You said he was a little lazy adn I love
that about him. He is very patient with me as I
make so many mistakes but he is always understanding
of those.
I had him on a trail ride in Georgetown and he rode
perfect! never spooked at anything and he took
me down the trail in style and was sooo smooth!
He has a lot of speed which I wanted but he also rides
on a loose rein which I had to have!
Thanks a lot I love both of them that I got from you.
You all are the best!
Thanks Ann from
Paris

Pumpkins 101 Dalmatians

|
Hi Eric, Pumpkin is doing great and he
is settling in more and more each day. He is the
very calm, gentle natured, sweet personality type horse
that you described to me and he is everything that I
expected that he would be. I am very very happy
that I have him to love and care for. I appreciate
all the help you gave me, in pointing me the right
direction with Pumpkin!
Thanks,
Ginny Stanley-Florida

Bugs Bunny

|
hey Eric, Bugs is
doing great. We just love him. I think he likes it
here too. He gets fussed over constantly. We went
for a nice trail ride today and it was great as
always. I'm trying to talk my husband into getting
another horse for him to ride with me. We'll see.
Thanks again for everything.
Mitzi-New York P.S.
Your
horse transport guys was really nice.

I'm The Goldman

|
Hi Eric,
Thought I'd check in with you. Goldman, who is now
called Dolce, had a very tumultuous trip to California.
I know you spoke with the shipper, but they were in the
middle of those horrible tornados that struck this
spring. Louis, the horse shipper, said he was listening
to the radio while on the road and heard the forecast
change from tornado watch to a full blown tornado
warning - take cover. Turns out the horses spent 3 days
holed up in a stable in Kansas while the storms
passed. When Louis went to pick them up the area was
flooded and he had to lead each one out about a quarter
mile through 3 foot deep flood water. I wish things had
not have went like that but you can't change the
weather! The shipper said they were all good horses and
held up quite well. When Dolce arrived he had been
on the road about a week and had dropped a little
weight. Didn't seem to bother him much except for a
little rain rot. A few days of Betadine wash took care
of that. He is AWESOME on the trails. Gaits wonderfully,
is very bold, yet very supple. Everyone has been
quite impressed!!! Unfortunately I had a (non horse
related) accident and broke my ankle recently, so Dolce
is waiting patiently for work (what a disappointment). I
will begin some heavy duty ground schooling as soon as I
get into a walking cast. I figure I should be able to
teach him a lot, as well as lots of tricks as he is a
very quick study and a clever boy. I figure by the time
I can ride again he will be very schooled on the ground.
I am a natural horsemanship follower, so I have plenty
of fun things to do.
Thanks,
Jeri, California
UPDATE:
Hi Eric,
I just wanted to check in and let you know what a great
time I'm having on
Dolce. He is a BLAST. He goes wherever I point
him and can rack faster than my friends can canter on
their non-gaited horses. I'm sold!
If you ever want to open a
California branch...talk to me!

Shoot The Thrill

Shake Rattle N Roll

|
Eric,
Shooter is doing great! We
have took him on a few trail rides and he has done
wonderful. He goes anywhere that we ask him to go,
he is fearless of everything, he is a great leader but
will also follow so that I can stay back and ride with
my daughter as she is riding Shaker which we also got
from you. We have had Shooter at some shows and he
has also rode perfect there as well. He is
everything that you promised that he would be and we are
very well pleased with him and Shaker!
Eric, Shaker
is doing great! He is everything that you said he
would be and a whole lot more. Our 9 year old
daughter rides him everywhere she wants to go! She
has had him at several shows, on numerous large trail
rides and she handles Shaker with ease. He has not
given her a minutes problem about anything. You
should see them together, Shaker is so in tune to do
what she wants him too do. She walks out in the
pasture and catches him anytime that she wants to, he
stands for her to mount, rides on a loose rein and is
always patient with her! You done a great job at
matching them up together and we appreciate it so much!
You all are the best! Thanks,
The Sloan's, Kentucky |

Dancers Mountain Gold

|
Eric:
I just wanted to let you know how very much we are
enjoying Dancer (aka Buck). We gave him several
days to settle in and then I rode him the first few
times. Dick rode him in our indoor ring last
night. Dick is still a little cautious and prefers
to just go around at a walk until he feels more
comfortable with Buck but I think his confidence will
build quickly since
Buck is so well behaved. He travelled
quietly travelling here to our farm and since he's been
here has been friendly and cooperative. He is
beginning to make friends with several of our horses.
Currently he is turned out with our old mare and
yearling filly. My gelding is away for several
month's
training but will be joining Buck in the pasture in
July. We want to thank you for the solid training
you gave him.....I'm sure he'll make a great trail
partner for Dick.
Thanks again.
Cordially,

Eagle Eye

Sunny's Goldmine

|
Eric,
Just wanted to drop you
an email and let you know that Eagle is working out
great!!!
He is such
a pleasure to be around and is exactly as you
described him to be!!! He is low man in the field and
is GREAT in the saddle. Your father described him as
getting smoother the longer you ride him and that is
true as well. He is fine
when I first get on him,
he is calm, and he just gets better and better every
time I ride him. Both horses here that came from you
are doing great. They are all around great horses.
We will soon be in the market for another one and we
will definitely be watching your site for new and up
and comings.
Thanks,
Carrie Smiley

Good morning
Eric. I just had to write and tell you about
Sunny. I rode him yesterday for about 4 hours. HE
IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!!! How do you do it? You
seem to have the knack to put the right horse with
the right person. Sunny is as gentle as my standard
poodle, maybe even a little more gentle, at least he
doesn't want to jump on everyone! He's so tall and
my legs are so short I have to stand on a hay bale
to get on him, he walks right up to the hay bale
stands perfectly still and lets me get on.
He made the
ride home perfectly, it was dark when we got here so
unfortunately I wasn't able to turn him out with his
new friend Romeo until the next day (and by the way,
they got along GREAT, no fighting AT ALL!! I knew
that was going to be a good sign.) The first day
after letting him out to pasture, he still walked up
to me and let me put his halter on and off several
times. He followed me around the field just like a
puppy.
I can't express
to you how much I appreciate your honesty, training
abilities, and intuition. I think Sunny and I are
going to have many many years of fun.
Thanks again
Eric and when I'm in the market for another horse I
will certainly be back....which may not be too far
in the future!!!

Ricco's Revelator

|
Good morning! Sorry
I haven't gotten back to you sooner, but I really had
not had a chance to ride Ricco much with weather and
obligations here in Virginia. He is a real
gentleman. He is the low horse around here. I am
amazed that he just walks away from a fight. He is easy
to catch, walks up to me when I call for him. I have
had him reset twice now. He is good for the farrier
also. I took him up to a local mountain trail in
the Blue Ridge on Saturday last week. He rode in the
trailer without any problems, compared to other people's
horses kicked and pawed their trailers and danced
around. I have been overly protective since his
attitude is so calm and quiet. He stays in a field with
one other horse. He was great on the trail. Traffic,
horses in the fields, creek, people didn't bother him.
He crossed a rocky creek in the trail and never missed a
step. He rode quiet and calm….A great old woman's horse
without a doubt!!! He was alert and willing all the
way. I haven't had a chance to move him out, but he has
a real comfortable slow rack. I am going on my first
big ride this coming Saturday and a big camping weekend
the end of April. I will keep you updated as his
progress. He seems lazy which suits me fine. I can't
get over how calm and well mannered he is. Thank you
every so much. I am looking forward to riding this
spring and have signed up for all the rides that I have
missed over the past 2 years. I would highly recommend
you to anyone. You sold me a great horse and worked
with me which most people would never had done!
Take care and best
wishes,
UPDATE:
Rode Rico over weekend at large ride of 90 horses in
the Blue Ridge Mountains. He did great. Crossed the
river which was up to his belly like a champ! He was
great on the ground, in the pen, during the storms,
hauling to and from, and a real pleasure to ride.
Thank you ever so much! If people don't buy your
horses, they are wasting their money and time while
buying from anyone else! If ever I need another one,
you will be the only I call.
Best wishes,
Belinda, Virginia
Hi Eric, I am a friend
of Belinda and rode with her on her first trail ride
at
Massies Mill , Virginia on her new horse
Ricco. As you know she had lost her horse and had
purchased another horse (Not from you) which did not
work out for her. I can not put into words how
perfect Ricco is and how happy he has made her so I
have attached two pictures to show you. Thank you so
much for making her dream horse be a reality. If I
am ever in the market for another horse ( I have
two) I will definitely be getting in touch with
you.

Essence of Sundust

Eric-
Dusty arrived safe
and sound on Friday night and I rode him Saturday and
then again today. He is very sweet, bonding with
everyone and nuzzling into my armpit. Lots of
personality and rides great! He is quite the talk of
the Larkspur Ranch, they are pre-printing all future
blue ribbons with his name!

Pushers Casper

|
Hey Eric,
Just wanted to drop you a line
and say that we love Casper! He has been great for
the whole family. My kids have rode him around the
farm and my wife has as well. He walks for them
and is very aware that he has nervous riders on him, so
he really takes his time with them. We have been
on lots of trail rides with him and he has been perfect!
He never spooks, rides anywhere that I ask him to go,
and when he encounters a new situation he handles
himself better than I could ever expect! We have
saw lots of deer and several ATV's on the trails and he
handles himself just like you said he would. He is
easy to catch, very friendly to handle and I just love
this horse! I appreciate everything that you all
helped me with while I was making my decision and I am
very happy with my purchase!
Thanks, Caleb- Kentucky

Clifford's Big Red

|
Eric,
Just wanted to give
you a quick update on Johnnie Walker Red. He is doing
fantastic! What a great guy. He is starting to settle in
very well. Our second horse, a thoroughbred mare, and
Johnnie have fell immediately in love. He is definitely
the alpha horse but they get along beautifully. Johnnie
has had a vet check and evaluation and he is in perfect
health, good for you, well done. I am very impressed
that the horse, is exactly as you have portrayed him. We
have not ridden much him yet, still giving him time to
settle. He crosses the creek in our pasture without
hesitation and does everything we ask him to at this
point. What a good horse. It has been great dealing with
you guys.
Julian, West
