Dusty:
10yo. Ky.Mt. horse. Bought him from pictures Glenda ‘s word and a video from Flatshod Farm. Would do it the same way again.
Domino:
Gerald and Glenda, just thought I would send you an update since I haven’t in awhile…Domino and I have joined a new drill team and his black coat sure sets off our colors, can you believe it has been 10 yrs since he came into my life as a scrawny 3 yr old? He still runs to me from where ever he is, always anxious to do anything and seems to just really enjoy my company if we just hang out! I can’t imagine having a better equine companion and can’t bear to think about him getting older..we have covered so much ground and done so many things together, he is loved by everyone who meets him and is such a character he always makes me laugh, thanks for giving me years of pleasure with a truly amazing animal!!!
Golden Bella A.K.A Bella:
We purchased Bella in May 2010. When I went down to G & G, I told them that I didn’t care about gender, age, and or color. Just wanted something my daughter could ride and be safe on. I had lots to choose from. I had it narrowed down to 2 mares. I was torn, they would let me ride each till I could make up my mind,(which took awhile), but then Glenda said she would choose Bella. I took her word for it, Sami(daughter) and I couldn’t be happier. She is everything we asked for. Thanks Gerald & Glenda for the two wonderful horses we got from you. My only sadness it that we won’t get to see you for awhile. 🙁
Rocket:
I purchased Rocket May 2009. He just turned 3. Was wondering what I got myself into with a young horse, but I will never trade him for anything. I couldn’t be happier with him. Thanks Glenda and Gerald, for this beautiful boy.
Dierks (formally RED):
Hi Gerald and Glenda, Ive meaning to do this a while now. I can’t begin to tell you enough how much Dierks has meant to me in my life. He fills all my days with happiness and pure joy. I can’t see him enough or spend enough time with him. A true gift and a true friend that Ive been longing for all my life. He is the best horse ever! My first and one of many Im sure from you both. Thank you so very much for helping and guiding me through the whole process. Ill be sending you updates and more pictures Im sure. Take care and God bless.
A Texas Storm and A Snip of Houston:
I just wanted to let you in on the two best horses in the world they carried us as we married yesterday. Storm and Houston are doing so well we love our boys. Thank you so much.
Feel Good Spiderman:
Spiderman is such an amazing friend to have. He was my first horse. He has been with me for a little over four months, and I have loved having him every wakeing moment. He is a pleasure to have with me. Although he has been going through past health issues, he is still my dream horse. When we first got him, I had a broken shoulder. So we both got to go through rehab together! Haha. I love riding him! He is one of the smoothest horses I have ever riden. I really tries for me and pushes himself to please me! Also, Spiderman is such a beautiful boy. I have never seen a horse like him. He is truely a Dream Horse!!
Lakota Black Bear:
Lakota is an AMAZING horse, and has taught me so much about gaied horses, and horses in gneral. He has made me a great rider, to the point where I can start training gaited horses! He such a great horse, and I honestly could not have asked for a better horse. I’ve been teaching him liberty training, and bridleless riding, and let me tell you he is great! I can ride him anywhere with just a rope around his neck! I love him so dearly, and hes the best horse ever! I also own his brother, JC’s Flashy Blue Threat!
Bucks Handyman:
Buck came originally for G&G Flatshod. The original owners got out of riding and I was lucky enough to find Buck. I was thru with horses but I went to see him at my friends urging. Just standing there at his shoulder looking at him, he reached around and hugged me. My friends said “He never did that to me!” Buck snapped me out of depression and absolutely chose me. He was used for a Field Trial Horse which is all about all out speed. He hadn’t been ridden in 3 years. When I first got on him, he wouldn’t move until I asked the 3rd time and then he had this most beautiful rythm that I ever had experienced. Coming off some bad experiences with other horses, within 15 minutes I let go of my death grip – which is one hand on the saddle horn and reins and the other hand on the reins as well, to just holding the reins with one hand – lightly almost just using my fingers. He has been an absolute angel from heaven and became my partner. He never questioned my authority and was always asking me what it was that I exactly wanted. There are so many wonderful stories about him, that I could easily go on and on. I love him with all of my heart and I even dream about him at times. I am somewhat disabled and I totally trust Buck. He reaches down to your soul and knows how to give what you want and what you need. We have 5 other horses from G&G, they are all awesome horses and we get compliments all of the time about them. The have good minds, good health, solid foundations and are wonderful companions!
Hunter’s Comet:
Dear Glenda, I hope this finds it’s way to your testimonial page because I want to share with anyone visiting your website, how happy I am with the purchase of my new horse, Hunter. Just to give you a refresher, I’m the lady who has been through multiple horses and couldn’t find the perfect fit for me. It was either because I had been misrepresented, or because I foolishly thought I could handle that particular horse that was too young or too wild. Well you sold me Hunter and this was horse number 4. Needless to say, I was very skeptical and worried that he too, would be uncompatible, but because of your kindness and help I trusted both you and Earl. I have to say, not only is Hunter beautiful, but he’s kind, sweet, VERY smart (he didn’t know neck reining but has started to pick it up after just one lesson) and a great great horse. I love him to death. I want to thank you so much for being honest with me and knowing exactly what I needed for a horse. It’s about time!
Bailey’s Creme Soda:
Bailey arrived last week and it was love at first sight! He is the sweetest, gentlest, most eager to please, laid back guy I have ever met. Thanks Glenda and Gerald, he is truly my dream horse. I will keep you posted as to our adventures!
Apache’s Uprising:
Greetings Glenda! Hope you remember us as it’s been a while since I have written. Lots happened this year, but my goal for Apache and I was to win Grand Champion in the Crystal Crown Series. Well, we worked and played, worked and played…and really just blossomed as a team this year. The trust level is thru the roof and I know that there is nothing in the world that Apache wouldn’t do for me. ANYWAY, WE WON!!!!! Just found out earlier this week. That’s right, Apache/I won the title of 2011 Crystal Crown Grand Champion. I am so damn proud. Ya know, he doesn’t do it for the ribbons, awards or bragging rights…he does it for me and for that alone, I am the proudest horse mama on the face of the planet. I can’t help but think of his journey. I bought him online, he was my first gaited horses and I had no idea what I was doing. This horse has really taught me how to ride and be a better equestrian. He took 8th overall as a 3 year old (which is crazy unheard of), 5th as a 4 year old, Reserve Champion as a 5 year old and now at only 6 years old, Grand Champion. Truly amazing. Even better, we had fun in the process…win, win for both of us. So, including a picture of us from last Saturday while camping at Flint Hill for the weekend. Next weekend, we are off to Doswell to compete in a John Lyons/Kenny Harlow Trail Challenge at the Equine Extravaganza. Yeah, running with the big dogs now. LOL. Truth be told, an Animal Communicator told me that Apache wants to be cheered by a crowd. Hokey or not, his wish is my command and off we go…. Hope all is well and I hope you are as proud of our boy as I am!!!!!!!
Painted Hawkeye:
Hawkeye is such a sweety and we sure do love him.So thankful to G & G Flatshod Farms for bringing him into my life!!
