Evil’s Moonlight Dancer:
I waited about half a century to get a horse but Dancer was worth the wait! He is the sweetest fella who ever walked the earth and clearly the most handsome as well. I moved him recently to a new stable closer to our home and he loves it there. Sunday we took our new 10-week-old Pharaoh Hound puppy over to meet him and in true Dancer fashion, he approached her slowly to keep her from being scared and then gave her a big smooch.
Just A Whisper & Poncho Eliminator’s Golden Sun:
I would first like to advise anyone who is considering a new horse to please contact Glenda first. I have been riding for 20+ years and I had a horse that was not a match for me. I had lost a lot of confidence and was about to give up riding. I began looking online at other horses and stumbled onto Glenda’s site. I was amazed at what I read and I liked the looks of several horses on the site. Amazingly enough my husband’s work was sending him to KY and I called Glenda and told her what I was looking for and she told me about several horses that she had that might fit the bill. When we got to her farm it was amazing. We walked by one of the barn doors and I saw this little white face looking out at me. Glenda greeted us and she pointed to the horse with the little white face and asked if he was to small for me. He was only 14.1 and I thought for a minute my friends are going to laugh at me for riding him but there was something about him. I like to say it was love at first sight. I rode Whisper and I didn’t want to get off and I didn’t want to leave him! Glenda had found me my perfect match and what was even funnier was he was not one of the horses that she had mentioned on the phone. He is the love of my life. You know that once in a life time horse that does anything for you and is so full of personality that you just spend most of your time laughing when you are around him. He is also extremely well trained. I don’t have to worry about anything with him. I can just sit back and enjoy the ride. And let me tell you ride we do! We just came back from the Big South Fork where we spent 5 days out of 6 riding and having a ball. This picture was taken at one of our local riding areas Fair Hill. We had just finished a 4 hour ride. The other horse in the picture is my husbands Poncho. Glenda not only created magic once she did it twice. My husband has back problems and riding his arabian did not help. He finally decided it was time to go gaited. We called and emailed Glenda about several horses but none of them seemed just right. We had planned a trip to her place because I though buying a horse from one of her video’s was just crazy. We ended up having to cancel. We were disappointed but a few weeks later when I talked to Glenda she had a horse in mind for us. She sent us the video and pictures and answered all my questions and we decided to purchase Poncho. I am happy to say he has been a dream come true for my husband and I. He does every thing right. He goes where ever my husband points him. You would never know he just turned 3! He also is a very fancy mover and my husband happily has no more back pain from riding! He is also drop dead gorgeous the picture here doesn’t do him justice. Thank you so much Glenda!
Apache’s Uprising:
I have been a self-proclaimed QH girl since the 3rd grade. Despite being surrounded by gaited horses (at the ripe age of 42), I refused to budge and spent most of my time “jogging” just to keep up. After losing my 3 year old QH to navicular, and wishing to never go thru that again, I went kicking and screaming to “the dark side” (as I like to jokingly refer to the gaited community) and decided to purchase a gaited horse. A good friend (and trainer) suggested that I look into G&G horses. After listening to my preferences and despite having more expensive horses for sale, Glenda gently guided me to Apache’s Uprising, a 2 year old Spotted Saddle Horse, who she believed had the greatest natural aptitude to excel at competitive judged trail/pleasure rides…and right she was! I have had Apache only 5 months and since that time, he has excelled in all aspects of training and has ribboned in every division, in every ride in which we have entered to date. In addition to being an amazing fearless trail horse, I recently took him on his first camping trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains. The ride was longer and tougher than expected but Apache never quit and finished the ride, 8 hours later, with heart and determination. From where I sit and at the end of the day, Apache’s goofy nature and loving spirit is far more valuable than looks or competitive ability…he has cured my broken heart…and for that, he is priceless in my eyes. There is no amount of money worth his value. Thank you Glenda…words cannot express my gratitude.
A Tex Sandman:
Thanks soooo much for hooking me and my family up with Sandman! He is such a great horse! I took him on his first trail ride yesterday.The place where I board him has 102 acres of nothing but trails through the woods! And Sandman did GREAT! He didn’t spook, misbehave or anything! He did exactly as I said when I said it! And him and my other horse Jo Jo are Best Buds! They follow each other around in the pasture, and when I pull them up, I tie them real close to each other and feed them, after they are done, the scoot as close as they can get to each other, lean on each other, and fall asleep. It is soo cute! They rub on one another, and they don’t care! I LOVE Sandman! Everyone says he’s perfect! They complement on his gaits, and his tempermant for being a three year old, an just how GEORGIOUS he is! Thank you so much for letting us meet Sandman! He turned out to be the one and I have no doubts about him not being the perfect one for me and my family!!
Grace and her baby Jewel:
Ever since I got Grace she has been a wonderful horse. So wonderful that I wanted a foal from her. I’m blessed to have both of these horses. They are both my girls, and I love them very much! I hope everyone can enjoy this picture of them!
Smoky:
Hi Glenda, attached please find two photos of “Smokey”. He is such a sweet natured horse! He turned 4 yrs old on April 1st. I just love to work around him as he is such a character! As you know, I bought him as my mare is 35 and I am trying to prepare to lose her soon. He is definitely a “partner”, solid on the trails, good around other horses and very confident with me. We are having fun doing “parelli” ground work. I would DEFINTELY COME BACK TO YOU for another horse. I’ve told tons of people about you and I know one of them bought one of your saddles – I LOVE mine. Thank you for all you did and I am sorry to be out of touch. I did do a whole write up for your scrap book some time ago but then I couldn’t get it to load…….I hope all is well with you and Gerald…..much thanks, Jeanne
Magic man:
Dear Glenda and Gerald, I now have a little magic in my life! At 59 I decided I’d better make my dreams a reality or I might run out of time. As you know, I had not ridden for 25 years and decided it was now or never. You introduced me to Magic Man and I knew he was the horse for me. What a gem! All the ladies at the stable where I board him want a horse just like Magic. He got such a great personality, is always interested in everything around him and listens and responds to voice commands. He knows exactly what I am saying! Thank you for making my dreams come true. I promise to be a good shepherd for him. Blessings to you!
PT Cruiser:
He is a great riding partner. I can be off of him for 2 or 3 months, then get on him and he acts like he was just rode yesterday. He is not afraid of bears, coyotes, or gun shots. In fact, he was more interested in the grass under his feet than the bears the last time we saw them. He loves to chase deer if I am not on his back…hmmm, maybe next hunting season we can flank a buck…LOL!
Rembrandt:
Hi Glenda and Gerald, Just wanted to send you a picture (sorry the quality is so poor; it’s a “still shot” from a video) of a recent Christmas parade I rode in, along with my friend Cindy on her TWH horse Jack. Wicked Masterpiece, who I call Rembrandt, was perfectly behaved and obedient and calm as always. Thanks again for a terrific horse!
Dude and Chief:
I wanted to send you a few pictures……………….thought they were cute of Dude and his new buddy. They are great and we love them.
Klyde:

Rocco and Kodak:
Glenda – Check these out! My friend Margie from California (who owns a fancy Hanoverian dressage horse) is here for a few days, and we have been taking Kodak and Rocco out for some glorious rides. We take turns on the two of them, and they’ve been great. Had a gal take our pictures early yesterday after we finished up
Creole:
Hey Glenda and Gerald, Just wanted to drop you two a line and let you know just what a great horse Creole has turned out to be.

I am sending you some pictures that were taking on a trail ride we went on with Ton Seay with the Best of America by horse back. We were on TV . I have finished him out and he is awesome He is my buddy. Anyway enjoy the pictures Rob & Creole
