Beth, whisper and poncho (Delaware) 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! 

Kathleen saddles (Utah) Hi, I just rode my littlest mare with this saddle. I have to tell you… it is my favorite…so light. which is what I need and good quality. It is very pretty on top of that, too! Do you ever give discounts if a person wants to purchase another one Just curious. Thanks. Kathleen I love the hunter green pad, too.

Judge Janice and Mr. Jack (Tennessee) Well, Ms. Glenda, Nice to hear from you – good email. Funny that you would send me this right now, I was just thinking of you a few days ago as I rode Mr. Jack (formerly known as Pretty Boy around your barn). What was I thinking? I was thinking what a nice horse you had for me, and how he is just right for me. Sweet, sweet fellow who would be nearly perfect if only I was a better horsewoman and could spend more time with him. That’s not entirely true because he is nearly perfect now even without great skill and constant attention. I just love that little guy even when he has his “not perfect” moments! You sure have an eye for good horses and you have made a lot of folks very happy. Was looking at your web site last week also just for fun – your buckskin Gunsmoke is a gorgeous horse. That said, I am even more happy with my little black horse a year and a half later than I was the day I bought him!! He’s a keeper for sure and you are a dear. Hoping you and Gerald are doing well. Janice (“Judge Judy”) Snider Morgan 

Jeanne and Smoky (Connecticut) 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 hope all is well with you and Gerald…..much thanks, Jeanne

Joker and Sue (West Virginia) Glenda That would be fine. Send the e–mail to whomever. Joker is wonderful. Our weather just broke here in the last couple of weeks and I have been riding Joker through the woods that surround our farm. Joker wintered well and went right back to work like he hadn’t been off for three months. I have had additional trouble with my knee and am facing total knee replacement. I know Joker will be a reliable ride during my recovery. Just last week my overenthusiastic sheltie chased a herd of deer back to me in the woods. Joker was fabulous. He just looked at he deer as they jumped over rocks and deadfall all around us. He was interested but unflappable. Thanks again for a job well done with Joker. Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity!!!

Melissa (Florida) Hi Glenda, I hope all is well and that you guys are keeping warm up there is Kentucky. It has been almost 3 months since Boogie has come to live with me in Florida and I want to update you on how he is doing. Boogie has really adjusted well to his new pasture mate, TJ. They are getting along fine now. He has finally given in to the fact that he is longer top dog in the pasture. He actually misses TJ when he is gone for any length of time. Also, I am now fly spraying Boogie just about everyday. He still is not crazy about it but he now knows that this is apart of life living in Florida. He loves going out on our trails. He trail rides alone with no problem as well as meeting up with other horses out on the trails. He loves my kids and my husband probably more than me. He always greets them when they go out to see him in the pasture and puts his head down so my 3 year old can pet him. We are really enjoying Boogie and are so happy to have him be a part of our family. Thanks, Melissa

Patsy (Illinois) Dear Glenda and Gerald, What can I say! Thank–you thank–you thank–you! Although we have not been able to ride J.C. yet, ( we are having the worst winter I can remember) we love him! It has been cold, icy then snowy! J.C. didn’t know what to think of all that white stuff, although it was funny seeing him eat it off the fence rails. He’s not complaining too much, because he squeals and runs to his stall when he sees me coming with his breakfast and dinner which consists of grain, bran, beet pulp, vitamins and soy oil steeped in boiling water along with a more than generous amount of hay to keep his belly full and warm. He’s like a little kid with his oatmeal all over his face! He is so sweet to work with on the ground and working around him in the stall I’ve never felt safer. Really enjoyed meeting all of you and enjoyed riding the trails with you Glenda, Shannon and Richie. Even though I was only interested in J.C. the other horses you guys were riding were great. I don’t know how you do it, but keep it up. There are a lot of horse people out there that would love to have anyone of your horses. Glenda, thank–you for helping me with all my requests and fears I encountered in purchasing my husband and my new friend. Although I think Randy will have a fight on his hands when we are deciding who will be riding J.C. Randy has already got the feeling that J.C. has become my horse. I also love looking at our new saddle and bridle we purchased from you although I’m sure we’ll enjoy it even more when we can finally use it.( by the way can you send me a tape of cinching up the saddle it was not in the box, I’m sure I’ll need it when the time comes) It is the most comfortable saddle I have ever ridden on and the tacky pads, what can I say, everyone will see us coming down the trail in our red and lime green pads! ( glad you encouraged me to get color instead of the black I was thinking of !) I’m sure once we start using the saddle I’ll have another fight on my hands, so I’m sure another saddle will be in our future.Say hi to Shannon and Richie for me and thank them for all their help when I was down there. I keep looking at your site, which I always enjoy and see a couple of new horses I love, so if we need another I know where to find him. Thank–you again for everything Glenda and Gerald ! Sincerely, Patsy !

Sue (West Virginia) Wanted to update you on Joker’s Riddler, the little roan racking horse. My husband has re–named him Batman and he is fitting in perfectly . We go on a trail ride almost every morning with my three dogs and Batman is great through water, over rocks and deadfall. He notices wildlife but is not spooky or reactive. Many of my friends ( and my husband) thought I was crazy to buy a horse on the internet but they have all had to eat their words. Batman is everything you said he was and more. My farrier was very impressed with his maturity and manners. I have been riding horses for 45 years , trained barrel, pole and pleasure Quarter Horses , train Standardbred race horses and judge open and 4–H shows. My standards are very high and you have met and exceeded them. You made the whole process very easy and your hauler was super. Thank You so much for doing such a great job. No one believes he is only three. The only issue we have had was that he needed his back worked on by the chiropractor. He was carrying his head off to one side and was mildly distressed by going uphill. Since the adjustment he is perfect. Thanks again and if you need a reference you can have people call or e–mail. Thanks Sue Brickell

Betty (Florida) Dear Glenda, I just wanted to say thank you for your patience and helping me to find my dream horse, Lexy aka Lacy. As you know, I live in Dunnellon, Florida next to Ocala which is known as the Horse Capital of the World. When I needed to find a new horse for myself, I started answering ads and visiting folks around my town. I wanted a child safe horse, I had fallen off of one of my young foolish horses and decided that the ground was much too hard and I was much too old for that kind of riding. As I visited these horses advertised as SAFE, BOMB PROOF I was very disappointed. One horse, I was told came out of the girl scout camp, I got on and within minutes of just riding around the barn area, the horse jumped about 3 ft in the air, spun around and off I was in the sand. That took one month of physical therapy to get over. Another child proof horse I visited, the mother of the child would not even go into the pasture and get the horse – she was too afraid. Another lady, had her horse saddled already and waiting for me but was also afraid to get on! I must have looked at 20 horses in all that were not safe as stated or for beginners as I was looking for. Then, I called on an ad and the lady told me her horse had been sold but if I wanted a good trail horse from a honest person, call Glenda Myers in Kentucky. She gave me your website as well. Once I started looking and talking to you, I was sold. You were someone who understood my fears and knew exactly what I was looking for. Our trip to your farm was exactly – no surprises – as you told me it would be. After riding a couple of your lovely, gentle geldings, I saw pretty Lexy in another paddock. It was my husband who asked to ride her. Even though everyone told me not to get a mare, she is sweet and smooth and does what I ask. I am so happy with her!!! Not to mention the saddle which we also purchased. Even Jeff, my husband, was amazed with craftsmanship of the saddle. Any who…I have my young foolish horse for sale now and as soon as I find him a good home, I will be calling you to send me another horse. Thanks again and please tell the guys at your barn hello from Jeff and I. We had so much fun in Kentucky! I check you website all the time. I look forward to talking to you soon, Betty & Jeff Allen, Dunnellon, Florida

Flash and Sampson (Texas) G & G, It has been a pleasure dealing with you in the selection of our new trail horses. You have been patient with me as it took me a while and 2 CDs. Being a big man, needing a stout horse and gaited, well as you know those horses are far and few in between. When we reviewed the last CD my wife kept wanting to go back and look at Flash but I kept telling her I need a horse not her!! I decided to go with Sampson and Flash, yes we are horse crazy people. On the day they showed up in Texas excitement was in the air. They both came off the trailer with no problems and commence to eating grass. The video did not do justice for Sampson, he is a very handsome horse. Both guys behaved as you said and just like the video portrayed. We have since taken them off property for our first true trail ride and could not be more pleased. You have 2 new friends in Houston and if I find the need for another horse you will be the first place I look. Please feel free to share my contact info with anyone who would like to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth. If you ever get down this way dinner will be on us. Best regards, Jack & Diane Malphurs Houston, TX.

Talons of an Eagle (Florida) Hi Folks. We have rarely commented on our acquisitions but Mary Ann and I thought we should do so in this particular case. You may recall we recently purchased two more of your horses; a palomino and a gray. The gray was named Talons of an Eagle. We renamed him “Snoopy”! His new name fits him fine. We decided to bring Snoopy to Vermont without even having much time to get his measure. What a great decision! He gaits like a dream and has as good a disposition as any horse we have. Loves people and handles on the ground like a puppy dog. On our trails, he will go anywhere without hesitation, including through strong running brooks, etc. Another nice factor is that he will come right to you in the pasture. That is great for last minute riding decisions. Whoever raised that horse for you should be complimented and encouraged to get you some more just like him! Hope all is well with you all. Bill Becker

saddle (Wisconsin) Glenda, Thank you so much for helping Bill with my birthday surprise – the gorgeous saddle! I never thought I would actually own such a nice saddle. Pistol Petey deserves the best, so I am really happy he got it for us! I have attached a couple of photos for you. He is so beautiful and such a sweetie. He is 16 hands now and 1100 pounds! We are looking forward to coming down to your place in another year or so to look at horses for our daughter Haley. She loves Pete and I think she is out growing her 23 year old mare. Thanks again for being so helpful – Bill enjoyed working with you! Cyndi Shepard

JJ (Michigan) Hi Glenda – WOW!!!! I turned JJ out with our other horses this afternoon and he fit in like he’d always been with them. He has a new best friend which is our white walking horse. Then I swear everyone in the neighborhood had to come see him. I took him out this evening for a ride and joined up with our neighbor and I have to tell you, I have found my forever horse that I’ve been looking for the last 8 years!!! You are the first person I’ve ever dealt with this is truly honest about the horse, they are everything you say and more!!!! JJ stood perfectly still for me to climb on, and then he was just as calm as could be like I’d been riding him my whole life!! He has a lovely soft mouth like I love, he rode beside, in front and in back of my friends big walker, never crabbed or anything. We went for a ride to places I hadn’t been before out here with my neighbor and I am so impressed with the way JJ is so confident. He snorts and has giddy up but what a true gentleman and a total doll. I’m not sharing this boy with anyone (except maybe my husband) he is all mine and I’m going to be very selfish and over–protective of him because it has taken me so long to find him. I truly don’t have words to describe how happy I am and how I feel when I’m riding this horse. I have fallen off the ceiling after having waited for him so long and died and gone to heaven!!!! Words can’t thank you enough for giving me the privilege of owning this horse. Trust me, after training horses for 30 years, this is one in a million and he’s mine!! Thanks for everything and we have an appointment to get him fitted to his harness next week at the harness shop and I am also looking forward to that. This is a true Cinderella story and I have found my prince of a horse! Cindy

Stephanie (Texas) Oh Glenda I totally love this boy!! Got to spend some quality time with him all weekend. My husband rode him too. He has not met Oreo yet, but the trainer I work with is in love with Hershey, so much so, he is trying to get me to show Hershey in June. I am not sure I am a good enough rider for that…. Hershey is really fabulous and especially good about going form his gait to a walk dropping his head. I think he is so sweet too. Stands real nice now that he has his nerves worked out (and me too). I love his silky coat, like a thoroughbred. Beauty!! Saturday was my first time to ride Hershey, my trainer’s barn was loaded w customers and I was nervous. Had a lot of fun w Oreo this weekend too. I am learning to split my time. Oreo is back home, but now Hershey is an hour away, so I am losing weight trying to ride all “my horses” and function normally too.. Having fun though.. My 6 year old girl rode with me on Hershey, loved it.. My 8 year old girl rode Oreo in the arena yesterday all by her self, guided him around pretty good. It was kind of sweet how Oreo would wander back to the arena center to me, he is wonderful, but a dirty boy. He comes up every morning at feeding with bushes in his tail and dirt all over him smelling like fish from playing in the pond. He has worn himself out playing and jumping and is so happy to be home now.. I love them both and thank you so much for all your help finding each one, just what I needed and asked for.I really appreciate you tuning in to me and my horse needs. Stephanie

Laurel (Maine) Glenda  This boy is just amazing. We had great trail rides yesterday and today. Yesterday I let my pal Jody ride Kodak, while I gave my other horse a whirl to see how much he had to give. We were out for over an hour, and you would never have known my other horse had been unsound. John Boy’s not all that confident, and he spun a few times at the wind in the trees until we hit on the idea of letting Kodak lead. He seemed to draw confidence from Kodak, even walked through deep water. (And this is a horse that would normally do anything to avoid walking through a puddle.) We gaited the last ¼ mile home, and I think all four of us had big wide smiles when we got back to the barn. Today I took Kodak out with a two–year–old warmblood filly, and he just about wore her out. She’s another horse that needs to trot to keep up with even Kodak’s dog–walk. We spent an hour on some NEW trails. Place seems to go on and on through woods and fields. Maybe the best news is that John Boy is now Kodak’s bodyguard. They put JB in the field with Kodak plus the friendly other grey and couple big geldings that had been inclined to bully Kodak. No more. Kodak never leaves John Boy’s side, and JB pins his ears if the other geldings make a move toward Kodak. If you could use a customer testimonial about your young horses, feel free to use this: I am so pleased with my young Kodak! No one at the barn can believe he’s not even three years old. He’s a pro on the trails, has excellent ground manners, is handsome as the devil and has loads of personality. I know he had a good head to start with, but it’s plain to see he has been extensively trained, and with kindness. This boy is worth every penny I paid. I thank you every time I touch him. Best wishes from my barn to yours! Laurel
