He who is faithful in little will be faithful in much. Luke 16:10
Be Strong in the Lord.
Our horses are what they are by the Grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Our Horses:
Neko: "Shez Got a Temper" all around gray mare with points and wins in eq, pleasure, showmanship, horsemanship, hack, halter, trail. Working on eventing now.
~ Neko was found as a yearling in a friend's barn. We weren't looking for a horse, but saw her and thought how lucky are we to find this little diamond in the rough. Her nickname comes from Maneki Neko, the gray cat with a raised paw which means good fortune in japanese, you will see one at every chinese restaurant. We bought her that night and a few days later, Thanksgiving Day, went back to bring her home.
Jake: "Apparently Insane" all around bay gelding with points/wins in everything from halter, showmanship, trail, working hunter, hack, eq, horsemanship, english and western pleasure, horsemanship and 3 day eventing (4'6") **Now owned by Miss Kahle Pella**
Birdie: "Blue It on Artifacts" all around bay mare. Birdie already has a futurity championship to her name with points in showmanship and hunter under saddle. She will be moving up this year for show experience and adding eq and horsemanship as well as trail to her skill set.

Not bad for $1500.00 horses!!!
Our horses are broke and trained by Corinne (Livengood) Schnur from the day of their first rides....and we only pay $1,500 (though we splurged on Birdie for $2,500 as a yearling!). Two congress jackets in four years ain't too shabby!
Our youtube site (username BLIVEN8704) shows the horses as babies, through being broke, first rides, first shows, etc, through now (and a lot of fun stuff inbetween)
