Jade
NFS Jade is the very first horse I owned and is the reason I started Dusty Road Horses. He is a '97 Quarter Horse/Morgan cross gelding. I acquired Jade in 2000 and broke him to ride with the help of an uncle. Truth be told we had no clue what we were doing! Since then, he has taught me and continues to teach me a lot about training, handling, and caring for horses. He is my go-to trail companion with whom I have spent countless hours in the saddle. Jade previously belonged to my grandfather who lost his battle with cancer in 1999. Therefore, he is not, and will never be, offered for sale. He will have a home here at Dusty Road Horses for as long as he is grazes pastures on Earth. |

Two of my favorites after ten seasons of chuckwagon racing (2008-2017). Murphy was a wagon horse prior to me buying him. He worked great for a few years but just had too much power so he was put back on the hitch. He still rides like a dream. Kenny is a soft-hearted character that stole my heart in 2014 when I rode along to Ohio and he was brought back to become a chuckwagon horse. He was primarily a saddle horse but was also broke for the hitch.
These two were also part of Kayla and my wedding day in October 2014 which is another reason I wanted to have them both here at Dusty Road. Murphy and Kenny are now probably retired for good and spend their days out on pasture. |

Kids Got No Gold
Barn Name: Gus
NFS (2018 brings Gus some soundness issues in his front end; pasture injury?) Gus is a 2013 gelding born in our first foaling season at Dusty Road Horses. He was meant to be sold but somewhere along the line Kayla fell in love and laid claim to him. Gus had his first 45 days put on at the trainer (August-September 2016) and has been used as a trail mount, primarily for Kayla since that time. |
