Visions of horses running wild, or dreams of riding bareback and bridleless, were something I never really thought about before meeting my wife, Ashley. I was a recent art graduate of Penn State University, who was busy designing magazines, websites, and videos and occasionally doing trail rides with family and friends. Ashley worked at a local horse farm where she leased a horse from one of the boarders. She always dreamt of owning a horse, but it wasn’t until April 2003 where her dreams would come true and when my passion for horses would begin.

After a lot of discussion, we made the hard decision to sell Jiffy and find a horse that was easier for Ashley to handle, and one whom I could continue to learn with.
