| Suzanne, who has over 10,000 AERC miles
began by competitive trail riding when she was
11 and then endurance as a teenager in Western
Montana. Darryl mainly crews and volunteers,
while also competing a few times per year. They
began breeding in 1999 in an effort to raise
horses that like people and more specifically to
be endurance athletes with great dispositions.
Why Polish? Looking back my horses have always
been at least 50% polish, this was before I ever
paid attention to pedigrees. I admire their correct conformation, the fact that their
ancestors had to be tested on the race track
prior to being sent to the breeding shed, and
that immeasurable "heart" that they seem to
have.
Our mares are tested by accumulating 1000 AERC
miles including at least one 100 mile 1 day
ride. It is our belief mares are more
influential than stallions in determining those
traits we strive for.
Sincerely,
