Where oh where did you find this MAD? These pictures are wonderful!!
Is Market Rise the grey horse that wound up at Hurdle Hill Farm/Debbie Shaffner (now Stephens) in Buffalo, New York?
If so, I really liked that one too-along with a youngster named Virginia Clay
Tackpudā¦Was 3PO the one that would āwankā if you put a martingale on him? I remember one of her horses did back then. Kitty would always forgetā¦throw a standing on the horse, then scream and run away when he started to amuse himselfā¦with Jimbo rolling on the ground cracking up. 
Third of August was a sweet horseā¦She was owned by Kim Benzel when I knew herā¦She was at Tewksbury w/usā¦
fussy eater
Ran into Mink and Pearls owner a few years back. Said she was a real pisser. Hard to get to the ring, and they were really careful with herā¦ See what we didnāt know??
For an East Coast- West Coast RIDER, who remembers Susie Schroer?
Her ponies and horses had āFayreā in their name. I remember āNutmeg Fayreā and āScarborough Fayreā. She also rode some horses for Mrs. Waller (Tanrackin Farm) at one point. When she was REALLY little, I taught her up-down lessons through Pony Club.
I heard she became a professional in CA. Is she still doing that?
Oh come now, how can one love grey ponies yet hate it on their own head? Men donāt mind grey hair, it beats male pattern baldness.

Does the Neilsenās farm in Bedford still exist? I traveled there once and was gape mouthed at how beautiful it was. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Yes, Sunnyfield is still there. I was very lucky to work for a long time for them on that beautiful farm. They are truly one of the nicest families in the business, they treated me like gold.
Sadly, Mr. Neilsen passed away suddenly about two years ago. The farm still has all the race horse broodmares on it, which are Mrs. Neilsenās babies. In addition, Lendon Grey runs her dressage business out of Sunnyfield.
Oh gawd, Iām so not remembering SL being a chestnut. Iām so not remembering anything anymore. In addition to donning the thong-pends, Iāll just bling my eyelashes and call it a night.
lauriepā¦now donāt try to tell me that CPās/MDās Piece Oā Cake was a BAYā¦that one, Iām SURE was a chestnut! 
<BLOCKQUOTE class=āip-ubbcode-quoteā><div class=āip-ubbcode-quote-titleā>quote:</div><div class=āip-ubbcode-quote-contentā>Was Pax one of Kennyās Horses or should I ask </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Yes Radioā¦The orignal family I asked about that disappeared with set down notices in the AHSA news foreverā¦You all have mentioned everyone BUT themā¦arrrghhh!
Didnāt Anne Deveraux also have Them Apples?
I think that is my all time favorite name.
It was the Birch Wood room.
llsc, I think you are thinking of Lemon Springs, ridden by Sandra Caldwell. He was a great horse.
Iām not sure. I just googled and one of them is active in the sales area for TB racehorses. I did find a few hits referring to Don in 70ās.
Ponybreeder, here I thought you had left us!
yeahā¦and think to ourselvesā¦āHe isnāt THAT niceāā¦and smileā¦and nod
Forgive me, Victor

Teriā¦Yes, it [Shannon] really is quite lovely now. I guess Mrs. Pennington also donated an additional 30 acres to the town. Is Lisa Rex the former Lisa Kladky?..that rode Red Baron? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Yes, Lisa Rex is Lisa Kladsky. I knew her when she had Red Baron and rode with Brian Flynn I think. Brian rode for us some at Fairfield before Leslie came along, so I got to know Lisa at that time.
I know Stone Free (Jayne Schutt) was a grey, so maybe my synapses are just misfiring between Riot Free and Stone Free.
I saw Artie at the Pines the day after Steve died (of all the ignoble places). He was very sentimental about the place and it really made me tear up to hear him talk about it. I moved to the neighborhood about 40 years too late, I guess! But we had ālegendaryā places where I grew up in Pennsylvania, too. Even if theyāre a little beat up and funky looking now, thereās something museum-like about them that makes you long to slip back into their glory days just to get a taste of it.
