Odette is the horse that started it all. She may not have sparked my love for horses but she sure is a huge part of why I do what I do. I adopted her from the Bonita Animal Shelter in Southern California for a whopping $200. From the moment I saw her photo on their website I knew she would become a part of my family. Horses are a huge financial commitment so after three heart wrenching visits, the last being the hardest, I couldn’t stand the thought of her being anyone else’s horse. So since 2016, I have had the pleasure of learning and growing with my best friend.
This little red mare joined the RDR family in 2018 and quickly became a favourite at the barn. So much so that she earned herself a permanent place here at our facility. This little red mare has a show ring mentality and fully embraces the pampered life of a show horse.
Millie was an auction horse that looked like a sad, scraggly, donkey. After a short amount of time at RDR, she flourished. She is now an insanely lazy young mare with natural western mindset, heading towards break away roping.
I waited a long time to work with After The Races and I think it was well worth the wait. KitKat is the sweetest horse with beautiful movement and incredible athleticism. She was raced and then retired when her owners noticed her heart wasn’t in it after some time off. Now she is with the RDR herd learning to jump and she is ALL about it.
