“Dillinger” a 1993 Australian Thoroughbred purchased in April 2006 by an anonymous
sponsor for Meg to ride and compete. Dillinger and former owner Skyler Icke competed up to the
3-star level. Dillinger has a long and successful eventing career and I’ve enjoyed learning the
upper level ropes from this talented boy!
NEWS: Dillenger been sold! Congratulations to his new owner.
I wish her the best of luck with this special boy. He taught me so much in the short time I
owned him, I feel lucky to have had the ride on a one of a kind horse.

"Spotless" The true star of the THF team is Kelsey, life wouldn’t be the same without her.
Kelsey and I have been together since 1993. She’s a 15.2h Appaloosa mare who has done it all.
From the Children’s Hunters and Jumpers, to packing mules, barrel racing, and Eventing, she’s
truly one of a kind. Kelsey now spends her time at Stanford University where she’s a beloved
member of the Equestrian Team. Kelsey is also mother to “Spot On” and is currently in foal to
Formula One, due June,
2007.

"Spot On" Izzy is Kelsey’s 2006 filly, by Holsteiner stallion Cimmaron. Needless to say
Izzy’s spots were a big surprise, and everything about this little filly amazes me. Izzy’s
recent leap over a 4-foot gate gives me confidence that she’ll be one to watch in the eventing
world.

“First Rate” THF wouldn't be complete without Sequoia. "Squish" as he's affectionately
called, is a 13yr old New Zealand thoroughbred. Brought over from NZ more than 6 years ago,
Sequoia is owned by Margot Guis and is ridden/competed by Meg. This amazing horse made his US
eventing debut in 2002 at Ram Tap, winning the Open Novice division. He spent 2002-2004 as a
hunter/jumper until Meg took over the reins and his training career. The pair completed 4
training level events with 0 jump penalties in 2005 and recently made the move up to Prelim.
Feb 2006 Meg and Sequoia were involved in a riding accident. As a result Squish has been retired
from eventing.
NEWS: “Squish” retired from competition in 2006 but will
always hold a special place in my heart. He passed away in November of 2007. He is very deeply
missed.

"Kelsey's Testamony" 5/2/01 - 5/21/05 My baby boy Tucker ("Kelsey's Testamony") passed
away today. He was by Reputed Testamony, out of my former Prelim mare Kelsey, he was slated to
be my next big eventer. Tuck was only 4, had his birthday earlier this month. He was the first
horse I bred, watched being born, and trained from day one. For that and so many other reasons
he will always hold a special place in my heart.
He was found in the pasture, it appears he dies sometime late last night or early this morning.
Dr. Corey Orava thinks he fractured his skull. Most likely the horses were galloping through the
field and he hit his head on a tree branch. No one will ever really know. It was quick, nothing
anyone could have done. Tucker is now galloping in greener pastures with his Clydesdale friends,
Aunt Nellie, Baby Rose and others.
You were a good boy Tuck. I'll miss you. - Meg
