Bernadette’s horses

Cruise

Cruise is a purebred Morgan Horse. He is only 14 hands high but what he lacks in height, he makes up for in personality. Cruise is fun to ride and always willing to learn new things. He likes to pick things up in his mouth and drop them again, so we try to remember never to put things like brushes or riding crops where he can reach them. Cruise is a liver chestnut with a long white blaze down his face.

Vital Signs

Another chestnut (we like redheads at our place), Vital Signs is known at home as ‘Doc’. He was a racehorse once, then a showjumper. Now he is ridden by my daughter at pony club and he does all kinds of different competitions. As well as showjumping, he does one day events, shows, and even games.

Spider

Spider was born in September 2005. Because he arrived early he was very weak and for the first twenty four hours he had trouble standing and drinking from his mother. Now he is growing into a lovely palomino horse with a cheeky personality. Spider’s show name is Special Talent. He was named after one of my books and he is indeed very special to me.

Tuck

Haymeron Park Kentucky Man is a purebred Morgan horse. He is a bay, 15.2 hands high, and is called Tuck for short. Tuck is curious and very interested in everything around him. He has big round, intelligent eyes that seem to grow even bigger whenever he sees something new. Tuck is a bright, active horse. His cheeky personality makes him great fun to be around.

Cadence

Cadence was born on the 22nd September in the middle of the night. She is a Palomino Australian Stock Horse and a very big foal. Cadence’s mother is Bickham and her father’s name is Merool Top Boots, who is the son of Merool Snow Boots.

Jasper

Jaspar was also born on the 22nd September but in the late afternoon. That meant our whole family were lucky enough to be there to see it happen. Jaspar is a cheeky colt and full of life. He is the first foal to an old horse of ours, Summer Eclipse. His father is Merool Snow Boots, same as Special Talent.
