Sonntagskind day 18 under saddle!!

Lucy's story

Born in Houston Texas, Lucy Has been riding since age 6. Lucy Started riding Western at camp in West Texas barrel racing on a horse named Smoky Joe, at 10 she moved on the the polo club in Houston, riding hunter / Jumpers. With many horses needing to be schooled, she rode 6-8 horses a day in the summer. Lucy showed heavenly in the A circuit under Chris and Shane George, a great combination of skills. Shane would school you and get you riding perfect and Chris would come in and fix your equitation so you could not be beat. Lucy was 13 and under equitation Champion for region 9. Texas, Louisiana , Oklahoma and Arkansas. After this success Lucy went off to boarding school were she soon found a way to ride as a sport. At a barn in Litchfield Connecticut is were she got the chance to ride a thoroughbred stallion named Spike.The only horse at the barn no one else would ride, This was a definite challenge, as she was used to riding quite well behaved Show Hunters. Lucy was always up for a challenge. In no time this Breeding stallion, who spent the first few weeks on his hind legs, was learning to be a well behaved Hunter with an occasional pace event. They had a blast. Off to College, Marriage and a first child,Lucy lost track of riding. One day while Amber her daughter was playing with friends, Lucy came across a field full of foals, Falling in love with one, she visited daily. One thing led to another and soon Lucy had 2 mares foaling, A husband in Vet School " Thank God" and 2 very young children. soon 2 horses turned to 6, A big shocker to a husband who knew very little about Lucy's wild love for horse. After leaving Ft Collins CO and moving to Texas to a 287 Acer ranch, it just seemed logical that she needed more horses for all that land. The breeding program took off, the love for young horses turned in to starting them under saddle. Lucy soon found out every horse sent off to the trainer came home with one issue or another. Knowing the horses so well Lucy decided to start her horses on her own. This has led to much success. She can tell you it is not a walk in the park to start horse with no outside help. Learning from her mistakes, as we all make them, she has found a very good way to start young horse, Now very successful at bringing alone the young horses, Lucy has fallen in love with the Stallions. Fal Turro was the second stallion after Spike at age 14. Fal Turro is the most well behaved stallion. Super easy to ride, she would trust him with anyone. Thinking it is just luck, to have such a wonderfully kind gentile Stallion, She only hopped the 2 younger Stallion prospects would be 1/2 as kind as Fal Turro. An unexpected illness took her super Rubinstein colt Rubinmeyer. She was left with only one colt to start, the Sandro Hit colt, Sonntagskind. As roomer has is the Sandro Hits are very hot and can be hard to ride. Starting Her Sandro Ht she closed her eyes and asked Rubinmeyer to keep his friend on the ground. He was a star. Day 8&9 they rode out in the huge 100 acer field alone. Standing out in the field surrounded by over 200 round bails, brought back memories of the first stallion spike at age 14. This Sandro Hit is a super Star. With Rubin watching from above, Sonntag has good eyes on him. Lucy will continue to start all of her young horse.

The key is trust and respect. The young horse trust and respect their care taker, I am their care taker. I love them and they trust and respect me, I trust and respect them. Lucy Meyer
